"Cate was the unlucky Biggest Loser contestant to be sent home last week, but there&amp;#039;s no time for the other participants to cry over her departure! Just as they&amp;#039;re all taking it in, here comes Alison with the trainers. She&amp;#039;s got some big news - the trainers are going to be visiting the kids this week, so the teams will have to work all by themselves until the last chance workout! Everyone&amp;#039;s nervous - Michael thinks it&amp;#039;s a &amp;quot;recipe for disaster&amp;quot; - but we&amp;#039;ll have to see how things turn out! Before they go, the trainers catch up with their teams to give them some tips and homework to carry out while they&amp;#039;re away. Bob thinks everything will be fine as long as his team &amp;quot;do exactly what I say&amp;quot;. Yikes! He wants someone to be a leader each day, anyway. Dolvett urges his red team to work hard so they don&amp;#039;t have to lose another member, telling them all they need to be &amp;quot;warriors&amp;quot;. And Jillian gives her two remaining white team members a list of exercises to complete, adding that this is a good training exercise for when they go home... Hopefully they&amp;#039;ll do well!  The Trainers Surprise The Kids The three kids don&amp;#039;t know that the trainers are showing up - surprise! Bob&amp;#039;s off to visit Biingo, Dolvett&amp;#039;s going to see Lindsay, and Jillian is travelling to see how Sunny is doing.  Biingo After surprising Biingo during a family dinner, Bob is impressed to learn that his mom has been working hard to lose weight too - in fact, she&amp;#039;s dropped 27lb! Bob goes to visit Biingo&amp;#039;s home, and discovers that they&amp;#039;ve had a tough time during the recession, which ended with them living in the basement of Biingo&amp;#039;s uncle (it&amp;#039;s been done up to make an apartment). Biingo&amp;#039;s mom thinks that this could have been one of the reasons he put on weight. But Bob continues to be impressed as he discovers a lack of junk food in the fridge (and Biingo feels &amp;quot;proud&amp;quot; that none of it is there). Bob&amp;#039;s also pleased to learn that the family have cut down on meals out, and is taken with their fighting spirit. Bob also has a surprise for Biingo - which turns out to be a good one! He takes him to the local baseball field and introduces him to Frederick Keys pitcher Brandon Erbe. Then Bob becomes amusingly ignored as Biingo and Brandon spend the afternoon playing ball together. This is great for Biingo, who loves baseball, and Bob explains that kids should be exercising in fun ways. Plus, Brandon can relate to Biingo&amp;#039;s foot injury since his shoulder was hurt. Biingo seems to have a good time, anyway, describing it as &amp;quot;awesome&amp;quot;!  Lindsay Dolvett surprises Lindsay at school, likely making her very popular. He goes to meet her mom and sister, and is impressed to discover that they&amp;#039;ve been working out with Lindsay. But he&amp;#039;s keen to find out more about Lindsay&amp;#039;s decision to quit cheerleading after being bullied (and he&amp;#039;s concerned that Lindsay could have a low self-image after being hurt by the other girls). So after chatting with Lindsay - and reassuring her that there&amp;#039;s nothing she can&amp;#039;t do - he takes her to school for some cheerleading fun! The girls are doing a seriously perky cheer about never giving up, and Lindsay admits that she teared up watching it. But she and Dolvett get involved with a cheerleading-style workout and afterwards two of the girls take the time to talk to Lindsay and offer her motivational words of wisdom. I hope they keep being nice to her when the cameras are gone, anyway, because Lindsay seems really lovely.  Sunny Jillian turns up at Sunny&amp;#039;s home while she&amp;#039;s doing some homework, but she&amp;#039;s concerned that Sunny&amp;#039;s spreading herself too thin - she&amp;#039;s getting up at 3am just to finish her homework because of all her extracurricular activities and, now, her workouts. Jillian wants to find out why Sunny is so stressed, and realises that it&amp;#039;s because she feels that she has to do what her parents wish - be the &amp;quot;studious Indian kid&amp;quot; and become a doctor. &amp;quot;I just want to try some new things,&amp;quot; she explains. Poor Sunny! But she admits that she&amp;#039;s nervous about talking to her mom.  So to give Sunny a new experience, Jillian takes her rowing! This is a lot of fun because Jillian is basically rubbish. But Sunny has a great time, and admits that she previously would have been nervous about holding the team up but is now &amp;quot;proud&amp;quot; of what she did on the water. After rowing, Jillian accompanies Sunny as she speaks to her mom, explaining that she wants to take some time to figure out what she wants to do. Her mom is reassuring, too, promising to support her. So it&amp;#039;s good news for Sunny as well!  Trainerless Workouts While the trainers are hanging out with the kids, their teams are trying to work out on their own! The big revelation in the red team is Jackson, who has somehow managed to stop throwing up and has now taken over a leadership role, urging all the other contestants to work hard. He does point out that he can&amp;#039;t afford another low week, so maybe that&amp;#039;s why, but it&amp;#039;s impressive whatever the reason. &amp;quot;Dolvett should be terrified of me taking his job,&amp;quot; Jackson quips. