Shannon Thomas is a reality show contestant, along with her mother Helen, on the 2009 Biggest Loser Couples. Thomas was eliminated on the first episode of the series, leaving her mother behind to compete in the weight loss battle.
Thomas was charged with domestic abuse after her tenant, Michael Nolden, accused her of kicking open the door to his basement apartment and throwing a bag of flour in his face. Thomas went before the judge in early January 2009 and was asked to refrain from any contact with the alleged victim, and was released with a $2,000 bond.BuddyTV: Thomas Charged... (January 8, 2009)
The Series Twist
Two couples received immunity and nine contestants were eliminated during the first episode of the show. Of the couples that were separated, if any of the nine remained on the show after thirty days, they would be allowed to bring their partner back. The network has not commented on whether or not Thomas will be allowed to return to the campus if her mother remains in the competition for the thirty required days.
