Does anyone remember a season where one of the contestants, I think a younger man played a song for the show with his band? The band had him on vocals and a young woman on vocals as well. I think it was a rock/pop punk sort of vibe. They played this romance/break up song I really liked a lot but now I can’t find it anywhere.

I want to say it was around 2010-2014 maybe?

Mine is Ali from season 5 (and that season) are a favorite of mine. One of the few I remember watching when it originally aired.

That season and season 9 are probably my favorites.

I mean this genuinely, I turned that shit off after episode 13 I think and I am moving on to season 14 but after the bs of season 13 I’m worried it will continue to be less motivating and more about having a villain. I don’t want any spoilers in case I do enjoy it and move on but I also don’t want to waste my time at this point, I’m just looking for motivational stuff yall not this middle school drama from season 13 😭

Started watching with my mom, and dont remember a whole lot from watching the show years ago.

Curious if any romantic relationships starting from it? Or anything else interesting like that?

It seems most of the trainers (American and Australian) have said that The Biggest Loser as a concept just doesn't work anymore. What with body positivity and activists getting mad at a weightloss show like this.

I'd personally love to go on The Biggest Loser and I am hoping it will have a comeback.

Like, I understand that Society has gotten more sensitive about weight, and some people even consider you healthy despite being heavily overweight, but I personally just don't believe that that's true. I believe much of the science that the show portrayed from years ago.

I do think that with people getting bigger and bigger, a show like The Biggest Loser is good. It shows that if you want to lose the weight, you can! Perhaps in a more sustainable way if it were rebooted, as many contestants gained back.

I understand that many people were upset by how the trainers would yell at some of the contestants, and I could see how that would upset some people. Though personally, I believe that that's the type of training I would need, and benefit from.

I'm not sure what would be the best way to make The Biggest Loser modern, any thoughts on this?

Watching US version season 12 right now where they’re in teams by age. It just seems like a really unfair set up for the oldest team. They obviously can’t run as fast or workout as aggressively so even if they did lose a high percentage they can’t win any challenges.

I'm based in the UK and I can't find the US version of the shoe anywhere! Amazon Prime has the Australian version but only 3 seasons. Happy to use risky streaming sites but any I've looked on I can't find the show there either! Please help

I know, its so many years later and that none of it matters. I have watched the show in the past for motivation for getting in shape. Sometimes I don't believe the numbers can move in the right direction and (even though I know this isn't done in the best way) the show helps remind me that bodies can lose weight. And makes me think about things like the changes to my diet I think I can stick to... when I want to weigh myself... I'm thinking in 10 swims or 15 walks... instead of some number of days.

I hated watching Conda and I could not believe people didn't just get rid of her to stop hearing that relentless complaining and mean spirited, selfish back stabbing. I feel sad for all the people who were sincere. But, its not a mystery why she's a bitch... its obvious that she is a manipulative cow... and they tried to show her sad backstory to excuse the damage she didn't mind doing to the people around her. However, its her brother who won the game... and they probably split the money. And, they could not have gotten into the top 3 if everyone didn't help them get there. The giant mystery is why those two had such strong supporters that they couldn't see the game play. Conda was never going to win, but she made sure to get her brother to the end. Why were the others so stupid? How did they let themselves be manipulated to this extent? Why didn't any of them want a shot at 250,000? They won the prize because they wanted it more and made sure they were in the final three. They ruined the show... but a good number of contestants let them. I wonder if the other contestants were bribed or if they were really just gullible suckers. Crazy bitches happen... that's not a surprise... how did she get a team of people to help her succeed to their own detriment?

I'm still wondering why Nick was absent in the final Weigh-in in Season 2? Any theories?

Hey everyone,

Where can I watch the missing seasons of the Biggest Loser Australia? Seasons missing from prime.

I’ve just binged season 17 and of course go on the hunt to see what the contestants are doing now.

Sadly Stephen passed away in 2020. From the posts I’ve seen, mental health may have been a part of it which drew me back to what Richard said on the live show finale “the biggest loser doesn’t yet have mental health support” (words to that effect).

I imagine being a contestant would be physically and emotionally so challenging - especially after the show.

I hope the new season takes that and has good mental heath support for all involved.

As I sit here watching the reruns of many seasons of the biggest loser I am in love with the show they don't only focus on the work out and the physical aspect of things but also the mental aspect of things and in the 17th seasons that I've watched you can see the difference that they are making in these people's lives and in their families lives it's really amazing like the impact this show has had is beyond measure I don't see why something like this would get canceled especially when obesity is such an issue but it's not only for those who are overweight it's also an inspiration for those who could get more fit I am 5'2 and currently weigh 168 lbs so by the body mass index I'm myself am overweight but watching all these contestants make such phenomenal transformations has inspired me finally use the gym membership I've been paying for for years and I've set a goal to fit back into my wedding dress by our next anniversary so we can have a vow renewal and finally get wedding photos after all these years

So everyone who won the show has all gained their weight back, right?

I’m looking for a clip of a young man getting a pep talk from an older male contestant about needing to find the “fire in his belly.”

I believe the young guy was from a father/son team but that the older man wasn’t his father; he was from another pair.

I want to say the young guy was Austin Andrews, but it may have been someone else.

Thanks so much for any insight I to who this was or where I can find a transcript or clip of this short conversation!

It looks like they have added season 17 to discovery+, and then the latest season is “biggest loser reboot.” However, season 17, episode 1 and 2 are the same and I don’t think it’s the correct episodes. Any insight?

Is it going to come back for another season?

Anyone else sort of wish they would measure body fat % rather than weight only? The way they work out they must gain a lot of muscle.

It would have been cool to see the difference based on that too I think.

Tag yourself, I am the person sitting in front of that lady who was losing her absolute sh*t over Megan's weightloss lmfao

Hey guys,

We run a YouTube channel and Podcast and we’ve been following this season of The Biggest Loser very closely. In this video we have some positive and negative things to say about the show.

Let us know what you guys think! We’d love to hear your reactions to the season too!

Was anyone else kind of surprised that they only weighed three at home contestants for the at home prize? I figured that they weighed in all the eliminated contestants before hand and those were the top three. I liked to see the progress all the contestants made during the season so just seeing three was odd. They had plenty of time since the first half of the episode was just recaps and talking with Bob.

I would think with quarantine people would be watching and posting about the last episode before the finale. Teri was looking good in her video from home.

Did you like this challenge? What kind of challenges would you like to see going forward?

Does anyone else think the teams are unfairly matched?
