The new season is upon us. Already? Season 12 seemed to have just ended. However the Biggest Loser is back on NBC for Season 13 entitled "No Excuses." Bob Harper is of course back for his 13th season while relatively new to the show Dolvett Quince is back for his second season.
This season 20 contestants arrive at the ranch to be pushed to lose as much weight as they can. They came in ten pairs. Nine of the pairs are family members or friends. One pair were strangers. However this season is not like the other partner seasons of the Biggest Losers. They split the pairs in half with one member going to Bob and the other to Dolvett. The thought behind this decision to have people in relationships with one another compete is to cut off the ties to people who may hold us back. All part of that "No Excuses" mantra.
It seems to me that the absence of estrogen on the show since Jillian Michaels left the show after its 11th season and Anna Kornakova who could not handle the competition after one season is quite evident. Dolvett and Bob seem to be in battle with one another more than the contestants are. Definitely wish that Jillian would come back!
I do think that this season will be as heartwarming and crazy as ever. It is the only season to have a man who looks like Santa Claus his name is Roy and the Biggest Loser production company of course made him on the red team. Bob Harper also said in the Season premiere last night that this is a "smaller bunch" than he is use to. However, they are still quite a large group with stories to tell and journeys to learn from.
The Biggest Loser is on NBC on Tuesdays at 8/7 central.
