Most importantly, Black vs. Blue is over and the contestants are into individuals. This is a huge milestone on the Biggest Loser journey and the contestants should be extremely proud to have made it this far.<\/p>\n<p>The second cool thing this week was that the contestants traveled to <a title=\"biggest loser washington dc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/videos\/biggest-loser-in-washington-d.c.\/\" target=\"_self\">Washington, D.C.<\/a> for the week.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"295\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/n5DQtZcM53I&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"295\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/n5DQtZcM53I&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><a title=\"biggest loser washington dc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/11\/mike-morellis-biggest-loser-recap-episode-8-8\/\" target=\"_self\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13776\" title=\"Biggest Loser washington dc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/Biggest-Loser-washington-dc.jpg\" alt=\"Biggest Loser washington dc\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a>The challenges were Capital inspired.  The contestants had a pop challenge trying to get as many people to do a public workout as possible. <a title=\"liz young biggest loser\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/08\/biggest-loser-8-liz-young\/\" target=\"_self\"> Liz<\/a> won a mystery prize (always fun) to be used in the later challenge.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s challenge was a series of mini challenges.  Now, I have to admit that I lost a little love for Biggest Loser when Miley Cyrus was being played as the background music, but whatever, it&#8217;s not my show to run.  In the end, <a title=\"rebecca biggest loser\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/08\/biggest-loser-8-rebecca-meyer\/\" target=\"_self\">Rebecca<\/a> won immunity.<\/p>\n<p>Bob, Jillian, and the gang all headed to the White House for a very special tour. They picked vegetables from the First Family&#8217;s garden and made a salad in the White House kitchen (try the <a title=\"biggest loser white house salad\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/recipes\/biggest-loser-white-house-salad\/\" target=\"_self\">White House Salad recipe<\/a>).  I was jealous, I didn&#8217;t get a trip, not fair.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"jillian michaels\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diets\/Jillian_Michaels\/\" target=\"_self\">Jillian<\/a> gets the quote of the week expressing her hatred for <a title=\"tracey yukich\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/08\/biggest-loser-8-tracey-yukich\/\" target=\"_self\">Tracey<\/a>, while Tracey gets oblivious of the week for thinking Jillian likes her.<a title=\"biggest loser white house salad\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/recipes\/biggest-loser-white-house-salad\/\" target=\"_self\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-13777\" title=\"biggest loser white house salad\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/biggest-loser-white-house-salad.jpg\" alt=\"biggest loser white house salad\" width=\"290\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"bob harper\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diets\/Bob_Harper\/\" target=\"_self\">Bob<\/a> was happy to have <a title=\"amanda arlauskas\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/08\/biggest-loser-8-amanda-arlauskas\/\" target=\"_self\">Amanda<\/a> back under his wing, and it showed on the scale that Amanda was glad to be there.  Which is a perfect transition into the lovely 50-minute weigh in&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>The contestants are weighing in for the first time alone.  The most notable weight losses were <a title=\"danny biggest loser\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/08\/biggest-loser-8-danny-cahill\/\" target=\"_self\">Danny<\/a>, with a double digit, Amanda with her highest weight loss ever, and Tracey and Liz with merely three pounds lost, putting them below the yellow line.<\/p>\n<p>In the end Tracey was sent home (shocker to all of you I&#8217;m sure), but personally I liked her.  She is doing fantastic at home and is a big competitor for the at-home winner.<\/p>\n<p>I know next week is a huge episode, so hold on to your hats folks!  Until next week BLers-or if you run into me at school- best in health.<br \/>\n-Mike Morelli<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot of cool things happened this week on The Biggest Loser.
