Biggest Loser: Get to Know Some of the New Contestants

The next new season of The Biggest Loser is set to begin on January 5 at 8/7c on NBC. I’m already getting excited about the new contestants and will be trying to lose weight along with them.

To help you get to know the new crop of Biggest Loser contestants, I’ll be posting video clips where each of them tells a bit of their story.

I got so interested in those two because of their warm and wonderful personalities and these new cousins seem very much like them. They also lost an uncle just three days before getting to the ranch. He died because of health conditions brought on by his weight. Watch this:
