"We said goodbye to Chris on the last episode of The Biggest Loser, but pretty quickly it became clear this instalment would be must-watch TV as the trailer showed the contestants staging a walk-out! Yes, the contestants hear about a twist involving the eliminated contestants returning (&amp;quot;They do that every single season!&amp;quot; Bob Harper gasps in make-up when he hears about the mutiny.)  The walk-out is all portrayed very excitingly - at 8.30am an operator with a handheld camera discovers that they&amp;#039;re not in their rooms. Kim&amp;#039;s crying and shutting the camera out (and &amp;quot;nobody&amp;#039;s mic-ed!&amp;quot;), while Mark asks not to be followed. What&amp;#039;s more, the cameras in the bedrooms capture the group packing their bags... Supervising producer Joel Relampagos gets involved at 8.45am, telling Bob that everyone wants to quit. &amp;quot;That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever!&amp;quot; he gasps. By 8.55am, Conda, Jeremy, Mark and Buddy are saying they want to quit as exec producer Todd Lubin says it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;unfortunate&amp;quot;. But he promises to let them talk to legal... Dolvett Quince still doesn&amp;#039;t know what&amp;#039;s going on - it&amp;#039;s up to Bob to find him and tell him! Bob admits that it is &amp;quot;chaos&amp;quot; in the house but heads to speak to the contestants (who basically don&amp;#039;t want to talk). When he asks Kim to say something, she just shakes her head!  Buddy calmly says that they all respect Bob and Dolvett, but they&amp;#039;re not happy with the twist. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m never at a loss for words,&amp;quot; Bob gasps. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m literally just dumbfounded right now.&amp;quot; Buddy explains that there has to come a point when they &amp;quot;own&amp;quot; themselves - and he&amp;#039;s decided not to work out today. Dolvett - who says in confessional that this shouldn&amp;#039;t be as big a deal as everyone&amp;#039;s making out - explains that he&amp;#039;d like to keep working with his team. But Mark says it&amp;#039;s not about the two trainers - &amp;quot;This is a bigger thing.&amp;quot; Mark adds that he feels it&amp;#039;s unfair that someone who could have been home with their kids for 14 weeks could end up winning, and it &amp;quot;doesn&amp;#039;t seem right&amp;quot;. What&amp;#039;s more - he&amp;#039;s prepared to leave (&amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m totally packed, I&amp;#039;m good to go.&amp;quot;) Time to call the lawyers in! Alison Sweeney arrives with attorney Jeff Friedman to speak with each of the contestants individually. Jeremy says that &amp;quot;this is a matter of right and wrong&amp;quot;, adding: &amp;quot;In my heart, I feel like this is wrong.&amp;quot; But Jeff shows him the series rules and contract he signed, which says that contestants will definitely come back and will have a chance to win. Isn&amp;#039;t it unfair if they take that chance away from the eliminees?   Elsewhere, Kim&amp;#039;s in tears and explains that she wanted to compete with the people that deserve it - the ones that remain in the house. Buddy repeats what Mark said about people being home with their kids and now having a chance to win: &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s not a game I want to win. I don&amp;#039;t feel any pride about competing in that game.&amp;quot; And Mark acknowledges that there&amp;#039;s a trade - he gets the opportunity to lose weight and all the help, and in return he inspires people at home. But he says he&amp;#039;s not prepared to make that trade anymore. But will anyone follow through and go home? Jeremy&amp;#039;s struggling to know how to make the best decision, Conda&amp;#039;s feeling torn, and Kim admits that she&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;too overwhelmed&amp;quot; to work things out. But someone&amp;#039;s bags are packed and a van&amp;#039;s pulling up... Mark&amp;#039;s going home!  &amp;quot;For anybody out there that sees this and they just think, &amp;#039;Man, this guy just blew this opportunity, he threw this away&amp;#039;, I didn&amp;#039;t throw anything away,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m 11lbs from what I consider my life goal weight - that&amp;#039;s huge. But you know what, I&amp;#039;m just at a point where I&amp;#039;m done. I&amp;#039;m done with the twists and the turns and all that. I&amp;#039;ve got to stand for what I feel like is right. I know this isn&amp;#039;t going to be popular but it&amp;#039;s my decision. It&amp;#039;s what I had to do.&amp;quot; And he&amp;#039;s not the only one - Mark is followed by Buddy! &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m following my heart right now and I&amp;#039;m doing what I feel is right,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a part of me that&amp;#039;s upset because I didn&amp;#039;t ever see it ending this way - I just don&amp;#039;t like one of the game&amp;#039;s rules and for that I won&amp;#039;t play that week&amp;#039;s game. I just feel really strongly like I have to take a stand for this thing that I just feel shouldn&amp;#039;t be. I don&amp;#039;t feel like a quitter though I&amp;#039;m quitting the show.