In a classic reality show twist, her exit meant that a recently eliminated person could return to the show. So Louie came back! And he tackled a dive from the highest platform. When a judge complimented the 400-pounder's bravery, Louie corrected him. "It's 399!"
At the end of the episode, Anderson found himself in the bottom two with soccer star Brandi Chastain. They were supposed to compete in a dive-off, but Louie withdrew, saying,"You know, I really went further than I ever thought I could. And I know I have very little chance of winning this competition." He exited, leaving Brandi to advance in the competition.
"Louie, you won our hearts the first time you took a dive. Tonight you have our hearts forever," said host Joey Lawrence, who even took a plunge into the water with co-host Charissa Thompson. They were both fully clothed!

Webb is the second contestant to withdraw from "Splash." Reality star Kendra Wilkinson exited in tears a few weeks ago because she couldn't overcome her fear of heights. Meanwhile, Webb's exit created a second chance for previously eliminated contestant and comedian, Louie Anderson. Upon his return, he completed a dive from the highest platform.
Despite this, Anderson found himself back on the chopping block along with soccer star Brandi Chastain. The two were supposed to compete in a dive-off, but Anderson passed and opted to split again. "You know, I really went further than I ever thought I could," he said. "And I know I have very little chance of winning this competition."
