Season 7 begins by introducing the players, who will compete in pairs. Grandparents, best friends and former plus-size models are among the twosomes. The group also boasts the oldest contestants and the heaviest contestant in the show's history.

It’s one of the most eagerly-anticipated events every “Biggest Loser” season the makeover episode! And fashion guru Tim Gunn returns to help the final seven contestants look their stylish best after all the players get complete salon makeovers from guest hair stylist Tabatha (Bravo’s “Tabatha’s Salon Takeover”) and celebrity stylist Brandon Martinez. Then it’s time for amazing transformations and emotional reunions when the made-over contestants show off their incredible new looks to loved ones flown in to help them celebrate their big day. Also, the contestants soar to new heights in this week’s challenge, and one player is sidelined with an injury that will have a dramatic impact on her workouts. Alison Sweeney hosts the series, and trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.

The competition heats up when the eight remaining contestants are faced with a temptation that will give the winner all the power this week. The players come to the gym and find 100 trays before them, under which there are high calorie snacks, cash prizes and the golden ticket - the one and only vote at this week'’s elimination. They can uncover as many trays as they like, providing they eat whatever they uncover. Then Chef Rocco DiSpirito returns to teach the contestants how to make healthy, lower-calorie versions of the dishes they used to order in restaurants, and later, two familiar faces from last season give the players encouragement and advice. This week’s challenge finds the players running up and down the steps of the Pasadena Rose Bowl competing for an incredible vacation prize. And after the weigh-in, the temptation winner casts the sole vote to send another player home. Alison Sweeney hosts, and trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.

This week brings a shake-up no one sees coming when all of the contestants are divided into just two teams blue and black leaving many players without their original trainer. Drama ensues, especially with one team who struggles to get used to their new trainer. And contestants are put to the test with one of the longest challenges ever, in which each team tries to put as many miles as they can on their bike in a 24-hour period. Alison Sweeney hosts the series, and Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.

It'’s Super Bowl week on the Biggest Loser ranch, and that means food, football and fun with two special guest stars celebrity chef Curtis Stone and NFL MVP Kurt Warner. First, Stone tests the contestants’ calorie knowledge of traditional Super Bowl snacks, then teaches them how to make healthier versions. Later, one contestant has to leave the ranch for a very important arrival at home, while another surprises her teammates with a new change in attitude. Then it'’s time for the challenge, when Warner puts the contestants through an NFL-style drill that will give the winner an especially valuable prize this week. Then the partners who were sent home for 30 days while their teammates stayed on the ranch are welcomed back. But the reunion celebration is quickly followed by a tense weigh-in and elimination that will leave one team heading home. Alison Sweeney hosts, and trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.
