The Biggest Loser, “713”
Ali Vincent, the first female winner on "The Biggest Loser," returned to welcomed back some axed players. Nicole, Estella and David, who were voted off weeks ago, weighed in for the returned player spot. Nicole won, having lost 87 pounds since first entering campus. Along with being allowed back on the ranch, Nicole received immunity. Everyone felt she was a huge threat and wondered if she really even needed to be there.
Kristin, Filipe and Sione felt betrayed by Ron and Mike even though at the last elimination they voted to keep Filipe. They believe they are going back on their original alliance.
Ron was taken to the hospital after having chest pains. He was losing a lot of blood, and the doctors were unsure why. They completed a procedure that determined he had a bleeding ulcer from his gastric-bypass surgery. He was put on medication and sent back to the ranch.
Michelle Aguilar, last season’s winner, hosted the challenge. The players had to balance on a platform six feet above water holding on to a rope with only one hand. The ropes were held up with 40 ropes, but the ropes were cut as time passed.
Mike was the first to fall, followed by Filipe, Laura, Tara, Helen and Nicole. Sione and Kristin battled for a while, but Kristin fell first. Sione won a one-pound advantage.
Ali Sweeney returned for the weigh in. Nicole weighed in first and gained five pounds. Because she gained, her immunity was taken away. Laura also gained one pound.
Kristin and Filipe each lost four pounds. Tara, Helen and Sione each lost six pounds.
Mike lost 11 pounds, but Ron gained three pounds. This put Ron below the yellow line with Nicole.
Nicole told the players they should remember all of the “welcoming things” they said to her when she returned when they think about who to eliminate. Ron just asked to be saved, but Mike stepped up to remind everyone how much his father tries and how much he still needs to be at the ranch.
At the elimination Nicole was voted out. When she went home she went back to the bridal salon where she bought her original size 24 wedding dress to find a new wedding dress in a size 12.
