The miserable performance of one team during previous weekly challenges spurs them to not only work harder during work outs, but to work harder on the teammates relationships with each other. Faced with the challenge of an exhausting uphill climb, the red team follows Jillian on one of its most dangerous workouts to date. The week's victories and frustrations culminate in the most emotional weigh-in yet!

Every competitive reality series has a twist somewhere, and this tension-filled episode presents the remaining eight players with a new way to play. Following a shake up in the teams' composition, former adversaries find themselves aligned against common enemies in the beachside challenge. Later, even the weigh-in has a surprise; ultimately leading to the most shocking elimination to date.

The lucky seven remaining contestants receive Beverly Hills-style makeovers before participating in a professional photo shoot. But the great news that develops at the pedicab race is the surprise visit of family members who become precious cargo in the human-powered vehicles. Winning the race not only earns immunity at the weigh- in, but also means that contestant may spend the evening with their respective family. The amazing weight-loss by the players continues.
