02/26/2008 (08:00PM - 10:00PM) (Tuesday) : ONE TEAM SURPRISED WITH TRIP TO
VEGAS
The competition heats up as only eight players remain. One team is
surprised with a special trip to Las Vegas, but will they maintain their diets
and workouts in Sin City, or give in to temptation? Then, in a very emotional
elimination, one unsuspecting player makes the ultimate sacrifice for their
team.
Alison Sweeney is the host, and Bob Harper and
