Alison informs both teams that the person with the highest percentage of weight loss on this week's winning team will be able to provide immunity from elimination for one player on the opposing team. Everyone is gearing for this achievement as they will provide that immunity to their loved one on the opposing team. Alison also requests two volunteer leaders from each team without telling them what they will be required to do. It ends up being a gambling game, where the leaders bid on what percentage of weight they think they will lose this week, with the team making the final bid gaining a five pound weight advantage at the weigh-in if they make that weight goal. If they fail to make that weight goal, the opposing team wins a five pound advantage at the weigh-in. The final bid ends up surprising both teams, including the trainers, which leads to the two bidders having potential targets on their backs for elimination if they fail to make the weight loss goal. That weight loss goal stands heavy on the bidding team's mind throughout the week. That bid also results in a sometimes not so friendly competition between the teams, each accusing the other of childish behavior. This feud extends to the trainers, who each have problem team members with regard to focus during the workouts. Despite the trainers wanting to foster a unified team mentality, a major crack forms on the red team. The first team challenge of the season is truly a team effort in strength, endurance and visual puzzle solving ability, with each person on the winning team earning the Biggest Loser meal plan for six months after they go home. The result of the post weigh-in elimination vote turns out to be an inevitability after the first couple of votes and resulting discussion, which devolves into a finger pointing yelling session. Meanwhile, Dr. Huizenga speaks to half brothers Mike and Joe, perhaps the two unhealthiest people on the ranch, about their genetic disposition toward disease and their unrealistic mentality toward their respective lifestyles. And nutritionist Rachel Beller teaches the contestants how to go food shopping properly. She also visits Adrian and Daphne in Chicago to assist in their at-home food planning.