&amp;quot;  The remaining three contestants - Conda, Jeremy and Kim - decide to stay in the competition, explaining that they&amp;#039;ve worked too hard to leave. And to show that they&amp;#039;re sticking around, they all put their Biggest Loser shirts back on! Time to Work Out What with all that drama, we don&amp;#039;t even have time to see the Toughmudder Challenge the contestants took part in, so you can watch the video below:  But Alison arrives to talk to the contestants: this week&amp;#039;s excuse is &amp;quot;I lack motivation.&amp;quot; She&amp;#039;s got something to give them just that - the contestant that has the biggest percentage of weight loss this week will win a brand new SUV! That ought to help. What&amp;#039;s more, with only three contestants left, there&amp;#039;s no yellow line this week - there&amp;#039;s a red line, and the contestant that loses the least will automatically be sent home. &amp;quot;This is crunch time,&amp;quot; Jeremy declares. It&amp;#039;s time to get to work! Dolvett gets Kim and Jeremy sweating it out in the gym, promising to put all his &amp;quot;energy and focus&amp;quot; into their weight loss. &amp;quot;I breed winners!&amp;quot; he announces. Meanwhile, Bob takes a different tack with Conda - he shows her the fancy car she could win and then takes her on a little drive. But when they get out, Conda realises that&amp;#039;s not all that&amp;#039;s in store - she&amp;#039;s going to have to pull the car on a harness as Bob sits inside! Conda knows she can&amp;#039;t refuse, so she gets going, though she admits it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;hard&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I love the fact that I get to inflict pain on these contestants,&amp;quot; Bob jokes.  He adds later that he&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;impressed&amp;quot; with Conda: &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s not the most loved contestant we&amp;#039;ve had on this show but this girl has come through so much... Conda&amp;#039;s a really strong minded, physically capable woman.&amp;quot; Of course, after the car-pulling, he sets her off on another workout! There are more surprises in store - later, Bob and Dolvett gather the contestants and show them clips of their journey throughout the competition, including messages to themselves they recorded at the beginning. Kim admits that she doesn&amp;#039;t even recognise her former self, describing the show as the &amp;quot;most amazing experience ever&amp;quot;. Jeremy, meanwhile, says he&amp;#039;s dropped his walls and &amp;quot;opened up&amp;quot; more. And as for Conda, though she feels &amp;quot;embarrassed&amp;quot; about the way she acted, she&amp;#039;s proud of how far she&amp;#039;s come. The Weigh-In Time to get down to business - we need to get two finalists, after all! Conda&amp;#039;s first to take to the scales and tearfully admits that it would &amp;quot;mean the world&amp;quot; if she reached the finals - &amp;quot;I feel like that would just give me strength in myself.&amp;quot; Well, she&amp;#039;s lost 10lbs! &amp;quot;Conda has really evolved so much in this house,&amp;quot; Bob says. Kim&amp;#039;s next, and after her loss of just 2lbs last week she&amp;#039;s not sure whether she&amp;#039;ll get a good number or whether she&amp;#039;s plateaued. It&amp;#039;s the former - Kim loses an amazing 15lbs, a percentage of 9.26%! Bob&amp;#039;s mouth drops open as Dolvett applauds and Kim admits that she can&amp;#039;t breathe. &amp;quot;Talk about a woman that is determined and focused,&amp;quot; Dolvett says. &amp;quot;I love training you. I love that competitive tiger that&amp;#039;s inside of you.&amp;quot; Kim thanks him right back - he&amp;#039;s a great trainer, a wonderful person and a great friend, and she&amp;#039;s glad he&amp;#039;s in her life.  So either Conda or Jeremy is about to go home, then! To be safe, Jeremy (who says he worked out &amp;quot;harder than both of them&amp;quot; this week) needs to lose more than 12lbs... but he manages 10lbs. Conda immediately bursts into tears and says it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;unfair&amp;quot; - Jeremy should be there before her... or Kim! Ouch! She says he&amp;#039;s never had a bad number and deserves to be in the final.  But Jeremy says: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s fine. I have to face it - I didn&amp;#039;t lose what I needed to lose. It&amp;#039;s nobody&amp;#039;s fault I&amp;#039;m in this position... I lost 10 frigging pounds! Sometimes it doesn&amp;#039;t always pan out at the right time for you.&amp;quot; Dolvett admits that he feels &amp;quot;bad&amp;quot; Jeremy isn&amp;#039;t in the final but reminds him that he&amp;#039;s lost 150lbs and praises his progress. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve loved to see your personal growth,&amp;quot; he adds. &amp;quot;For that you&amp;#039;ve won in my mind.&amp;quot; So Conda and Kim are in the final - and Kim&amp;#039;s won the car, too! Unfortunately, Jeremy&amp;#039;s been eliminated. But wait - &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not over yet,&amp;quot; Alison says! She adds that there&amp;#039;s one more surprise (even though I think by now we all know what&amp;#039;s coming)... the eliminated contestants are back! We&amp;#039;ll have to wait until next week to see how that plays out... The Biggest Loser airs Tuesdays on NBC. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
