"The Biggest Loser" viewers have known about the game-changing twist, which would have allowed previously eliminated contestants back into the competition, and the ensuing protest walkout by the current cast members since the incident made headlines in February. But the episode showing the dramatic turn of events is finally airing Tuesday (April 17), and Zap2it has an exclusive first-look clip (above).
In the video, former professional wrestler Kim Nielsen talks about why she doesn't think the twist is fair with show host Alison Sweeney and the show's lawyer, Jeff Friedman (Alison and Jeff met with each of the final five contestants individually).
Check out the sneak peek and then tune in for the full episode of "The Biggest Loser" at 8 p.m. on NBC.

"The Biggest Loser" (Tues., April 17, 8 p.m. Et on NBC), like many reality competition shows, isn't afraid to change things up at the end of the season. But that doesn't mean the contestants are happy about it.
Back in February, there were reports of a "Biggest Loser" walk out and it turns out, they were true.
When the twist -- that former contestants can compete for a chance to compete as a finalist -- the final five contestants threaten to leave the series. Enter Alison Sweeney and lawyer Jeff Friedman.
In this exclusive preview, Friedman and Sweeney, who met with all of the final contestants, meet with Jeremy Britt and explain that the twist was plainly written out in Britt's contract.
Not wanting to be controlled by producers, Britt threatens to leave "The Biggest Loser" ranch. "For me it's just this is a matter of right and wrong," Britt says.
