After a four-year hiatus, The Biggest Loser is back. Now airing on the USA Network, fans of the show have a whole new cast to cheer for. This season, 12 new contestants will tackle fitness challenges, learn about nutrition, and participate in group discussions to develop healthier habits and lose weight. In the end, the person who loses the most weight will be named "The Biggest Loser."
Along the way, one person will be eliminated each week. Until we see who is this season's ultimate winner, here's a running list of the eliminated cast of this season's The Biggest Loser. Spoilers ahead!
And remember: contestants on The Biggest Loser may drop weight fast, but experts recommend slow weight loss. The amount of weight a person can safely lose in a week is dependent on a variety of factors including total weight, activity level, and muscle mass, but it's generally advised to lose a half-pound to one-pound per week.
Despite losing four pounds, Katarina went home in week five. She was very upset and later explained to Cheatsheet, "When youre on that [Biggest Loser] scale, and you see four pounds, and you look disappointed, youre not disappointed that you lost four pounds. Youre disappointed that this four pounds might not keep you there. . . especially when you have men that can lose eight, ten pounds at a time.
In week four, Delores went home after losing just one pound. She was visibly upset and said, "I'm following the plan. I then hear someone tell me to give more. I give more, and that's still not enough." Her coach, Steve Cook, praised the effort Delores put in and said, "Losing weight isn't always this perfect science." The number on the scale can fluctuate or stall for a variety of factors including bloating and whether you've had a bowel movement.
Dom began his journey weighing 323 pounds and left the show weighing 298 pounds. He lost four pounds in week three, but that wasn't enough to keep Dom on the show. However, he feels much better since losing the 25 pounds on the show. "I can actually go to the park now, take my daughter, and run around with her," he said.
Phi weighed 345 pounds during week two, down from 351 the previous week. All total she lost 12 pounds before departing the show. Although her time was cut short, Phi says she will maintain her healthy habits at hone. "I'm just ready to show my team and everyone that the journey didn't stop here. This is only the beginning," she said.
Robert lost 13 pounds in week one. However, this figure was 3.18 percent of his body weight, which was the lowest percent of any other competitor, according to US. In an interview with PopCulture in February 2020, Robert revealed he lost another 48 pounds once he left the show.
