The Biggest Loser (2004-2016) is a Reality TV show on NBC where a number of overweight individuals compete to lose the greatest amount of weight while living at a special ranch. The contestants are divided into two (or more) teams, each of which works out with a specific trainer, while facing temptations and reward challenges. At the end of each week, each contestant is weighed, and the participants vote out one of the two contestants who lost the least percentage of their body weight during the week. The final remaining contestant wins $250,000. A second prize of $100,000 is awarded to the contestant who loses the most weight after being eliminated as a motivation to continue to lose weight after elimination.The show is currently hosted by Alison Sweeney from Days of Our Lives (formerly, Caroline Rhea of Sabrina the Teenage Witch). Bob Harper has been a trainer since the first season. Jillian Michaels was a trainer for 7 seasons, but left the show after season 11 finished. Two new trainers, Cara Castronova and Brett Hoebel, were introduced in season 11, but were not brought back for season 12. Pro tennis player Anna Kournikova and personal trainer Dolvett Quince were the new trainers for season 12, with Anna leaving at the end of the season, leaving Bob and Dolvett as the trainers for season 13. Jillian returned for season 14, with herself, Bob, and Dolvett as the trainers on three teams.As of February 2016, sixteen full seasons and two specials have aired in the United States, as well as 22 seasons in 11 other countries.In July 2017, the show's doctor, Dr. Huizenga, claimed that the show had been cancelled due to allegations from a former contestant that illegal diet pills were being distributed with his permission; he has filed a lawsuit against the contestant making the claims and repeatedly denied that the allegations are true.In May 2019, a reboot of the show was announced by USA Network, to premiere in 2020. | |

The Biggest Loser / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: Rachel winning Season 15. This was the first and only example to date of a contestant beginning the show morbidly obese and actually ending the show underweight. This victory received a lot of backlash, even from the trainers themselves, such as Jillian who appeared flabbergasted at the finale. Thankfully, Rachel gained back 20 pounds after the finale and says that the weight loss, was, indeed, healthy. | |

Senseless Sacrifice | |
The Biggest Loser / int_1dacdb4f | comment |
Senseless Sacrifice: An infamous example occurred in the Season 13 Final Five. Twice. The remaining 5 contestants caught wind of the news that an eliminated candidate would be returning for the finale after winning a final challenge, and given their experiences with the Aqua Team they were furious and collectively quit in protest of the decision. Three of the contestants wound up coming to their senses but Buddy and Mark quit for good and left the ranch, disqualifying themselves for the at-home prize. This, in itself, is a questionable move, but any basis for the action is totally negated when Jeremy, one of the three remaining contestants, was eliminated via the red line at that week's weigh-in and then brought himself back into the game via the aforementioned controversial challenge. Given the primary motivation was "someone who hasn't been here doesn't deserve it as much as we do", this was absolutely painful to watch in hindsight. | |

The Biggest Loser / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: Season 13, where Conda makes it into the final three and ends up losing, but her brother ends up winning anyway, probably also significantly benefiting her in the long run. It doesn't help that the other candidate in the final three (besides the two siblings) also had a rather spotty track record with fans. | |

Fat Comic Relief | |
The Biggest Loser / int_2ef89a18 | comment |
Fat Comic Relief: Todd Nester in The Biggest Loser Australia: The Next Generation. He is shown, within in the first minute of the episode pouring seven spring rolls into a deep fat fryer and then sitting down to gorge on them and later is shown greedily gobbling his way through a full English breakfast dripping in gravy and ketchup and playing on the Wii with his sister — the only problem? He's sat down to play it! He's also scared of heights, over exaggerates his facial expressions when exercising, and learns nothing in the first eight weeks of camp as he makes a pig of himself on a temptation challenge to stay in the show. Fortunately, he averts this by being cute and actually learning in the later weeks; eventually, he and his father come in second place. Todd now plays professional baseball. | |

Kick the Dog: Bob and Jillian will occasionally use variants of this on contestants who spectacularly fail to meet expectations. Jillian pushes one contestant so far that, when pulling her across the room like she asked, he doesn't stop and actually drags her down the stairs, almost attempting to finish her off. Jillian later expressly states that she think he was "trying to kill [Jillian]". | |

Cluster F-Bomb: The reaction during week 14's weigh in from all four trainers and several contestants in season 11, when Courtney lost 1 pound, 2 pounds short of what was needed to keep herself on the ranch, therefore automatically eliminating not only her, but her trainer Brett, from the competition. The censor bleeps were heard for about 30 seconds after the final number popped up on the scale. | |

