Notes Joe quit the competition in Week 3, elimination took place as normal however. In Week 10, the Black Team couldn't vote one player off. Instead, each member of the Red Team had one vote for any member of the Black Team they wanted to, except Emily, the Biggest Loser of the week with immunity. Mark voted twice in Week 11 as a reward from a challenge. In Week 14, Chris had the lowest percentage of weight loss, so she was eliminated after receiving 2 of the 4 votes. Kim was under the yellow line, but she had the higher percentage of the two so if there was a tie or just 2 votes Chris would get eliminated. And Christine was then eliminated.
