keep an eye on the biggest loser couples

The Biggest Loser Couples - TVGrapevine.com
-------------------------------------------

Tonight two of the four players will fall below the yellow line and you, America, will be voting on who will get to go to the finale.

Our contestants return from Australia and after a 14 hour flight, they are met by Alison. She tells them to get changed into their workout gear and come back. When they return, Alison greets them standing behind a table with four covered dishes. She tells them that they have prepared something especially for each one of them, but she can t be the one to explain it to them, she says they have an old friend back... it's Rocco. Rocco says he spoke with their loved ones and he has prepared their favorite dishes with all the fat and calories the used to eat before coming to the Big Brother Campus.

For Roger, he has prepared Pepper Steak with White Rice. Roger steps forward to take a taste - says it's as good as he remembers. For Kelly, he prepared Chicken Afredo with bread sticks. Kelly says she's come too far, she could fit a bite into her calories, but she just doesn't want to. For Mark - three scoops of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream - he says he no longer has the "shelf" so there's no room for the ice cream. For Ali - Steak & Baked Potato with lots of sour cream. Rocco tells them that he doesn't want them to go home and fall into the same routines and eat the same things they used to eat, so he is going to teach them to make them over the healthy way. Rocco's first tip is to make sure the pan is real hot, the hotter the pan, the less fat needed to cook.

Commercial: Alison tells us that America has lost 998,784 and next week will be the final weigh in for the Million Pound Matchup - find out which 5 contestants will attend the finale.

They workout without their trainers. Kelly says it's ok because this will be how it is when the show is over and they go home. Ali says she has to push herself harder and harder and the big question is does she have any gas left in her tank. Roger says not having the trainers is a first in Biggest Loser history, and a first for them, and they just need to turn that negative into a positive and push themselves. Mark says WWBD (What Would Bob Do) s in the back of his mind and helps him push himself harder.

At the end of the week, the trainers return. Roger tells Bob he will lose 15 pounds on this weigh-in. Bob says you'll try, he says no, I will! Bob spends some time talking with Mark who is having a hard time adjusting to Jay's leaving.

Alison arrives while they are relaxing in the living room. She tells them she has a special surprise for each one of them to help them reflect on their time at the campus and it will hopefully motivate them for tomorrows weigh in. She leaves the room saying good night and enjoy.

They are shown the videos of their arrival interviews at the campus and their first weigh in, and the highlights of their time at the campus.

Ali -11 7.53% - 99 pounds, the most ever lost by a woman on Biggest Loser.

Jillian, Ali and Kelly share an emotional group hug. Alison tells them that Roger & Mark are both below the yellow line and one of you will not be in the finals. She says I have one more surprise for you... tonight's elimination will not be your decision.

Jillian & Kelly walk together into the gym. She sees a life sized cutout of herself. She tells Jillian that she is leaving that one behind. Jillian takes Ali to see her life sized cutout. She says she has learned that it is not the weight, it why you hold on to that weight. Jillian says she was lovable then Ali, you just didn't know it.

Bob takes Mark to the guy and Mark says I don't even know that guy. He says that I didn't realize I was that unhealthy is the sad thing about it. Bob takes Roger to meet his cutout. Roger says oh man, look at that guy, I don't want to be by him... where's his clothes. Roger says he has lost weight, but he hasn't changed who he is, he just needed to lose weight. He thanks Bob for his help and his friendship. He says that guy is history! Roger ends with give me a hug America! We see the contestants arrive home.