Broken Aesop | |
The Biggest Loser / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: The show wants you to know that being fat is bad, and being fat means you'll definitely become deeply unhealthy and die. Therefore, in order to save people from this horrible fate, contestants are screamed at and berated to the point of emotional abuse, publicly humiliated, made to exercise for up to eight hours a day, sometimes being forced to keep going even if they're having trouble breathing or have even vomited, while (allegedly, according to some former contestants) eating about a thousand calories a daynote For reference, most adults should be eating something like twice that., and sometimes pushed to the point of having to be hospitalized, all with no therapists or psychiatrists on-site. You know... for the good of their health! The show in general equates fatness with bad health and thinness with good health, which is just not true. Even ignoring the matter of eating disorders and people who are severely underweight, nearly everyone knows at least a couple people who eat junk food and smoke and drink and never exercise... who also happen to be skinny. Similarly, nearly everyone knows at least a couple people who eat well and exercise and are generally in good health, who happen to be fat. Most of the time, you cannot tell someone's health by simply looking at them. But since the show only picks contestants who are: a) fat, b) happen to also be unhealthy, and c) wish to lose weight, it can portray the "fat = unhealthy", "thin = healthy" thing as a straight-up fact, which it very much is not. All this really undermines the message that the show is meant to be improving the health of its contestants. Alas, the complexities of the human body and the reality that some people are just built differently doesn't make very exciting reality TV. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Non-fatal variety: Some contestants, when a team must vote to eliminate someone, will ask to be voted off so that weaker or less healthy players can go on. Patrick in season 12 is a prime example. Sean and Antoine from season 8 also sacrificed themselves when Daniel and Shay, arguably the most desperate team in the game at the time, were up for elimination with them. | |

The Biggest Loser / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Season 10 contestant Ada has been the black sheep of her family pretty much her entire life, dating back to a brother's death when she was a toddler. Not only was she emotionally abused by her parents, her family did not make any contact with her while she was on the ranch. Jessica from the same season suffered abuse from her mother, as well. However, both Ada and Jessica reconcile with their parents by the end of the season. When Ada's mother was interviewed at the end of Season 10, what was subtitled was very different from what she actually said. While the subtitles made it seem like she was proud of her daughter, she was actually mocking how fat Ada was. Doubles as Asian Rudeness. | |

Epic Fail | |
The Biggest Loser / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: Daphne's plan to sabotage the teams in season 13 to seek revenge for what happened to her brother should qualify. To do this, she ate almost two thousand calories and all she did was exchange two members between the teams. She lies about doing this initially, but eventually commits social suicide by admitting she was the culprit well into the week. The fact that she was a "new" contestant who didn't have the same bonds that other members of her team had was enough of a roadblock, but this was the nail in her coffin. Predictably, her entire team throws the weigh-in, almost all pulling awful numbers (the net weight loss for this team of five this weigh-in was a whopping twelve pounds). Because her team lost, Daphne's only chance of survival was to become the biggest loser for the night. This doesn't happen; in fact, she ends up gaining two pounds. Everyone on the show was totally puzzled by the lack of common sense behind this decision, including the trainers, and in probably the least shocking elimination that entire season, Daphne was eliminated. And to make matters even worse for her, both of the people she switched ended up making it into the final 3, and one of them even won the entire game! | |

Obvious Rule Patch: In Season 4, Neil threw a weigh-in by water-loading, gaining 17 pounds in one week, and then losing 33 the next week, 17 of which was the water. Come Season 5, weight gained in previous weigh-ins no longer counted. Matt from Season 2 pulled a similar stunt, but rather than being met with intense anger and animosity like Neil did, Matt's strategy was actually applauded by Caroline Rhea when he lost 26 pounds after intentionally gaining 12 pounds when he was immune the previous week. | |

Last of His Kind: Danni in Season 14 was the last/only member of Jillian's team after all 4 of her teammates were eliminated within the first 4 episodes. | |

Too Good for This Sinful Earth | |
The Biggest Loser / int_ee9877ea | comment |
Too Good for This Sinful Earth: (Obviously) Non-death examples: Jim (Season 4), Jerry (Season 4), Mike (Season 12), and Aaron (Season 1) were all exemplary, consistent contestants that were completely thrown under the bus by their (usually less capable) team members and eliminated early on, all for gameplay related reasons. Virtually all of the nice and even the more neutral contestants in Season 13 were eliminated by the final 5. | |

Food Porn: Both in attempts to tempt the contestants, and when celebrity chefs give them cooking lessons. | |

Pet the Dog: While the trainers ride the contestants hard during workouts, they have a good sense of when a contestant is about to hit an emotional wall and crack, and will take time to talk with contestants and work them through these moments. | |
