How to Become a Contestant on The Biggest
Loser

If you find yourself envious of the folks competing on this weight loss reality show, you may have wondered how to become a contestant on The Biggest Loser. Fortunately, it's simple to apply to be a contestant. The difficult part is waiting to hear if you've been selected to be on the show!

Lose weight on The Biggest Loser.

The Biggest Loser is a reality TV show on NBC. Overweight contestants compete against each other to lose weight, get healthy, and remain in the competition. The contestants are divided into teams, and each team has its own personal trainer. The trainers are Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels.

The emphasis on the show is to teach the contestants how to make healthy choices when eating, and how to keep up with a regular exercise regimen. Those who reach the end of the series have always lost an impressive amount of weight, and sometimes end up looking like totally different people.

The Biggest Loser is a successful reality TV show and films new seasons quite often. This is good news for potential contestants, as the show's producers are always on the lookout for fresh faces.

The first place to look for casting calls is the official NBC.com casting page. When the show is looking for new contestants, the basic information will be posted here. Make sure to read the casting calls carefully, as sometimes the show searches for teams of two or more people to compete together.

The NBC page, while helpful for noticing new casting calls, does not list all the specifics for auditioning or applying. When a new call is posted to the network site, it will lead you to The Biggest Loser casting website.

Here's how to become a contestant on The Biggest Loser by sending in an application and video.

From the casting website, download the official application form. Fill out this form carefully, paying close attention to all of the details. You'll also need to include a current photo of yourself.

Put together a ten-minute video of yourself, and your team member(s) if necessary. Read all of the instructions for the video with a keen eye for detail. Here are some guidelines to get you started.

• Make sure the tape runs as close to ten minutes as possible, without going over.
• Use the time wisely to share the reasons why you think you should be on the show, why you want to lose the weight, and to show your true personality.
• Don't be fake; producers want to see the real you.
• If you are required to apply as part of a team, make sure both team members are portrayed in the video.
• Ensure that the final copy of the video is in the right format. Acceptable formats will be noted on the casting website.
• Start the video off by stating your details, including your name, age, hometown, height, and weight.

When you have the application form, photo, and video ready, mail it in to the address provided on the website. Pay attention to the deadlines, as applications sent in after the postmark deadline will not be accepted.

The Biggest Loser usually holds a series of open casting calls when a new season is coming up. To find the dates and locations to audition, check out the casting website for links to download the schedule. If there is no link available, the calls have already taken place, or are not being held this time around.

It's important to note that if you do attend a casting call, you do not need to send in a mailed application and video. Also, bring an application form with you as well as valid photo I.D.

If there are no current casting calls listed, or the deadline for mailed-in applications has passed, keep checking back to see when the next round will begin. If you've sent in an application or attended a casting call and haven't heard back, then you can always try again when the casting cycle starts all over again!
