[Warning: Spoiler alert.]
Tonight, five rejected players got a chance to make it back on the show, with Anna Wright succeeding. Next, the contestants divided into Blue and Black teams. The two squads then battled in a trivia challenge. The reward was 40 weeks worth of 'Biggest Loser' food, plus getting to read letters from home.
