After the commercial break we were in the common room of the ranch with Dr. H. He said he had the sickest and most at risk group of players he has ever had on the show. He said that they were all on the cusp of having a life changing event because of their weight. Patty on the purple team cried when she admitted she had diabetes for 20 years and did nothing about that fact. Dr. H. then passed out cards to the white team with what he called a “medical task.” They had to simulate what it would be like for a thin man to carry around the weight he had on his body. Bob Harper then put on weights that were not even equal to the weight that Michael was carrying around on his body. Mike said he needed to get rid of the weight once and for all. Bob Harper said he was there to help him.

The next team to have a medical task was the Purple Team. Dr. H. had them watch a video of Dr. H. at their home. On the video Dr. H. was at their home speaking to her sister and interviewing them about the impact the obesity had on their family members. The father was shown crying about how hard it would be for his daughter to die before him. He then said that if his wife died he would be so sad and upset. The purple team said they now knew what they had to do.

The Red Team was told to calculate the cost of the weight they carried on their bodies. The Red Team couple said he lost his job diving because he was a commercial diver and had to stop doing it because he was too fat to wear the dive suit. Outside the ranch front door an armored car pulled up and said because of their weight they were throwing away 3 million dollars. He then opened the doors to the truck and there was 3 million dollars in cash on pallets to demonstrate how much money they were not going to get because they would die young and be underemployed.

The Orange Team was next and their challenge was to watch how their old unhealthy diet would affect a healthy person. Jillian then had to analyze what would eat in a day and eat of their meals. Jillian then sat down and had silver food trays covered and had to reveal each meal and then eat one of the meals. Jillian then opened up the domes and was disgusted the foods they used o eat. There were lots of fried foods and Mexican foods and Jillian said that she could kill them for eating so poorly. Jillian asked why they ate those foods. Jillian picked through what was sort of a cheese nacho dip-, she had to stop and spit it out. Jillian said it was gross and they had to become proactive and prepare their food ahead of time. Jillian flipped the lid over and said you will spend all your time on the Earth in your one body and this was not food. She said they had to make a change or they would never get healthy.

There was then a challenge as the players walked into a large swimming pool area and Allison said they all had to walk across a balance beam 40 feet long and put balls on the other side. The winners had an immunity prize and the losers were going to have two pound disadvantage. Maria did not know how to swim and she was scared of the challenge. The balance beam was only a few inches across and the players were falling off all over the place. Each team had to travel the 3.5 inch beam after traversing 40 feet over the pool and deposit their beach ball Maria from the White Team went into tears because she was so afraid. Players were falling in the water more than they were getting across the pool. The Black Team was the one that took the lead and the Red Team was right behind them. Andrea said immunity was so close she could taste it and then after she fell in the water the Red Team caught up and then The Red Team won. She was so happy she screamed. Orange came in 3rd place and The Pink Team was next. Green soon followed while the Gray trailed next. The Purple Team were next and were very proud of the fact they finished and did not come in last. Mom of the White Team went into such a panic over the beam that she fell and landed on her face on the floor. Blood went everywhere and the medics from off camera rushed out to her aid. She was led off camera with blood coming out of her nose and to an ambulance that took her to the hospital. Allison then said that since the White Team did not finish the challenge, they were deemed the losers of the challenge. They were the ones that would enter into the weigh in with a 2 pound disadvantage.

Soon we saw Bob Harper chew out Mike because he left the challenge and went to the hospital with his Mom. Bob said she had professionals and she was taken care of and he should have been worried about himself. Bob said he needed to get some self esteem and winning that challenge would have helped him esteem which he was sorely lacking. Next we saw Jillian corner the Mom that fell (Maria) and ask her questions. Jillian said she had to face her fears and that her situation with the 2 pound disadvantage was as bad as it could get. Jillian said that her fear of getting hurt is what made her get hurt. Jillian said that she had to face her fears and now it was time to face her fear of water. Jillian took her in the pool and had her floating. She was crying and Jillian told her that the only thing she had to do that crippled her through the course of her life. Jillian had her swimming the dog paddle and Maria exited the pool proud of the fact that she had even gone in the pool.

