A recap for tonights episode:
The Biggest Loser: Families - Episode 5 Recap
Tonight’s episode of The Biggest Loser where last night’s left off – with Jillian freaking out on her team for being lazy and not doing the homework that they were assigned. Bob puts the competition aside for a minute to find out what happened from Jillian and agreed with her reaction and emotion in this situation. After being kicked out of the gym, Amy returns to continue working out, a move that Jillian calls a “good choice”. She reels her team back in, gets them back into a good workout mode, and counsels them through the issues that brought them to the show in the first place.
Tonight's episode takes us right to the weigh in and here are tonight's numbers from the scale:
Coleen: 3 pound loss (1.54%)
Michelle and Renee: 4 + 5 = 9 pound loss (1.95%)
Amy and Shellay: 5 + 4 = 9 pound loss (2.19%)
Amy and Phil: 5 + 3 = 8 pound loss (1.62%)
Heba and Ed: 8 + 0 = 8 pound loss (1.40%)
Vicky and Brady: 3 + 9 = 12 pound loss (2.30%)
Heba was excited that she lost 8 pounds, until she saw that Ed didn't lose anything this week. That means that one of them will have to go home while the other stays to continue their weight loss journey. At the elimination ceremony, the orange team reveals that Ed will be the one going home. Heba breaks down at the thought of having to go on without him but he feels that they've made the right decision.
Since leaving the show, Ed has lost 85 pounds. His ultimate goal is to weigh 180 pounds.

CONTESTANTS FACE LONGEST CHALLENGE EVER - FROM SUN UP TO SUNDOWN
This week, the contestants are left in the dark - literally - during a wild baked goods temptation, with the winner gaining considerable power that could completely change the competition. Later, host Alison Sweeney wakes the contestants up to gather them for the challenge, which will last from sun up to sundown - the longest challenge in Biggest Loser history. One contestant struggles with a decision about whether to stay at the ranch or go home, and then an elimination round sends another contestant packing.

An interesting article an interview with Ed:
Exclusive Interview: Ed Brantley of 'The Biggest Loser: Families'
This week, on The Biggest Loser: Families, the contestants and trainers were shocked when orange team member Ed Brantley failed to drop any pounds at the weigh in. His wife, Heba, lost 8 and started to celebrate until she noticed the zero on his side of the scale. Heba immediately started crying, saying that she couldn't be happy because she knew what the meant for their team: one of them was going home. In a new twist this season, the team with the lowest percentage of weight must decide which of them will go home and which of them will stay. Ed made the decision to remove himself from the competition so that Heba could soldier on but saying goodbye proved to be difficult for the husband and wife. Today, Ed spoke to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview about his decision and his weight loss - or lack there of.
Ed told BuddyTV that trying out for The Biggest Loser was all his wife's idea. "We drove to an open casting call," he said. "I was a little skeptical at first!" It didn't take long for Ed to get on board, especially with Bob Harper as his trainer. This week, rival trainer Jillian Michaels flipped out on her team when no one was doing the workouts of the homework she assigned. Jillian brought several of her team members to tears, a move Ed didn't agree with. "I feel like Jillian didn't motivate them the proper way," he admitted. "I don't think her reaction was justified."
When host Alison Sweeney asked Ed why he didn't lose any weight, he had no answer for him. All this time later, he still isn't sure what went wrong. "The body can betray you sometimes," he said. "I probably lost fat, but gained a lot of muscle that canceled it out." Ultimately, he did decide that he would be the one to leave but it was very difficult for him to walk out that door without his wife. "It was the hardest thing I have ever done- leaving Heba behind," he told BuddyTV. However, he said that he was glad he wasn't voted out of the game. "I was glad we got to make the decision to eliminate ourselves."
Since leaving the show, Ed has lost 85 pounds. His ultimate goal is to weigh 180 pounds. Ed says that he learned many things from Bob and The Biggest Loser, mainly that "social calendar is less important. The temptation to eat nice dinners all the time is easier to resist," he said.
