After bidding a tearful farewell to Saw, the Reds walk into the Mansion with their heads hanging low. Nai and Fish dont feel like talking and go straight up to their rooms. Raj, Leo and Jonathan are waiting to find out what happened and Jonathan voices their curiosity - Why Saw? Lori is upset at the way Saws elimination was handled and shares that with the Blue Boys What Im most angry about is the way that Saw left. For him to have you know, three minutes to pack his bag. He thought he was safe. I just thought he was really wrongly done by. Genghis is convinced that Loris irritation is to do with the fact that it was Saw, and not him that was eliminated. The Reds go to bed a divided team.
The air in the gym is heavy as the four remaining Reds get onto their respective machines, waiting for Kristy to come. I couldnt bring myself to speak to any of my team members and I do not know how to face Kristy. Says Fish. Kristy walks in, immediately aware that Saw is no longer a part of the team. But she also picks up on the uncomfortable vibe amongst her team. Concerned, she goes up to Lori to find out what the problem is. A divided Red Team then proceeds to fall apart as finger pointing and name calling ensues. Lori accuses Genghis and Fish of ganging up against Saw, who according to her deserved to stay in the competition. Nai doesnt offer any opinion at all and Fish is in tears. If one person is dragging the Red Team then we have to cut off that cancer and that cancers name is Lori. Says Genghis. Worried that her team may be fragmented beyond repair, Kristy does some damage control, and says The decision has been made. Lets get on with it. What we need to do is to still operate as a team. We still got Red shirts on.
Meanwhile, excited to share the news of their victory with Dave, the Blue boys wait at the Mansion for their trainer. As Dave walks in and sees three intact Blue shirts in front of him, he emphatically punches the air with pleasure I was just ecstatic to immediately count three Blue team t shirts. It was just an awesome, incredible feeling. The boys proceed to tell a very proud Dave that they each pulled a four kilo weight loss at the Weigh in the previous night.
STICKING TOGETHER
Back in the gym, Kristy is pushing her Reds hard. Keen to get all the negative energy out of their system, she ups the ante in training. I didnt want something to have happened to my team that would tear them apart. So I try and get them to channel that emotion into all of their workout that they do., she says. Knowing that they have personal differences to work through, Kristy keeps an eye on both Lori and Genghis. Lori is kicking the pads with renewed intensity and seems to be getting all her aggression as far as what happened last night out of her mind. Genghis is reminded by Kristy that he has been given a new lease in the competition and he needs to prove it to the team that they made the right choice, in keeping him and not Saw.
By the end of the session, the Reds come together and Kristys encouraging words - No matter what happens we stick together. Integrity, loyalty, support. These are the things I want you to live your life by., seem to help them put all their differences aside.
Dave leads the Blues outdoors to switch things up in training. Having spent more than eight weeks with the three boys, Dave has a clear opinion on each ones strengths and weaknesses and uses that to push the boys in training. He shares his opinion on each one I think Leo is very strong. He is probably the third strongest competitor in the competition.. Raj is simple minded. And very focussed when it comes to training. He dots the Is and crossed the Ts, makes sure that he does all of the work.. Jonathan has done remarkable. He has lost a lot of weight. Hes been very consistent and very steady with his weight loss. The Blues seem stronger than ever and go through their harsh training without a single complaint.
THE CLUB
Back at the mansion, Kristy and Dave drop in to share something that will help boost the morale of the remaining seven members in the competition. They show them the testimonials and member stories on the biggestloserclub.asia website, hoping to inspire each one of the Red and Blue team members to work harder than ever on a daily basis. From everyday people to the contestants from Season One, they read about how many lives have changed thanks to the Biggest Loser show. Lori says, I think the best thing about the testimonials is actually seeing the amount of weight that both the contestants and also people in real life have lost using the website so its quite inspiring and very motivating to keep going.
