If it's any consolation, in the end, Tracey regretted her decisions to rile up The Biggest Loser.  Then again, that breakthrough moment she shared with Jillian, the this-is-not-just-a-game moment, probably came in too late.

So, after meeting politicians (air time!) and the White House chefs, the remaining contestants return back to the ranch for tonight's episode.  Usually after a vacation you get to rest a bit after the stresses of travel.  Well, this is The Biggest Loser, and it's not exactly known for resting.

For one, the contestants--who are now playing individually, by the way--will have to work harder since there will be a double-elimination next week.  Suddenly, that yellow line looked sooo good.  Of course, they can keep themselves safe by getting themselves an advantage at weigh-in, but that's once they get to deal with tennis balls, and lots of them.

But that doesn't mean they get a lie-in.  Tonight, teams head to the circus for their challenge: it's immunity for whoever jumps a lot of hoops.  Sounds fun because, hey, it's a circus!  It'll get Bob enjoying so much that the players do their last-minute workouts inside the circus with trapezes and all.

And then they return to the ranch to see Jillian get them through yet another last-minute workout.  I told you, it's no time for rest.

That, and two dramatic eliminations, on The Biggest Loser, tonight from 8pm on NBC.
