"THE BIGGEST LOSER 5" "503"

01/15/2008 (08:00PM - 10:00PM) (Tuesday) : TENSIONS RUN HIGH AS THIS
WEEK'S CHALLENGE CAUSES RIFTS AMONG PLAYERS -- Curtis and Mallory
were eliminated in last night's competition. The remaining eight
teams compete in a game of "elimination" where the last team standing
wins immunity so they can't be sent home this week.

While the challenge causes rifts in the house as the players become
more competitive, the trainers are determined to work the teams
harder and post more impressive numbers on the scale at this week's
weigh-in. Then an elimination round follows, and another team is sent
packing.

Alison Sweeney is the host, and Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also
star.

The new teams competing for the $250,000 grand prize are:
