The first reality series in which everybody "loses," "The Biggest Loser" offers severely overweight participants the opportunity to undergo a radical physical makeover without any kind of surgery.
Caroline Rhea ("Sabrina, the Teenage Witch") returns to host the second season of the series which, challenges and encourages overweight contestants as they compete for a grand prize of $250,000 in a safe and recommended manner through comprehensive diet and exercise. The unscripted and life-altering one-hour reality series gathers contestants from across the country to face real-life temptations while being provided with approved weight-loss skills and resources in an effort to help them transform their bodies, health – and ultimately, their lives.
"The Biggest Loser" provides the 14 strong-willed yet hopeful contestants – who are divided into the red team (women) and the blue team (men) – challenges, temptations, weigh-ins and eliminations until the final contestant remains to claim the title of "the biggest loser." Each team works out under the supervision of professional trainers Kim Lyons (red team) and Bob Harper (blue team).
The inspirational series premiered October 19, 2004, and the January 11, 2005 finale became a ratings heavyweight, scoring NBC's highest rating in the time period in nearly three years. "The Biggest Loser" finale more than doubled the 2.9 rating in adults 18-49 that NBC had been averaging in the time period prior to the arrival of "Loser."
"The Biggest Loser" is a production of Reveille LLC, 25/7 Productions, 3 Ball Productions and NBC Universal Television Studio. Ben Silverman (NBC's "The Office," "The Restaurant"), Dave Broome ("Tsunami Aid, A Concert of Hope"), JD Roth ("For Love or Money," "Endurance")and Todd A. Nelson ("For Love or Money," "Endurance") are the executive producers.
