This week’s episode started off with another pop-challenge.  Ali announced that the gym had been locked and would remain so the entire week.  If the players wanted to open it, they had to hike to the top of a hill to pick up a key.  However, only 2 keys out of 130 would open it up.  Choose the wrong one and up they go again!  The players all took to the challenge, but some had a harder time than others.  Ron struggled with his bad knees, but the other contestants helped him, and Helen even stayed with him to make sure he didn’t hurt himself.  Karma rewarded her when Shanon was the first one to unlock the door after forty minutes.  After an hour, Mike finds the second lucky key!

Jillian was really happy to find that Dane was still with the team.  However, Bob was upset that his team kept such a threat in the house.  His mood was turned when he found out that both keys belonged to members of his team.  Jillian, not being a fan of the outdoors, decided to turn the living room into a home gym and had them doing 80’s style aerobics.  Tara was having an off week and had a slight breakdown after Jillian refused to grant her a break.  Jillian told her that, no matter how stressed or worried she is, she can’t sabotage the one thing keeping her on the ranch – her workouts.

The teams all enjoy their time outside by turning on the sprinklers and wrestling in the mud.  They use the activity to have fun and destress while still burning calories.

At this week’s challenge, the contestants have to row fast enough to keep their light green.  If they slow down, it will go to yellow, which is a warning.  And if it turns to red, they are eliminated.  It’s a team challenge this week, as well, so if one person goes red, the both of them are out.  Dane, Laura, and Tara are the last ones in, but Dane wins his first challenge in the end.  Laura bursts into town, feeling like she let her partner down.

As a last chance work out, Bob takes everyone down the beach.  Because of Ron’s knees, however, he works out in the pool.  He feels guilty for not being able to work as hard as Bob would normally push someone to, but Bob realizes how hard he is working and finds him inspirational.  Jillian had her team doing aerobics, boxing, and running for their last chance workout, pushing them to their limits.

At the weigh-in, the pink team fell below the yellow line. Shanon asked the members to please keep her mother on the ranch, and they respected her wishes, keeping Helen on for another week.
