Another twist for this week's Biggest Loser%u2026no one gets eliminated if the cumulative weight loss for the challengers equals 150 pounds. The catch is that it's week 2, which is infamous for low weight loss weigh-ins.

The challengers won their group challenge and won a phone call home and 20 pounds off toward the 150 pound weigh-in challenge.

The challengers won the 150 pound challenge, losing 155 pounds and disproving the myth of the week 2 curse.
