Sometimes They Come Back. -

Tonight's episode starts off with the announcer telling us "So far the teams have lost a total of 483 pounds. But The Biggest Loser isn't just about losing weight. It's about changing lives." Lives like those of Andrea from Season One, who's lost a total of 67 pounds since last year, and who'll be making a very special appearance later tonight. That's great, but what happened to inspiring a nation? So far, tonight's episode is leaving me totally unchanged and uninspired.
Hopefully, inspiration awaits after the jump...
The Blue Team's in turmoil without Ryan, who was voted off last week. Well, half the team is. Because as Suzanne tells us, "Ryan was the glue between Suzy and Andrea. They needed her. For me, that was just a strategy. I take her out of the equation and now these two girls are like, 'uh oh, what do I do?'" Standing in the hallway, Suzanne tells Andrea and Suzy she feels really bad for what's happened. Suzy calls her out though, saying, "Okay, I know you're lying now." Now? You mean Suzanne's lied before? Say it isn't so! Andrea tells us Suzanne is doing everything she can to manipulate the situation. "Everything that comes out of that girl's mouth seems to be a lie," she says. Including telling everyone she's really a blond.
The teams head down to the gazebo for this week's Temptation Challenge. Hey, where's Caroline? I needs me some twin lovin'! Instead, Bob and Jillian are waiting for the teams in the gazebo. I like B&J, but putting them in charge of the temptation is like having George tell the wannabe apprentices that losing weight is a $500 BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY. It just doesn't have that same je ne sais quoi. Bob revealed a silver platter that held a double cheeseburger, french fries, onion rings and a chocolate milkshake. The sight of the shake reminds Suzy of this one time, at fat camp, when she drank 48 milkshakes...
Unfortunately, today's temptation isn't so much a temptation as it is a pop quiz. The teams simply have to figure out how many calories are on the tray. See what happens when Caroline's not around? Each team has five minutes to produce an answer. Here's the catch: The losing team has to do one stair on the Stairmaster for however many calories they guess higher or lower than the actual number. Shannon is not happy. Shannon hates the Stairmaster. Why the hate, Shan? Stairmasters have feelings too, you know. The winners, meanwhile, get to visit Universal Studios for a day. I don't know about you, but when I think diet and exercise, I immediately think Universal Studios.
