The Biggest Loser

From TeeVeePedia, the Internet TV Encyclopedia.

The Biggest Loser is an NBC reality show that began airing in 2004 and quickly became one of the Peacock Network's top-rated programs. Set each season in a randomly picked California high school, The Biggest Loser determines which person among the student body is the biggest loser in the entire school. Each week, nerds, freaks, geeks, ugly people and the just plain unpopular are forced to compete by the show's producers in a series of typical reality show events. Immeidately after the show airs, viewers call in to vote for their least favorite contestant. "Winners" on The Biggest Loser are forced to go on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to have their lives ruined remade by Ty Pennington.

The Biggest Loser airs on Tuesday nights this fall.
