Episode 1:

The contestants arrive at the ranch to be welcomed by Caroline Rhea. She first tells them that they completed their first task: walking up the big hill to the mansion. Then they walk into the mansion and have a 30-minute chow down fest. After that, a trip to the fitness room and a meet and greet with the scale. Caroline then divides them into men and women and announces that they are going to be teamed up like that.

It's now time for the first weigh-in. It's only a starting point. Some of their weights are as follows:

Ryan: 225
Ruben: 278
Shannon: 257
Seth: 291
Jen: 267
Suzanne: 229

Total weights are:
1642 for the women
2383 for the men

Lowest percentage of weight lost loses the weigh-in and will have to vote a member off their team. The winner recieves $250,000.

The contestants leave the gym to head back to the mansion. All of a sudden...

CUE JILLIAN AND BOB! Bob's with the women (blue team) and Jillian's with the men (red team). Jillian can't believe that she's with a team of men. Bob says "Help."

*commerical*

Bob and Jillian get a peek at the full teams for the first time. Jillian can't get over the fact that she's coaching seven men who weigh 400 pounds. Bob says he's never trained seven women. They're in for adventure. Bob talks to the women. Kathryn (217) said he's a Yoda. Jillian talks to the women. Seth needs someone to keep him working. Bob and the girls are going up a mountain. The men are running on pavement. If they suck, pushups. Bob and the girls make it to the top of the mountain. They start celebrating. Now up steeper. Guys are in for it. "What the hell is going on up there! This is not the girls' team!" says Jillian. She's the "chief". She's working out until the sun goes down. Matt pukes three times.

The men talk about their lives. What they do, how much they weigh, what their goal weight are. Matt (339) was a state champion in wrestling. He starts crying. He's never felt physical pain before until now. Jillian tells him not to beat himself up anymore. Matt says the talk with her made a difference. Jillian says this is where the change starts.

Internet was being a jerk.

But the men won the challenge (collecting colored balls in a weightless chamber) and deducted five pounds from the women's total. Even with the five taken off, the women had the most amount of body fat lost and therefore won the weight-in. Ruben got voted out.

Mandoli:
Second episode, mini-recap:

The remaining contestants get back to the mansion, only to see tables with letters from home and platters. Either you skip out on the letter, or you read the letter and eat a platterful of food. Nobody took the tempation (smart cast!).

Then you see everyone taking up balancing. This would be for the weigh-in challenge. The object was to get across a shaky beam over the water. The first team to make it over the beam would get to read the letter from home...and earn an extra day of exercise. (They would weigh-in 24 hours after the losing team.) The women won this challenge.

Men weigh in that night. They lose a total of 51 pounds and lose about three percent of their total weight. The next night, the women need to lose 33 pounds in order to win the weigh-in. They get...not even close. The men win. A woman is going home.

At the vote-off point in the show, the women vote out Kathryn. She is the second one to go home. 12 contestants remain.

On the next episode, the men are working as a team, while the women are falling apart.
