(Original Air Date 4/20/2010)

The contestants meet with Alison to hear the announcement of a serious food temptation…

Food Temptation:

Alison announces that there is a room upstairs filled with food – healthy and unhealthy choices. The kitchen is locked and the contestants must eat all of their meals from this room for the whole day.

At the end of the day, the person with the most calories consumed will win the temptation and control the elimination this week by having the only vote.  If this person also happens to fall before the yellow line, the game will continue as normal.

Most of the contestants actually stayed below their normal calories for the day. Koli, on the other hand completely blew everyone away by eating 4,164 calories! Koli wins the single vote this week and he did it all to keep Sam in the game.

Bob and Jillian discover that Koli won the temptation and are annoyed by everything that Koli ate all because of wanting Sam to stay. Jillian is flat out disgusted.

The contestants workout with Bob and Jillian and everyone is very amazed by what O’Neil has accomplished as he does some serious push-ups! Go O’Neil!

Ashley has a melt down in the gym and talks to Bob about where she is emotionally right now.

The contestants meet with the doc to see how all of their hard work is paying off physically. MAJOR gains here for all! Awesome! Now that is the real pay-off to getting healthy.

Challenge:

Each contestant has 175 building blocks to get themselves high up to collect their banner and win the challenge. The prize? A 1 lb advantage at the weigh-in.

The person that comes in last will get a 1 lb disadvantage for the week.

Sam and Daris are the first to reach the ladders and try for the climb.  Daris wins the challenge and the one lb advantage! Go Daris!!

Now everyone will fight to not come in last.

Man, O’Neil falls as he is climbing down from his blocks and needs to be taken away by medics…looks like injury to his knee. 🙁 O’Neil automatically gets the 1 lb disadvantage because he was unable to complete the challenge.

He comes back from the hospital wearing a brace on his knee but it good spirits.

Bob and Jillian announce that the contestants are heading to the beach – not with their trainers, but to meet a very special person to workout with…Gabrielle Reece, professional beach volleyball player. She puts them through an intense workout at the beach.

Trainer Tip:

It is just as important to exercise your brain as it is your body. Try balancing on one foot or on a stability ball as someone quizzes you so that you are working your brain along with your stability skills.

O’Neil gets the sad news that his older brother passed away from cancer. Man, hard week for O’Neil.

Last Chance Workout:

Typical last chance workout craziness! Jillian works O’Neil out in a big way which is great for him emotionally. Seems that he really needs it with everything he’s been through this week.
