The Biggest Loser: Special Edition (Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

The Biggest Loser: Special Edition is an NBC reality television show that began broadcasting on January 4, 2006.

Synopsis

Instead of the normal 12-14 strangers competing to lose the most weight, the special edition version consists of teams who already know each other. The show continues to be hosted by comedian Caroline Rhea with Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels as the two personal trainers.

Instead of spending months at the ranch and then continuing to lose weight at home, the special edition contestants are only spending 11 days at the ranch and then returning home for "several" months. At the end, the contestants come back to be weighed and one team declared The Biggest Loser.
