NBC’S HIT WEIGHT-LOSS SERIES “THE BIGGEST LOSER” LAUNCHING
NATIONWIDE, 13-CITY SEARCH FOR NEW CONTESTANTS
Casting Call Auditions To Be Held in Boston, Dallas, Chicago,
Atlanta, New York City, Nashville, Oklahoma City, Miami, Columbus,
Suffolk, Las Vegas, Mesa and Los Angeles
BURBANK, CA – February 11, 2008 – NBC's popular reality
series "The Biggest Loser" is launching a 13-city
cross-country search to find new contestants for the next edition of
the hit show.
With the success of the "team" theme this season in
"The Biggest Loser: Couples," producers are once again
looking for outgoing and charismatic teams of two who have the
personality, desire and competitive edge to vie for this
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lose weight, change their lives
forever and compete for a grand prize of $250,000.
Teams can include family members (siblings, cousins, parent and
adult child, etc.), spouses, dating or engaged couples,
grandparents, co-workers, former teammates or athletes, best friends
and college students. Candidates must be at least 18 years of age
and legal residents of the United States.
While they will try to see everyone, "The Biggest
Loser" casting teams guarantee the first 500 people in line
will be seen. People will not be allowed to line up prior to three
hours before the start of the open call. Candidates should bring a
non-returnable photo of themselves and their partners.
With the exception of Miami's casting call, which will be held
from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., all casting calls will be held at the
