Derek Jeter and Chef Curtis Stone on Tonight’s Biggest Loser

It’s an intense week on “The Biggest Loser” when the contestants learn from host Alison Sweeney that they will each face off against a player from the opposing team at weigh-in. The winner of the pop challenge gains considerable control by getting to choose who faces off against whom. Then New York Yankee and four-time World Series champ Derek Jeter gives the players a pep talk about the importance of teamwork before they embark on a wild baseball challenge. The challenge winner then gets a delicious and healthy Mediterranean meal prepared by acclaimed chef Curtis Stone. Later, one player breaks a “Biggest Loser” record at weigh-in, and then the contestants say goodbye to one of their own in the most emotional elimination so far of this season. Trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.

NASCAR’s Clint Bowyer guests stars on The Biggest Loser

In part one of this week’s two-part challenge, contestants divide the amount of weight they’ve lost so far among their opponents, with many ganging up on the player they feel is the strongest competitor. For part two of the challenge, the players head to the racetrack where they’ll meet NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer. Then each contestant will pull a two-ton car – plus the weight added on from part one of the challenge — for almost a quarter of a mile! Also, the competition goes to singles this week and contestants are given their original colored shirts to wear for the rest of the competition. And later, one contestant breaks “Biggest Loser” records at a weigh in that finds several players hitting big milestones. Alison Sweeney is the host, and trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.

The Biggest Loser airs Tuesdays from 8:00 PM-10:00 PM EST on NBC.
