My Milkshake Brings All the Boys to the Yard... - 
by copygodd
Nick reveals the identity of the Larson: Seth! That's two votes Seth, one vote Nick. As the rest of the team's already told Nick they're voting for Seth, he believes he's safe and starts to gloat. But wait! Pete votes to evict Nick. Then Mark says he's changed his vote since last night, and now votes to evict Nick. Suddenly, it's two votes Seth, three votes Nick. If Matt votes for Nick, he's gone. If he votes for Seth, it's a tie and the women get to decide who goes. (I hope that happens sometime this season.) Poor Mattie. He's shaking so badly I wish Dr. Jeff would check on him, but he is clear at the other end of the table... Matt says the decision literally made him sick. It's just too bad he didn't make the decision before the Weigh-In, because losing all that vomit might have helped the guys win. Plus, I've been in vomit withdrawal since Survivor. "I also didn't sleep, and I know I've lost a true friend," he tells Caroline. "I vote to evict Nick."
Acting!
Nick is stunned. Or at least I think he is. Those professional comedians are so good at hiding their pain, only to later channel it into their art. Caroline points out that Matt's card even says "I'm sorry" on it. "Do you want to say goodbye to your team?" she asks Nick. "Nah," he answers. Now it's Caroline who's stunned. Or maybe she just has gas. "Really? You don't want to be home later, wishing you'd said..." "Nah," Nick interrupts. "I'm cool." And with that, Nick walks out of the elimination chamber, and, sadly, out of our hearts.
Matt tells Caroline that Nick's reaction makes him feel he made the right choice, adding, "I'm upset, though, because I broke my word in front of these guys. And I hope they can continue to trust me. Because we're still a team." Yeah, except for Seth, who now knows the whole "team" wants him gone.
Later, Nick consoles himself, telling the camera "I beat 'em all. America, next time you see me, there's going to be a cover charge and two-drink minimum. And believe me, I'm worth every pound." Again with the British humor.
One thing I think I forgot to mention in the prior recaps (I'm too lazy to go back and check) is that the show does a little update segment on this week's loser, showing how their time at the ranch changed their lives and inspired a nation, along with how much additional weight they've lost since their eviction. Remember when I said comedians channel their pain into their art? Well, Nick's come up with a doozy about his time on the ranch. "The Biggest Loser was the worst experience of my life." And while he looks to have lost more weight since he left (along with his facial hair), he says he doesn't know how much he weighs, as he doesn't weigh himself any longer. Seems he gave that up for Lent. Too bad he couldn't give up being unfunny for Lent, what with being a comedian and all. The producers get the segment's last (and only) laugh, however, in Nick's "Before" and "After" shots. Under his "Before" picture, it reads "Nick lost 41 pounds at the ranch." Under his "After" picture, it simply reads "His current weight is unknown." Snap!
So what did you think of this week's episode?

I thought Nick was a tool and I'm glad he's gone. Matt is my fav (did you see the picture of him in college- he was pretty hot).

I don't watch the show, but love the recaps. If Ms. Milkshake had jumped on a bike for an hour or four, do you think anyone on her team would have been mad at her?
These people are annoying. It sounds like the network found the most out-of-shape lard asses and is having fun showing them looking like lard asses.

Fat Fucks Phone Home. Funny recap coppygodd

What a great recap!! I loved last season, but this season seems to be tough as I HATE all the contestants! That being said it is certainly fun to hate Suzie. That comment about her not being ready to do her own hair and make-up was perfect.... And I fell out of my seat laughing so hard when everyone drank NO milkshakes and they ask Suzie and she's like ..."48"!! HILARIOUS!I hope she goes to the hospital next.

It didn't look like Nick had lost any more weight since he left the Biggest Loser House. Granted he had on a baggy t-shirt, but it looked like he slipped back into his bad habits and maybe even re-gained some of the weight.

Nick=sore loser. I also thought he looked bigger today then when they taped the show. Last year every single one of them lost alot of weight after they were booted off.

Great recap, copygodd. Love the AR-FE references and all.
Though I honestly don't get the deal with Jen and the faces -- are you confusing her with Jen on BB6? Now there was a girl who made a lot of faces. I like this Jen, even if she did have a zero-loss week.
I didn't like Nick much, so I wasn't sorry to see his sore-loser ass go home.

Nick's even fatter than before and he is the ONLY one (incl. the first offs from both seasons) to not lose more weight after they leave the ranch.
I bet he doesn't even show up for the reunion show.
Great recap Copygodd!

So when is the Biggest Loser 3-Way?

not confusing the two jens at all, mo. bb6 jen rolled her eyes. everytime they show bl jen she's making a face about something: whether she's voting out kathryn, not welcoming ryan back to the house, giving up on the train challenge...that girl is a facemaking machine.

Love the recap! Especially the bits about Dr. Jeff, the medical miracle man. Geez. Who would choose him as their physician?
I thought Suzi made a good choice in trying for the personal chef for a week. It paid off, too. She and Ryan both lost more than the others.
If I were voting, Jen would go next. Snotty, whining, will-always-be-fat beetch that she is.

Funny how NBC is now redefining the term "Biggest Loser" as a winner of sorts. However, if we were to go back to the original meaning (i.e. Loser(n): a failure), then my vote would definitely be for Nick. Nick you have now become the Biggest Failure. I'm sure the rest of the group is glad to see you leave.
