The contestants competed to win the $250,000 prize, which was awarded to Rachel Frederickson. It premiered on October 15, 2013. This was the first season to introduce a trainer save, in which each trainer could choose to save one contestant on their team from being sent home as a result falling below the red line. The season was won by Rachel Frederickson, weighing in at only 105 pounds. Mass-media had raised concern, wondering if that was a healthy weight loss. In the same month after the finale, Fredrickson regained 20 pounds to reach her 'perfect weight', putting her at 125 pounds.

The contestants arrived on the ranch and had their first day of training. Ruben Studdard of American Idol was among the contestants. The next day, the trainers picked the contestants, the Red (Dolvett), White (Jillian), and Blue (Bob). The teams were: Red team: Ruben, Jennifer, Rachel, Tanya, David. White team: Craig, Tumi, Jay, Fernanda, Marie. Blue team: Holley, Chelsea, Bobby, Matt, Hap. When it came to the weigh-in, Allison Sweeney announced that, for the first time, there will be a 'Trainer Save,' which saves one person from going home if he/she falls below the red line. At the weigh-in, Blue team weighed in first. Holley lost 16 pounds, Hap lost 17, Chelsea lost 12, Matt lost 23, and Bobby lost 20 pounds. Together, the Blue team lost 88 pounds for a 5.15% weight loss. The Red team needed to lose more than 85 pounds to stay safe. Ruben lost 21 pounds, Jennifer lost 11, Tanya lost 16, and Rachel lost 21 pounds, which means David would need to lose at least 17 pounds to keep his team safe. David steps on the scale...and loses a whopping 38 pounds!!! The Red team's total weight loss was 107 pounds for a 6.45% weight loss. The White team needed to lose more than 77 pounds to send Blue team to face the Red Line. Tumi lost 14 pounds, Fernanda lost 12, Marie lost nine, and Jay lost 23 pounds, which meant Craig would need to lose more than 19 pounds to stay safe. Unfortunately, Craig lost just 13 pounds and was under the red line, automatically eliminated but Jillian used her 'Trainer Save' to keep him in the game. Week 2: "A Game of Chance" First aired October 22, 2013 This week each trainer rolled a die with their contestants' faces on them and that contestants' weight loss will be the only one that counts at the weigh-in. Meanwhile, the contestants faced their first challenge of the season. It started where the teams were strapped to one another and had to work together to fill up their tank with water to a certain level. In addition, they had to roll a die to determine how many buckets they could carry to their tank. The Blue team narrowly edged out the Red team to win and received an extra die to roll to see if they wanted to use that contestant for the weigh-in. When it came for the weigh-in, Fernanda was representing the White team, Tanya for the Red team, and Hap for the Blue team. Hap lost 13 pounds (3.37% of weight lost), but when Fernanda stepped on the scale, she only lost two pounds (0.84% weight lost). Tanya needed to lose more than two pounds to keep the Red team safe, and she succeeded with four (1.63% weight lost). The White Team lost the weigh-in again and Fernanda fell below the red line and was automatically eliminated. Week 3: "The Auction" First aired October 29, 2013 After Fernanda was eliminated, she lost 55 pounds at home, meaning she currently weighs 195 pounds. Her goal is to be 130 by the finale. For the third week, the contestants came to the gym to find all of the equipment had been taken out. Their next challenge was auctioning off the equipment to each team. The Red Team ended up getting sacks of sugar to work with, the White team ended up getting bench press and weight ball, and the Blue team ended up getting the rest of the equipment. When it came down for the weigh-in, the Red team lost for the first time when Tanya lost no weight and fell below the red line. However, Dolvett used his Trainer Save to save Tanya from going home, giving her another chance. Week 4: "Trick or Treat" First aired November 5, 2013 The challenge from this week was a Halloween-themed temptation. In the field, 100 pumpkins were up for grabs containing treats, cash, and the immunity prize. If a player received a treat, they had the option to eat to keep their team in the game, or pass, but once they passed, their entire team would be out. Whoever received the immunity prize would win immunity for their entire team, but if any teammate gains weight, they would lose immunity. While Chelsea, David, and Hap managed to find cash in one of their pumpkins, everyone else was not so lucky, especially Jay, who ate 950 calories of treats. Eventually, Hap picked up a pumpkin that Tumi was about to go for. Hap opened the pumpkin up to find a chocolate bar, and proceeded to open the wrapper. But instead of a chocolate bar inside, the White and Red teams are shocked to see Hap has found immunity, giving the Blue team their third consecutive challenge win. During the workouts, Jillian worked mostly with Tumi and revealed some personal info to her about her past, which helped with her struggle during this week's workout. The Blue team weighed in first; all five teammates lost weight and received immunity. The White team lost 27 pounds together as a team. The Red team needed to lose 36 pounds together as a team to avoid elimination. David, Rachel and Jennifer managed to pull off big numbers (Rachel lost 8, David lost 7, and Jennifer lost 6, respectively); unfortunately for Tanya, for the second week in a row, she failed to pull off another big number and only lost 3 pounds. Ruben was the last one to weigh in, and he had to lose more than 11 pounds to save his team from elimination; however, Ruben failed to reach the goal with only 5 p....
