‘The Biggest Loser’ Season 11 Cast Announced
Each season of The Biggest Loser brings a new twist. For season 11, which premieres on Jan. 4, it involves the two trainers brought in to help replace Jillian Michaels when she leaves the show at the end of the season.
Depending on where contestants place in the first challenge, they’ll be able to decide whether they want to work with Bob Harper and Michaels on the ranch, or move to a secret location and work out with two mystery trainers in exchange for four weeks of immunity. NBC promises “a riveting ride of intense emotions, surprising turns and ‘can’t miss’ moments” will ensue.
It’s fitting that the newbie trainers will be paired up together, since the next ‘Biggest Loser’ will be a couples edition. After the jump, learn more about the latest batch of ‘Losers,’ courtesy an NBC press release.
