" I don&amp;#039;t know about you, but I&amp;#039;m only just recovering from last week&amp;#039;s caffeine pill-based scandal on The Biggest Loser. I never thought that Jillian Michaels would be the 21st century version of Jessie Spano, but I kind of like it. Still, the effects are still being felt on the Ranch this week. It&amp;#039;s all good news from Craig, who visits his dad&amp;#039;s grave for closure and has lost a whole load of weight. It&amp;#039;s good news too for the Red Team, who are thrilled to have Ruben back and think he&amp;#039;ll boost their spirits when they need it most.  On the other hand, things aren&amp;#039;t so rosy for the White Team. Jillian is issuing a severe mea culpa, telling her team - now down to just three - that she&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;so sorry&amp;quot;. Everyone&amp;#039;s looking a bit downhearted, but they vow to work hard and keep going. Maybe this will be the motivation that the White Team needs, right?  Things get challenging Time for a challenge, eh? There are big stakes for this week&amp;#039;s competition, too, because each member of the winning team will go home with $1,000. Not bad at all - however much everyone might go on about how it&amp;#039;s not about the cash. Anyway, in the construction-themed challenge it&amp;#039;s all about running to collect balls and using trampolines to bounce them over ravines and into buckets to win points - the first team to reach 30 points will win.  Everyone is obviously hoping to put an end to the Blue Team&amp;#039;s winning streak - apart from the Blue Team - and Red member David pretty quickly comes up with a brilliant rhythm that has him scoring three points each time. It&amp;#039;s not much of a surprise when he eventually leads his team to victory - helped along the way by Ruben and Tanya doing a fun cheerleading-style dance on the sidelines. &amp;quot;Finally we won something,&amp;quot; David grins. &amp;quot;Finally we have bragging rights!&amp;quot; Sorry, Blues... let&amp;#039;s see if you can still win the weigh-in.  Working Out Time for some workouts! Dolvett is feeling confident with his Red Team, who are really fired up and have momentum (after Ruben&amp;#039;s return and their challenge win.) Now he&amp;#039;s just trying to keep their energy high. Everyone certainly seems focused, and there&amp;#039;s a really sweet moment when Rachel reveals that she&amp;#039;s so happy to be part of the team because they feel like a &amp;quot;big family&amp;quot;. It&amp;#039;s especially moving as we see footage of her from before the Ranch, when she felt isolated and lonely. Now, she feels like she has friends for life. So touching. And Dolvett is super impressed with their commitment and the way they&amp;#039;re all evolving. Over on the Blue Team, Bob is trying to make sure everyone keeps their focus despite actually losing the challenge for once. He&amp;#039;s not used his save yet, and wants to keep it for someone who&amp;#039;ll go the distance. He&amp;#039;s particularly pleased with Chelsea, who he thinks is &amp;quot;all in&amp;quot;. Chelsea herself is very determined, saying she wants to change her life during her time on the show. Meanwhile, Matt explains that he would never have come if he didn&amp;#039;t want to win, and he wants to make it through the competition without ever putting Bob in the position of having to save him. Are the White Team feeling as motivated? Well, yes. Jillian is trying to keep them all centred, and Tumi seems very appreciative, saying that Jillian is really supportive. She adds that since there are only three of them left, they are all going to have to work really hard - no-one can be weak this week! Jillian helps by advising them to focus on their goals - for Tumi, it&amp;#039;s her wedding, while Marie is focused on becoming a mom. As for Jay, he&amp;#039;s training so hard that he&amp;#039;s throwing up all over the place, but he&amp;#039;s determined to keep going. How will this all pay off at the weigh-in?  Lessons from long ago Here we go, it&amp;#039;s time for things to get a bit emotional. The contestants each discover that they have a DVD - featuring themselves talking before they entered the Ranch. It&amp;#039;s supposed to remind them why they&amp;#039;re working so hard, and it seems to work - Marie feels &amp;quot;sad&amp;quot; for the person was; Matt remembers filming the video and finding it funny but he doesn&amp;#039;t think it&amp;#039;s funny any more (though he&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;joyful&amp;quot; he&amp;#039;ll never be &amp;quot;that unhealthy&amp;quot; again). Everyone watches David&amp;#039;s video, which sees him talking about his late wife, while Rachel cries when she sees hers as she doesn&amp;#039;t recognise herself (neither does Jay). Hap is really profound, though, saying that when the video finished and faded to black, he saw his reflection in the computer screen and realised how much he has changed. That&amp;#039;s not all that&amp;#039;s going on - last season&amp;#039;s winner Danni Allen pops up, and sure, it&amp;#039;s mostly a product placement for Subway, but I&amp;#039;m thrilled to see her because she was so great (and still looks fantastic.) Then Dolvett takes Ruben to the house of his music producer David Foster to see him at work. David&amp;#039;s really proud of Ruben, and he&amp;#039;s even written a little song about what he imagines he is going through. This is obviously just an elaborate excuse to get Ruben to sing on the show, but it is nice to hear his voice, and hey, we also get Dolvett singing (it&amp;#039;s funny when he&amp;#039;s defending his vocals while Ruben is saying he should stick to the gym.) &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m sure somebody out there will let me sing to them,&amp;quot; Dolvett jokes. Um, I don&amp;#039;t think he&amp;#039;d be short of willing people. With David pushing him with his music and Dolvett pushing him in the gym, it&amp;#039;s time for Dolvett to get to work...  