The Biggest Loser (Season 3)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Biggest Loser is an NBC reality television show that began broadcasting on October 19, 2004. Season Three began on September 20, 2006 with fifty overweight contestants, one from each of the fifty US states, who compete to lose the most weight. Right away, the group was narrowed down to 14 when the trainers each selected seven competitors for their teams. The show is hosted by comedian Caroline Rhea. Bob Harper and Kim Lyons are the two personal trainers.
The fifty contestants were narrowed down to 14 contestants prior to the release date of the show. Out of these 14, a set of finalists were determined prior to the release date of the show. On the final episode, Erik had the largest percentage of weight loss, having lost 214 lbs. He received $250,000 for this feat. Additionally the individual who lost the most out of the 36 who didn't make it to the regular season won $50,000, and the individual who lost the most out of the remaining 8 who made it onto the show, but didn't make it to the finals, won $100,000.
