A Fight Threatens the Black Team's Unity on 'The Biggest Loser' (VIDEO)

The battle of the ages continued in the second week of 'The Biggest Loser' (Tue., 8PM ET on NBC), but for the black team, it was a battle brewing from within. Maybe John got started with the alliances and gameplay a little early, but no matter what he was trying to accomplish, he got called out hard for calling Sunny dumb.To her credit, the schoolteacher took Bob's advice right away and called a team meeting after their workout to confront John about this so-called alliance and his hurtful words. The black team has been on a tear in this early part of the season, coming in first in every challenge and the first weigh-in. They don't need emotional baggage tearing them apart.
!!SPOILER ALERT!!
John was man enough to admit he was out of line and gave a sincere apology, which Sunny accepted. So the black team was able to keep strong and united ... at least for now. But it was enough to continue their dominance in the game, though they just barely won the pound-advantage challenge over the red team.
The blue team seems to have been written off by the other two, as if they're not even true contenders. As the oldest contestants, they're less of a physical threat, and even less of a threat on the scale.
The season wanted to see if age mattered, and at least so far it seems to quite a bit. They've come in last in every challenge and once again they faltered on the scale and lost the weigh-in. This time, Bonnie again had a paltry number on the scale, but she was overshadowed by Johnny actually gaining two pounds.
All week, he argued and made excuses, much like Debbie last week, and he discovered the same result for his lack of commitment. Luckily, after getting eliminated, he continued to lose weight at home, so it looks like the show has made a positive change for him.
