This brand new season of the famous weight loss reality show, “The Biggest Loser”, brings the heaviest cast and toughest challenges ever. The 22 contestants, who compose eleven family teams of two members, will completely transform their lives to lose a record amount of weight under the supervision of trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper.

Trainer Jillian, who will have her own show titled “Losing It With Jillian”, confessed to be worried about the contestants being “too big” (some weighing in almost or more than 500lbs) but is happy to have “bigger” challenges every season. The new season hosted by Alison Sweeney will premiere on Tuesday (January 5).
