Seth was awarded $50,000 for his second place finish, and Suzy was awarded $25,000 for third. Of the non-finalists, Pete had lost the highest percentage of weight and received the $100,000 prize.

Here are some of the new features included in season 2 are:

• Teams were divided in Men and Women
• Total percent weight loss was used for elimination (number of pounds lost was used in Season 1).
• Episode 7 of Season 2 saw the blue and red teams dissolved and 4 new teams of 2 created. Three of the teams consisted of one man and one woman, and one team consisted of two men.
• Episode 9 of Season 2 saw the new teams of 2 dissolved and the game turned individual. Unlike last year, elimination risk had nothing to do with total percentage of weight loss but was going to be based on percentage of weight loss for the week.