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m coming after him.&amp;quot; The white team are also doing well, as Pam and Danni push each other hard - they&amp;#039;re scared that one of them could be going home. But over on the blue team, the contestants are finding it tough to stay motivated. Michael&amp;#039;s trying to lead, but everyone seems a bit nervous and it&amp;#039;s all a bit shambolic. Plus, Gina&amp;#039;s suffering from homesickness, which is not helping, and David&amp;#039;s still limited by his knee injury. Will they manage to pull it together?  A 5K Challenge The contestants get a trip to the beach this week - but it&amp;#039;s only so that they can take part in a 5k challenge! The plus side is that the winning team (based on the average speed) gets $15,000 to split between them, the second-placed team gets $5,000 and the third $2,500. So it&amp;#039;s not all bad, right? And hey, even Alison is going to be taking part in the run! Everyone&amp;#039;s nervous, never having done anything like this before. Danni immediately takes the lead, and despite some competition from Joe behind her, she keeps it up for the whole race and wins. She&amp;#039;s so ecstatic that she hugs a woman she doesn&amp;#039;t even know! Some of the others are struggling more - Michael has to pause (though the thought of his family motivates him again), Alex gets a bad blister, and Jackson struggles to breathe though he improves massively after using an inhaler.  But Pam knows that she needs to keep the pace if she and Danni are going to win this thing, and she does really impressively - coming in third, behind Joe. Sweetly, Danni runs out to welcome her and run the final few yards with her, which is super cute. Francelina is fourth, sprinting for the final part, and she&amp;#039;s followed by Lisa and a thrilled Jackson.  Gina comes in 7th, followed by Jeff and Michael, who&amp;#039;s joined by the others for the final stretch. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m on cloud nine right now,&amp;quot; he admits, pleased that he ran over the finish line. Alex is the last contestant to finish and admits she&amp;#039;s annoyed, but then she&amp;#039;s buoyed by the other contestants cheering her on. It&amp;#039;s nice how they&amp;#039;re all so supportive of each other this season! Of course, Pam and Danni get the big $15,000 to split between them - nice work.   The Last Chance Workout Watch out teams - the trainers are back, and they&amp;#039;re ready to work! Dolvett&amp;#039;s super impressed when he learns about Jackson&amp;#039;s leadership and is thrilled that finally he&amp;#039;s physically able to work out as much as he&amp;#039;s been trying to. So after a little breakfast and product placement, it&amp;#039;s time to get to work! Dolvett continues to be astonished by Jackson&amp;#039;s progress, but he&amp;#039;s less happy with Joe, who&amp;#039;s having a tough time in the gym.  Eventually, Joe goes outside for a break, explaining that he has a sore knee. That&amp;#039;s not good enough for Dolvett, who goes outside to urge him to carry on working - he can only succeed if he pushes himself. He tells Joe that he just wants &amp;quot;consistency&amp;quot; from him and warns him that he can&amp;#039;t chase him down again. But Joe seems to have been picked up - he&amp;#039;s ready to work, and explains that the trainers are there for precisely that reason.  Elsewhere, the white team and blue team are working together this week, and Jillian&amp;#039;s so pleased with Pam and Danni that she basically just leaves them to get on with it. Things aren&amp;#039;t going so well for the blue team, as Bob realises how &amp;quot;sluggish&amp;quot; they are - could they be in trouble at the weigh in? Jillian pitches in to help, but she ends up getting into a shouting match with Jeff, who&amp;#039;s not pleased with her strategy of &amp;quot;negative reinforcement&amp;quot;. For her part, Jillian&amp;#039;s frustrated that he&amp;#039;s not giving the workout his all and complains about his &amp;quot;attitude&amp;quot;. Bob&amp;#039;s not too sure about Jillian&amp;#039;s tactics, though, and eventually Jillian gives up and sends both Jeff and Michael back to Bob so that she can focus on her team. Ouch! But how will this all play out at the weigh-in? We&amp;#039;re about to find out! The Weigh-In Bob has no idea how this weigh-in is going to go, while Dolvett takes the opportunity before the scales to praise Jackson&amp;#039;s leadership (&amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve always been a ripped bald black guy on the inside,&amp;quot; Jackson quips, giving Dolvett hysterics). But it&amp;#039;s time to get serious, because someone&amp;#039;s going home. First up? The blue team!  