Episode synopsis
This week the five remaining couples choose invitations and table settings with the help of wedding coordinator Brian Worley, and to mix things up, trainers Jennifer Cohen and Nicky Holender take the couples to a pole dancing class. Meanwhile, one couple has a heart-to-heart about their need to step it up in the competition, and for the first time, immunity is on the line during the wedding challenge, in addition to another one-pound penalty. One contestant desperately wants that immunity, and the win would allow them to use one-pound penalty against another contestant as payback. Finally, two couples face off in the elimination challenge and one couple will be sent home.
About Shedding for the Wedding
They are two of the most stressful things in life - planning a wedding and losing weight. Ten overweight engaged couples will live together and battle for the wedding of their dreams over a three-month period. Every episode, the couples will face off in a big physical challenge, competing to win one element of their wedding - from the invitations, to the cake, to the rings. Whatever they win will be theirs to keep. Together, they will plan their weddings with the help of the nation's top wedding planners, they will take a vow to eat right and exercise, and world-class trainers and nutritionists will completely overhaul their bodies. At the end of each episode, the couples will step on the scale and be weighed together - the couple who lost the least amount of combined weight that week will be eliminated. In the end, one couple will win their fantasy wedding - a once-in-a-lifetime event - that America will attend.
