After on-going doubts about whether it would return in 2013, finally we have confirmation that The Biggest Loser is back on TEN.
Applications are now open for Season 8, another series to feature “Biggest Loser: Families.”
“Whatever your age, size and story, if you are part of a family of two or more, whether a mother, father, daughter or son and you want to take on a life-changing challenge, then The Biggest Loser wants you,” says the official website.
TV Tonight can also confirm Camp Biggest Loser will be moving from its base at the Former Artillery School in North Head, Sydney.
You can apply here. Closing date for applications is 5pm on Friday 21st September.

I didn’t enjoy the families format. Too much bickering.
Hope they rent the white house again, that place was amazing.
@unclepete no worries
I don’t care what the concept is, I’m just glad The Biggest Loser is coming back next year.
I wonder where their new home is?
Families was the worst they enable each other, the challenges were boring and it’s to hard to connect looks like another bomb for 10 after the shire the dance thing to name a few
@dan – no, I was thinking of the Aussie version. I am happy to be wrong though, but I do know that the comments in social media weren’t as favourable for families and I also know that personally I found it boring and I nearly didn’t come back the next year until they changed their minds and made it not about families (which was another indicator to me that it did not do as well as they thought).
But anyhoo, all good now. As I said earlier, I probably will not watch because of the family scenario, but if everyone else enjoys it then good on Ten for showing it 🙂
I think singles is much better, more of a competition than family version. This yr didnt do so well because of strong comp, Ten need to be smart about when they put this on, do they go head to head with mkr or do they hold off till after
@Unclepete you maybe thinking about the USA version I think they tried the families version and it tanked so for the next version they went back to couples
The last families season was the first one I watched and realised how good a show it was. Been hooked since. I tried the Yankie version but it was nauseating – ours was much better.
@Unclepete
I do believe Families 2011 was one of their most successful seasons in recent years. The casting that year was fantastic, which probably helped. That year the trainers went to stay with the families in their homes which was great for so many reason, including character development.
Actually it was the couples version of the show that didn’t rate well. The Families version actually saw a huge lift in the ratings two years ago and it was surprising that they didn’t keep it going for atleast two years. With the extra added trainer ‘Tiffany’ the show saw a few more viewers join in than in previous seasons.
@ Uncle Pete, Families was actually one of the best rating seasons of Biggest Loser.
I was hoping they were going to do an All Stars season.
I saw this yesterday and my first thought…
“Families… again!!!”
WTF
David, you have been following the ratings more closely than I over the past 7 years, but wasn’t families one of the worst rating seasons? Also, didn’t it cop more of a hammering from critics and social media than other seasons?) – that was the impression I got.
