"The Biggest Loser" 3/27

Pop Challenge: They need to load 150 boxes of food onto a truck- half of them weigh 15 lbs. each, while the other half weigh 20 apiece. The winner (after their flag's pulled down) will have 30,749 (that's how many pounds have ever been lost on the U.S. version of this program) lbs. of food donated to the winner's hometown food bank courtesy of Newman's Own, as well as a one-pound advantage for him/herself; however, everyone who finishes will at least have a truckload of groceries delivered to their hometown.

Buddy's still MEDICALLY INELIGIBLE for most of these challenges.

WINNER- Mark

Jared Fogle eats SUBWAY w/ the cast.

Main Challenge: At the Fields Market, they have to shop for groceries & come up w/ a recipe for a dish in seven minutes. Then, back at the ranch, they have 20 min. to make their dishes that will be judged on taste, creativity & nutritional value by three "Loser" contestants from last season- Antone Davis (runner-up), Becky Comet (one of the last two players eliminated before last season's finals) & Ramon Medeiros (3rd place). The winner will be paid $1K for every pound they lose this week.
