After last week’s surprising elimination, some of the contestants voiced complaints over the final outcome.  Filipe in particular was angry, but Jillian’s team pointed out that, with Damien gone, Bob’s team was now considerably weaker than theirs.

We checked in with the contestants who are at home and saw that some were working hard and some haven’t changed their lifestyles at all.  Sione has converted his tv watching time to working out in the gym, and Tara is trying to balance taking care of her children with getting in some exercise, as well.  But Dave is still smoking and eating large quantities of food with little exercise.

Blaine gets to go home this week because his wife is in labor with their fourth child.  He’ll be gone for the challenges and workouts, but he’ll be back at the end of the week for the weigh-in.

The contestants then go out to a tailgating party since it’s Super Bowl week.  Celebrity chef Curtis Stone is there to teach them about how unhealthy the snacks people eat while watching football are.  He has them guess the amount of calories in different foods, and the top three players will win an opportunity for him to show them how to prepare healthier alternatives.  And the top winner will visit their partner’s home to have a one-on-one healthy cooking lesson with them.  They’ll also get a two pound pass for the next weigh-in.

Helen, Kristin, and Dan were the lucky winners who learned how to prepare healthy football snacks.  And Dan was the overall winner, so Curtis headed out to North Carolina to cook with Dave.

Dave was really surprised to see Curtis Stone show up at his house, and he confessed that he hadn’t been eating healthy since being back at home.  Curtis showed him some easy meals to make that would be filling, delicious, and healthy.  Dave was really surprised at how tasty the meal they made together was.

This week’s challenge revolved around the NFL with two-time MVP Kurt Warner, the quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, participating.  This week’s prize was immunity and a guarantee of being able to bring their partner back to the ranch.  To win, the players have to sprint down the field, picking up footballs, and putting them in other players’ bins.  Whenever a player has five balls in their bin, they are out.  The last person standing wins.  It came down to Helen and Joelle, but Helen beat her out and was happy that Shannon would be coming back to the ranch.

This week’s weigh-in waas the most important so far because it determined whose partner would be coming back to the ranch and who would be going home.  Surprisingly, their partners showed up before the weigh-in for a brief reunion.  In the end, father and son, Mike and Ron, fell below the yellow line with Dan.  Tara grew frustrated when Dave admitted he didn’t want to be on the ranch after Dan had worked so hard to get him there.  The votes were tied, and it all came down to Filipe.  He voted to send Dan and Dave home and give the brown team at least one more week.
