Bob tells them he’s back and will be there until the end. He says he didn’t come alone and opens the door and they see Woody is with him. Woody is thrilled to back at the ranch. Bob tells them all about Comeback Canyon and the second chance that it offered.

Rob says this thing is hard and starts talking about how he’s glad that Woody is back but that means he’s one week back from the end. Dolvett tells him that’s life and that is constantly throws you challenges. Ali tells them it’s final five and it’s game on. Dolvett says Rob’s temper is a reaction to losing control and says he has to get to the bottom of it. He talks to him and asks why this is any different than any other curve ball the show has thrown.

Dolvett says they all have a right to be angry but it can’t be the loudest voice in your head. He tells Rob that anger is the only emotion he lets play. He tells him to stop letting anger control you. Rob says he never let the anger go before he got there – he says he just ate his feelings. Rob says he needs to express it, but just isn’t doing it the right way. Dolvett says he needs to let go and says when he does that in a healthy way, he’ll have the balance he’s missing.

Rob says he doesn’t like being angry and wants to be there with the great people and is glad he’s got Dolvett in his corner. Lori is thrilled she gets to work out with Bob. She says when she thinks Biggest Loser, she thinks Bob. He says he’s going to work them all today and Bob says he’s dying to get his hands on all of the final five contestants. Lori says he’s ready to show Bob that she’s an athlete and how far she’s come since week one.

Toma is working hard and doesn’t want to be in the bottom three again. Bob calls him an athlete and says he’s going to go a long long way. Dolvett says Bob being back feels like the good old days. He thinks the competition level is going to get more intense with him there. Bob goes to work with Rob and says he thinks they’re a lot alike. He says neither of them trust easily and he gets that. Bob wants him to work on the vertical but Rob is scared.

Rob is terrified and thinking of all the things that could go wrong if he doesn’t make it. He walks off and Bob tells him he’s going to a crazy place and needs to get it under control. He tells him that his body can get up there if he goes fearless. He jumps and makes it and Rob is elated. He says he was worried about working with Bob but now says he really gets him. Bob says this is about standing up and keeping on fighting when life kicks you in the teeth.

Ali greets the final five on a basketball court for today’s challenge to row and throw. They have to row 2,000 meters on a rowing machine and then they get five medicine balls from six to 10 pounds and they have to shoot them into a hoop from behind the free throw line. The winner gets a one pound advantage. Woody says he knows what one pound can mean at this stage and Sonya really wants it too. They start the challenge.

Lori says rowing a mile is incredibly hard. They are all very close as they pass the halfway point. Sonya is just slightly behind the others. Toma is done first and then Woody close behind. Rob is done next. Rob shoots granny style and shoots one right away. Rob, Toma and Lori are each tied at two but they’re getting harder. Woody gets one as Toma and Rob hit three. Sonya is last off the rower. Rob hits four and then Toma does then Lori. It’s down the last.