The second hour started with Dr. H. show them on a TV screen a MRI of their torso. Dr. H. Then showed them the 3.5 inches of body fat before they saw her intestines. He then told her that she was sicker than 98% of the people in her age group. Dr. H. then told Darrell that he was a mess and he needed to make a change or he would die. Dr. H. then sat down with Maria of the White Team and said she was the most out of shape person ever on the show. He then told her that she had a 33% chance of contracting diabetes in the next 5 years. Dr. H. then said that if Mike did not lose weight, he would die. He had a screen that showed him how crammed his lungs were in his chest covered by all the fat. Dr. H. said that if he wanted to live, he needed to change.

The Orange Team then was told that Cheryl had an inner age of 75, despite being only 51. Dr. H. said that obesity and the cigarettes were the worst duo to have. Her son told her that she had to quit smoking because she was going to die. Next were the Gray Team and a video of them sleeping. He showed him that he move 100 times an hour, per night. He showed them that the fat caused a condition called sleep apnea and that resulted in his airways becoming obstructed while he slept. The weight is what caused the airway to become constricted and he had to move to get air. This would result in him moving which deprived him f REM sleep and thus, he would always be tired. The Pink Team was then shown that Ashley was age 27 and her bodies age was 67. Dr. H. told her that she was so obese that her body could not handle it anymore. Dr. H. then abruptly told her she was a diabetic. He said it really cold and it had maximum impact as Ashley just started to cry. The show then went to a commercial showing Ashley crying on the back porch in the distance.

The Red Team was then seen walking into the weigh in telling America that it was last chance workout and the sweat was just dripping off the players. Bob said that week 2 was always hard to get the weight off. Jillian said she would rather have needles stuck in her eye before she would be in a last chance work out. Bob told the players to get their hands off the tread mill. We then heard that last chance workout was an all day event. It was a non-stop exercise event. Ashley was afraid at others thinking her as weak. She said she always gave up when it got tough and now she was not going to quit. Ashley said that she was planting a seed to lose weight and now that seed was growing and she was no longer the weak one in the house.

The weigh in then started with the teams walking to the gym and the awaiting scale. Allison greeted them and restated how notorious the week 2 weigh in had been on seasons past. The Red Team then went up to weight in first, since they had immunity. The weigh in results were as follows:

Red Team: Melissa 214 / 215 gained 1 pound. Lance 344 / 366 lost 8 pounds. Team total was 7 pounds lost. 1.25%
Bob then said that Melissa should just admit that she was playing the game. Bob wished she would just admit that she was playing the game. Melissa pretty much admitted she drank water so she would have easy numbers for next week, by making this weeks numbers a weight gain.

The team that fell below the yellow line was the Purple Team. Either Pattie or Stephanie were going to leave. The Mother Pattie pleaded the case to send her home and let her daughter stay on the ranch. The Mom
said she had a support system at home and the daughter did not, so they pleaded to send home the daughter Patti.

The vote started with the players walking around the pool and into the vote room. The vote went as follows:

Brown Team: Voted for Patti
Pink Team: Voted for Patti
White Team: Voted for Patti

The person voted off The Biggest loser Ranch on January 12 2010 was Purple Team member Patti.

The Biggest Loser Transformation Moment began with Patti telling America how proud she was of herself for proving she could do what she set out to do. At the start of the show she weighed 243 pounds and today she weighed in at 200 pounds. She spoke of how her husband went for dancing lessons and they were more active as a family. Dr. H. then paid a follow-up visit to Patti at home and learned was that she was no longer on 9 medications and now it was much less. He said she was much better off today than she was at the start of the show.

The show then ended.
