One question that I get emailed about more than almost anything else lately is “How can I get on the Biggest Loser?”
I know that many people are interested in the show, after 7 or 8 seasons now people have seen so many success stories on the Biggest Loser that they can’t help but think that there is no way that they can lose the they want to lose without getting on the biggest loser.
I for one don’t believe that at all, no matter if you want to lose 20 in one month or lose 100 pounds in a year there are always ways to lose the without going on a TV show. Really! Believe it.
How to get on the Biggest Loser
Ok, now after that if you really want to know how to get on the Biggest Loser I have a plan that won’t guarantee anything but I think will improve your chances to get on the Biggest Loser.
Just to let you know, you need to be a resident of the US to get in. no Canadians or others allowed
Before you get started go to the Biggest Loser Casting page. Click here for entry rules and procedure.
First of all, you have to fill out an application form at the NBC site and send in a video. As you can imagine there are quite a few people trying to get on the Biggest Loser and the only way that the people in the casting department can narrow down this huge list is by kicking people off the list or finding exceptional people.
The only way that you can be chosen for the Biggest Loser is to have an impressive application and video, there is no other way to make an impression.
Biggest Loser Application Tips
The application is long, 9 pages in fact so print out a couple of copies. Make one rough copy with lots of notes and give yourself at least a couple of days to really lay out what is important and what will be qualities that set you apart from everyone else trying to get on the Biggest Loser.
After you have filled out all the notes then get another copy of the application and print all the answers very clearly in the space provided. Keep your answers very clear and direct, do not use any unnecessary words, this is one of only two ways to impress those judges.
Biggest Loser Video Tips
The video that you make is going to be the real way of setting yourself apart from all of the other people trying to get on the Biggest Loser TV Show. Try to have the best production quality that you can.
As far as the length of video make sure that it is not any longer than 10 minutes. As you can imagine there are a lot of videos to get through and the people casting the Biggest Loser are going to only want to spend a few minutes and if they have not been caught by you by then they will move on to the next tape.
Make sure that your video is fairly closeup, you do not want to be too far away from the camera and no one should have to strain to hear what you have to say.
Try to be very upbeat, not like you are crazy but on the other hand, remember that they casters for the Biggest Loser are going to be looking for people that are fun and interesting to watch. If you are just heavy but will not draw in viewers then people will not want to tune into the show, so you will not be chosen.
Make sure you do wardrobe changes. Show the casting people on the Biggest Loser what you look like in a bathing suit, workout clothes, regular clothes and this way that will also get a feeling for what you are like.
Finally, let the viewers of your video know what you are like and why you should be on the show. which helps you to be very clear as to why you need to be on the show, your past successes and failures, your weight loss history and how you want to make the change for you and the people around you.
Will you get on the Biggest Loser?
As you probably know that chances of getting on the Biggest Loser are slim but unlike a lottery they are going to pick 16 people every season so there is a chance if you present yourself well to actually get on the show.
Good Luck, if you do get on the Biggest Loser leave a comment and let us know.

I was at teh open auditions for Biggest Loser in Dallas on Sat. and I received a call back for an interview I went to yesterday! It was and exciting and wonderful experience!!! I’m ready to make it all the wait and can’t wait for the third round of interviews!!!
all i want to know is what is the last day of the 09 biggest loser show?
thanks

I agree with you guys. I live in Canada, and I know a lot of people including myself who would like to be on the show. I have tried many diets and guess what they all fail. I need the support and “the push” by highly trained trainers and other contestants. Having a show in Canada could save a lot of lives. I am only 21 and would like to live for a long time. At the i am now I dont think i will see past 30. PLease Do a canadian version of the biggest loser! it will do wonders…
I think you shouldnt have to be 18 to be on this show. I think there are more obese teens out there and they are the future of America and they should be helped too. Im 16 and im 5’6 and i weigh 249 lbs and i have tried many times before to lose . There are many other teens i know that this show would be the push they need to lose the and be healthy again. Its not only health issues with teens its self-esteem. Many over- teens have bad self esteem issues and leads to depressive eating and then even worse health problems. I believe that teens should have the same rights as adults to lead happy, healthy lives.
I agree with mattew… you think people in Canada don’t need help. Well we do. I’m 27, 5’2 and weigh 215lbs. I’m tired of my going up & down like a yo-yo. If you won’t let us Canadians be apart of the biggest loser than how about starting a canadian version, like every other reality show.
i do not think that is far that you have to be living in the U.S. to go on the bigesloser what is up with that rule i live an canada and i am fat and i am 18 i need to lose and my mom she is 40 and she needs to loss to.So can u let my mom and i be the frist ones in canada to be on your show we will love it alot. can you e-mail me back me and my mom would appreciate it thank-you 🙂
I would love to be on the biggest loser because I am 26 and is 250 pound and sometimes I don’t think I will live to see 30 I done almost everything but always go back to the same thing I have two son I need to live for,I would I for my little sister to come because she 22 is over 350 poundsshe can’t even walk a block without getting tired she can’t havr baby bacause of her . So if anyone know how to get on the show pleasse email me thank you
Do you have a betetr chance of being noticed if you use a bright colored envelope when you send it?
I have been with the love of my life for eight years. He is 75 and I am 55. He has had five stents placed in his heart, three since we have been together. He had a massive heart attack on May 31, 2008. He has been told he needs to have open heart surgery to correct an artery in his heart. He promoised me twenty years after we got together in 2000. I want the twenty years and I know if he does not lose the weiight he needs to we will not have that. I have tried for eight years to help him lose but it has not helped. I do not want to lose him. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. So do you help couples where one needs to lose and the other doesn’t? And if you do, is there a way where they can be together and the one who doesn’t have to lose can tone up? Thank you for anything you can do. Charlene Hapeman-Stage
As i was reading your comment, I thought of my papaw. He died in 2009 because of a massive heart attack. I say if he already had a heart attack, he doesnt need to be on the show because of the excercise they do would just put stress on his heart . He needs to do cardio, and since of the heart attack, he will probaly need a professonial trainer to help him bc he doesnt need to over do it. It might help if he takes brief walks after a meal, if he is able..not a long, tiring walk. But a small walk. I hope i helped!
Just be very cautious about the amount of pounds you lose per week as anything above 1and a half pounds is considered dangerous because you also loose a considerable amount of muscle with fat and water .I lost 90 pounds within a year when i was eighteen i can fill you in with any details if you need.
me and my wife cherill would like to be on the show biggest loser we tryed to loose befor but never could l’m 361 pounds and i wood like to be 175lbs one day going on the show wood help both of us a lot becouse we wood like to start a family some day but i’m not in the best shap me and my wife need your help.
