How bad do you want to control the game? The contestants walked into a room full of sweets: Doughnuts, brownies, peanut butter cups galore.  The contestant that eats the most calories, wins the challenge. The winner of the challenge chooses the players on teams. That’s right; there are now two teams: the black team (Jillian) and the blue team (Bob). The winner also chooses their trainer. This challenge was interesting because it was done in dark.  So the contestants could not see what the other players were doing.  Heba tried to take control, and informs everyone she will keep the teams the same, as long as she can have control and her choice of trainer.  That sends the room into an uproar, but meanwhile, Phil is sneaking food, and Heba catches him! It was hilarious to watch the power struggle. Because of Heba’s dislike for Phil, it affected the outcome of the teams.  Because naturally, Heba won the temptation.  

Here are the new teams:

Bob’s Team

• Heba
• Vicky
• Amy C.
• Brady
• Amy P.
  
  

Jillian’s Team

• Renee
• Coleen
• Michelle
• Phil
• Shellay
  

Physical Challenge

The contestants trekked up and down a hill, from sunrise to sunset.  Everytime they went up the hill they took a picture, and every time they reached the bottom, they took a picture.  They received 1 point for every member who took picture, and an extra point if they took a picture as a team.  The winner of this challenge received a two-pound pass. The black team won the challenge.
