In season 16, episode 2 of The Biggest Loser US, titled "The Knockout," the contestants face their second week on the ranch and a new set of challenges. The episode opens with the contestants learning that this week's theme is "boxing," and they will be participating in a boxing challenge to kick off the week.
The contestants are divided into two teams. The first challenge is an obstacle course relay race, with each team member completing a section of the course before tagging the next teammate. The second challenge is a boxing match, with each team member paired up against an opponent from the other team. The team that wins the most matches wins the challenge.
After the challenge, the contestants go back to the ranch and meet with their trainers. The trainers are impressed with the contestants' progress so far, but also push them to work harder.
The rest of the week is focused on boxing-themed workouts and challenges. The contestants participate in group boxing classes, as well as individual workouts with their trainers. They also learn about nutrition and healthy eating habits that will support their weight loss efforts.
The episode culminates in a weigh-in, during which the contestants learn how much weight they have lost over the course of the week. The weigh-in is emotional, with some contestants happy with their progress and others frustrated by slower-than-expected weight loss.
At the end of the episode, one contestant is sent home. The remaining contestants are left to continue their weight loss journey and work towards becoming the next Biggest Loser.
