'The Biggest Loser': Just when we thought we had gotten rid of Melissa ...

Oh brother. She's back.

Actually, they're all back.

Melissa and the rest of the eliminated contestants from this season's "The Biggest Loser" will all have a chance to battle their way back onto the ranch Tuesday night. Wanna make any predictions as to who that might be? My first thought was Sherry -- she looked downright skinny in the "Where are they now?" segment after she was eliminated. But then I remembered the sheer determination of the blue team: Cherita, a cancer conqueror,  and her spitfire of a daughter, Victoria. But then ... if you just consider it from a numbers perspective, it's gotta be either James or John, right? (More important: Does this mean we have to wait one more week for makeovers?)

One thing is certain: You'd better have your Kleenex handy. This episode includes an appearance by a man, Wayne, who weighed 674 pounds and, after a near-death experience, used "The Biggest Loser" as his inspiration to lose nearly 400 pounds. As an NBC news release notes, that means he lost twice as much weight on his own as any contestant in the series' history.

I was not happy last week (4/30/2010). I do not like Melissa. I do not think it is fair that she is back and not John, who really needs to be on the ranch.there was no way John could win that contest If Melissa wins the whole contest I do not think I will watch The Biggest Loser any more. She is just a plain awful. Everyone else is working so hard and if she comes back and wins, it will not be fair. She already lost alot of weight at home.
