Show Summary

The biggest winner is "The Biggest Loser" in this compelling new weight-loss reality drama in which two celebrity fitness trainers join with top health experts to help overweight contestants transform their bodies, health and ultimately, their lives. Alison Sweeney ("Days of Our Lives") hosts the unscripted, two-hour series in which two competing teams follow comprehensive diet and exercise plans to undergo radical physical makeovers. Unique physical challenges, surprising alliances and irresistible temptations make the competition even tougher for the contestants, who ultimately have to decide which player gets eliminated each week. In the end, "The Biggest Loser" becomes the biggest winner, walking away with a healthier body - and $250,000. "The Biggest Loser" is a production of NBC Universal Television Studio, Reveille, 25/7 Productions and 3 Ball Productions. Ben Silverman (NBC's "The Restaurant," "The Office (US)"), David Broome ("Jingle Ball Rock"), J.D. Roth ("NBC's "For Love or Money," "Endurance"), John Foy ("For Love or Money," "Endurance") and Todd A. Nelson ("For Love or Money," "Endurance") are the executive producers. After the first Biggest Loser was crowned in January of 2005, a second Biggest Loser began in September, pitting the men versus the women in the ultimate chance of losing weight and feeling good about yourself. With the success of the second season, a special edition version of six episodes started in January 2006, with a third season starting in March 2006.

  • Jillian Michaels

    There is something to be said about positive reinforcement. Jillian Michaels obviously has never heard of it. The other trainers use it and get the same results, or perhaps better results. Negative reinforcement only tends to make the recipient feel belittled, and how does that help one's confidence? I wish Jillian never came back to the show. She is the main reason why I will stop watching as of tonight. I can't stand her "training methods" if that is what she calls it. I don't think guards in prison camps talk to their prisoners and treat them as meanly as she treats her group. Jillian, you may be pretty on the outside, but you are as ugly as dirt on the inside. Talk about the biggest loser.... Jillian, you are a big loser......moreless

  • Not all pit bulls are attack Jillian for the stereotype

    Jillian is back. While she may be a good trainer, I don't think she knows her dog breeds very well. During one of her workout sessions she claimed she wanted to make her contestants into "attack dogs" she wanted her contestants to be "pit bulls". Despite the inappropriate comment linking pit bull to attack dog, I take issue with the fact that many pit bulls I know are actually more lap dogs than attack dogs. If she wanted to compare her contestants to a breed that is known for long bouts of exercising, pit bulls surely are not that breed. Why not try golden retriever? They at least like to chase balls.

    In an episode with strong messaging against bullying, I wish Jillian and the Biggest Loser would consider not bullying the pit bull breed and focus on getting contestants healthy.moreless

  • Terrible

    1.0
    By lacrosse41, Jan 08, 2013
    I absolutely hate this show. This is really just a discouraging let down for everyone who gets voted off in the first few weeks. If they really wanted to see who the biggest loser was then they would let everyone stay on the show until the very end and then see who lost the most. These people don't care about the people's well beings, they just care about publicity and rating. I mean really? come on people! People are trying to hard to fulfill promises to there families that they would not able to fulfill without this show and they just get voted off and discouraged when their journey comes up short. If you really cared about the people's well beings, you wouldn't have any eliminations. Just sayin.moreless

    This is a great show! The emotional bickering is not so good. However, before Biggest Loser, who would have thought that the morbidly obese could be pushed so hard physically? It is an encouragement to anyone who is overweight. If it is guilty of discrimination it is this; no one who can not reach deep down within themselves will ever win.

  • I'm convinced The Biggest Loser is racist

    4.5
    By yanna24, Jun 19, 2012
    I started watching The Biggest Loser recently and found it really inspiring in my journey to get fit. But I couldn't help notice that all the Black contestants would always fall below the yellow line and get voted off the show. At times I could actually tell that the black contestants had dramatically lost weight but the scale would say 0. Anyway, after watching show after show I have definitely come to the conclusion that The Biggest Loser is a racist show. If they ever let a Black person win....that's what they'll be doing.....letting them win. But at this point I doubt that will ever happen no matter how much weight is lost. So sad and disappointing. I will however, continue my workout routine that was inspired by this show. Why can't people just play fair?moreless
