After falling below the red line again in The Biggest Loser Season 15 Episode 5, Craig was eliminated. That was not all, though. The producers threw all subtlety out the window and came up with some excuse, any excuse, no matter how lame, to bring Ruben back to the show, opting to call Jillian a cheater rather than just letting his time come as it should have. The manipulation was so ridiculous and blatant that I’m pretty sure NBC gave the reigns to the producers of Big Brother for the week.
The winners of tonight’s challenge will receive $1,000 each. Each team will have to take balls, race them 250 feet, and bounce them to a teammate on the other side of the bridge, who must then bounce them into baskets of varying points. First team to 30 will win. As David gets into a rhythm, the red team starts running away with the challenge, reaching 15 points by the time the others have 8. They easily end up retaining this lead and winning.
Bob’s team is dominating, while Dolvett’s team is newly rejuvenated. Then there’s Jillian team, which is slowly getting decimated.
Now that they’re about half way through the process, they get to watch their original videos, allowing themselves to see a clear amount of progress that has been made over the course of the past couple of months. Everybody has a sad story, including David, who in his early 40s has already gone through the death of a spouse.
Season 14 winner Danni comes to bring them lunch. From Subway, of course. Since leaving the show, she has become a Subway spokesperson and run a marathon.
Now we get to why they brought Ruben back. He meets with well known music producer David Foster to do some singing. No way they risk missing this opportunity like they did before.

Red team had a lackluster performance until one person hit a homerun. It took 6 weeks, but the blue team finally lost a weigh in. Bob says he wanted to save his save for Chelsea, but he has decided she does not need protection. Matt has been saved. Why bother with a save if all three trainers use it the first chance they get?
