I saw an interview for one of the contestants that really confused me! It sounded like it had already started - well lol I guess it had! It was a blond woman in a green shirt - and she had lost her husband and newborn baby - they were in a fatal car accident!!

I'm sure it has already started (workouts and filming, just not on air - this isn't a live show - and they sometimes fib about it being "1 week" between weigh-ins). When we finally see the show the contestants have already finished CAMP and the finalist are at home (they usually are home for a couple of months until the final weigh-in).

It looked like there were some people who came back (the kid from the orange team).

About 3-4 weeks ago they were doing the Make Over episode - and this Season they were doing it in front of a studio audience.

My friend had a ticket to go to it in fact, but she had to work late that night and missed it. It was either the last week in July or the first week in August.

I saw a segment on Entertainment Tonight the other night about one of the contestants as well. She is the heaviest contestant ever at nearly 500 lbs. Her mom recently passed from a Heroin addiction and this girl grew up in foster homes. Food was her comfort which I totally understand.

Yes, the young guy from last year who was partnered with his friend who didn't care as much is back this year and is partnered with the heaviest woman contestant. He seems very motivated this year and I hope he will be able to motivate his partner. Also the girl who won a spot to be on the show when she was on last year's finale is there.

It has been filming or was for quite awhile.. Allison Sweeney has tweeted about it for some time, about the production and working out herself.

After several years as a viewer, I have decided I want to do something about my weight too. Joined weight watchers two weeks ago.

Usually I stuff myself with junk food while watching BL. Sort of a perverse thing. Not this year!

lol, gidget (and i guess i'm stalking you around the threads)...
when we're watching bl, inevitably it's while chowing down on a bowl of ice cream.
i had to buy some of those itty bitty ice cream bites so i'd feel less guilty as i watched the contestants work out.
my bad.

NBC's hit series "The Biggest Loser" returns for season eight with a special theme of "second chances" – and a must-see premiere on Tuesday, September 15 (8-10 p.m. ET). Alison Sweeney ("Days of our Lives") hosts the popular series, and trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels return to train 16 contestants eager to get their second chances at a new lease on life.

Their individual stories are compelling, from a firefighter (Allen Smith) whose health and job are at risk because of his weight to a military wife and mother of four (Tracey Yukich) who has always put others first. Viewers will also meet a remarkable woman (Abby Rike) who endured the worst tragedy imaginable – losing her husband and two children in a deadly car crash – and who now gets a second chance to restart her life.

Last season's heaviest contestant and fan favorite Daniel Wright will also return for a second chance to finish the weight loss journey he started in season seven, going from 454 lbs. to 312 lbs. He'll inspire a female social worker (Shay Sorrells) that has taken his place as the heaviest contestant in the history of "The Biggest Loser," weighing in at 476 lbs. Also included in the new season of players is Amanda Arlauskas, a 19-year old who was voted in by America during the season 7 finale of the show in May, and hopes to get a second chance to live the life she always dreamed of living. They'll all come together for a second chance to transform their bodies, their health and ultimately their lives.

"The Biggest Loser" has become a worldwide hit airing in over 90 countries and produced in 25 countries. Since its debut in 2004, "The Biggest Loser" has grown to become a standalone health and lifestyle brand by developing tools and products inspired by the show and approved by its doctors and experts. Anchored by the online, subscription-based extension of the show, Biggestloserclub.com, The Biggest Loser Meal Plan, The New York Times best-selling books series, best-selling fitness DVD series, a line of appliances, fitness equipment, protein supplements and countless other health and lifestyle based products, The Biggest Loser consumer products program has generated over $50 million in spending with presence at more than 25,000 major retailers to date. Check out www.biggestloser.com for more information.

I am confused that there are, in the pictures on the site, uneven numbers in the two shirt colors.

I noticed that too Sea. But I think as I read it, Daniel is returning as a mentor. He's going to participate in weight loss but I got the impression maybe he isn't going to be a contestant? I think it is his color shirts that has the one extra. On the otherhand, I also read that he is teamed with the heaviest girl?

Okay I feel squirrely. I just went back and looked at the url KL posted and there are 8 and 8!

I would swear that the first time I looked there was more disparity.

Oh and there is one guy with a blue shirt but it is easy to miss him when counting from the group pic.