BACK TO BLACK
At the weeks challenge, the Reds and Blues walk side by side on the Port Dickson beach. They are greeted by Marion under the hot, sweltering sun and as she utters the words Its time to switch things up., everyone is expecting the worst. Genghis voices everyones concern When Marion said something about to switch things up, the thing that came to my head is this again gonna be another challenge where we have to give one of Red team member to the Blue team? I mean, what the fuck man?
Marion soon puts everyones fears to rest as she announces the Singles stage of the competition. Big smiles of relief and pride greet this announcement and Fish says The fact that were all going into the Singles, its a huge burden just fall down from my shoulders. Im no more Team Captain, and I dont have to keep my team together. Its a huge, huge stress reliever.
Marion then hands out Black t shirts to all the contestants and they eagerly put them on. With the Red and Blue gone forever, they each realise that the black t shirt signifies the milestone in the competition that they have all reached. But there is still a challenge to be completed and Marion shares the rules with everyone.
It is a Gatorade beach challenge that involves running back and forth on a track in the sand where Gatorade bottles are lined up on either side. The contestants will have one less bottle to grab as they go from side to side. The contestant that does not manage to grab a bottle will have to immediately drop out of the relay. And the last man standing will be declared the winner of the challenge. Both immunity and a makeover, courtesy of The Studio are a part of the reward, which make winning the challenge that much more crucial.
The race has hardly even begun and Genghis is the first to drop out. Lori follows him soon after and says - The reality of the situation is that Im 43, and you got really fit young guys who are in their twenties, that are much faster than me. There is no way Im gonna kill myself. The hot sun and the running in the sand take their toll on Jonathan next and it is just Fish and the boys left in the relay. But as there are still 3 laps left, Fish runs out of steam. Having started off with a sprint Leo too is unable to keep up with former Blue team mate Raj & ex Red Nai. I only know how to go a 110%. But running in the sand was no joke. It was tiring. I was gasping and fighting that I just burnout., says Leo.
In the end it is down to Raj & Nai and the former Red gives his all to the last lap and grabs the single Gatorade bottle and claims victory in the very first Singles Challenge with his signature yell. He voices his excitement Winning the Gatorade challenge over the former Blues its the best feeling so far in this whole competition.
Marion congratulates everyone at their effort, and announces Nai as the winner and Nai surprises everyone and gives his makeover reward to Fish. His ex Red team Captain Fish is overjoyed at the prospect of getting a chance of going home How sweet and generous is Nai for him to actually give his reward up to me. I mean, I owe Nai big time!
Marion then bids them goodbye and all seven head back to the Mansion. They each have a big smile on their faces as they relish the fact that they have finally reached this definitive moment in the game. At the Mansion, they all gather in the lounge and share their thoughts. Nai says You see, all around the lounge room, me myself, my fellow former Red and the former Blue, all in Blacks. Its just weird. Not used to it yet. And so The magnificent seven call it a night.
TRANSFORMATION
The next morning, Fish is off to her hometown Singapore to enjoy the Reward courtesy Nai Its been two months Im in Malaysia and to go back to Singapore, Im really excited!. She is greeted by The Studio staff and her makeover begins with receiving brand new clothes which are a size 14. Not having worn a regular size for ages, Fish is overjoyed when she discovers that she has actually lost enough weight to fit into the new outfits. Once ready she goes into the photo studio for her photo shoot. As Fishs shots are being taken, the photographer casually mentions that there seems to be something missing. That is when her boyfriend Wan walks in with a bouquet of flowers to surprise her. An overjoyed Fish cannot believe her eyes and rushes to greet the man she loves - Oh my goodness! Insane! Im so happy to see Wan, my boyfriend, after two months of not meeting, of not talking. Its unbelievable. The excitement dies down and the shoot wraps up, and then Fish is shown her modelling shots. Amazed at her own transformation Fish is over the moon I really want to thank The Studio for letting me have this chance and giving me this beautiful transformation and giving my confidence back.
