November 30th,2010 The Biggest Loser Asia Season 2 Episode 10 Recap…
Finally the strongest player of the season,Fish,has been eliminated. It came as a surprise as almost every person watching the show expected our dear Raj to fall below the yellow line and hence be voted out. Even the ex-red team members were all out to get him. As it happened the contestants below the yellow line were both former red team members splitting the voting power into an equal balance.
It was a stroke of pure luck for Leo that a temptation challenge was added to physical challenge where contestants could win a 0-3 kilo advantage. Although 3kg is too big of a reward,it is a gamble as could end up gaining nothing but extra calories. Leo was very strategic as he downed the 2 slices of pizza just as the very last minute giving no one else a chance to jump in. The cream on the pie was winning the big 3kilos on the gamble which ultimately saved him from being under the yellow line with Lori and consequently being eliminated. It was another life-line for ex-blue members Leo and especially Raj who was understandably under tremendous pressure after the last elimination. They knew that the ex-reds who held the majority were gunning for them. This fear alone would have driven Raj towards losing an extra kilo.
The other challenge was the army-style boot camp obstacle course which looked more intimidating than any last chance workout. The Originial Universal Bootcamp chief and his assistants did a pretty good job of screaming encouragements to the contestants apart from catching Genghis out as he tried to wiggle his way out of carrying the jerrycans. They were not letting anyone get away with anything. Maybe bootcamp is a good alternative to getting selected to participate in any Biggest Loser show as you seem to get the same treatment of getting your ass-kicked into shape.
This challenge was again won by Nai followed closely by superwoman Fish. It was the first time where the women were given a 5kg lighter load during a challenge and I feel that this kind of allowance for the weaker sex is a fair call. There was one particular challenge in the Biggest Loser US where an all-girl team went against an all-boy team where the women lost (and lost badly) because they could not carry as many gold bars under water compared to the men. It will be difficult however to observe this allowance in every challenge involving strength.
Nai was awarded immunity for his win,which he gave him the opportunity to employ his water-loading strategy at the weigh-in. I’m sure the gain was all water as there is no way someone as dedicated as Nai was going to put on 3kgs of fat. For the following week we can all look forward to seeing Nai lose a minimum of 5kgs which will guarantee him another week at the mansion without question,leaving Lori,Genghis,Leo and Raj fighting to stay above the yellow line. It was a bold move by Nai,who has prided himself for fair-play. But again we ought to remind ourselves that this is a high-stakes game in terms of cash prize as well as life-changing opportunity.
The Biggest Loser Asia Season 2 Episode 10 Weight Loss Results
Fish shows that she is human after all by having a 1 kilo loss after weeks of pulling twos and threes. Raj has been highlighted in red as he leads the chart in overall percentage with 25.69% and Nai in green as he has immunity. The scores are very close among the remaining contestants though Lori has some catching up to do. However each contestant has an equal chance of making it to the finals since scores are based on weekly weight loss percentage.
Despite all her cajoling,Fish’s charms did not work with the ex-blues like it did with Nai in a previous episode. Though the ex-blues based their votes on eliminating the biggest threat,Genghis and Nai decided to try and save Fish with whom they had formerly formed an alliance. Having two votes each,the final decision was based on who had lost the smallest percentage,which was non-other than our superwoman Fish who left with the biggest overall percentage of 29.17.
