The Biggest Loser is back next year, minus Michelle Bridges and The Commando.
Is that… even a thing? Say it ain’t so. Without these two the show is just Saturday morning boot camp. We’re staying in bed.
And that’s not all. The show is nixing the morbidly obese contestants and replacing them with ‘average Aussies’. And let’s be honest, average means overweight, because more than 60 per cent of us fit the bill. Yikes.
This week on The Binge, we talk about whether we’ll be tuning in for the new season.
Loser veteran Shannan Ponton is back for season 11, and he’ll be joined by Sydney-based trainer Libby Babet.
“Rather than just the people who are 200 plus kilos, we want people who are on the slide — and if something doesn’t come up now then they’re going to end up super unhealthy and overweight in the future,” says Ponton.
