The Biggest Loser – Season 14 Episode 10 – Video Recap – Makeover

By Amy Hyun ·

The recap of The Biggest Loser – Season 14 Episode 10 – Makeover:

The Makeovers:

Our favorite fashion consultant, Tim Gunn, has returned home to The Biggest Loser! (Jeannie Mai covered for him during Seasons 12 & 13). Beauty Expert Ken Paves assisted the contestants as well as the kid ambassadors with their hair and makeup this week.

Tim Gunn chose stunning outfits for the contestants & kid ambassadors, and Ken Paves perfectly styled their hair and makeup. Ken also re-iterated my sentiments about The Biggest Loser: “I really feel like this is a show with a conscience.” Unlike other reality shows, this show actually makes me cry.

Danni looked so pretty in her new outfit, and Jeff looked like a stud! (By the way, Francelina is a lucky girl. She grabbed a good-looking guy).

A Makeover for an Eliminated Contestant:

Alex—who was eliminated last week—has already lost 75 pounds at home. Congrats Alex! Keep up the great work!

The Challenges:

  1. To be surrounded by unhealthy food while they dine inside restaurants with their friends and family.
  2. To lose 5% of their current weight in exchange for immunity.
  3. To challenge America (The contestants conducted workout sessions with their neighbors, friends, and family).
  • Jeff needed to lose 15 pounds
  • Joe needed to lose 14 pounds
  • Danni needed to lose 10 pounds
  • Jackson needed to lose 13 pounds
  • Gina needed to lose 9 pounds
  • Danni invited her father and Season 11 winner Olivia to her “Challenge America” class
  • Gina invited her husband and Season 11 contestant Marci to her class
  • Jeff invited his best friends to his class
  • Joe invited his twin brother to his class
  • Jackson invited his mother to his class
Ali didn’t ask the kid ambassadors (Sunny, Lindsay, & Biingo) to lose a certain amount of weight. The kids are actually classified as “participants,” not “contestants.”

A Shocking Revelation:

Sunny—one of the kid ambassadors this season—revealed a dark, hidden secret: Prior to being cast on The Biggest Loser, she tried purging; but fortunately, this didn’t result in an eating disorder.

The Contestants Return to the Ranch for the Weigh-in:

For the contestants to be immune from elimination, they must each lose at least 5% of their body weight. (The contestants spent the last two weeks at home).
  • Danni – Previous Weight: 184; Current Weight: 174; Pounds Lost: -10, 5.43%
  • Jackson – Previous Weight: 250; Current Weight: 235; Pounds Lost: -15, 6.00%
  • Joe – Previous Weight: 261; Current Weight: 244; Pounds Lost: -17, 6.51%
  • Jeff – Previous Weight: 295; Current Weight: 276; Pounds Lost: -19, 6.44%
  • Gina – Previous Weight: 173; Current Weight: 163; Pounds Lost: -10, 5.78%
Result: Each contestant received immunity because they all lost at least 5% of their previous body weight.

There are only two episodes left in the season. Season 14 of The Biggest Loser is right up there with my all-time favorite seasons (5, 7, 9, and 11). :)

I'll be posting a video recap later tonight, so look out for that! Thanks for reading this recap of "Makeover"!
