Biggest Loser Premiere Begins Season 7 of NBC's the Biggest Loser

The Biggest Loser Premieres on NBC at 8pm January 6th with a Brand New Theme

The Biggest Loser: Couples premieres January 6th on NBC. The 7th season of The Biggest Loser plans to pit 11 sets of people against each other in another race to see who can lose the most weight. This season will air at 8pm every Tuesday night on NBC until a winner of the competition is crowned.

The premise of The Biggest Loser is to pit individuals or teams (in this instance teams) against each other in fitness challenges as well as competitions to try and improve the health of the contestants. Normally the participants are overweight by a lot, and are on the show with the intent of finding a better and healthier life style as a result. In some seasons, contestants have lost more than 100 pounds, and the end result usually ends up being a much brighter outlook for the rest of their lives.

Alison Sweeney will be returning as the host of the show, and continue to bring her sparkling personality and energy to the job. She is best known (outside of this show) for her starring role on Days of Our Lives for quite a number of years. She will help encourage the contestants, along with several nutritionists and professional trainers (Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper this season) to help the contestants shed the pound in a healthy combination of diet and exercise.

The whole point of the show is to help people become healthier and guide them towards a better lifestyle. But the show isn't just about that, as there is a grand prize of $250,000 awaiting the winter of The Biggest Loser. Weekly shows will highlight how well people are doing, and slowly eliminate contestants until the winning couple is decided on the spring finale of the show. It is at that point when everyone will learn who has won the cash prize.
