The Biggest Loser

***The Biggest Loser*** is the second season of *Aurora's The Challenge*. It premiered on April 14th, 2023 and concluded on May 18th, 2023.

## Description

On this season of Aurora's The Challenge: The Biggest Loser, you can't win without losing! With 25 contestants looking to better their minds and their bodies, the ultimate goal is to avoid going under the yellow line and stay in the game, making for a season filled with sweat, tears, and determination. Who will be crowned as The Biggest Loser?

## Format

* **Daily Workout:** Each round, players will each undergo a daily workout, this will be in the form of a challenge they must compete individually, however their performance will affect their team as a whole in the Weigh-In.
* **The Weigh-In:** At the end of the daily workout, each player will be individually weighed, with the top performer in the challenge losing the most weight (if there's 20 players left, they lose 20 pounds), and the worst performer in the challenge losing the least weight (loses one pound, considering they did not DNF or DQ). At the end of the weigh-in, the team that loses the highest average of weight will be safe and form the Power Pounders.
* **Yellow Line Week:** You will see this play out on a typical week, during the weigh-in, the two worst performers on each of the two teams that lose the least weight, will fall below the yellow line. It is then up to the rest of the team, who will vote in the public deliberation, which of the two below the yellow line to save from the see the Last Chance Workout, and which to send in. The contestant who fell under the yellow line that is saved, will be safe from the Power Pounder vote.
* **Power Pounders:** The Power Pounders is the team that loses the most weight on average in the Weigh-In, in a public deliberation, they will choose one player from each of the losing teams that placed above the yellow line to go into the Last Chance Workout, where they will each face the other player on their respective team already sent in!
* **Last Chance Workout:** This is where elimination will take place, on each team, the player sent in via the Yellow Line Vote will take on the player on the same team as them sent in by the Power Pounders, the winners will stay while the losers will leave the ATC: Biggest Loser Ranch.

### Twists

* **Biggest of the Bunch:** Three players known as the "Biggest of the Bunch" (Halfy, Mousea and Vinnie) arrived as extra ammo to the teams. The team captain who placed first would have first picks on which of the Biggest of the Bunch to join their team.
* **Red Line Week:** These will work like purges, instead of two on each of the losing team placing under the yellow line, one member from each of the losing teams, that performs the worst in the daily workout and loses the least weight, will fall under the red line, instantly eliminating themselves from the ATC: Biggest Loser Ranch.
* **Calorie Catcher:** Similar to Grenades on The Challenge, the two winners of elimination will each throw one calorie catcher, after being given three options, to any player on any team even if they were on the Power Pounders. These catchers can come in the form of extra weight, embarrassing punishments, and even spy-like abilities such as the Weight Watcher.
