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.

The six remaining players learn that all teams are dissolved so they can all go head-to-head against each other in competitions. This week's temptation puts each of the trainers atop dunk tanks. And the challenge has contestants using a giant "jump rope machine" with a flimsy "rope" that easily breaks if stepped on. Also, one contestant surprises the group with a new look, and two of them have a showdown.

The guys open up and share their dreams before all five remaining contestants take on a nightmarish endurance challenge. By wrapping their arms and legs around a one-foot diameter tube suspended before them above a swimming pool, they hang on as long as they can. The last one to fall makes a splash as the winner of this event.
