The past couple of weeks on The Biggest Loser has been a little bit about the game, of people getting bitten because of overplaying it, and people who do the same thing despite the warnings. But that gets banished tonight, sort of: it‘s makeover week! Perfect time to look at the six remaining contestants in a different way, from people who are constantly sweaty after their workouts, to those who exude confidence... but still have to be sweaty after their workouts.

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.

Daniel Wright‘s a pretty big presence on The Biggest Loser--and no, it‘s not supposed to be a pun.  After all, he was part of the show last season, and joined again this season, vowing to finish what he had started.  This time, however, things didn‘t exactly go well, and as his weight loss began to fluctuate unlike the others, his fellow contestants began to consider voting him off since he‘s already been given his second chance.  Still, his elimination last night was pretty drastic, too: he was cut after dropping below the newly-introduced red line.

For a moment, I thought, Tracey‘s elimination on The Biggest Loser last week would mean the end to devious game-playing tactics this season.  Well, I was wrong.  This week saw some tactics that would usually put a frown on my face.

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.

From this moment onward, the nation‘s capitol is your ranch.On The Biggest Loser tonight, the nine remaining contestants head to Washington, D.C. and, well, do a lot of stately working out.  There‘s a lot of touring, a lot of sightseeing, and a lot of people-meeting, including senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Robert Casey, who‘ll discuss the need for better health and nutrition education in schools, as well as White House executive chef Cristeta Comerford and chef Sam Kass.

For all the flying tempers this week, it all ended up being an emotional episode.The Biggest Loser enters face-off week this week, with members of the Blue Team facing off against the members of the Black Team just to stay safe in the competition.  The catch this time around, is that one team gets to choose who they face off against.  It‘s a challenge that‘s a bit like limbo, but not really--but what the heck, the important bit is, the Blue Team won, albeit barely, since the whole thing was pretty close.

First up, the expected stuff: New York Yankee Peter Jeter will pop up on tonight‘s episode of The Biggest Loser, giving everybody in the ranch a pep talk before they get into a pretty crazy baseball challenge.  Whoever wins that challenge gets a treat from another guest--oh, the ever-so-reliable Curtis Stone, and one of his scrumptiously healthy Mediterranean meals.

There‘s not much of the this-is-freaking-annoying drama on The Biggest Loser this week: instead, we get the usual aww-shucks moments, thanks to the challenge.  Well, maybe we have to mention Tracey crying after the Blue Team returned minus Mo, who was eliminated last week.  Sure, he wanted to leave too, but I still think it‘s got deeper undertones.  Oh, the tears, Tracey.
