The Biggest Loser is an inspirational reality TV show based on extremely overweight people trying to lose weight. Trainers Jillian Michael and Bob Harper, have returned as the trainers this season. The show will make you laugh, cry and jump for joy as you watch the trials and tribulations of the contestants. The stories are real, the people are real, making it one of the best reality shows on television.

The show is in it’s 8th season and is hosted by daytime television star, Allison Sweeney. This season is about 2nd chances. The 16 contestants include a contestant from last season who is hoping he can finish what he started. Daniel started season 7 at 454 pounds, the heaviest person to ever be on the show. He is starting this season at 312 pounds. He was able to finish the one mile run first in the season premier of the show, earning him immunity and first choice at a partner. He chose Shay who is 476 pounds, and now has the record for the heaviest person on the show.

An early favorite on the show is Abby. Her story is heart wrenching. Abby lost her 5 year old and 2.5 week old children, along with her husband in a car accident two and a half years ago.

The first contestant to be sent home was Alexandria. Her weight loss put her up for elimination, and the other contestants voted her out. She has lost 70 pounds on her own since leaving the show.
