We've got two weeks left on this season of The Biggest Loser, and at this point in the show there's always this huge challenge and a lot of scrambling before we determine who the final three is. Last season, the remaining four contestants returned home and went back to the ranch to run a full marathon. Well, you can say there's some sort of déjà vu working wonders right now.

On The Biggest Loser tonight, the four remaining contestants--Amanda, Danny, Liz and Rudy--go back home to reunite with their families and friends, and then go back to run a full marathon. Yep, I repeated what I said earlier, and I guess that is the point. Anyway, that's 26.2 miles of tough challenge goodness. But, of course, someone will be cheering them on: in this case, it's last season's winner Helen, plus finalists Tara and Mike. And Rudy also gets a special visitor. Why do I have a feeling I know who that person is?

Also, since it's their final week at the ranch, it's also time for the final last chance workouts! Their last chance for a last chance, I must say. Confusing, yes. Crucial, too, since tonight's weigh-in is very critical. The two contestants who make it above the yellow line have a one-in-three shot at winning the $250,000 prize. The other two who aren't so lucky and drop below the yellow line will leave their fate to us, the viewers, as again America gets the chance to vote who they want the third finalist to be.

And then, next week, the final, final weigh-in. I think this preview loves repeating things, doesn't it? The Biggest Loser returns tonight at a special time of 9pm--thank our President's press conference for that--on NBC.
