The Biggest Loser 13, Episode 13: Thousand-Dollar Pounds

Kim drops from 171 to 164 for a loss of seven pounds and a gain of seven grand. She's so excited to see a seven, especially at this point in the game, since it shows hard work pays off. Kim's percentage is 4.09%.

Mark is next. He feels confident, but not cocky or arrogant. It's time to show his work is paying off. Last week Mark nearly broke the 200-pound barrier, and all week breaking through it has been on his mind. Time to see how he did. Mark drops from 200 pounds to… 200 pounds, for a loss of, let me check, zero. Mark says that when the number stopped, he couldn't believe it. He says it is humbling and frustrating. On the scale, Mark asks why he tried, which Dolvett doesn't let go. Dolvett says Mark tries because he is getting healthier and Dolvett is proud of him no matter what. Since Mark has a one pound advantage, his total loss is 0.58%.

Buddy is next, dropping from 275 to 269 for a loss of six. He isn't happy, saying he felt like he needed to pull an eight. Buddy says his knee injury has still been hurting him and he's in danger of falling below the yellow line with Mark. Buddy is at 2.18%.

Fourth is Conda. She needs to have lost at least five pounds. Conda drops from 217 to 210 for a loss of seven. Conda smirks and says she'll lose at least 100 pounds here. Conda is at 3.23%.

Jeremy goes up fifth. He needs five pounds for safety. Jeremy drops from 266 to 260 for a loss of six. He says he wanted more, but anything to keep him safe is good. Jeremy is at 2.26%.

Now Chris goes up. Chris is at 204 pounds and needs to have lost more than three. Chris says she's petrified that she didn't lose more then three. Chris drops from 174 to 170 for a loss of four. Chris says she did it by the skin of her teeth but she did it. Alison asks what Chris needs to work on and Chris says her tendency to doubt herself. Bob tells her to remember that when it happens again (which it will), to not doubt herself. This is the lesson she learned from Antone and she should thank him. Chris agrees and says she holds no ill will towards Antone. Chris loses 2.30%, knocking Mark below the yellow line.

Megan heads up last. She's nervous since everyone is expecting her to pull a big number and all this stress isn't good for her. Megan is at 195 pounds and needs to lose at least five. Megan drops from 195 to 191 for a loss of four and (barring Mark quitting) what is certain to be a quick vote out.

Megan begins to cry, saying she thought she worked hard but it is what it is. Bob says that this feeds the little devil in Megan's head telling her she isn't good enough. Still crying, Megan agrees and says she won't let that little devil tell her this anymore. Megan says that this week she tapped into those issues she has of self-doubt and that she's still got a long way to go.

Megan lost 2.05% so both she and Mark will be facing elimination. Kim is again the Biggest Loser of the night. Megan says that she's already below the yellow line, but she's below it with Mark. Mark's a strong competitor and she is not.

We head straight into the Elimination Room. Mark says this week he lost zero pounds but every week he's worked very hard. He deserves to be here. Megan however thinks she tapped into something this week and she deserves to stay instead.

Jeremy votes first. He rambles about how everyone here is a friend and it's not about who is weak or strong anymore. Jeremy votes for Megan to leave. Conda says she couldn't vote on personal feelings and instead on work to this point. Conda voted for Megan.

Chris goes third. She says that once again she's faced with a father who has a tendency to find distractions when he gets home. Chris voted for Megan. Megan says she'll be okay and going home will ultimately be better for her. We'll see about that, because with three votes (at least), Megan is gone. They hug and the last Purple fridge goes out.

Megan says she's come so far from the person she was when she first arrived. Megan says she has more confidence in her athletic abilities and there are so many things she never realized she was capable of. She says she's so proud of where she is now and while she isn't done yet, she's got the tools to get where she needs to be.

In Megan's At-Home segment, we learn Megan is at 189 pounds. Megan says her major motivator was missing horseback riding. We see Megan going to ride her horse. She can't believe she's racing right now and tells Bob she's doing it. We see Megan's boyfriend Michael, who has proposed to her (and is now her fiancé). The two of them head off to sponsor gym and we learn Megan inspired Michael to the point that he's lost 80 pounds. So wait, he lost more then Megan, in less time, without a trainer?

We see Megan looking for a wedding dress. She says before the show she could only fit into a size 20 and now she can fit into a size 12. Kimmy says it's amazing how happy Megan is now. Megan says the her before The Biggest Loser was afraid to do things. She isn't anymore. Megan plans to get married by 2013 and wants Conda to be her bridesmaid. Why?

Next week is Makeover Week. Oh, and they're going to the White House to reveal their new looks, where Michelle Obama will meet them. So the walkout (if it does happen) isn't next week. To bad, I was hoping it would happen before Conda got to Makeover Week.
