Are You Mobile's "Biggest Loser"?

Reality TV has become a permanent part of our society, and for the most part, we could and should do without it. But there are a few shows that connect with us in a more fundamental way. NBC's "The Biggest Loser" is one of those programs. It shows us that we can change our lives and our bodies in a positive way with a little (okay, a lot of) effort. Have you ever wanted to be a part of it? Well, here's your chance.

NBC’s popular reality series “The Biggest Loser” has launched a 15-city cross-country search, including the Port City, to find new contestants for the next edition of the hit show. Family teams of two – including parent/child, siblings, husbands-and-wives, couples, cousins and in-laws – are encouraged to apply for the new season, which will air in early 2010. Season eight of “The Biggest Loser” will premiere in September 2009.

Casting producers are looking for 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. Individuals who don’t have a partner can audition on their own. Candidates must be at least 18 years of age and legal residents of the United States.

Candidates should bring a non-returnable photo of them and their partner.
