The Biggest Loser – “Thanksgiving” – Recap and Discussion

The Biggest Loser - Season 15

The Thanksgiving episode of Biggest Loser starts with a challenge where teams fill trailers with food & supplies for tornado victims in Moore, Oklahoma.   A family member will be flown in for each member of the winning team.

There are 40 boxes for each person on the team of various weights. They can only carry one box at a time. Most teams decide to do the heavy boxes first. Blue team wins. Hap gets to finally meet his baby boy & he’s surprised with his daughters too!

Holley is reunited with her mom, Bobby his parents, and  Matt his fiancé. With the family reunion Bob encourages Bobby to come out to his parents  and talks about being gay for the first time.David keeps up a Thanksgiving tradition releasing a balloon with a letter to his deceased wife since it’s close to her birthday.

In the episode there was also an update on kid ambassador Sunny who wore her finale dress to prom and now doesn’t use food to cope with the stress of being a high school senior.

At the weigh in Red team goes first. David loses 11, Jennifer 9, Tanya 4,  Rachel 12, & Ruben 7.  He makes it under 400 lbs!  For the white team Marie 4, Jay 7, &  Tumi 6.  Blue team needs to lose 34 lbs.  Matt loses 9, Chelsea 6, Hap 6, Bobby 9, and Holley  3. That puts her under the red line sending her home.

You can kind of see the regret on Bob’s face that he used the save last week. Allison then announces someone else is going home . Pretty sure it’s not an elimination. From the looks of next week’s preview it will be one of those where one person is sent home & their weight counts for the whole team. What did you all think?
