Jordan Alicandro, a 32-year-old regional sales manager and former high school baseball standout from Surrey, BC, Canada, was ousted from the competition for good after losing the weigh-in at Bob Harper's Comeback Canyon against fellow contestant Scott Mitchell, a 46-year-old bill collector and 12-year NFL veteran quarterback from Mapleton, UT.
Jordan dropped from 227 to 219 pounds, losing eight pounds and posting a 3.52% weight-loss percentage. Scott fell from 251 to 242, shedding nine pounds and posting a 3.59% weight-loss percentage. Scott won his third weigh-in in a row.
Later in the episode, Howard "Woody" Carter, a 46-year-old car salesman and former Arena League football player from Las Vegas, NV, was automatically out of the competition and sent to Comeback Canyon after he posted the lowest weight-loss percentage at the Week 13 weigh-in and therefore fell below the red line.
Lori Harrigan-Mack, a 44-year-old director of hotel security and former three-time Olympic gold medal-winning softball player from Las Vegas, NV, won the week's challenge in Hawaii. The lacrosse-style challenge featured coconuts, balance beams and quite a bit of swimming and running. She received a one-pound advantage on the scale as her reward.
