The Biggest Loser airs a new episode tonight January 14, 2013 called ‘Cut the Junk’. Below is a live show recap and blog of elimination results.
LIVE SHOW RECAP:
Alison takes the contestants to a room with soda and vending machines and tells them the best way to test Childhood obesity is knowledge. That means, there’s a quiz! The losing team will spend 4 1/2 hrs a day in the room and not working out.
Blue Team loses! They now will be stuck in the room for 4 1/2 hours a day with no trainer–just lots of junk food. Jeff is scared that this will spell his doom.
The Blue Team is stuck in the junk food room. Bob comes to the gym looking for his people and is told by Jillian about the situation.
The White Team is hard at work with Jillian. Bob goes to the junk room and is shocked! He tells his team he has confidence they can pull through.
Bob sends a Childhood Obesity specialist to the 3 kids who are on the show. Dr. Joanna Dolgoff will go to each of the children’s home so she can work with them on their nutritional habits.
The Blue Team is finally out of their dungeon and feeling very sluggish.
All teams head to the challenge and it is a carnival setting. They must each take 20 gumballs through a gumball pit. The members on the winning team each get a free year of groceries.
The Red Team wins the challenge.

WHO IS ELIMINATED TONIGHT?
CATE IS ELIMINATED TONIGHT
The Blue Team did a great job resisting the temptations of the junk food room, and I can only imagine what a detriment such a place would be for a kid that doesn’t have the willpower to resist those temptations. I was talking to a coworker at DISH who was really surprised by how just sitting around for that long sapped the motivation to work out from the Blue team. I missed the show on Monday because I watched The Bachelor instead, but fortunately I was able to catch up with PrimeTime Anytime. I love how my DISH Hopper records everything on the four major networks during primetime and saves it for 8 days, so I never miss anything! I am really glad that I caught it because I would have been shocked to come back to a triple elimination show like we are going to have next week.
