This week's The Biggest Loser started out on a great note when I explained that it was "All for One" week and that the contestants would all work together for immunity.
Introducing Bingo, Sunny and Lindsay was another great moment. When the kids rocked the nutrition quiz and the physical challenges it was awesome and made me so proud that the show took on childhood obesity and is making a difference with the kids this season.
Then the gym happened. Gina vs. Joe. Jillian vs. Dolvett and Bob. By the time we got to this week's challenge, the tensions were high and the mood of the contestants was definitely different. I didn't realize exactly why until I saw footage of what happened in the gym.

For Jeff Nichols and Francelina Morillo, being on The Biggest Loser has been all about shedding weight and gaining love.
The two competitors, who met on the show, are now a couple, they reveal to PEOPLE exclusively.
"Our stories are similar, so we had a lot in common," said Nichols, 25. "And then we became best friends as time went on at the ranch. [After the show finished filming], we realized it was going to be very difficult to be apart from one another. We realized there was something there more than friends and we just decided to act on it."

Michael Dorsey says he turned to The Biggest Loser because he was tired of committing a slow "suicide."
"I don't understand why I was so willing to sacrifice my life when it was something I could fix," Dorsey told reporters of weighing 444 lbs. when he began the show. "I realized that my headspace wasn't right."
On the ranch, Dorsey, 34, was able to make the mental shift necessary to begin losing weight and became a frontrunner for the title of The Biggest Loser – a circumstance he feels ultimately led to being voted out by his housemates, including roommate and alliance member Jeff Nichols.

It's time for singles on The Biggest Loser – and that changes everything! Once I'd given each remaining contestant their new color, I loved the celebration in the house, particularly for Danni who had been competing as a single for the last couple of weeks.
However, the celebration was short-lived when they were introduced to their Valentine's Day temptation. It's incredible that a holiday celebrating love comes with so many calories that hurt those you love the most. So as the challenge began, I put on my night vision goggles and it killed me to watch Francelina and Alex stuffing calories into their mouths. Meanwhile, I was so proud of Danni for using the time for a workout.

Many Biggest Loser contestants look forward to running marathons, but David Jones wants to run after criminals!
"It sounds terrible to say," Jones, a police officer, told reporters Tuesday. "But I've kind of been spoiling [for a foot chase.] I go to just about every call that comes out going, 'Okay, maybe this is the one.' Unfortunately nobody has tried to run from me yet."
Jones, 51, was eliminated from the Blue Team Monday, but the father of seven had been prepared to leave the ranch.

Halfway through The Biggest Loser experience of season 14, the contestants have definitely all changed – and for the better.
When the contestants saw their pictures from the first day on campus, there were lots of laughs and groans ... and some shocked reactions. Even though it hasn't been that long in weeks, the changes they have already made have been huge – and now they have some perspective on who they were and who they are now.

Lisa Rambo may have been voted off of The Biggest Loser, but she is thriving on her weight loss journey at home – and so is her family.
"I've come home and I've had my family and we've done this together," Rambo told reporters Tuesday, the morning after her elimination aired on NBC. "We're doing this together and we're strong. It's amazing."
Rambo, 37, was unanimously eliminated by her team, who cited her "support system" as their determining factor to send her back to her family in Houlton, Wis.

This week our Biggest Loser contestants weren't too happy with me after I cleared out their kitchen and gave them each a budget of $10 a day to shop for a week's worth of food.
Clearly, some contestants (like Lisa) came with an advantage since they're used to cooking for their families. Others (like Alex) were used to eating fast food, and shopping at the market was definitely a challenge.

Now that Pamela "Pam" Geil's time on The Biggest Loser has come to an end, the contestant is ready for her next chapter.
"I am determined to become a runner," she told reporters on a conference call shortly after her elimination.
"I actually would like to try a Tough Mudder [race]. I can't believe I'd ever say that running is fun, but they look like fun, so I just really look forward to pushing myself physically and becoming the best person I can be. I almost begin to wonder if I ever really lived before this show because I had never been athletic."

Can you imagine if Bob Harper surprised you at dinner or if Dolvett Quince walked into your classroom? How would you react?
Watching the kids's reactions to Bob, Jillian and Dolvett surprising them was priceless.
