On Tuesday, December 13, NBC's THE BIGGEST LOSER will reveal its newest champion on an exciting live season finale. In the show, the contestants from this season return for a special reunion and a chance to weigh in one last time - and show America how much weight they've all lost since beginning their weight-loss journeys.
Those who have been eliminated will compete for the $100,000 "at home" prize. Then it's the moment viewers have been waiting for, when one of the three finalists will be named this season's "Biggest Loser" and win the coveted grand prize of $250,000! Alison Sweeney hosts the series, and trainers Bob Harper, Anna Kournikova and Dolvett Quince also star.
THE BIGGEST LOSER kicked off Season 12 in September with two new trainers - Anna Kournikova and Dolvett Quince - joining Biggest Loser favorite Bob Harper and 15 contestants.
The Season 12 contestants ranged in age from 24 to 65. In the premiere, host Alison Sweeney told the teams that they will make their first game-changing decision - who their trainer will be - in the order in which they finish the first challenge. They had a choice of longtime Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper, or one of the two new trainers - internationally recognized tennis star and certified trainer Anna Kournikova or top fitness expert Dolvett Quince.
Once each team chose its trainer, the "Battle of the Ages" began. And past seasons of the show - with a previous winner who was 48 and an at-home winner who was 64 - have proven that The Biggest Loser is anyone's game to win, regardless of age.
The new contestants included Vinny, who overcame a difficult childhood to become a successful Nashville recording artist; Antone, a 447-pound father of four and former NFL player for the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons; and Jennifer, a television producer who has accomplished every goal she has set for herself except one - losing weight. Viewers will also meet Jessica, a travelling registered nurse whose long work shifts make it more challenging to eat healthy; Patrick, who wants to lose weight to pass the physical agility test required to pursue his dream of being a police officer; and Bonnie, a 63-year-old grandmother of six who lost her home to Hurricane Katrina and lost her husband not long after.
THE BIGGEST LOSER Finale airs live on Tuesday, December 13th at 9:00 pm/et on the NBC network.
