The contestants have been competing as teams for nearly two months, and nobody wants to let their team down. This week, however, is all about not letting the trainers down.

Jessie takes Lori out onto the softball field to tap into her inner athlete and why she's at the ranch. Lori was the first woman in Olympic history to throw a no-hitter and played in three Olympics, but hasn't set foot on a field in ten years. Lori puts on her USA jersey, steps out onto the mound, and pitches another no-hitter against Jessie. It feels amazing to still be able to throw the ball hard, and she doesn't think she could have done that seven weeks ago.

At the Challenge, Dolvett, Jessie and Jen sit on diving boards high above a pool. Three members from each team must hold up 15% of their combined weight in order to keep their trainers from falling in. If the entire team lets go of the rope, the weight hits a target and the trainer falls into the water. The first team to drop their trainer loses him or her for the whole week. The second team to drop their trainer only gets to see them for the Last Chance Workout.

The White Team sits out Sonya and Woody, which means Toma, Rondalee and JJ are competing and must hold up 126 pounds. The Red Team sits out Blake, meaning Rob, Scott and Jordan will hold up 145 pounds. The Blue Team only has three players, so Damien, Jackie and Lori are all competing, and have to hold up 127 pounds.

Scott is the first to drop after 34 minutes, followed by Jordan. This leaves the Red Team's fate in Rob's hands. Unfortunately, Rob can't hold on anymore and Dolvett drops. Rob freaks out - he thinks without Dolvett this week, he'll be the one going home.

JJ and Toma drop next, leaving just Rondalee for the White Team. But she can't hold on any longer and drops, which means the Blue Team wins! Not one of their members let go of their rope, and they finally take down the undefeated White Team.

Scott feels like he let the Red Team down by being the first to fall, but without Dolvett this week, he is determined to lead his team to victory by example. The White Team is worried about only having Jen for one day and don't want to let her down.

Over at Comeback Canyon, Bob has created an obstacle course to challenge Matt and Gina. The course is a team effort, which means Matt can't just do everything on his own and must learn to work with a partner. Gina is working on not being anxious and afraid, and Bob wants her to be confronted by scary exercises to prove to herself how strong she is. Both model and mom step up and impress Bob with their hard work and collaboration.

Unfortunately, only one can stay. Bob talks about the two contenders, saying Matt lost 16 pounds last week, so he could be at a disadvantage, while Gina lost so little the past two weeks, she may have an advantage. Gina is up first and loses a mere three pounds. Matt needs to lose five or more pounds to keep his comeback alive. Matt steps on the scale and only loses two pounds, meaning Gina is safe for another week! Matt walks out with his head held high and considers this experience a blessing. He vows that the next time America sees him, he will have his six-pack abs back.

At Last Chance Workout, Jen returns to whip the White Team into shape before weigh-in. She calls it the Only Chance Workout, and pushes them harder than ever. Jessie has the Blue Team work with punching bags that weigh the amount they have each lost since coming to the ranch. The players cannot believe they used to carry around all that weight and feel incredible about their progress thus far.

At the weigh-in, it's time to see whether the Blue Team can sweep Week 7, or whether the other teams can prove they can do it on their own. The Red Line is also in play again this week, meaning the player on the losing team with the lowest percentage of weight loss will automatically be sent home.

The Red Team is up first, and it's time to find out how they did without Dolvett. Rob steps on the scale and loses nine pounds. At 396 pounds, he's excited to say goodbye to the 400s and can't believe he weighed 501 when he first looked at the Biggest Loser website. Jordan and Scott both lose seven pounds, followed by Blake who loses five, hitting her goal of weighing 199 pounds! The Red Team's total is 28 pounds, or 2.39% of their combined weight.

The Blue Team is up next and needs to lose more than 20 pounds. Lori is up first and loses five pounds, followed by Jackie who loses a mere two. Once again, it's all up to Damien, who must lose more than 13 pounds to keep his team safe. Damien steps on the scale and loses five, meaning the Blue Team lost a total of 12 pounds, 1.42%. Jessie is upset and thinks he needs to reevaluate how he's training his team.

The White Team is up last, and must lose more than 20 pounds, despite only having Jen for one day. JJ drops a solid seven, while Toma and Woody only lose four. Rondalee is up next and posts just two pounds, which means Sonya has to lose at least four to save her team. Sonya steps on the scaleā€¦ and loses six pounds! She is elated to have been able to pull through for her team. Their grand total is 23 pounds, 1.62%.This means that despite their challenge win, the Blue Team has lost and must face the Red Line. Sadly, it's Jackie's time to leave the ranch, as she only lost 0.79% of her body weight. She is at peace with that, and is so proud to go home to be a role model to her two girls. Now the Blue Team is down to two players... what will happen to them next week?
