Oklahoman coming up big on ‘The Biggest Loser’
For Broken Arrow resident Danny Cahill, Week 6 on “The Biggest Loser” was rewarding, Week 7 was about survival and Week 8 will include a visit to the White House.
Week 6 Recap
Although Danny and the black team did not win the digging challenge, the blue team passed on the reward. So Danny and his teammates got to go home for a few days.
And although the opponents thought that everybody would lose less weight at home, Danny ended up dropping the most — 15 pounds for the week, taking him down to 357.
The Black team as a whole did come up short at the weigh-in, though, and had to send somebody home. But it wasn’t Danny, who had the biggest percentage of weight loss and was safe. It was Dina, the other “outsider” on the black squad.
Week 7 Recap
Did everyone see the photo of Danny in high school? He was a member of the Midwest City Bombers football team that took state in 1985. Oklahoma State University head football coach Mike Gundy quarterbacked that ‘85 championship squad, and Danny threw a key block as a back-up offensive guard to help get the Bombers in the state playoffs.
Danny also came through for the black team, scoring the team’s only point in the week’s face-off challenge. But if Shay lost more, he figured he would be eliminated from the show.
“I’m the odd man out in this team,” he said before Shay’s weigh-in. “It’s Danny vs. Shay at this point.”
Shay lost 9 pounds, but Danny dropped 12. So he was safe from elimination once again. Abby asked everyone to vote her out, and everybody but Danny wrote her name down. (Danny voted for Daniel for the second week in a row).
So unless the show goes back to the yellow line format that keeps those who lose the most weight for the week safe, Danny is in trouble. The other black team members — Daniel, Amanda and Shay — are buddies.
Week 8 Highlights
Danny and other other eight remaining contestants travel to Washington D.C., where they take part in a wild four-part competition involving iconic D.C. landmarks, pick vegetables from the White House kitchen garden and get to go inside the White House kitchen.
The week’s other highlight, especially for Danny, is the announcement by host Alison Sweeney that they’ll now be competing as individuals rather than as teams.
And tune in to the episode at 7 p.m. Tuesday (Nov. 3) to see trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels conduct the biggest workout in “Biggest Loser” history.
