This week kicks off with a temptation that host Alison Sweeney tells the contestants will allow one player to reunite with their teammate at home and bring their trainer with them. But the reunion doesn’t go exactly as planned when fireworks erupt between the two teammates after one player accuses the other of not doing all she can to stay on the ranch. Meanwhile the contestants check in with Dr. Huizenga to see how far they’ve come and how many medications they no longer need from the first three weeks of weight loss. Then a wild jump rope-like challenge results in immunity at this week’s weigh in for the winner, followed by a surprising elimination that sends another contestant packing. Trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.

This week, the tables are turned when contestants get to train their trainers and are only too happy to put Bob and Jillian through the paces! Later, the remaining five players have to race up and down hills while carrying bags representing their total weight loss so far in a particularly grueling challenge. Then it'’s time to visit Dr. Huizenga for a progress report and to find out their new “real ages” now that they'’ve lost so much weight. The players also try on their “goal outfits” and are amazed to see how far they'’ve really come. Then after weighing in and eliminating one more contestant, the final four players head home, where they'’ll stay for 30 days before returning to weigh in at the ranch one last time. Alison Sweeney hosts the series, and trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.

The players encounter temptation, forcing them to assess why they've come to the ranch. Later, they compete in a race for immunity and a phone call home, and Bob clashes with a contestant during the last-chance workouts.

Now that the contestants’ partners are back at the ranch, those who’ve been working out at home will weigh in and see how they have fared away from the ranch. Then all the players compete in this week’s “rope challenge,” and later, an elimination leads to tension on one team when one player thinks her partner hasn’t been pulling her weight. Alison Sweeney hosts, and Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.

This week, the black and blue teams head to the beach to square off in a wild challenge that sends them digging for a buried treasure. The winning team will get a huge prize - tickets home to see their loved ones - but there'’s also a surprise twist! One team of contestants goes home for emotional reunions with loved ones, but is quickly faced with the challenges of continuing to eat healthy and work out back in their everyday lives. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the other team is determined to make the most of their time alone on campus in the hopes they can lose more weight than their opposing team. Also, contestants lend a hand at a food bank this week, and one contestant has an emotional breakthrough with trainer Jillian Michaels. And the team who made the most weight loss progress is revealed at the weigh-in before another player is sent packing. Alison Sweeney hosts the series, and trainer Bob Harper also stars.
