Biggest Loser 2013 Live Recap: Premiere – Second Chances Begin

NBC seemed to delay the premiere of The Biggest Loser 2013 a week and who knows why, but we finally get to meet the new cast of The Biggest Loser Season 15 as they all start their journey of second chances on Biggest Loser 2013! Jillian Michaels, Dolvett Quince and Bob Harper all return to The Biggest Loser 15 and Allison Sweeney is back as host, so let’s get things started! Follow along with our Biggest Loser 2013 Live Recap and see who got eliminated on The Biggest Loser 2013 tonight with us!

The big news on Biggest Loser 2013 is for the first time in the show’s history is they have a celebrity contestant, sort of. Ruben Studdard, who won Season 2 of American Idol, is now taking a stab at another reality show. He may have won Idol, but he is going to have a tougher time with this competition and shedding weight for his 462-pound body! He comes into the competition being the heaviest contestant of the season!

Besides that, we also get to see the trainers have some more power. Besides being able to sit-in on the casting calls and helping decide the final 15 contestants for The Biggest Loser 2013, the trainers will also get one save each to use throughout the season on one contestant that has been eliminated, but they feel deserves a Second Chance, the theme of The Biggest Loser Season 15!

WARNING: THE BIGGEST LOSER 2013 SPOILERS AHEAD!

Don’t want to know what happened on our Biggest Loser 2013 Live Recap or see who went home on The Biggest Loser Season 15 tonight? Then don’t look ahead!!!

****************************************************************

Here we go…the trainers chose who made the final 15 contestants, which is a first in the show’s history. We take a look at the casting calls and they brought 50 finalists to L.A. They are so emotional and it shows what we have been missing!

The final 15 have been chosen and they have arrived at the ranch! We meet David, who watched his wife lose a ten-year battle to cancer and now wants to be there for his daughters. We then meet Ruben Studdard. Rachel used to be a national level swimmer and had a bright future, but gave it up for a boy and she lost control of her life and she wants a second chance on her life. Tanya has a crush on Dolvett and it is funny because she told him!

The trainers will be picking their teams on Biggest Loser 2013, but first we get to see them workout with the trainers! These workouts always kill me and seeing them struggle so hard. No puking yet, but when will it come? Yup, there is comes and everyone is a hot mess right now on Biggest Loser 15. The trainers are sizing up the contestants and who they want on their team. Holley is a weight lifter right now and Bob wants her. Dolvett thinks Rachel is one to watch out for and she is an athlete. Jay was a rodeo athlete and now he sits on the gym floor and is cramping up!

David is struggling on the treadmill and wants to give up, but Jillian is not having any of it. She tells him he is not working hard enough and he is going to go home! He walks out and Jillian comes out to talk to him, but he sits there in silence. She sends him back to the house and doesn’t want the gym to be part of him playing victim!

The workout is done and time for ice baths and time to see Ruben and his back hair! Jillian said he must be waxed and he has it on his shoulders!!! He said he is a real man and is bringing it back. What do you think?

The next day arrives and time to find out who is on what team:

• White (Jillian) – Craig, Tumi, Jay, Fernanda and Marie
• Blue (Bob) – Holley, Chelsea, Bobby, Matt and Hap
• Red (Dolvett) – Ruben, Jennifer, Rachel, Tanya and David

The teams separate and get to their workout, but first Dolvett sits down with Ruben. He said he has the desire to be the greatest singer in the world and doesn’t want to leave this world and not be at that level. Speaking with him gives me some respect for Ruben and what he wants out of this on The Biggest Loser 2013.

Bob is working with the Blue Team and feels Bobby and Matt are the wild cards and not sure what they have to offer. For the Red Team, Dolvett tells David he believes in him when no one else does. He comes out strong for this second workout. Chelsea is working that run with the Blue Team. Jillian is liking her team and maybe more than any team she has ever had, which is a lot to say since she loved Danni Allen last season on her team!

Things are moving along quickly, as we are at the first weigh-in on Biggest Loser 2013 and it is a Red Line, which means the person on the lowest team with the lowest weight loss percentage is heading home with no vote, unless their trainer decides to use their save on them during the premiere!

Blue Team is first: Holley is down 16 pounds; Hap is down 17 pounds; Chelsea is down 12 pounds; Matt is down 23 pounds and Bobby is down 20 pounds! They are down a total of 88 pounds and 5.15%!

Red Team: Ruben is down 21 pounds; Jennifer is down 11 pounds; Tanya is down 16 pounds; Rachel is down 21 pounds and David is down 38 pounds!!! He says it is a good first step, but that is absolutely amazing!!! They are down a total of 107 pounds and 6.45%, so they are safe tonight on The Biggest Loser Season 15.

White Team: Tumi is down 14 pounds; Fernanda is down 12 pounds; Marie is down 9 pounds; Jay is down 23 pounds and Craig is down 13 pounds. They lost a total of 71 pounds and 4.73%. That means the White Team has lost the weigh-in and Craig fell below the Red Line. Jillian lost most of the first few weigh-ins last season and here we go again on The Biggest Loser Season 15?

Jillian is asked to use her Trainer Save and she does use it, so there is no elimination tonight on Biggest Loser 2013! Should she have used the save?
