The episode starts with Jillian talking to Craig about how his father died of a heart attack while playing with him when he was a child. He feels responsible for the death so hanging onto the guilt helps him hang onto his father.
Ruben makes a visit to Dr. H where he learns he has diabetes. He says he’s worked to be a professional singer since he was 11 & he wants to stay around. A workout montage makes me uncertain how to feel about Bob’s mustache haha. Jennifer worries about her youngest daughter who picked up her habits & is overweight.
Time for the first challenge of the season where they learn one person’s weight will count for the whole team at the weigh in. Nobody will know until the weigh in who will represent each team. A roll of the dice at the weigh in will determine which contestant’s weight counts. The team that wins the challenge gets a second roll so they will have a choice between two people to help win the weigh in.
The challenge is to take buckets of water over a hill until they fill a container to the marked line. A roll of the dice each run determines how many buckets they can take at a time & the entire team is tied to each other. White team seems to have the worst luck rolling so this makes them very behind. Blue team wins the challenge so Bob will decide which of 2 contestants will represent the team.
Hap gets to call his wife on Facetime to see his newborn son for the first time! We also get an update on Lindsay one of the kid ambassadors from last season. She has inspired her brother to lose weight & she’s ready to start high school healthy.
Last chance workout–they all have to be ready in case their name comes up. Dolvett rolls Tanya, the one person on his team who didn’t want to be chosen. Jillian rolls Fernanda. Bob rolls Chelsea & Hap so he decides to go with Hap because of how hard he worked all week.
The weigh in begins with the blue team Chelsea loses 6, Holley 10, Matt 8, Bobby 10 & Hap loses 13. White team Craig loses 11 lbs. , Marie 5, Tumi 8 , Jay 11 & Fernanda only loses 2 ..way below the 8 she needed. Red team goes last with Jennifer losing 9, Ruben 10, Rachel 8, David 11, & Tanya only needs to lose more than 2 lbs.. She loses 4. That means the white team loses & with the lowest percentage of weight loss on the team Fernanda goes home.
