The Son Shall Rise Again (and Kick Some Brother Ass Next Week)

Biggest Losers decided to take on food issues this week.

Instead of the typical product placements (mmm, this Extra gum keeps me satisfied all day) the show actually had chef Rocco Dispirito judging the contestants' abilities to prepare tasty low-calorie versions of his recipes.

While turkey bacon-wrapped anything is never appealing, I think Paul's carrot and green pepper 'palm tree' revealed something truly sinister about the military (which is where he picked up his garnishing skills).

In true black team fashion, Gillian's crew (after two of the them admitted to consuming less than a 1000 calories a day) ate properly for the week and dropped huge numbers, sticking it to the blue team.

Meanwhile, the annoying brothers were sent to the judging table and, along with the footballers, decided to split up the mother/son team and send mama Jackie home. Her 21-year old son Dan was left in tears that will inevitably crystalize into shards of back-stabbing vengeance.

Mark and Jay, the brothers sharing one chromosome, better watch their butts next week, especially now that Mark has a stress fracture. Easy prey....