GET FIT AT THE MANSION
Back at the Mansion, the Contestants are hanging about waiting to leave for training. As Raj is walking past his former Blue meeting room he notices something different I noticed that the room had been shifted around a bit. Theres a video game console, it had Fitness First products like the Fitness First mat and the Fitness First ankle weights and I was like, Whats this?. And I called everybody in
The Contestants discover that they are being treated to a surprise Skype call from former Spice Girl Mel B. She introduces a new video game to them Get Fit with Mel B. and encourages them to continue on their weight loss journey by using this tool in the real world. Once the Skype call is over, the Contestants try out the video game and have a laugh at each other. Fish says, Each and every one of us had a turn on the game. I had a good sweat going on, getting your body moving. Its fun, its like dancing basically.
ANYONES GAME
The next morning, the seven singles walk into the gym looking resplendent in their respective black t shirts. They are all excited to share the big news with their trainers. Kristy and Dave walk in with their team colours and immediately break into big smiles as they see their Contestants in a different colour. Dave echoes their thoughts Were pleasantly surprised to see that the Contestants were no longer wearing Red or Blue. That they all had on the mighty black t shirts. You can see the pride in their faces as they wore those t shirts standing in front of us. It was a special moment. Having congratulated each of them for making it this far, Kristy and Dave go and change into their own black tops. They both inform the seven gathered in front of them that now that there are no teams, they are free to train with whichever trainer they want. I will of course definitely train with Kristy. But I mean its good to actually mix things up a bit because Ive never trained with Dave. I feel that its also good for my body to just shock it into doing something different. But whether others echo Fishs thoughts on this or not will remain to be seen.
As training starts, the trainers go to each and every Contestant, congratulating them individually in achieving this milestone. They recall how much they have all changed over the last eight weeks. Dave says I think the black t shirts for me represents a significant milestone in this competition, where everybody is out there competing for themselves. Were down to the muscle end in the competition and this is gonna get tougher and harder here, with the most spirited people left. Its gonna be anyones competition.
With the former Reds and Blues training together for the very first time the camaraderie in the gym is there for all to see. But this training session is no ordinary session. It is the first Singles training and also the Last Chance training before the Weigh In. Lori says Im actually trying not to think too much about the first singles Weigh In. Im the old lady in the competition. But I can keep up with the training. And I can keep doing what Im doing and Im not scared. At this part of the competition, Im not anxious.
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
And then its time for the all important, first Singles Weigh In. Marion greets the seven contestants and informs them that before the actual Weigh In starts, she will be sharing the individual total weight loss percentages for each of them, to let them know their overall standing in the competition. Starting from the bottom of the table, she reveals Jonathans name, who has lost a total of 32 kilos and whose weight loss percentage stands at 16.75%. Lori is at position six in the table with 23 kilos lost to date and a weight loss percentage of 19.66%. At number five Marion reveals Genghis name. His 34 kilos weight loss and 20.99% of total weight loss brings a smile to his face Im very proud of myself that I lost close to 21 percent in a very short span of time. Not that many people can do what I just did and its an amazing, amazing thing.
Former Blue, Leo is above Genghis in the table at five, with an impressive 21.17% weight loss percentage and a total 29 kilos lost. The coveted top three spots are announced next. Raj comes in at number three with a total weight loss percentage of 22.22% and a 32 kilo weight loss to date. Two former Reds are left to fight it out for the top two spots. Everyone is waiting with bated breath to know whether its Nai or Fish on top. With a difference of .18% between the two, Fish sneaks into the top spot with an astounding 25% total weight loss percentage. And Nai follows his former Captain with an impressive 24. 82%.
As the Contestants congratulate Fish and celebrate their individual achievements, Marion reminds them that these percentages are calculated on the basis of their total kilos lost since the start of the competition, but in the official Singles Weigh In which is just about to start, the calculations are based on their week to week weight loss. Shocked faces greet this piece of news and Genghis voices everyones concerns Always expect the unexpected. Everything is reset to zero. So every week, you need to give your best to perform. Its really really tough pushing yourself to the max, all the way to the end.
