"The eighth week on The Biggest Loser campus kicks off with the bombshell that two players will be eliminated at the weigh-in. The team that loses the weigh-in will have to send somebody home, while the dreaded red line will also return and any individual from either team could fall below it and be automatically axed. The surprises continue the next morning as Brett and Cara tell the Red Team they will be working out off-campus today. They head to a mixed martial arts gym for a hard training session. &amp;quot;We have the best team hands down,\u201D says Brett. \u201CYou guys are awesome.\u201D There&amp;#039;s also a surprise for Rulon - the gym is owned by Bas Rutten, one of his former trainers. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s good to see him in a lot of ways but it&amp;#039;s also sad,&amp;quot; reflects Rulon. &amp;quot;He got to see the weight that I put on and what happened to me after I stopped caring.&amp;quot; Bas, however, is supportive of Rulon&amp;#039;s motivation to get fit again, and the Olympian leaves the gym feeling good. Back on campus, the Black Team are working out with Bob and Jillian. Arthur is determined he won&amp;#039;t be going home this week, and uses his two kids for inspiration. Elsewhere, Jillian is pushing players on the treadmills, upping their regular speeds. Meanwhile, Moses fears that daughter Kaylee could be vulnerable this week and wakes her early the next morning for a work-out. The Challenge This week&amp;#039;s challenge involves a game of volleyball using giant inflatable balls. The teams have to work together to move six balls from one end of a playing field to the other while wearing boxing gloves. The rules are: the ball can&amp;#039;t hit the ground; one player can&amp;#039;t hit the ball twice in a row; and the players can&amp;#039;t catch the ball. The Black Team struggles and the Red Team eventually wins 6-1. Their prize is a 3lbs advantage at the weigh-in.   Back at the ranch, Marci tells the Black Team that she would feel OK falling below the red line to save the girls, and Sarah agrees, but wants to know how Jesse feels, and if the team would vote a parent off in the case of losing the weigh-in. Jesse says they are making him feel guilty because he hasn&amp;#039;t said he&amp;#039;ll join the plan, although, of course, he doesn&amp;#039;t want Arthur to go home. He says that just because he is older, it doesn\u2019t mean that he is willing to go home: &amp;quot;I have issues I have got to deal with and it\u2019s like they are getting overlooked and don\u2019t exist.&amp;quot; The teams gather with their trainers for the last chance work-out, and even the Red Team - who have a weigh-in advantage - know they have to work hard. The Weigh-In Red Team Austin: -7lbs Ken: -5lbs Justin: -7lbs Rulon: -4lbs Kaylee: -7lbs Moses: -11lbs Jen: +2lbs  Jen says that she trained as hard as she could this week but feels like she has &amp;quot;failed&amp;quot; her team and her dad. &amp;quot;To be honest with you it&amp;#039;s an embarrassment,&amp;quot; she privately adds.  Total: 42lbs (including 3lbs advantage) Black Team Arthur: -9lbs Olivia: -4lbs Sarah: -4lbs Irene: -3lbs Hannah: -1lbs Courtney: -2lbs Marci: +1lb Jesse: +3lbs Deni: +8lbs Total: 11lbs   Marci, Jesse and Deni all say that they would do anything to save their children and the young people on the team. Deni falls below the red line is automatically eliminated. &amp;quot;You are not the biggest loser,&amp;quot; says Alison. &amp;quot;I am the biggest winner,&amp;quot; responds Deni. She gets applauded as she leaves the podium. The Black Team has also lost the weigh-in and must choose somebody to eliminate. Jesse is sent home but the women praise his support of them on campus and insist he will be fine by himself. &amp;quot;In this game this is the ultimate gift you can give those you love,&amp;quot; says Jesse. &amp;quot;I feel honored to be able to do that.&amp;quot;  We learn in a post-elimination update that Jesse has gone from 293lbs to 227lbs and his diabetes is under control. He&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;committed&amp;quot; to exercising for the rest of his life and has organized Saturday walking clubs for the community. &amp;quot;At the age of 61 years old... I feel like my life is just starting,&amp;quot; he adds.  Deni has shed 86lbs from her starting weight of 256lbs and is able to run around with her grandchildren. She&amp;#039;s also now seen footage from her daughter&amp;#039;s wedding, which took place while she was at the ranch. &amp;quot;I feel like I have got the golden ticket and had the opportunity of a lifetime,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m going to live a lot longer and be around for my kids and grandkids.&amp;quot; The Biggest Loser airs Tuesdays on NBC "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
