Season 17 of The Biggest Loser (which premieres Monday, Jan. 4 at 9 p.m. ET on NBC) is going to be a whole new ballgame! We’ll be tackling temptation all season long. We wanted to attack every kind of temptation that we could think of on every episode.
One huge thing that we found from past contestants is the struggle that they experienced when it was time for them to go back to the “real world,” so we wanted to showcase that. We thought we could give people tools they can use when faced with any sort of temptation, whether you’re a contestant or a viewer.
Meet the Contestants for Season 17 of The Biggest Loser
Another thing that will be very different about our show this season is that I will be the new host and, I have to tell you, I was so excited to step into that role. When I was first approached about taking on that position, I really wanted to bring my voice and my “flavor” into it. I’ve been on the show since the beginning, so I know all the ins and outs and I’m not going to let anybody get away with anything—contestants OR trainers. I’m going to challenge everyone this season because I’m being challenged with this new role.
So what you can count on this season with The Biggest Loser is a lot of blood, sweat and tears, but mostly a fresh feel to a show that has been on for 16 seasons and weigh-in rooms where NO ONE is safe. Hahahahaha!
