Christine was just about ready to throw in the towel this week on "Biggest Loser."
By Ree Hines
Another week meant another quitter on "The Biggest Loser" -- almost.
In week one, there was Ben, who asked the black team to send him home so he could be with his family. In week three, homesick Joe bailed on the black team without even waiting for a vote. And in week four, Team Black came very close to a three-peat when Christine caught the latest case of the quits.
It all began after Dolvett Quince's red team aced the weekly challenge. Well they "aced it" by getting two out of five nutrition-related questions correct, while Bob Harper's bunch failed to even get one right. The win meant the reds would have access to the gym. Bob's team? They'd have a chance to prove they don't need the gym to lose weight.
After the match, Roy, aka Santa, cheered the win. But his defeated wife, Christine, didn't exactly make for a supportive Mrs. Claus.
She called Roy a "sore winner," and frankly, that was the nicest thing she said to him during the episode.
The next time viewers got a gander at Christine, she grumbled through her room and demanded the cameras stop filming her. Of course, that's not how it works on a reality TV competition, so Christine went to the one place the cameras wouldn't follow.
"Christine's taken herself hostage in the bathroom," Conda said, summing up the awkward situation.
Roy played the part of hostage negotiator and learned that Christine wanted to quit the game. When he attempted to talk her out of it, she told him to "(Bleep) off."
"I'm going to do what the (bleep) I want to do," she ranted. "I just want to be left alone right now. That's all I want. I just want to be left alone. Just go!"
Meanwhile the rest of the house debated whether they wanted to try to talk her into staying or just let her wallow in her personal pity party. Seeing as how the black team could hardly afford to lose another member so soon, Bob came in to save the day.
Christine went on about all of the "(bleep) in the house" and how hard the experience was, and the veteran trainer reminded her that it's meant to be hard -- that's kind of the point.
Eventually, she decided to rededicate herself to the game.
While no else stole the spotlight of negativity quite like Christine, tensions were high all over the ranch. For the second week in a row, Bob seemed at his wit's end when it came to dealing with pokey player Gail. And Dolvett and the oft-argumentative Conda continued to butt heads.
Of course, tensions always mount on the scale. This week Bob's team dropped big numbers -- big enough to prove that no gym is no excuse. But the pounds lost weren't enough to best Dolvett's reds or to keep the black team?from making their second visit to the elimination room this season.
Once there, the votes were revealed one by one, and it was soon clear that they were torn between sending Gail home, due to her sluggish performance and physical limitations, and sending Christine home, due to her whiney, quitter outburst. In the end, with just one vote in her favor, Christine got a second chance to get her head in the game. Lucky lady.
Gail, on the other hand, got a one-way ticket home.
Do you think the black team sent the right contestant packing? Was it time for Gail to go, or did Christine deserve the boot after all of that quitter talk? Share your thoughts on our Facebook page.
