Reality Roll Call

From NBC:

NBC announced today the eight families - eight teams of two — who will be competing in “The Biggest Loser: Families,” premiering Tuesday, September 16 (8-10 p.m. ET). Alison Sweeney (NBC’s “Days of our Lives”) hosts the popular series, and trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.

It’s all about families in season six of “The Biggest Loser,” which features four husband-and-wife teams and four parent-child duos trying to lose weight through diet and exercise as they compete for a grand prize of $250,000. Harper will train the spouses, while Michaels trains the parents and their adult children.

With the focus on families comes more emotion and drama than ever before, as contestants share their compelling stories, including a mother and daughter who were estranged for over five years before going on the show, newlyweds who want to get healthy so they can have kids, a father with more life-threatening health issues than any contestant in the history of the show, and parents who want to get healthy to be better examples to their kids - including their overweight four-year-old daughter who already outweighs their seven-year-old son.
