The Biggest Loser ~ Couples ~ premieres with 11 teams of two competing for season 9!!! :happytv:

The players are Michael Ventrella, a 30-year-old deejay from Chicago, who at 526 lbs. becomes the heaviest contestant ever on the series, and his mother, Maria, a 51-year-old corporate travel agent.

The Ventrellas are one of eight parent-child duos on the show this season.

Attorney Melissa Morgan, 39, and her husband Lance, 38, a rancher, hail from Aspermont, Texas, and are both interested in losing weight and saving their marriage.

California-based cousins Sam Poueu, 24, and Koli Palu, 29, were inspired by the success of Tongan cousins Sione and Filipe in Season 7 and hope to do the same for the people and culture of American Samoa.

Orlando, Fla., identical twins James and John Crutchfield, 30, weighed in at a combined 969 lbs. “I’m glad I’m here,” says James, “because my only other alternative is surgery.”

Mom Patti Anderson, 55, a business owner, and daughter Stephanie Anderson, 29, a radio sales executive, from Lafayette and West Hollywood, Calif.

Mom Cherita Andrews a 50-year-old homemaker and daughter Vicky Andrews, a 22-year-old student from Houston, Texas.

Mom Miggy Cancel, 48, a Pemberton, N.J. chef and daughter Migdalia Sebren, 28, a homemaker from Sanford, N.C.

Mom Cheryl George a 50-year-old store-owner and son, Daris George, 25, a salesman, from Ardmore, Okla.

Father O’Neal Hampton, Jr., a U.S. Postal Service station manager, 51, and daughter SunShine Hampton, 24, a restaurant server, from Minneapolis, Minn.

Father Darrell Hough, a press operator and mechanic, 46, and daughter Andrea Hough, a 24-year-old executive assistant from Ann Arbor, Mich.

Mom Sherry Johnston, a 51-year-old non-profit administrator and daughter Ashley Johnston, a 27-year-old manager and esthetician from Knoxville, Tenn.
 
Thanks for posting this, I didn't realize that the new season starts in 2 days! :thumbsup2
 
I can't wait!

But I hope they make some adjustments to the training for Michael! It could NOT be safe to have him exercising to the extremes that they usually do. (Although I thought the same about Daniel and Shay...)

I am so afraid that something bad is doing to happen to one of these contestants, although I realize that by the time the first episode airs, the contestants are already off the ranch. Right?
 

I guess I have to stock up on icecream and chips, you have to have the right combination of snacks to watch the show with. popcorn::

:lmao: ITA!!!
 
I can't wait, although I worry that they are pushing the extremes. Every season we have a new heaviest person and I wonder how healthy it is for these people to be on the show. Each season they go to new extremes in the challenges and the training. How long before somebody suffers an even more serious even that Vicki or even dies?
 
DH just ordered an exercise bike for us. I'm hoping it is here soon and that I will actually use it while watching the show, rather than snacking like usual.
 
Guilty Confession: At our house we call this show Fat Camp.

I thought last season was a little bland. Even Googly-eyed Tracey turned mushy mushy nice by the end.

I read an article that said they had to bring in new equipment to handle the even larger contestants this season - like an underwater treadmill to reduce knee impact. I hope we get to see some of it in use.

and yeah, I really didn't like that they hospitalized two contestants right off the bat last season. Way over the top.
 
Oh I cannot wait!!! This is one of my favorites shows. I too wonder how these heavy people can keep up with the extreme exercising.
