TV IN HIGH HEELS: NBC’S STRONG RECAP FOR MAY 12, 2016
Hello and welcome to Strong on NBC. Tonight our teams will continue to fight for the win and $500,000, but most importantly to become the best they can be. As always, we open with pep talks and training.
For me, the best part about this show is seeing the progress of these women and how their lives are changing before our very eyes. Brittany’s story is incredibly amazing, especially with her issues with her parents and then becoming a teen mom. It is amazing how she raised her son, went back to school and went on to get her degree.
Challenge: They have to do a punching bag challenge, where they have to punch and kick it across the given area. Jill and Bennie complete it, but at the end, she passes out.
The purple team takes the lead by finishing in 3:50 minutes, but the grey team ends up winning. The yellow and blue teams are in the bottom two, so they now must complete the challenge again to avoid the elimination tower.
At the end, it is the yellow team who loses and heads to the elimination tower. The grey team has to choose who will join them.
The lime team volunteers for the elimination tower, which shocks everyone. Mahogany is injured, and everyone is shocked that she is still willing to take on the challenge.This leads to everyone saying a decision hasn’t even been made and arguing over whether or not she is making the right decision.
She later reveals how much she is struggling here and at home. I can relate to her so much right now. I know exactly how she feels because I am right where she is now. I love how her trainer Dan tells her it will be okay and she will go home stronger than ever.
The grey team decides to choose the lime team, so they go to the obstacle course with the yellow team. It has been modified to accommodate Mahogany’s injury.
It is a close call, but an amazing race. Mahogany keeps falling, so Dan helps her through by carrying her. However, it isn’t enough and the yellow team ends up winning.
The lime team is eliminated and give their medallions to the purple team and the grey team.
At her update, she is more confident and beautiful inside and out.
Join us next week for more Strong! Goodnight!
