In an unexpected twist, all fourteen of the players eliminated so far in this season's The Biggest Loser will return to the ranch to surprise the final six contestants vying for the winning title. However, they'll be making more than just a guest appearance as their self-discipline and determination off-screen will be put to the test.
The 11th episode of season 5 focuses on the eliminated contestants as they weigh in and reveal how much effort they have put in on their own at home.

Update: The Biggest Loser Couples
Two of The Biggest Loser: Couples' previously eliminated contestants were brought back into the competition and no one was eliminated.
Ali posted the highest weight-loss percentage of the previously eliminated females and was reintroduced into the competition after initially being booted in Week 4.
"It felt amazing to know I was back in the game," said Ali. "I'm ready for it now. I wanted my second chance and I got it."
Mark posted the highest weight-loss percentage of the previously eliminated males and was reintroduced into the competition after initially being booted two weeks ago.
"I wanted to get back on this show more than I wanted to get on it originally," said Mark. "I'm back and I'm ready to finish what I started... This is my second chance. I'm not going to spoil it."

Texan:
Okay we all knew it was going to be mark... This should scare the rest as it brigns the brothers back together and brings back someone who is a strong competitor. Sounds like Ali has a vengance and does not care about making friends. But she should try and make an alliance to stay in the game

I agree Texan and wonder why the show would bring back two contestants and the two with the most weight loss.
I don't think anyone is happy to see them back competting but what can you do they are back.

Update: The Biggest Loser Couples
The contestants meet Alison at the mall and talk about the difficulties they faced as overweight people who wanted to shop in department stores. She surprised them with Project Runway’s fashion guru, Tim Gunn, to help them with their new looks. Though the contestants had some input, it was Gunn who had the final say in what they would wear for their photo shoots. Tim also gave them the good news that Macy’s was giving them their entire new look as well as a $1,000 gift card. When the contestants showed off their new looks on the runway, they were surprised by their loved ones, which brought them to tears.
When everyone arrived back at the ranch, a challenge awaited them. The contestants had to run backwards on treadmills which were suspended over a pool. The winner will receive a trip to a resort in Utah. Kelly fell first, followed by Dan. After that, Brittany hit the water as did Roger and Jay. Only Mark and Ali were left in the competition but it was Mark, the challenge kind, who prevailed and won that trip.
After a brutal last chance workout, it was time for the weigh in. Here are the numbers:
Ali: 5 pounds (3.13%)
Mark: 3 pounds (1.60%)
Dan: 8 pounds (3.86%)
Brittany: 2 pounds (1.16%)
Roger: 9 pounds (3.59%)
Jay: 3 pounds (1.44%)
Kelly: 3 pounds (1.49%)
Kelly barely squeaked by, leaving Brittany and Jay to fall below the yellow line. At the elimination ceremony, the blue team came together to save Jay and send Brittany home.
Brittany has been Eliminated
