It’s finally Makeover Week on the Biggest Loser ranch! This is the week that every Biggest Loser contestant wants to make it to. Alison surprises the six remaining contestants with a $1,000 gift card to go shopping wherever they choose to pick out new clothes that can compliment their new bodies. Each contestant goes into a store and tries on clothes they never thought they could fit into, but are now for the first time realizing that all of the hard work was worth it.<\/p>\n

\nAlison then gives the contestants and their families one more surprise. She brings in a Grammy award-winning guest who has sold over 20 million records, and has scored many acting spots – Ashanti. She comes out and performs her single “Shine” to the contestants, reminding them not to care what others think of them, and to embrace in the moment and “shine.”\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The contestants face a challenge where each must climb a Jacobs Ladder for as long as possible, 10 feet above a pool. The winner will receive a one pound advantage, and the loser will receive a one pound disadvantage. Koli Palu<\/a> wins after an amazing two and a half hours, and unfortunately for pink team member Ashley Johnston<\/a>, she falls after only three and a half minutes, gaining the one pound disadvantage.<\/p>\n

The weigh-in pulls in high numbers for some of the contestants. But for some, the weight loss is just not enough to stay above the yellow line. Sam Poueu<\/a> and Michael Ventrella<\/a> fall below. With Sam having already reached his goal weight, he is eliminated from the game with two votes.<\/p>\n
