They allowed two players back in the game. Mark and pink girl (Allie, I think?) from the mother-daughter made it back in.

What is up with the two who ended up in the bottom 2? Don't cha think that if you work out 7 days a week as hard as they do you would lose more then 0 pounds & 2 pounds? I was shocked. I just knew there was going to be at least one guy bottom 2. I was really hoping that at least Dan would of ended up bottom 2. It would of stopped the 2 votes and the cocky attitude.

We haven't gotten to who were in the bottom 2 yet, but if it was one of the girls, they were having problems with eating too much food this week. Stress can also hamper weigh loss as your body will start hording calories.

Quick recap of tonight's show: To start, all of the former contestants from this season returned for another weigh-in. Allison reveals that two would re-enter the competition, one male and one female. The top weigh percentage losers would return. Top female loser was Ali, no other female even comes close to her percentage weight loss. Curtis and Trent both break the 100 lb. total loss threshold but Mark wins over Bernie who falls 2 lbs. short of the top spot. So the two re-entering the game are Ali and Mark. Since Mark lost a higher percentage of weight than Ali, he was given the choice of training either with Bob or Jillian. Mark chooses Bob and "Team Pride" and turns in his original black team t-shirt for blue again. Ali then joins Jillian's black team but refuses to wear the black t-shirt saying she's staying in pink for her mom. The challenge this week is a stationary bike event. First heat all six compete, bottom two are eliminated. Mark wins, Dan second, bottom two are Ali and Kelly. Second heat is won again by Mark. Dan comes in second again. Brittany and Maggie are eliminated leaving all four blue team members in the competition. Heat three yields similar results. Mark in first, Dan in second, Jay and Roger eliminated. In the final heat, Dan bursts thru and ends Mark's winning streak. Dan wins the challenge and ends up with an important prize, he will receive two votes for elimination IF he stays above the yellow line at the weigh-in. Before the weigh-in on tonight's show, Jillian goes off on Allison and complains that it's unfair to the girls, especially Brittany, since they can't lose as much as the guys. Plenty of profanity used by Jillian. Allison trying to defuse the tension switches to asking Bob about the pressure of going from final 6 back to final 8. The weigh-in then starts with the two returning players jumping on the scale first. After seven of them weigh-in, Brittany is below the yellow line, Dan is on the bubble with only Maggie left to weigh-in. Maggie needs to lose more than 3 lbs to be safe. Maggie weighs in and loses zero pounds for the week. So the two players up for elimination were Brittany and Maggie. When Allison announces the bottom two she makes sure to also point out that this week's biggest loser was a woman, Ali. This was directed at Jillian. Show ends before they show the vote. The preview announces that the eviction will happen first thing on next Wednesday's show.

Now, we can quote Dan who said, when trying to figure out what to eat, it's WWBD (what would Bob do). The other interesting thing was that Bob said, the contestants get a 'cheat day' after each of the weigh-ins where they can eat high caloric foods while maintaining their regular workout. That's interesting.

Maggie was the one who said early in the show she was having problems with food. She just wanted to eat everything in sight. So, I can see why she did not lose any weight.

While I'd like to finally see whiny Brittany leave the ranch, I think the best move for "Team Pride" is to eliminate Maggie. Brittany's already a basketcase with Bernie's eviction. She'll only get worse without Maggies to lean on and will probably fall below the yellow line again next week. Maggie losing zero pounds might be able to put up a big number next week if they leave her in the game. Props to Ali for working hard to return to the game. She returned with a great attitude and worked extremely hard, taking everything Jillian threw at her to become this week's Biggest Loser. I'm rooting for "Team Pride" but if a female is destined to win this season, please let it be Ali.

Did anyone else think that Jillian paid more attention to Ally (who came back in) than to the other players? Or did they just edit it that way?

I agree that if they were smart they would get rid of Maggie. If any of them are thinking about our Bob's charts ( ) they would realize that Brittany can't win unless she amputated a leg while Maggie still has a shot. Catfat, I noticed too and unless it was the editing, the rest of her team noticed too and wasn't impressed. Ali looks fantastic and had a great advantage this week (different workouts, new diet... would step up the metabolism) but her weight must be really close to her ultimate goal so will see if she can keep it up for much longer.

I didn't see the whole show just the last 1/2 hour of weigh in's. If mathmatically, Brittney can't win, Allison should have said nothing to her about that. Why rub it in? Jillian was like a lioness defending her cubs. Allison's snide remark at the end of the weigh in's about a woman being the biggest loser that week irritated me too. Props to Ally for losing 7 lbs but although she was working out at home, it can't be as demanding or all consuming compared to what they make you do on the show and eat on the show so her body got an extra boost from the change in routine which probably helped her lose the weight where as Brittney and Maggie's routine has been the same for 11 weeks so they didn't lose as much. Does that make sense? I know that if I do something differently this week, like swimming at the local pool, I will see a difference on the scale.

Sportygirl, I totally agree. Ally had a big weigh in because she came back and did totally different things. I don't think they work out at home nearly as much as they do at the ranch and also the food, too many people watching. It was like a shock to her body and that is why she had such a large loss. Watch next week! And it is true, you can do everything right and lose nothing one week and the next week have a big loss. That is called a plateau, very common. I wonder about the women and their weight loss during that time of the month. That has to have an impact and could totally affect game play. I would really love to see a separate all women episode or in each season, there are two winners, a man and a woman.

