While everywhere else, to be called a loser is considered a slur, but on American television it’s altogether another story. If you are the biggest loser here, you don’t only get a celebrity status and a svelte body, you also get to win $250,000 as well. The only precondition is that you have to be at least 18 and …well…Big.

One of the hottest shows on television, The Biggest Loser is already auditioning for the season 9. Its eighth season has not yet come up for airing and is scheduled to debut some time in fall. Following the pattern of previous seasons, this season will also feature pairs of related people.

The casting notice press release says “Family teams of two - including parent/child, siblings, husbands-and-wives, couples, cousins and in-laws - are encouraged to apply for the new season.” But that’s not enough, as they want “outgoing and charismatic family teams of two, especially those who have the personality, desire and competitive edge to vie for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lose weight, change their lives forever and compete for a grand prize of $250,000.”

The trend to cast pairs who either know each other well or are related to each other started from the fifth season of The Biggest Loser. That explains all the crying we see on the show when a contestant gets eliminated. But I guess this is the only show where everyone wins by losing and there is not even a single loser. Winning the cash prize can be just one of the motivations. Ultimately, having a healthy and beautiful body is everybody’s dream.
