The Biggest Loser Season 14 - Episode 7

It's Week 7 on the Biggest Loser Ranch...and it's about to start getting Cray Cray!

Last week the Blue team voted off David. The first thing my girl Gina said was "They're stupid for not voting me off." And I've got to agree.

And then Allison walks in and tells them that they are going to Singles. Let the games begin!

As singles they all get new color shirts.

Alex - Green
Gina - Purple
Danni - Pink
Jackson - Yellow
Michael - Grey
Jeff - Aqua
Francelina - Orange
Joe - Maroon

It's Valentine's week and it's no surprise that this is the first week with a Temptation challenge.

Everyone walks into a room with all sorts of treats on the table. Cakes. Cupcakes. Chocolates.  Gina spies a piece of Red Velvet cake that is 580 calories. She mentions that it is half the size of the pieces she used to eat.

Michael confesses that there were many times that he would buy 6 cupcakes for people on his way home and in the 30 minute drive he would eat them all.

*Americans eat 58 million pounds of chocolate a year*

So back to the temptation. Whoever eats the most calories will get a 2lb advantage on the scale this week. They will also get to give a 2 lb advantage to another player.  And since love is blind, the lights will be turned off.

Allison puts on night vision goggles and for ten minutes she watches what happens. Francelina and Alex start right away.

Jackson says that the trainers have been drilling in to their heads that Sugar is bad. I love it when Micheal sits down to avoid the temptation. Danni one-ups him though and lays down to do crunches.

Jeff says that he's not a sweets eater, but he eats some anyway. 

Gina fakes them all out. She makes noises and they all think that she's eating. She says that they are stupid because she is diabetic. She would end up in a coma if she eats.

In the end, Jeff eats 3 pecan clusters for a total of 270 calories.  Alex ate 1036 calories and Francelina ate 1150.  If Alex had  finished her brownie she would have won. "It only works if you win."  Francelina gives the other 2lbs to Alex for working for it. 

Jackson is upset. Francelina is his best friend in the house and realizes that now that it's an Individuals games you can't count on anyone.

Michael says that it's obvious that no one feels safe. Danni tells Gina that she's worried. She and Francelina have pulled the same weights and now she will have a 2 lb advantage. Michael starts to wonder if they should have eliminated Gina last week.
