SHE "PLAYED THE GAME," BUT IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL TRACEY'S POLITICING FAILED TO PAY OFF

The Biggest Loser, just like the Tea Partyers, made the trek to Washington, D.C. -- this group spreading their healthy-eating and healthy-lifestyle message at nation's landmarks including the Jefferson Memorial and the White House garden.

At Washington Monument, each contestant lured tourists and locals to a mass workout -- with Liz gathered the most people and won the challenge.

New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Pennsylvania Sen. Robert Casey spoke with the contestants who completed a balance challenge.

Teams ran a mile around Constitution Garden. The top six finishers took pennies from the Watergate steps and placed them into a bank -- with the first three who gathered enough pennies to reach a designated line on the bank moving on in the round.

Remaining contestants ran up 206 steps in front of the White House -- the number of steps representing the number of contestants who have appeared on The Biggest Loser. Rebecca won immunity.

And as a real treat, the contestants were able to prepare a salad in the White House kitchen with assistance from the Obama's personal chefs.

Anyway, the final weigh-in was in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Tracey and Liz fell below the yellow line -- so in danger of being voted to leave the show.

And in the end, it is Tracey, who previously stuffed on cupcakes and admits that she has tried hard to play the game to win, who was voted to be sent home.
