On tonight's episode, The Biggest Loser contestants panic when they find out that the campus is shutting down until they find out that the reason is because they're going to Jamaica.  Some are excited for the trip and the experience and others dread putting on a bathing suit.  The trainers will go too and help the contestants work on their diets and training.

In Jamaica, Bryan is missing from his team because Kim kept him back due to chest pains.  Just to be safe, he is sent to the hospital where tests are run to determine the status of his health. Back on the island, the trainers try to help the contestants make smart food choices at a buffet.  Everyone sits down as Alison shares her own weight struggles in relationship to her television career.  Jillian and Jez get into a fight after he disobeys her request that he not drink.

The trainers take their teams to do different vacation workouts.  Kim works the red team out in the pool, Bob uses yoga on the blue team, and Jillian goes nuts on the beach with her black team.  It's no wonder that her team is still in tact.  At the reward challenge, the winning team will get a massage while the losing teams will have to work out again.  Bryan rejoins his red team in Jamaica and is cleared to continue in the game.

The reward challenge proves to be difficult for everyone.  Teams must balance on rafts and pull themselves by rope back to shore.  Bill gets his black team off to a great start while the red and blue teams can't seem to move forward one foot.  The black team absolutely runs away with it, leaving the blue team having yet to win a competition.  Before the black team heads for their massages, Jillian gives them a tough last chance workout.  No relaxing massage for the other two teams, just long hours working out.

At the weigh in, the trainers disagree on the issue of alcohol in Jamaica.  The black team heads to the scale first.  Isabeau loses 8 pounds, Bill loses 6 pounds, Jez drops 6 pounds, Julie loses 4 pounds which brings her under 200 pounds, Jim gets rid of 7 pounds, and Hollie drops 8 pounds.  The red team is next to get on the scale.  David has lost 9 pounds despite having a drink on the trip.  Despite landing in the hospital, Bryan drops 11 pounds.  The red team seems to be doing well in this weigh in.

Amy continues the red team's impressive weigh in, dropping 10 pounds and Phil, the team captain, loses 12 pounds.  This puts the red team in first.  Last to go tonight is the blue team.  Ryan loses 10 pounds, Nicole loses 6 pounds, Kae drops 7 pounds, and Neil sheds 10 pounds.  They beat the black team, sending them into elimination for the first time.

As the biggest loser for the week, Hollie is safe from being eliminated.  There's talk among the black team about voting out one of the twins.  At elimination, Alison mentions that the twins will celebrate a birthday the following day and they have never not celebrated together.  The black team decides to eliminate Jim, leaving Bill to celebrate his birthday and fight to stay in this competition alone.  Since leaving the show, Jim has lost 69 pounds, bring his current weight loss total to 123 pounds.

Check back later this week as BuddyTV talks to Jim about life on The Biggest Loser campus, competing with his brother, and celebrating his birthday alone.
