The seventh episode of the season 8 of ‘The Biggest Loser’ was aired on 17 February 2009. This was one of the most challenging and exciting episode of this season. From this episode onwards not the teams but single players will be eliminated. And the first one to leave the show as a single was Blaine, from Black team.

This week’s challenge was very thrilling and demanding. I am sure it must have taken the hell out of the contestants. The contestants had to climb up a hill, where they found 130 keys. The contestants were fighting this time for the key to the gym. Out of these 130 keys only two were the correct keys. The difficult thing was that one person could pick only one key at one time they then had to climb down the hill and see if that key fitted into the two locks. After climbing the hill for 56 minutes Shanon and Helen, got lucky and found the first correct Key. It’s Bob who managed to get the second correct key.

As a reward only the two winning teams get to use the gym and the rest of the contestants will have to follow their exercise regime without gym. Jillian gets very angry when she comes to know that her team just can’t enter the gym and she will have to make them exercise without the gym. On the other hand, Shanon and Helen turn Jillian’s side of the gym into a lounge.

The best part of this episode was when we came to know that contestants are really getting along with each other from the amount of fun and good time that they are having on the sets. Tara on the sets reveals that she misses Blaine and is afraid Laura won’t be able to cut it this week.

After all this excitement, it was time for the saddest part of the series, where elimination was to take place. Bob’s team made the moral decision last week to send Blaine home, which by the way I have already revealed. But the sad thing is that Blaine had to leave the show.

Now, let’s see what happens in the next episode of ‘The Biggest Loser’ and who will have to leave the show.

“The Biggest Loser” is an inspiring show that not only motivates people to lose weight but also teaches them how to live a healthy life. The best part about the show is that whosoever entered the show, leave aside who won and who lost, always claimed that the show changed their life and shown them way to a life which they were being deprived of. People have often said that their dreams and aspirations have changed since they entered the show. Now this is what matters and have kept the show going for years now.

“The Biggest Loser Tv Show” is currently running into its season 7 and during week eleven it was Cathy Skell who got eliminated from the show, though she volunteered for that. I am sure that it must be a little disheartening for Cathy to leave the show, but what she gained from the show was a life changing experience. This is what 48 year old sales closing agent from Shiocton, had to say after she got eliminated, “I never thought that I’d make it this far, I’m totally shocked that I made it past mid way”. “I’m very proud of the accomplishments I’ve made. I feel strong and I enjoy exercising, I enjoy pushing myself. Exercise is something that is so empowering, especially for someone like me who is a recovering alcoholic… I mean the sky’s the limit on what you can do.”

During this episode, all the contestants get to go back home and meet their families, which was a wonderful experience for them. The contestants who lost maximum amount of weight were Tara and Kristen. But at the weight in, it turns out that Kristen has lost maximum weight. Jillian Michaels, fitness expert then explains that Tara is exerting herself a lot more than required and should take Jillian’s advice for rest and sleep.

Well, to know what happens next week, we will have to wait and watch. Let’s see who loses maximum weight and who gets eliminated from the show.
