At the latest weigh-in, Jeremy fell below the red line, meaning that Conda and Kim are automatically in the finale. However, Jeremy learns that he and the fourteen eliminated contestants, which does not include the three that quit, namely Buddy, Joe and Mark, will compete to earn the last spot in the final three. Regardless, Jeremy feels cheated that he was not automatically in that spot having in his mind been one of the last three standing after the week to week weigh-ins. Alison informs the contestants that the final spot will be determined in two stages. The eight with the highest percentage of weight loss since day one will move on to stage two. Alison however makes those eight wait one full day before telling them of what stage two is. It ends up being much like day one, with a three part challenge that tests speed, knowledge and endurance.
