You guys! There is so much important TV on tonight! I don't even know what to do with myself. And then Oprah is ending tomorrow. It's all too much for a person to take, really. Here to bring me back to reality is Allison Sweeney, widely known in these recaps as Sami, wearing a sausage dress. And then we flash to someone in the audience who has a sign reading, "Time 4 Babies." What does that even mean? Is that a signal from my subconscious? Boy, it's going to be a long night.

Sami tells us that during this season 22 contestants trained with four trainers on two campuses, and faced more challenges and weigh-ins than any contestants ever. They went to New Zealand where they jumped off of bridges. They climbed mountains. They lost a challenge to a contestant from a whole different season. In keeping with this kind of barrier-breaking tradition, we could have a ladies only finale. Girl power!

And then we get a recap of the season so far. The contestants had to choose between Bob and Jillian and two unknown trainers, who we wish were still unknown. There were plenty of tragic stories, which is no surprise. The narrator of this montage says, "They came to lose weight, but along the way they found themselves." Really, sir? Anyway, we are left with Jay, Irene, Hannah and Olivia.
