HOME > The Biggest Loser 2NBC's 'The Biggest Loser 2' to debut August 9, feature men vs. women
NBC has announced The Biggest Loser 2, its previously announced sequel to last fall's new surprise hit reality series, will debut on Tuesday, August 9 at 8PM ET/PT with a 90-minute episode. Tommy Lee Goes To College, a new half-hour reality series that will follow notorious Motley Crue rocker Tommy Lee as he returns to school to get the college experience he never had, will follow at 9:30PM ET/PT
Taking a page from the reality TV twist book successfully used by other shows like Survivor and The Apprentice, The Biggest Loser 2 will feature a "battle of the sexes" setup, with Jillian coaching the all-female red team and Bob coaching the all-male blue team.
Just as in the show's initial season, the teams will compete in weekly challenges and weigh-ins, with weekly eliminations narrowing the fourteen contestant field until only one of them is named "the biggest loser" and wins the competition's $250,000 grand prize. According to the Los Angeles area's Daily Breeze newspaper, The Biggest Loser 2 began filming at a secluded Simi Valley horse ranch in March, with production expected to run through June. Ryan Benson, a 36-year-old from Spokane, Washington who works in DVD production, won The Biggest Loser's initial season with a total weight loss of 122 pounds. Produced by Reveille, 25/7 Productions, 3 Ball Productions and NBC Universal Television Studio, The Biggest Loser 2 is executive produced by Ben Silverman, Dave Broome, J.D. Roth, John Foy, and Todd A. Nelson |
