(Original Air Date 10/13/2009)
Four weeks ago the contestants came to the ranch and were partnered up in teams. Tonight they would be divided into two teams (Blue/Black) with Bob and Jillian training their competitive teams once again.
Alison introduced this at the temptation challenge where the contestants would spin a wheel choosing one of 35 silver plates. One plate contained a golden ticket and the person that won the golden ticket would be able to choose the teams and the trainers. The other plates contained either sweets that the contestants had to eat or amounts of money. The contestants were able to choose if they wanted to take part in the temptation and everyone did play except for Abby.
The contestants were in shock when once again Tracey won the challenge and the power to choose the teams.
Tracey chooses Bob as her training for Team Blue and the rest of the team consists of: Coach Mo, Allen, Rudy, Rebecca and Liz.
Jillian’s Black Team is: Abby, Dina, Amanda, Danny, Daniel and Shay.
Many contestants are upset with Tracey but none more so than Liz who is overcome with emotion that she is being split from her partner Danny. She vows to get rid of Tracey the first chance she gets.
Jillian gives her team a good workout in the gym and Bob deals with Liz who passes out while on the treadmill.
There is a big moment in the gym (and throughout the show) when Jillian is trying to get Dina to jump up onto the platform. For some reason Dina has a huge mental block about completing this task and Jillian presses her to get to the bottom of the real thing that she is afraid of…presses her to get real with her feelings.
“Your life’s not changing today, but at least your butt’s getting smaller.” ~ Jillian Michaels to Dina
Trainer Tip:
Jillian Michaels (trainer): Do deadlifts to tone and strengthen gluts and hamstrings. For an added challenge, lift one leg and then alternate with the other leg.
Bob takes the Blue Team grocery shopping for lunch to teach them more about nutrition. They sit outside and have wraps made of Jennie-o Turkey and lots of vegetables.
Team Competition: (1st Blue vs. Black Competition):
The teams needed to complete a race while carrying on of their teammates on a platform. The one being carried could swap out. The winning team would win videos from home, a prize everyone wanted.
The blue team won and everyone was very excited to watch video messages from their loved ones.
A very touching moment was when Liz went to her old partner Danny to ask him to come watch her video with her. When she started the video, he realized that she had swapped her video for his. He was so grateful and the moment was awesome…go Liz!
Last Chance Workout:
Jillian worked her team out in pairs of two so they could push one another.
Bob took the Blue Team to 24 Hr Fitness to work out as a group.
Trainer Tip:
Bob Harper (trainer): If a regular push-up is too difficult, work up to it by starting against a wall then moving down to chair or table.

It seemed the Blue Team was sure to vote off Tracey as she had made many enemies over the course of the past few weeks. While discussions were underway though, Coach Mo completely stepped up to the plate asking the team to vote him out because it was the right thing for the team since he had the lowest weight loss. Very honorable Coach Mo!
