The Biggest Loser

The Biggest Loser is a weight-loss reality show where contestants compete to lose the most weight and be crowned the "Biggest Loser".

The third season of Biggest Loser Couples is scheduled to air January 5th, 2010, 8/7c.

The Premise

The contestants work with trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper to lose weight, learn proper nutrition and how to workout. The two contestants that lose the smallest percentage of body weight, each week, are put up for elimination. The other contestants decide, between the two, who goes home. The contestant that stays in the game the longest and loses the highest percentage of body weight is awarded $250,000.
