It's a new week, and our remaining contestants meet Ali outside near a limo. She says that from now on, people will recognize them from "The Biggest Loser." These fans will approach them, expecting to be inspired. So they will all have to give an inspiring speech to a group today. To help them get ready for their big day are Tim Gunn and Tabatha from "Tabatha's Salon Take-Over!!!!" YAY!!!! Don't you just LOVE Tim Gunn!? And don't you just wonder how long they kept those two waiting in that limo? If I were Tim, I'd be terrified to be cooped up in that thing with Tabatha. Had the snacks ran out, she probably would have started sucking his blood. Anyway, all the contestants are very excited. Becca immediately does her runny, clappy dance. It's make-over week, folks!

Tim has set up a boutique for them in a suite in the Four Seasons Hotel. Tabatha will be taking them to a salon in West Hollywood. Rudy says he's excited because he's gotten a little burly. Um, a little burly, Rudy? You are one day's worth of growth away from being a total Grizzly Jack, man. At this point, he's just two eyes poking out from behind a wad of hair.

Over at the Four Seasons, Tim first meets with Liz. He asks what message she wants to send in her speech. She wants to tell every wife and mother that they are worth taking time for themselves. She's been trying to reconnect with the old person she used to love. AND she wants to look fabulous.

Rudy tells Tim that he hasn't been in a suit since his wedding. Tim says the best way to dress up jeans is with a blazer. Rudy wants to know where he'd wear that to. Tim suggests wearing it when he takes his wife to dinner. Rudy glazes over for a second and looks a little stunned. He wants to know when McDonald's installed a dress code.

Becca is all over the place, looking at all the pattern dresses. She tells Tim that trying clothes on has always been hard. She loves clothes, and it's hard to put them on when you're fat. She's excited to say goodbye to the girl she used to be, but it's really overwhelming. Tim hugs her and says he's proud and wants to show her off. We see a montage of Becca's "Before Belly," and I wonder why the producers always do this. I mean, yeah, it's a weight loss show. And, yeah, it's probably important that we see their weight, so we can measure how far they've come. But sometimes it seems a little excessive and embarrassing. I mean, do we really need to see THIS every five seconds:

Now off to Tabatha at the salon! Becca meets with Tabatha and tells her that short hair is scary when you have a round face. You know what's even scarier? Short hair is scary when you have an ALIEN FACE.

The men have a little conversation off to the side about their speeches. Allen tells Danny and Rudy that people need to hear their struggles because so many other people are going through it, and they need to know they can do it. Danny says he wants to talk about the underlying reason why they're there. I wonder why Allen is at a salon. And I hope it's because they have some of that aerosol, spray-on hair in a drawer somewhere. They'll spray some on Allen, and we'll watch him sweat it off during the last-chance workout.

Tabatha tells Rudy that he's bushy, but Rudy says the beard needs to stay. He worries he'll look heavy if he shaves it. He cocks an eyebrow and says that beards are distinguishing because Abe Lincoln had one. Yeah, because you really want to look like ABE. Smart man? Yes. Good-looking, man? Not even close. He looked like a twisted old tree with dead eyes and cardboard teeth, Rudy. Not a look to strive for.
