Drea is up first for the Black Team. She goes from 238 to 232, for a loss of 6 pounds. Not bad! Stephanie is next up, and goes from 208 to 199 for a loss of 9 pounds! Whoa! Stephanie is thrilled at such a giant loss, and also thrilled to be below 200. Sami tells her that she's awesome. Maybe the Black Team has a chance after all! Ashley is next on the scale. She goes from 286 to 276, for a loss of 10! Woo! Sami is clearly delighted at this turn of events. Bob, less so. The Black Team is two pounds away from winning this weigh-in, and Sam is the only person left. He hopes he's lost at least a damn pound. I hope so, too, unless it means that Daris will go home. Sam goes from 278 to 264 for a loss of 14 pounds! Have that with a side of cupcakes. Koli is thrilled, even though this means that the Blue Team will head to the elimination room. Sam tells us that he's pretty sure he weighed 264 pounds in eighth grade. Koli has lost 110 pounds in his 10 weeks on the show, which is pretty darn impressive. The Black Team has lost 39 pounds total, or 3.86%. Well done!
It's all bad news for the Blue Team, though. Except for Sunshine! She had the highest percentage of weight lost and thus has immunity. Everyone else is fair game. The members of the Blue Team talk, and Koli tells Mike that since he's the heaviest team member, he needs to carry the biggest loss. Mike starts crying. He says that everyone else in the house is under 300, and he still weighs 400 pounds. He feels so far away. He tells his teammates that he's there to save his life, and asks them to keep him in the house. It's a matter of life and death.
With that, the Blue Team is in the elimination room. Koli talks football, and says that doubt destroys a team. He votes for Lance. Interesting! Michael says the word "guillotine" with a hard "l" sound, to very dramatic effect. He also votes for Lance. Interesting, again! Michael says, "I really do love you, bro," which reminds me how much I hate it when dudes call each other "bro." Lance votes for Michael, because life and death means nothing to him. With sadness, O'Neal votes for Lance. Only one more vote is needed to send Lance home. Daris is next, and he has written a speech! He says, "I know you can do this at home, because you just proved that. And this is no disrespect at all. You've been a good friend here, and you'll be a good friend in the future. This is for the strength of the team, but there's probably a little strategy in this too, because you're a huge competitor." Daris adds that he has to do what keeps him there, which is to eliminate Lance. Daris is totally bawling, because his heart is as big as his curls.
