Sixteen contestants hope to transform their bodies, health and lives; during the first challenge, a contestant has a health scare.

A challenge winner gets to divide the contestants into two teams; one contestant gives another a special gift; a difficult elimination results in another player being sent home.

Two teams head to the beach to dig for buried treasure; one team goes home to emotional reunions with loved ones, while the other tries to make the most of time alone on campus.

Fashion consultant Tim Gunn and hair stylist Tabatha Coffey help give the contestants makeovers; the contestants reveal their new looks to their loved ones; a contestant is sent home during a tense elimination.

Former contestants reveal how they look now and what they've been doing since they left the show; some former contestants reveal their struggle to maintain their weight loss, and others discuss the major milestones they have accomplished.

Contestants get an offer that is very hard to refuse; players face their first temptation, which will leave the winner with control over the weigh-in; an incline challenge tests the players' stamina; one contestant is eliminated.
