With the absence of Blaine who went home this week to see his new baby, Dane takes some time out to help Dan in the kitchen. Although Dan was lucky to have won the Pop-Challenge, it seems he struggles with cooking himself. When he has trouble cutting some butternut squash, Dane comes over and does the honors, only to make a joke out of it singing, "Give me a break, give me a break, break me off a piece of butter nut squash." Another first for Dan this week, he learns how to skip! After doing some football drills and sprints outside, Jillian teaches Dan how to skip, something he had never really attempted before. During the week, there are other kinds of singing and dancing going on as well, like when Filipe does a cultural Tongan song and dance for some of the Biggest Loser crew. The crew is so amazed at this that they ask him to do it over and over again.
Blaine returns as the father of a new 8-pound, healthy baby boy. However, he still has his work cut out for him at the ranch, and while Blaine can say, "I wish my wife's weight loss this week counted for me," wishes don't always come true. Thus, he is back at the ranch for some of Jillian's amazing workouts, leaving him to say afterwards, "It's like the marathon day of Jillian workouts." Apparently the workouts on Bob's side of the gym were just as strenuous since when Kristin asks Mike if he had any favorite exercises this week, Mike states he had one, "When he made us take the 20-pound weights and squat with a lot of reps." But sure enough there is a reason that was his favorite exercise, as Kristin quickly responds in laughter, "Yeah, because that was the easiest thing to do... it was a vacation from the lunges."
The day of the weigh-in, Filipe and Blaine pass their time playing dominos, as Joelle and Dane intently watch. Others such as Tara and Mandy spend the afternoon putting nail polish on one another's toes, trying to calm themselves on such a nerve-racking day. Meanwhile, others like Mike and Kristin take a different approach by being comical. First, Kristin tells Mike hat she has a magical ring that helps her win weigh-ins and then goes on to try and convince him to wear a dress at the weigh-in, as she says "If you fall below the yellow line, I will not vote you home if you promise to wear a brown dress... you will look so good in it!" Although it is a tempting offer, Mike chooses not to accept and sticks with his brown Biggest Loser t-shirt. Perhaps that is his good luck charm, since the Brown team was not sent home this week.
