Mitchell Haaseth/ NBC |
Tuesday night, the new "Biggest Loser" will be revealed when this season's competitors weigh-in. But today, ET reveals the new heavyweights who will be heading out to the ranch to work with Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper in hopes of changing their lives forever!
The new contestants include Rulon Gardner, an Olympic gold medalist, Don and Dan Evans, identical twin policemen who started gaining weight when they joined the police force, Ken Andrews, a pastor who wants to spare his overweight son from the challenges he faced because of obesity, and Sarah Nitta, a woman who has lost pregnancies because of her weight and wants more than anything to be a mother.
Viewers will also meet Arthur Wornum, this season's heaviest contestant at 507 pounds, who tells ET, "I've got two beautiful kids. They're six and three, and I said to myself, 'That's it.' I stopped what I was doing and I thanked God."
Also on this season is Courtney Crozier, a student whose family owns a Dairy Queen and, who was already inspired by "The Biggest Loser" to lose 112 pounds on her own, but wants to finish her weight loss journey on the show. She says, "Even after losing 100 pounds, I'm still the biggest girl. I have a long way to go. I know I'll get there."
"The Biggest Loser" launches season 11 on Tuesday, January 4 on NBC.
