Biggest Loser Week 7 Still Filled with Drama

Week 7 of the Biggest Loser was another emotional, drama-filled episode, as the Black Team faced off the giants that are the Blue Team. After the Blue Team released Jackie last week, the show kicked off week 7 with Dan's trust issues and his feelings of being on the chopping block. After a long talk with Bob, he opened up to his teammates about how he really felt about his mom going home last week. The only question is, was he really being honest or just trying to keep his bed at the ranch?

After losing thirteen pounds in week 6, Bernie was awarded the Biggest Loser of the Week prize. He had the choice of choosing from "family", "luxury", or "game-play." Of course, at this stage of the game it would only be fitting for Bernie to choose game-play, which he ended up doing. His award for the week was 50% off at the weekly challenge.

At the weekly challenge, the teams were to hold up, while on a balancing beam suspended above water, the combined weights of their own personal weight loss and that of another teammate's. Mark and Dan were paired up for the heaviest weight at 135 pounds, while Bernie and Brittany only had to hold up a measly 60-something pounds. The Blue Team also had one more team which consisted of Roger and Jay, while the Black Team had an additional pairing with Paul and Maggie. The Black Team staved off the blue team to win this weekly challenge, for the second week in a row, giving the Black Team the decision to grant a Blue Team member and Black Team member immunity.

The day after the weekly challenge, Jillian invited her mother, who is also a psychotherapist, to the ranch to talk to each of her team members. Her mother was able to help the Black Team cope with why they have weight issues. It also appeared that she just offered her ear to the Black Team members to vent. It was one of the most heartwarming moments of this season for sure. Meanwhile, Bob took his "man-sized" Blue Team for a little hike, after a disappointing failure to win the challenge. Bob was able to give his team more confidence in themselves and trying to reassure them they would be victorious at the weigh in.
