Well, here it is: makeover week!  It's that tradition on The Biggest Loser where the contestants who were lucky enough not to be eliminated early get a new look from fashion and style experts--and, as for us, we get a new way at looking at these people whose change has brought them a pretty long way.  And not just us, too: there's always the bit at the end when the contestants show off their new looks to family and friends, and it's bound to be pretty emotional.

Tonight, the six remaining contestants--Allen, Amanda, Danny, Liz, Rebecca and Rudy--will be giving speeches about their weight loss journey at an event for TV Guide Magazine, and they have to look their best, of course.  Cue Project Runway fashion guru Tim Gunn, and Tabatha's Salon Takeover host Tabatha Coffey, who come in to give the usual makeovers and prepare them for the event.  And then they see their loved ones at the end, and you know what happens next.

But that's not all there is to tonight's episode.  Of course, one more contestant will be eliminated, but not before a high-flying challenge which will earn the winner a two-week trip at The Biggest Loser's own resort at Fitness Ridge in Utah.  And then the weigh-in will be pretty tense--just what you'd expect when you've come this far, or when someone decides to play the whole thing again.

Oh, you might also want to watch out for a little segment with the folks of OneRepublic.  Contrary to what they say, it's not too late to apologize.  The Biggest Loser returns tonight at a special time of 8:30pm on NBC.
