The Final Seven Contestants Head To Dallas On NBC's 'THE BIGGEST LOSER: COUPLES' 4/27

It’s an exciting week on "The Biggest Loser: Couples" when the seven remaining contestants head to Dallas for a Texas-size adventure that will take them from running a 5K at the Cotton Bowl to a wild rodeo challenge on a special episode airing Tuesday, April 27 (8-10 p.m. ET) on NBC.  Plus, season eight fan favorite Abby Rike guest stars.

Hoping to inspire overweight Texans and show them that bigger isn’t always better, the contestants stop by radio stations in Dallas and encourage listeners to come join them for a 5K at the Cotton Bowl. The Players meet a cheering crowd at the stadium, and hear very emotional stories from local Texans about their personal weight loss struggles.  While motivating the runners and walkers who have come out to join them, the seven finalists see themselves for the first time as the role models they have become.

Then it’s off to meet host Alison Sweeney for a wild rodeo challenge that will grant immunity to the lucky winner at this week’s weigh-in.  And with only seven contestants left, it becomes clearer than ever who is willing to do whatever it takes to be in the final four.  Also, Abby Rike, one of season eight’s most popular contestants, makes a special appearance and invites trainer Jillian Michaels to speak at her old high school.  There, Jillian makes a special connection with a young girl struggling with her weight.  Later, Michaels and trainer Bob Harper put The Players through a grueling last chance workout, and then the contestants weigh in at the American Airlines Center on their last night in Dallas. A difficult, tearful elimination follows, leaving one player feeling very much alone.