Blue Team Michael: Michael admits that he has no idea how this weigh-in will go, since the trainers were gone for so long. But he needn&amp;#039;t worry too much - he&amp;#039;s dropped 12lb from 396lb to 384lb. Bob thinks Michael has a lot of potential and is a &amp;quot;really, really good man&amp;quot;. Isn&amp;#039;t that nice? David: David drops a total of 9lb, going from 272lb to 263lb - he&amp;#039;s pleased, admitting that it&amp;#039;s a &amp;quot;little better&amp;quot; than he thought it would be! Alex: Alex is disappointed to lose just 4lb, dropping to 217lb from 221lb. Bob insists that Alex has been working hard and admits in private that he&amp;#039;s going to have to figure out what&amp;#039;s going on. Gina: Gina admits that she&amp;#039;s nervous, after suffering from homesickness. But she vows to dedicate any pounds she loses to her husband. Well, she&amp;#039;ll have to dedicate 9, because she drops from 215lb to 206lb! &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m happy with that,&amp;quot; Gina grins. Meanwhile, Bob suggests she&amp;#039;s one to watch - if she keeps going, she could make it to the finals. Jeff: Jeff admits that he&amp;#039;s not feeling confident, especially after his argument with Jillian. In the end, he drops from 348lb to 342lb - a loss of 6lb. He admits that he wanted a double digit figure but also says he struggles when people come at him like Jillian did. For her part, Jillian says he&amp;#039;s selling himself short - he needs to make the most of this opportunity. And Bob agrees there&amp;#039;s a lot of work to do and says they have to make sure Jeff&amp;#039;s intensity levels stay high. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a process,&amp;quot; Jeff agrees. With all their members weighed, the blue team have shed a total of 40lb (2.75%). So to ensure their safety, the red team need to have lost more than 29lb - let&amp;#039;s see if they can do it!  Red Team Joe: Joe sheds 7lb, going from 317lb to 310lb, but he admits he would have liked a double digit number. Dolvett&amp;#039;s also a little disappointed, explaining that he would have liked more since Joe is one of the biggest guys on his team. He explains that Joe needs to have more &amp;quot;fire&amp;quot; and admits that he&amp;#039;s worried Joe could end up getting into a comfort zone. Francelina: Francelina&amp;#039;s pleased with her success, as she drops 6lb from 237lb to 231lb. Dolvett&amp;#039;s certainly happy with her, saying she&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;dedicated&amp;quot; and that he loves seeing her blossom. Aww. Lisa: Lisa has dropped 9lb, going from 223lb to 214lb, and gets a little round of applause in celebration! Lisa admits it feels great to see her hard work pay off, and Dolvett also says he&amp;#039;s proud of her, describing her achievement as &amp;quot;unbelievable&amp;quot;. Jackson: Jackson needs to have lost more than 7lb to make sure that the red team is safe, and he&amp;#039;s feeling &amp;quot;terrified&amp;quot;. Still, he&amp;#039;s had a good week... and it shows on the scales! Yep, he&amp;#039;s out of the 300s, going from 300lb to 288lb - a loss of 12lb. There are big celebrations from the red team, as Jackson admits that he was hoping to lose 12lb. Dolvett is also thrilled, explaining that he loved seeing Jackson being able to give 100% as he has wanted to all the time. &amp;quot;You make me excited to train,&amp;quot; he adds. That means the red team have lost a total of 34lb (3.16%) and are safe. But will the white team manage to stay out of the danger zone? They need to have lost more than 12lb, and we&amp;#039;re about to find out if they&amp;#039;ve managed it...  White Team Danni: Danni admits that going up onto the scale is scary - she just hopes her hard work paid off. She&amp;#039;s actually upset with her loss of 6lb (going from 228lb to 222lb) as it&amp;#039;s not &amp;quot;safe&amp;quot;. Pam says she&amp;#039;s proud of Danni no matter what happens, but Danni&amp;#039;s really quite tearful. Pam: It all comes down to Pam, who is proud of her work with Danni this week. She&amp;#039;s feeling confident, but can she lose the 7lb she needs to? Unfortunately, it&amp;#039;s a no - Pam drops 3lb, going from 210lb to 207lb. Danni instantly starts sobbing, but Pam points out that she worked hard and couldn&amp;#039;t do anything else. Jillian, meanwhile, is &amp;quot;heartbroken&amp;quot; but tells Pam that this is a test. Because, yes, Pam is going to be going home - she&amp;#039;s automatically eliminated as she has a lower percentage of weight loss than Danni (their combined total of 9lb/2.05% weight loss puts the white team at the bottom). She tells Danni that she will do well and then leaves the ranch, hugging both her team mate and Jillian before she goes. She admits that she&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;terrified&amp;quot; about leaving the ranch, but she&amp;#039;s determined to become healthier now. And she also expresses her gratitude for Jillian, who has pushed her hard. When we catch up with Pam, she&amp;#039;s dropped from a starting weight of 237lb to 182lb - 55lb in total! Her daughter is thrilled that she can do more active things with her mom now, and Pam is so pleased with her achievements that she treats herself to a makeover. She explains that she feels good about herself for the first time - isn&amp;#039;t that nice? Now, her aim for the final is to drop another 30lb and fit into a size 9 dress. We&amp;#039;ll just have to wait and see... The Biggest Loser airs Mondays on NBC. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
