Here we go… The @ Home team gets it’s day.

Caroline brings the teams in to share numbers… and then tells them that the teams are gone.

They will be divided into duos, a blue team member and a red team member. Instead of one person being eliminated, it will be the duo. WOW!

People will be paired up based on the challenge… They go to the pool and one person can win the chance to pick the duo teams. Bobby says he wants Kai because she’s got the free pass.

Strange challenge… different options and everyone stepped forward together. Erik reaches in and has to eat pizza for 340 calories. Pam reaches in and gets bacon for 70 calories. Bobby gets strawberries for 45 calories. Brian gets a banana for 90. Heather the bitch gets ice cream (I think?). Marty gets raspberries for 60. Kai gets a hot dog and Wylie gets the power card.

Too cool - he’s had no power over the red team, and now has complete control over the game. Later, he starts getting freaked a little.

@ Home - Poppi from NJ 232 to 189.

Girl was rockin’ out to a smaller bod. Shirt and pants too big! Nice job, chica!

Wylie’s writing in notebooks and making analyzations and stuff. The guys are going up to talk to Wylie, and everyone’s discussing Kai and her pass. Wylie goes for a thinking walk… with the voices of the others ringing in his head. Tres dramatic.

250,000 Jello grand prize mentioned for the first time… and here’s his pairings:

Heather the Bitch and Bobby. (Poor fireman…)
Pam and Brian. Could be interesting. (She feels like she’ll be the reason he’ll go home.)
Kai and Erik! HAHAAHHAAAA!
Wylie and Marty.

The trainers show up and they introduce themselves as duos, and Bob and Kim are furious.

Pre-challenge workouts… Wylie was excited to get the chance to work out with Bob. He was drenched in sweat, and Bob said he had NO upper body strength. Kim gets pissed and starts a fight with Bob over working them out too hard. He had the most adorable pissed off look on his face! Like, “Bitch, this is my third season. Back off.”

They started talking about milk. Kim talks about 2% milk (the kind I drink) and then issues a milk mustache challenge - Kai won. Cute.

According to her, 3 glasses a day DOES work for fat/weight loss.

Challenge

Something with poles. They can only use one hand to hold a pole up in the middle of a ring without touching the ring. Winning duo gets a video phone call home.

Heather and Bobby are the first ones out. Next was Kai and Erik.

I liked Wylie and Marty’s strategy, but it fell apart for them. Brian and Pam won.

We of course got to watch their calls… too cute.

Last chance workout, they’re running outside. Carrying PENTA water bottles. They did work out together as blue and red teams.

Weigh In

Oh yayness, the yellow line.

Pam’s up first. She lost 4. Brian lost 6.
together: 10 lbs lost (2.19%)

Wylie lost 6. Marty lost 7.
together: 13 lost (2.40%) First place.

Kai lost 6. Erik GAINED THREE POUNDS! What the hell happened?

Kai thinks he might be sabotaging them?? Um, WHY would he do that? See, this is exactly what I mean about why I’ve hated these girls. Erik said that he didn’t push himself this week, and he was sorry, but damn, what on Earth would she think that he did it on purpose? She said “If I find out he did this just to sabotage me, I’m gonna be pissed, and maybe just pissed enough to go home… and send him home too.”
lost 3lbs total. (0.55%)

Bobby lost 5. Heather lost 5, which brings them above the yellow line.

Kai’s freaked out, she and Pam, Erik and Brian, are at risk of having to leave. The girls all huddled, cried, blah.

Bob pulls Erik aside when he finds out he gained 3 pounds. He admitted that he did it on purpose, because of the pass. WOW. I didn’t really think he’d be that kind of guy… But he figures that this way he’ll pull off a huge number next week.

Pam calls the pass a ticket to hell. LOL

Elimination

Kai decides to use the free pass, stating, “Erik and I have decided…” Brian and Pam are automatically gone. Bobby says some wonderful words, Brian’s crying, Kai’s freaked that Pam’s going, saying LYLAS (Love you like a sister) and everything.

Everyone hugs, cries, and Pam and Brian leave holding hands.

Their bringing in another duo… two members from home. NOW THIS IS FREAKING COOL. I love the way they set this up, and I give major props to the producers (et al) for this one. Now things get interesting, baby!!

In walks SIX people. They show Caroline in a “previously recorded moment” where she told those who didn’t make it on the ranch that first day about what was going to happen.

Can I just say something? Those people look amazing. Way more amazing than these guys. The top 3 men and the top 3 women are back, the man and women with the highest losses will join as a new duo.

Erik’s saying it’s unfair. Bobby’s talking about having to be polite to these strangers and welcome them in… and then politely kicking them out next week. *snicker*

After the show…
Brian looks FREAKIN’ AMAZING. Under 200 lbs, shaved off the face and hair, and looks great. Over 118 lbs. gone.

Pam lost an additional 25 lbs, doesn’t look TOO much different, but she does look good. Total of 65 pounds. She will not make it to the finals though, unless she kicks some ass.

Two hour episode next week, gang… starts at 8pm.

Previews show the “ranchers” just talking about how they want the “at homers” gone. Woah baby will this one be good!
