- Following the latest weigh-in when Moses was voted the next eliminated contestant, the remaining eight head to Queentown, New Zealand, where they learn they are now competing as singles who have access to all the trainers, including Brett. The adventure nature of their stay in New Zealand continues with a few doing the canyon swing, a few doing a rock climb, and a few doing a bungee jump - including one who usually watches such things from the sidelines - where the activity originated. One contestant makes an admission about a previous near death experience which makes doing the adventure more poignant. The adventure challenge is one of river riding, the winner to receive two rewards, one being immunity at this week's weigh-in. The trainers work the contestants particularly hard because of the fact of them still traveling which takes its toll on the body, as well as the generally poor results from last week. Regardless of the weigh-in results, the contestants relish the spectacular nature of the weigh-in's setting.—Huggo
- Open in Queenstown, New Zealand with the contestants and trainers meeting Alison on the beach. This week the series will convert to singles competition. We get a discussion of the emotions related to returning to the first color they wore on the show. All trainers will be working with all the contestants and a parachute lands with Brett.
This week the trainers will be taken contestants on special adventures. Cara picks Hannah and Kaylee to attempt the world's highest cliff jump. The jump is from 358 feet up and jumpers reach 93mph. A reluctant Cara is first to jump and all three get something from the experience.
At the week's first workout there is a lot of discussion of the disappointing weigh-in everybody had last week. Brett's focusing on Kaylee. Olivia is a little grouchy at Rulon for writing her name down last week even when Moses asked everyone to send him home.
Hannah tells Cara she's worried about going home to what she's thinks is a bad support system. She doesn't want to be the "same old Hannah."
Alison tells the gang about their next challenge. They will river board half a mile down a river. The winner wins both a helicopter tour of Milford Sound and individual immunity. For some reason at that point Alison bungee jumps.
The temperature of the water causes the contestants trouble, as does the current of the river. Olivia gets out to a huge lead while Austin (who can't swim) is in last. Irene begins having cramping problems and gets passed by Kaylee and Rulon and falls to fourth. Kaylee pushes her near the end but ultimately Olivia hangs on for the win.
Olivia brings Hannah on the trip. The two share thoughts on how far they've come and both are emotional.
Brett talks to Austin and Jay about getting a second chance, something with which Jay can obviously relate. He's picked them to go on an adventure, in this case a climb to the top of a mountain side. They reach the top and love the experience.
Bob's paired up with Rulon and Irene for the adventure. He's selected bungee jumping. Irene is pretty scared but eventually makes the jump. Rulon tells Bob that today is the fourth anniversary of his plane accident. Bob eventually talks him into it.
Next up are the last chance workouts. Brett decides he want to teach some of the girls Capoeira, a martial art which combines dance and self-defense. Jay says he like the sense of responsibility that comes with being alone this week. Kaylee talks about believing in herself without her dad around.
Bob thinks he's hearing too many people say they are tired. Hannah talks about being mentally fatigued.
Time for the weigh-in: Alison reviews the week and reminds us that the two players below the yellow line will be voted on. The immune Olivia is on the scale first and comes in at 168, down four pounds for the week.
Jay is the first at-risk contestant on the scale. He comes in at 265, down five pounds from the previous week. He is relieved and feels this is a turning point. Up next is Irene. She's lost four pounds (to 157) and is pleasantly surprised. Rulon is next, needing to have lost at least eight pounds to beat first-place Irene and be safe. He's lost ten pounds (to 301) and is in first overall. Bob calls him a "force in this house."
Next on the scale is Austin. To beat Irene and be safe he needs to have lost at least seven pounds. He's down just five (to 250), but doesn't seem all that worried about it given the surroundings. That means Irene is now safe. Ken takes the scale needing to have lost at least five pounds to be safe. He's comes up just short, losing four pounds (to 243). He isn't happy. With two people left to weigh-in Austin is now safe this week
Hannah is up next. She needs to have lost at least four pounds to be safe. She comes up one pound shy, losing three pounds (to 161) and immediately starts to cry. She says she's done everything she can do each week. Hannah's percentage means Jay is definitely safe and Ken will definitely be below the yellow line.
It will either be Hannah or Kaylee facing elimination with Ken this week. Kaylee (who Alison reminds us has lost two pounds combined in the last five weigh-ins) needs to have lost at least four pounds. She does it, dropping five pounds (to 163). She is emotional and says she needed to have her father away to stand on her own feet. This means Ken and Hannah will be voted on this week.
Alison leaves the two contestants make their case. Ken says his "destiny" is to fight and talks about feeling accepted by a group for the first time in his life. He is very emotional. Hannah talks about improving her self-image and says she needs more help. Kaylee says it will be a particularly tough decision for her. She related to Hannah but has been friends with Ken.
Obviously Austin casts his vote for Hannah and Olivia votes for Ken. Irene says Hannah is "like my sister" and votes for Ken. Kaylee votes for Hannah, saying she has confidence she'll finish anything she starts. Jay also thinks Hannah has what it takes to be successful but since Hannah helps bring him back he votes for Ken. That is three votes for Ken, and since he had the lower weight loss this week we don't need to hear from Rulon.
In the at-home vignette we see that Ken has lost another five pounds since leaving the show.