The Weigh-In Time for the weigh-in! Only Bob still has his trainer save, but will he need to use it? Well, the Blue Team is the first group to hit the scales... Blue TeamHap: Hap isn&amp;#039;t that confident about the Blue Team this week - they&amp;#039;ve had &amp;quot;ups and downs&amp;quot; - but he&amp;#039;s hoping that he&amp;#039;ll get a big number. He does fine, dropping 8lbs from 348lbs to 340lbs.Holley: Holley was 296lbs and is now 291lbs - a loss of 5lbs. She&amp;#039;s not too happy with the number, but says she worked hard.Matt: Matt says that while the Blue Team lost the challenge, he&amp;#039;s hoping to pull a solid number to ensure they don&amp;#039;t lose the weigh-in. He drops 4lbs, going from 294lbs to 290lbs, and Bob looks like he&amp;#039;s getting nervous...Chelsea: Chelsea weighed in at 202lbs last week so she&amp;#039;s super close to reaching wonderland... and she does, dropping 5lbs to hit 197lbs. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s a big deal,&amp;quot; she squeals, having admitted that it&amp;#039;s about six years since she&amp;#039;s been in the 100s. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m excited!&amp;quot;Bobby: Bobby drops 5lbs, going from 298lbs to 293lbs, and Bob is not happy. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve not been too impressed with what Bobby&amp;#039;s done this week,&amp;quot; he reveals, saying he should be losing around 8lbs. Still, the Blues lost a total of 27lbs or 1.88%, but Chelsea&amp;#039;s getting worried... White TeamJay: The White Team need to have lost more than 13lbs to beat the Blues and ensure their safety, and Jay feels like they have something to prove - plus they can&amp;#039;t really afford to lose another team member. He sheds 5lbs, going from 231lbs to 226lbs, saying it&amp;#039;s been so long that he&amp;#039;s been there that it&amp;#039;s a &amp;quot;beautiful number&amp;quot;.Marie: Marie sheds 6lbs, going from 213lbs to 207lbs.Tumi: Tumi is desperately hoping that her hard work this week will show on the scale - and that she&amp;#039;ll lose more than 2lbs to keep her team safe. She does way more than that - she drops a huge 11lbs, going from 267lbs to 256lbs! &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s ridiculous,&amp;quot; Jillian gasps, as Tumi is absolutely thrilled and basically speechless. That means with a total loss of 22lbs or 3.09%, the White Team is safe.   Red TeamRuben: The Red Team needs to have lost more than 26lbs to survive this week, and Ruben is first on the scales. He&amp;#039;s determined not to be in the position where he has to go home again, and he seems to be doing okay, dropping 8lbs to go from 409lbs to 401lbs (he says he&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;thankful&amp;quot;). Incidentally, this is the first time we really get a good look at Dolvett&amp;#039;s bow tie, which is spectacular.Rachel: Rachel is hoping she can pull a big number to support her team, and is disappointed to learn she&amp;#039;s dropped 3lbs, going from 198lbs to 195lbs. She says that if she manages to stay, every day on the Ranch will eb the most important of her life. Now she&amp;#039;s just hoping the rest of her team can carry her.Tanya: Tanya drops 4lbs - 224lbs to 220lbs - and she&amp;#039;s not happy. Dolvett isn&amp;#039;t either - he&amp;#039;s starting to worry that one of his team members is about to go home.Jennifer: Jennifer also loses 4lbs and goes from 224lbs to 220lbs - she&amp;#039;s just hoping that&amp;#039;s enough to keep everyone safe.David: David needs to have lost more than 7lbs to keep his team safe, and he really doesn&amp;#039;t want to be the reason that someone from the Red Team goes home. In the end, he&amp;#039;s actually a hero - losing a huge 17lbs and dropping from 334lbs to 317lbs. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s a good week,&amp;quot; he grins. Everyone is thrilled, with Dolvett calling him a &amp;quot;warrior&amp;quot; and Rachel thanking him for saving the team. He&amp;#039;s feeling on top of the world, and he should - he&amp;#039;s lost 92lbs in total! Huge! With a total loss of 36lbs and 2.59%, the Red Team is safe. Of course, that means the Blue Team is in jeopardy... and it&amp;#039;s Matt that falls below the red line. Is Bob going to use his trainer save? Bob admits that there are certain people on the team he&amp;#039;d have reservations about using it for - I&amp;#039;m guessing Bobby - but he&amp;#039;s a bit blindsided by Matt being in danger. Matt is very gracious, saying he wants to go the distance but will be healthy whatever, so he doesn&amp;#039;t mind if Bob uses the save. Bob actually reveals that he was saving it for Chelsea - he wants to be able to protect her because she is so deserving - but he also wants this to be a level playing field. In the end, he doesn&amp;#039;t want Matt to go home yet, so he decides to save him. &amp;quot;This is not going to be wasted,&amp;quot; Matt vows, saying he&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;honoured&amp;quot; Bob used his save on him. But now there are no saves left, and there&amp;#039;s going to be an elimination every week. Things are about to get intense... The Biggest Loser airs on NBC.
