It’s week five, and the contestants who had to compete from home are now back on the ranch.  As the players welcome back Aubrey, Laura, Sione, Shannon, Cathy, and Carla, Bob sits his team down to warn them of how much more competitive the ranch will be now that everyone is back.  Meanwhile, Jillian was sad but unsurprised to find Dan and Dave gone.

The at-home contestants get weighed in, the event everyone was waiting for.  Some contestants did fairly well with Shannon losing fifteen pounds, but others, such as Aubrey, who only lost two pounds, have their work on the ranch cut out for them.  Jillian and Bob recognize that it isn’t realistic to expect the at-home contestants to have lost as much weight as those on the ranch, but they aren’t taking any excuses for low weight losses.  In the end, Sione wins immunity for himself and Filipe with a loss of twenty-five pounds.

The challenge this week had players for either a two-pound pass or $5000 cash.  The players are tied together with a rope that is wound around a big pipe.  In order to win the challenge, they need to unwind themselves enough to make it to the finish line.  This challenge emphasized team work.  While Joelle is intrigued by the money, Carla tells her that they will be playing for the pass.  In the end, Aubrey and Mandi of the yellow team win the challenge and have to decide on their prize.

It comes down to the last chance work out, the first time that the at-home players have worked with Jillian and Bob in thirty days.  Jillian pushes her team, reminding them that they are gone as soon as they fall below the yellow line due to having only three teams to Bob’s five.  On Bob’s side, Joelle is still slacking off, and Carla has to work extra hard to make up for her lack of dedication.

At the weigh-in, the yellow team decides to take the two-pound pass.  Joelle says that she might have low numbers, but it doesn’t matter because Carla has been working hard, and she still has the other members on her team to save her.  When it’s revealed that she lost no weight this week, she falls below the yellow line.  The Silver team, of Joelle and Carla, and the Brown Team, of Mike and Ron, go up for elimination.

Carla and Aubrey get upset with Joelle for being selfish and not dedicating herself to her team.  Meanwhile, Mike reminds the contestants that he and his father are committed and have been working hard since the beginning while Joelle has failed to show any progress.  Carla and Joelle ended up getting voted off, and everyone let Carla know that it wasn’t because of her and let her know that she could definitely still win in the finale.
