Victoria talks with Sam, and tries to figure out why she hasn't been successful at losing weight. Sam tells her that he didn't know himself when he first came to campus, and notes that if you don't get anything emotionally and mentally from this experience, you've missed the whole point. Weight will come back when you can't figure out what's going on mentally. He tells her that figuring your shit out is pretty important. Words to live by.
The contestants trek out in the rain to see Sami. It's absolutely pouring, and only Sami appears to have an umbrella. She says that The Biggest Loser is the ride of a lifetime, and today that's especially true. Two people are going to ride away in a brand new car. There is happiness galore at the thought of winning a 2010 Mazda something or other. Sami explains the challenge: on the hill, there are seven giant balloons -- one for each color left in the game. Each balloon holds 20 keys, which means there are 140 keys total. Two of them will start the cars. Their job is to find the working keys, one key at a time. In the pouring rain, and through the mud. Isn't going on The Price Is Right easier? And couldn't they at least give these poor people raincoats?
The contest begins! Sam requests an ark. Everyone hopes that their first key will be the lucky one, but alas -- no one's FICO score is good enough to warrant such karma. As the pneumonia takes hold, more keys fail. Eventually, the weather clears a bit, but the contestants are still struggling to find the keys that work. As Drea tells Sami that she currently drives a go-cart that her dog won't even fit into, her key works! She gets the blue car, and is quite happy with it. The others continue to struggle and fight for the one remaining car. Eventually, O'Neal's key works in the red car! He wins! Which also means Sunshine wins. She loves him even more than usual.