Marion then introduces the familiar yellow line to the seven gathered in front of her, telling them that the two contestants with the lowest amount of weight loss percentage for the week will find themselves below the dreaded yellow line and be up for elimination. With this piece of news out there for everyone to chew on, its time for the actual Weigh In to start.
Since Nai had won immunity at the weeks Challenge, he is the first one to go up on the scales. Marion informs him that whatever his weight loss for the week, he is safe from elimination. Nai is pleased to see a three kilo loss and a 2.19% total weight loss percentage on the screen. Since he is not in the running for elimination Nais stats are in the colour green to differentiate him from the rest.
Former Blue Captain Raj is up after Nai. He looks concerned as he waits for the scrambling numbers to stop. With a two kilo weight loss and a 1.79% of total weight loss percentage for the week, Raj does not look too pleased.
The Weigh In carries on and Leo takes the stage. Like Raj, he too loses only two kilos. Losing two kg, youre conflicted. Because youre happy but youre not too happy. But its not like were lazy. Its not like we didnt do the work. Its just that you cant control your body losing weight. Says Leo. His total weight loss percentage of 1.85% moves Raj below him on the leader board.
Former Red, Lori is next. Her one kilo loss for the week puts her weight loss percentage only at 1.06% and she moves in the fourth spot below the boys. The only other girl left in the competition is next and Fish shocks everyone once more as her three kilo weight loss for the week results in a 4.17% of total weight loss percentage. This puts her right on top of the leader board, a position Fish is getting all too familiar with. To see my name at the top of the table, I feel great knowing that I get to kick some big boys ass.
Fishs former Red colleague, Genghis is on the scale next. His weight loss of four kilos for the week makes his weight loss percentage stand at 3.12% and that immediately pushes him to the second spot on the table, just below Fish. As Genghis smiles acknowledging his impressive numbers on the board, Lori does not look too pleased. Marion informs her that she is the first person to go below the yellow line. And the person who is balanced precariously just above the yellow line now is Raj. I was nervous that I was going to go below the yellow line. Knowing my percentage is 1.79%, I felt it might not be high enough to keep me above the yellow line.
The last person to Weigh In for the day, Jonathan is invited up on stage. And like his former Blue team mates, he too puts a two kilo up on the board as his weight loss for the week. His weight loss percentage of 1.26% puts him below the yellow line and Raj, breathes a sigh of relief.
CUTTING THE FAT
Back at the Mansion, it is time for deliberation. The five Contestants with the power to send someone home, sit with Lori and Jon and are keen to hear their thoughts on the matter. I would really love to stay for another week. It is anyone game with the new rules and regulations, which came as a shock to me. It actually fired me up and thought I should actually fight for my place., says Jonathan, who knows that he has nothing to worry about as far as his former Blue boys are concerned. But he has no clue how Nai, Genghis and Fish will vote. Lori states her case and says that she is the only one with a young child, and is keen to set a good example for her daughter and wants to stay in the competition as long as possible. She is sure about Fish and Nai, but doesnt know which way Genghis will lean and says I felt pretty confident that the Red Team members were going to support me. Genghis is always a wildcard. You never know what Genghis would say. Genghis keeps his cards close to his chest and waits for the actual elimination to reveal what his thoughts are on the subject.
In the Elimination Room, Marion greets the seven Contestants to their first Singles elimination, and tells them that this is the first time the former Blues and former Reds will be voting together for someone to go home. With one former Blue and one former Red up for elimination, the room seems to be divided into two camps. Marion asks Raj to go first. Stating his allegiance to his former team, Raj votes for Lori. In keeping with the same sentiment, Nai votes for Jonathan. Leo goes next and as he reveals Loris name, no one is surprised. Ex Red team Captain Fish, votes for Jonathan. The deciding vote comes down to Genghis. And in a surprise twist of events, Genghis does not give in to his negative sentiments towards Lori and with the words .I dont think my family raised me to be spiteful, to be angry, to be vindictive, so I voted for Jonathan., he reveals his vote.
And so with three votes against him, Jonathan leaves the competition and only six Contestants remain to fight it out to be crowned Asias next Biggest Loser.
