With a Little Help From My NFL Friends

On NBC’s The Biggest Loser Season 16 Episode 9 Thursday night, the star power was even higher as former NFL greats showed up to inspire and motivate.

Michael Irvin, Donald Driver and Willie McGinest, all pro football superstars and Super Bowl champions, came to the Ranch for a challenge and to offer advice.

What specifically did they tell the cast on The Biggest Loser Season 16 Episode 9?

Blake, first of all, is at Comeback Canyon and thrilled to get another show.

Meanwhile, the teams meet their NFL mentors for the week: Michael Irvin for Red, Donald Driver for White and Willie McGinest, Damien’s teammate, for Blue.

The stars toss footballs to contestants tied together with their trainers.

The winning team gets video chats from home, so the stakes were high as the Red team prevailed in this challenge. The calls were rather emotional.

 

At Comeback Canyon, Blake and Jackie both lost three pounds during the period before they ended up there, so this is anyone’s game and they’re going hard.

The NFL legends are pushing the contestants beyond belief, and they are responding. This is why you watch The Biggest Loser online. It’s intense.

Willie is so proud of Damien Woody right now, his friend. Scott Mitchell loves having the NFL legends here, feeling it will help him surpass expectations.

Michael Irvin tells Scott that no matter how much he feels he failed or let himself go, victory from here on out means being a better man than before.

Simple as that. It’s not what you did but who you are inside.

Scott literally gives Michael the shirt off his back, saying he wants Irvin to have a piece of his soul. Michael says he’ll frame it to carry with him, reciprocally.

At Comeback Canyon, Jackie easily bests Blake, 6-1.

At the Ranch, the White team is up first, with Rondalee down 7 pounds, JJ losing 4 pounds, Toma dropping 8 pounds, Woody shedding 3, and Sonya down 9.

For Blue, Lori is down 6 pounds and Damien 3.

The Red team needs 14 pounds to advance, and Scott contributes 6 pounds lost. Jordan has lost 5 pounds and finally, Rob has shed a whole 13 pounds.

Damien is eliminated … but after an emotional farewell, he pulls up to Comeback Canyon, where a chance to get back in the game awaits if he can best Jackie.

Back home, Blake still has such a great attitude.
