Tonight’s episode of The Biggest Loser took place in Washington D.C.  While at the nation’s capitol the nine remaining contestants along with Jillian and Bob meet with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (New York) and Senator Robert Casey (Pennsylvania) to talk about the need for better health and nutrition education, especially in schools.

Alison meets the contestants in D.C. and announces  that they are now competing as individuals. She also tells them they are going to have 60 minutes to get the most people together in front of the Washington Monument for a public workout with trainers Jillian and Bob. The winner will have a huge advantage at this weeks challenge and will get to take their whole group of people to Subway for dinner.  Liz is the winner, beating Allen by one person.

Then the players engage in a wild four-part challenge involving iconic D.C. landmarks, the last person standing wins immunity for the weigh-in.  Liz has the option of skipping one of the first three parts as her reward for winning the pop challenge, it didn’t help she was eliminated during the third part of the challenge.  The forth part of the challenge came down to Rudy and Rebecca, with Rebecca winning immunity.  

The contestants are then given the amazing opportunity to visit the White House.  While at the White House they prepare a healthy and delicious salad using the vegetables they picked from Michele Obama’s personal garden.  They prepare the salad in the White House kitchen with Sam Kass, Assistant White House Chef and White House executive chef Cristeta Comerford.
