It takes a while, but with some assistance Arthur finally gets up off the floor. Bob takes him for a walk outside. They talk about how much weight Arthur has lost so far, and how far he has to go. Bob asks Arthur how he got to be over 600 pounds. Arthur says he was a real good athlete -- all-American football player, baseball player and wrestler. But then he stopped moving. And apparently ate a lot of cheeseburgers. And then one day he woke up and watched one of those shows where they fork lift people out of their houses, and realized that he was that guy. Losing another 300 pounds seems like an insurmountable task, and Bob says that it can mess with his head. What he needs to think about is what he needs to do today. Arthur is happy to know that Bob has his back, and that he's being trained by the best in the world.
Jillian, meanwhile, pulls up to the gym in a pickup truck and beeps. Bob wonders what fresh hell awaits. The very tired contestants walk over and learn that they have to push the truck with Bob bouncing in the truck bed. Jillian steers, and Bob notes that this is a great way to get a tour of the ranch. The contestants are too exhausted to complain. Inspirational music plays as they push the truck up a hill. To add to your at-home game: take a drink every time inspirational music plays!
And then it's weigh-in time, for the second time this episode. Take a drink every time someone steps on or off a giant scale! See, I am just trying to turn you all into alcoholics. The Jillian and Bob teams learn from Sami that the other Mystery Trainer teams have just weighed in. The team that lost the most weight, Rulon and Justin, lost 59 pounds. Moses himself lost 41 pounds, and then made some sort of inspirational speech. That's the most weight lost in one week by a contestant ever in the history of the show. Olivia and Hannah tell us that they were just hoping to lose more than one pound, and meanwhile someone got up there and lost a kindergartener or a bulldog. A fair bit of weight, in other words.
The Aqua Team is first to weigh in. Courtney goes from 323 pounds to 308, for a loss of 15 pounds, while Marci goes from 238 to 224 for a loss of 14. Time to treat yourself to a Blizzard, ladies. They've lost 5.17% total. The Blue Team is next on the scale. They need to have lost more than 41 pounds to best the Aqua Team. Arthur goes from 507 pounds to 476, for a loss of 31 pounds. He lets out a celebratory whoop before looking over to see that his dad is not whooping. Jesse has gone from 293 to 286 pounds, for a loss of 7. That's barely a newborn. Jesse worries that he's let his son down. They've lost 38 pounds or 4.75%. Next is the Green Team. They need to have lost more than 32 pounds to be guaranteed another week. Jen goes from 278 to 258, for a loss of 20 pounds, while Jay goes from 400 to 374, for a loss of 26 pounds. Whoa! That's 6.78%.