I think they're setting us up for an all women Biggest Loser. Also, I kind of wonder if Brittany will use the 'information that she can't possibly win' to her advantage with the Blue team. She could say, "look, keep me in as you will win the money if I'm in the finals. Next week, Maggie will probably be above the yellow line because she lost zero. Your odds are better to remain above the yellow line if I am still here."

I agree they should boot Maggie of the two. I thought Jillian going off on the host was a bit out of line considering that undoubtedly the host was following scripted questions and statements. I completely understand Jillian's wanting to drop her F-bombs on someone, but perhaps more on the writers/producers. LOL and of course maybe I'm naive and her outburst was also scripted? I loved the comeback when the host pointed out that despite all the whining about "girls" never being able to beat those "boys" that a woman HAD the highest % for the week. I agree that Ali probably had more potential to lose because of the probable ramp up in her routine with Jillian. And I know it was just for a few scenes but I had to laugh when Jill was working Ali hard and they'd show the other three women literally standing or barely moving and watching.. Tsk. Also when Maggie was asked why she lost 0, too bad she wasn't honest.. she had already told Jillian that the bringing back of people had rattled her and she reacted by eating. I can understand Jillian's frustration with them.. they just saw how successful most of the booted people had been at home and they are STILL whining that they cannot succeed unless they stay, that they cannot possibly win, when they already have won so much. Ali looks wonderful and loved how proud Bette-Sue was. Also some big losses in that group from home. I sort of wish Curtis had returned so that there would be none of the original pairings there. I really thought it would be good for the brothers to stay separate to keep learning they could do it alone. And it wouldn't really have been a good thing for Dan if Jackie returned. Wish Ali would have gone "black" but the reality is those girls wouldn't ever really take her back in and resented her return and that they got stuck with yet another "girl". So I can see why she is fond of pink and she may well ally with the guys.

I actually loved Allison's comment at the end of the weigh-in. Jillian deserved the dig after her expletive rant on Allison. I'm sure Allison doesn't spend much time at the ranch watching the contestants so her questioning of Brittany wasn't mean or spiteful. If anything she was doing what the writers and producers told her to do, so Jillian should have taken out her frustration out on them. Not on Allison. I actually thought Allison showed very good restraint when Jillian verbally attacked her. Her little remark showing that a woman can win was well placed and needed to be said. Ali deserved the recognition for her hard work to earn her return to the ranch and the effort she put in upon her return to become the week's Biggest Loser. It's sad that Jillian and Brittany (and maybe Kelly and Maggie) don't think a woman can win this year. I hope their defeatist attitude doesn't affect Ali who I think is the dark horse in this year's game. Yes Ali can't loose as much weight at the guys, but the winner is determined by percentage of weight loss and not the total amount of weight loss. Yes the Blue Team weighs more but that also means that they have to loose more weight each week to equal the percentage of weight loss of the Black Team. At this point in the game, since they've already lost so much weight, it should be harder for Dan or Mark to drop the pounds than it should be for Kelly or Maggie or Brittany. The Black Team needs to "suck it up" and prove Jillian wrong. Boo-hoo Bernie is gone. Suck it up. The Blue team had an emotional lost when Mark left two weeks ago but they came together to overcome it. People here laugh at the whole "Pride on Three" concept of the Blue Team but that little team motivational technique is effective. That's why sports teams use it. I truly believe that the reason Bob's team is doing so well is not that it's loaded with men but rather that they are a TEAM. They work together. They truly like each other. When Dan's mother was voted out, they didn't see him as "the next one to go" if they lost. Instead they comforted him. Apologized for voting Jackie out and helped him through the disappointment. They helped make him feel as a valuable part of the team. The last two times that they lost, they didn't need to "get rid of anyone". Trent and Mark both stepped up and "took one for the team". On the other hand, the Black Team has always been divided. The young vs. the old. Bernie, Brittany, and Maggie vs. Kelly and her ex. Both Kelly and her ex knew they would be the ones to leave if their team lost the weigh-in. No questions asked. A divided team is usually destined to fail. It's also not Allison's fault that Bernie foolishly saved Brittany last week leading to his ouster and the ultimate destruction of Black Team's confidence. I hope Bernie's parents and girlfriend are still slapping him silly for sacrificing himself for someone who he just met for the first time a few weeks ago. Bernie had a chance to win the game, Brittany with her poor attitude and lack of self-esteem shouldn't have stayed in the game. It's pretty sad that a player (Bernie) and not the trainer (Jillian) was the glue that held the Black Team together. At the end of that escalator challenge when Bob was able to hand pick his new team, I thought Jillian pretty much hurt her team by showing her disappointment in how the teams were split. The members of her team's already low self-confidence wasn't helped by her reaction to the swap. Her job is to motivate them, not show them she thought the team split was unfair. Last years sweep of the finals by Jillian's team has gone to her head. She's a very good trainer but she isn't head and tails above Bob. Her ego has gotten too big and this "humiliation" is what she needed. Poppi showed us two seasons ago that what really matters isn't the trainer who you have (since she did it ALONE at home rather than at the ranch) but rather the players own will to change their lifestyle that led to their weight problem. I understand Jillian's frustration with being stuck with her loser team, but that's the way it goes. She should have beaten Bob in the escalator challenge then she'd have had her pick of teams. Anyone think that Jillian wouldn't have stuck it to Bob if she had won that escalator challenge? I don't remember Bob lashing out last season with Jillian had the dominate team in the finals. Jillian's ego just has gotten too big. She thought she was the reason why the "rejects" won last year. Now she's realizing that it's not the trainer who makes the difference but the players' own attitude and commitment that determines "The Biggest Loser". Go "Team Pride" and Ali!
