The contestants competed to win a $250,000 prize, which was awarded to Patrick House, the finalist with the highest percentage of weight lost.
Bold denotes who has the overall highest percentage of weight loss as of that week First aired September 21, 2010 Twenty-one hopeful contestants competed in seven different cities across the country to enter the competition.
Ada, Adam, Allie, Brendan, Burgandy, Frado, Jesse, Jessica, Lisa, Mark, Patrick, Rick, Sophia, and Tina earned a spot and became the first fourteen contestants of season ten.
Aaron, Anna, Corey, Elizabeth, Montina, Sandy, and Shanna lost the challenge and were eliminated.
Bob picks Aaron, who showed a lot of heart and insisted on finishing his 500 steps, even after he had lost.
Allie then seeks help from outside her family and links up with fellow Oklahoman Danny Cahill, the Season 8 winner, for future workouts.
First aired October 5, 2010 The morning after Allie is voted off, the contestants assemble and Tina makes an announcement.
It was a painful decision to vote off Allie, a 300-pound 22-year-old, and thousands of people wish they were on the show, and now Tina is wasting that opportunity.
Then they have an immunity challenge, in which contestants have to pick up tennis balls from a court and run to cylinders set up with everyone's name.
The people below the yellow line have a challenge—they must dig through a huge pile of sand and find one of the brass rings that is buried.
Anna tries to make everyone happy, and the teams end up being Blue: Aaron, Adam, Jesse, Jessica, Lisa, Mark.
At the work out, Frado and Brendan tell Jillian they want to throw the weigh in so they can get Patrick on their team and send Anna home.
But it turns out he only loses 2 pounds Alison asks him if he wants to rethink his answer he gave her before, and he says no and that he played it straight.
She also complains about Frado, an "alpha male" who manipulates everyone but doesn't want to do work himself, and who has trouble with Jillian ordering him around.
The contestants came into their last chance workout and Bob and Jillian are especially surprised to see Brendan getting his hair and beard shaved off.
The week's challenge follows, calling for each team to make a tower of sugar cubes that reaches 5 feet in height.
After over an hour and 20 minutes of building, Ada & Jessica win the challenge, and a 2-week stay at The Biggest Loser Fitness Resort.
Aaron has a breakthrough during a workout with Jillian, and everyone gangs up against Brendan for his decisions in team-making, as well as Lisa for claiming that she did not want to be at the ranch.
In the end, after a tense weigh in, including many lash-outs from the contestants and trainers, directed at Lisa & Elizabeth, due to Aaron's poor result (only 4 pounds), he & Jesse, as well as Lisa & Elizabeth (who both lost 8 pounds) fall below the yellow line and go up for elimination, and in a 2 to 1 vote, Jesse & Aaron are eliminated.
Bob expresses surprise at Brendan and Patrick voting for Aaron & Jesse, and is angry at the game-playing that has occurred and has caused players who need to be there to be eliminated.
Ada explains that she is used to not having the family support of the other players; Bob encourages her to use her feelings to push herself harder.
The videos from home show how family members have been inspired to lose weight, in particular Patrick's wife, Elizabeth's mother and Mark's cousin, who has lost 65 pounds.
In the following workout, Jillian asks Elizabeth to complete the 500 step-up challenge which she never got chance to finish in Boston.
At the runway show, Shanna comes back to guest speak, as she had been undergoing treatment for Grade 3 breast cancer while applying for The Biggest Loser.
Elizabeth reaches 70 points (14 laps) before deciding she couldn't finish the challenge with Patrick already having won.
At the elimination, Frado's alliances help him stay on campus; Brendan, Elizabeth and Mark all voted for Lisa and send her home.
Lisa's family and friends throw her a party on her return, which Allie (eliminated in Week 1) is shown to be at.
Frado, Patrick, and Ada secured a spot in the final four, leaving Mark and Elizabeth below the yellow line.
Ada and Elizabeth fell below the yellow line, and it was up to America to decide which of the two women will join Patrick and Frado among the final three.
Ada is in third place, Frado in a close second, and followed by Patrick winning the title of The Biggest Loser.
