Melissa Morgan only returned to "The Biggest Loser" ranch last week, but she was promptly sent home by the rest of the contestants due to both her "threat" status and general personality conflicts. On Wednesday, the Texas native spoke with me a little bit about her husband Lance's reaction to her return to the game, her strategy the second time around, and her plans moving forward.
Matt Carter: So how did Lance react when you told him about the opportunity to return?
Melissa Morgan: You know, Lance and I talked about that at length. I've watched this show for so long -- I knew the eliminated players were going to have a chance. That would be one heck of a twist for them not to bring back eliminated players. I'm a numbers girl, and I'm counting the weeks, the contestants, and I told [Lance] that they're bringing two people back -- two people are going to come back.
Do we try to get back on, or do we try to not get back on? Is it a challenge? If you and I are the top two, do we fight? We talked about it at length, and he knew how badly I wanted back on campus, and the reason I wanted back so bad was because I wasn't eliminated. I didn't have a vote, I didn't have a shot in week six to say 'hey, don't send me home'...he and I talked about, and we decided that if I could get back on campus, I should.
Matt: moving forward, how are you and Lance going to work together to achieve your weight-loss goals?
Melissa: Lance and I, one of our biggest problems is that we're enablers -- really big-time enablers. That is one of the main things that we have had to change in our lives. We're working out, we're working out together, and we're involving our kids at this point. So it's just a healthy, fit lifestyle from this point forward for us.

Melissa went on to say that she didn't understand the "villain" portrayal so much until she saw the episode Tuesday night, and that she is now hoping to run a full marathon in San Diego following the finale.
