The Biggest Loser, regardless of whether or not you like it, has been a reality TV institution. It was a big hit at one point for NBC, and there was even a joke on 30 Rock about it being almost entirely the priority of the network’s executives. When they were struggling in an era before The Voice premiered, it was […]
Ratings Bubble Report, The Biggest Loser
It was really not that long ago that “The Biggest Loser” was the best thing that NBC had going for it. The ratings were pretty strong, and there was even a “30 Rock” joke about the network was devoting almost all of its resources to it versus everything else on their declining network. However, times […]
While we criticized CBS for their decision to air repeats for their entire primetime lineup Monday, we say that primarily as someone who doesn’t care for sports. The College Football Championship between Alabama and Clemson on Monday night generated more than likely huge ratings, and there was a fear that it would swallow some other […]
Monday night is not just the premiere of “The Bachelor” on ABC; another long-running franchise in “The Biggest Loser” is also back on with new episodes, and based on everything that NBC is putting out there at the moment, this could be one of the more interesting seasons that we’ve seen to date.

While “The Biggest Loser” will not premiere on NBC until Monday, January 4, the network is wasting little time giving you a chance to see some of the contestants!

For the first time in more than ten seasons, there is a big change happening in the hosting position for “The Biggest Loser”: Alison Sweeney is not going to be back as host for season 17. The show confirmed the news in a brief statement earlier in the day to “Access Hollywood”: “After an incredible […]
Happy New Year! With there being such a limited programming lineup tonight, we thought it would be a good idea to check back in with “The Biggest Loser.” Did we hate the theme of this from the beginning? Definitely. The “Glory Days” part of this competition is actually overblown, since it is barely recognized on […]
What is going on with “The Biggest Loser” this season? While the weight-loss competition rarely gets a ton of publicity, it does typically serve as a consistent part of the NBC lineup. Well, we have a great explanation for the show’s series-low 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic last night: It was a terrible idea […]
Over the past several months, us conspiracy junkies have all tried to formulate a variety of theories as to why Jillian Michaels may have left “The Biggest Loser.” One easy theory has been that she was maybe unhappy about the twist that Ruben Studdard benefited from heavily this past season, or that she was disturbed […]
