During Week 19 of the popular NBC hit reality show The Biggest Loser Couples 4, the Final Five lost one of their own, with another contestant heading home after the Tuesday, May 10, 2011 weigh-in.
Last week Olivia, Hannah, Jay, Irene and Austin were fluffed and buffed during the popular makeover episode. In a surprise twist, none of the remaining competitors was eliminated at the end of the episode.
Unfortunately this week it was business as usual and only four of the players went on to make the coveted Final Four.
The contestants were competing for $10,000 with a series of five final exams involving physical tasks, mentoring skills, teaching skills and a multiple choice oral exam. Sisters Olivia and Hannah were within 3 points of each other … with Olivia winning the monetary prize.
Next week two contestants will fall below the yellow line and America will vote to see which one will compete for the top prize of $250,000 at the finale on May 24, 2011. The other player will join the other 23 contestants to vie for the secondary prize of $100,000.
During Tuesday night’s weigh-in, Irene and Olivia lost 5 pounds, Hannah dropped, 4, Jay lost an amazing 9 pounds, and Austin lost just 1 pound.
Voted off this week was Austin Andrews, 21, of Pasadena, California.
