NBC's BIGGEST LOSER Contestants to Train Like the Marines, 11/2

It's an adventure the contestants will never forget when they live and train like Marines for a week on a special one-hour episode of "The Biggest Loser" airing Tuesday, November 2 (8-9 p.m. ET) on NBC.

Right after hearing from host Alison Sweeney that they are going to Camp Pendleton, the contestants - including former Marine Frado -- are surprised by two Marines who whisk them away in military trucks headed to the largest Marine training facility on the west coast. There, they hit the ground running with a fast-paced week of activities led by a select group of Marines. It's non-stop action, from intense hikes with oversized backpacks to early morning rifle exercises to a grueling obstacle course challenge that pits blue team vs. black, with a prize for the winning team that The Players want now more than ever.

While some struggle with the physical challenges and the adjustment of being away from the ranch, others thrive with the experience, determined to adopt the Marines' can-do attitude and pick up the pace. And one contestant even shaves his head to be just like the Marines!

Later, The Players meet up with trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels at the Camp Pendleton gym for a Marine-style last chance workout, and then a weigh-in full of surprising numbers is followed by another player being eliminated. It's an action-packed episode viewers won't want to miss.
