"Too long a sacrifice/ Can make a stone of the heart." The poet William Butler Yates wrote these words. On the new 'Biggest Loser,' we witnessed some different ideas of sacrifice. And in the end, we saw some tears. Welcome to the Final Four.On tonight's episode (Tue., 9PM ET on NBC), the last four players went home to see their families. All season long, we have heard stories about Ada Wong's cruel treatment at the hands of her parents. She was the only 'Loser' who didn't get a video message, or have her family come to see her -- but that barely scratches the surface of the problems Ada has faced. Her parents have also blamed her for the death of her baby brother -- who drowned while swimming in a kiddie pool.
Ada was just a child at the time, but was present at the event. Ms. Wong's parents have said they wished she had died in her sibling's place. As a result of this abuse, she turned to food for comfort -- and began gaining weight. Now, Ada returned home to confront her mother and father. "I just want them to be proud of me," she said. How did it go?
As we mentioned, there were tears. Ada's mom was genuinely regretful, saying this: "I didn't know you were so unhappy." At first, Mr. Wong was distant, stating that he hadn't been pleased when Ada was overweight. The father and the daughter had different ideas of what sacrifice meant. Ada felt that hiding her own emotions was the right thing to do. Meanwhile, her dad may have sacrificed a chance to bond with his daughter, based on his fear that Ada's appearance could negatively affect her life. In the end, though, he said this: "I love you very much. After you left, I thought about you all day long."
Elsewhere on the show, the remaining players took part in a marathon. Ada and Elizabeth Ruiz got the two lowest scores -- with only three spots available on the finale, one of them will be voted out. The show's viewers will have to decide who deserves it more.
