The weight-loss reality show, ‘The Biggest Loser’ might have attracted lots of controversy, but that hasn’t stopped it from being popular. The format has witnessed 30 adaptations all over the world. The show functions as a 30-week competition wherein each contestant’s starting weight is measured. The contestant who manages to lose the most weight at the end of each season is declared the winner.
The series was rebooted for an eighteenth season after a four-year gap with several changes. For instance, there is more focus on education and the science behind weight loss. This helps contestants and viewers learn more about the need to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
