The teams hunt for buried treasure on the beach in hopes of winning a trip home to visit loved ones. But when members of the winning team are home, some struggle to continue making healthy choices.

The team back at the ranch, however, focuses on losing weight and making the most of the time alone on campus. Also: The players work at a food bank; a contestant has a breakthrough.

sounds better than last weeks show

I wonder if the 'breakthrough' will be Dina jumping up on that damn platform?!?

My thoughts exactly!

You all must have been reading my mind.. Dina & her stool was the first thing I thought of..

I get it though, I have always thought those stools were not safe. I would be afraid to fall. Maybe if she does it "I" will get over it.

Ok, so only one team gets to go home as a "reward"? I don't think going home would be a great reward this early in the game, with all of them fighting to stay on the ranch. They are going to be faced with no trainers, fixing their own food and the stress of a family life again. If they did this challenge later in the game I could see it as a reward, but now it's just plain scary!

I like that they are going to be helping at a food pantry again this season. I liked how they incorporated a challenge into the work last year. Hope they do it again.

Dina needs to get on that stool! They spent so much time on it last week, and they are saying there will be a breakthrough, so it best be Dina getting on that stool! If not, drop it until she does. We don't need the drama, we have it from Tracey!

Some thoughts for a workout challenge during tonight's episode:

25 crunches:
- Every time Tracey does the crazy eyes
- Every time Tracey cries - no matter the reason
- Every time Dina tries to jump on the stool, and fails (50 crunches if she actually makes it!)

10 squats (with or without hand weights)
- Every time Liz threatens to go after Tracey
- Every time Liz cries/whines about losing her partner
- Every time Shay rolls her eyes at someone
- Every time Daniel gives Shay unrequited encouragement

...I have to get back to work, anyone else care to make some additions?

LOL - I'm printing this off for the show tonight!!

That would be one heck of a workout. Might need to scale it back a bit if you want to be able to walk the next day.

Based on the NBC preview I just saw it looks like they all go home.

I thought that only one team was going home, the winner of the challenge. Oh well. Will see when the show comes on in about 4 hours.

See ya all there!

This seems to be another challenge where winning might mean losing. I f I were there I would be "ready" for an individual weigh in instead of teams. Just focus on what I could control and not the team aspect. You never really know how the producers will set up the eliminations. It could be a vote of those on the losing team or between the two who lose the least or even just the one with the lowest loss. The players can only work with their own intake and exercise schedules.

From the previews it looks like only one team goes home.

I wonder how certain contestants will do at home since they have stated they can not survive without their trainer or partner.

We started exercising during episodes last season, go to this thread and join in

Ugh, I'm so over that stool. I like Dina, but enough already. The producers were trying to create drama where there was none. They ended up creating anti-drama.

I think if Jillian wanted her to jump, they should have set up a volleyball net and put Dina in the front row. Forget the step and just let her jump, smashing the volleyball down on the heads of the other team.

Tonights thought is “Integrity is doing the right thing, even if nobody is watching.”

Where is everyone?

Good one Bob!

Good evening everyone..

Okay...

The 1st fake crying moment for Tracy for the evening...

I'm here! Good evening Missilulu! Good evening everyone :-D

Hello Donna.

ooh boy I am on a treadmill!!!!!

Hi All!

So, now that Jillian has her own show do you think she is going to leave TBL?

good evening everyone

I don't like sand either. Wonder why Tracey can't dig if she is able to work out?

Hi Missilulu.

She has her own show? Details, please.

She said on her Facebook page that she won't leave TBL. Her show is gonna be a different type of show.

I don't "dig" her, either...

I read on a link that she says she will stay as long as NBC will have her.

Oh ok Thank you... I didnt read her FB. I read the LA times. And I see that TBL web site now has it on there that they are casting for it.

From what I read she is going to criss cross the country and stay with families that need help with weight issues , working out etc. That is all I have read for now.

tracy got a medical reason

Hi there BreathinFire.

Sounds cool I'll be watching!

She said it will involve weight, finances, relationships, following dreams--all aspects of family life.

LOL now that's funny, i like tracy but im not rooting for her, i want Dina go to all the way cause she's such a cutie

Wow.. I didnt read that part of the finance stuff. Should be good.

Tracy wins AGAIN. And she didnt do a darn thing. UGGGHHH

The application is about 18 pages long. There is a section where you agree to pay the producers 1 million dollars if you reveal anything about the show and 100,000 dollars if you do anything that would embarass the producers.

I am going to start a thread about Jillian's new show, so we can discuss it there.

OH MY GOSH..

curve ball, so who on the black team messes up.
Unfortunatley I vote Shay

Smart of the Blue team to give their prize away. Now Bob won't have to scream at them, but Jillian will blow a gasket.

Well, I have to agree with you. I would have hated to go home. Esp now.

omg! i totally forgot how big Daniel was

So why not ask Daniel's mom how she let her son get so obese?
