Biggest Loser’s Jillian Michaels Lands Her Own Show-2009

No more Blue vs. Black teams, no more Ranch and no more tears. Well, maybe a lot of tears! But healthy ones as Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels gets her own show on NBC next year, the network announced Tuesday.
Losing It With Jillian, an eight-episode series slated for 2010, features the famed take-no-prisoners trainer traveling the country, living with families for a whole week and thoroughly examining the choices they’ve made that have caused them to be unhealthy and unhappy.
“When your health is out of balance everything else suffers . finances, relationships, work and family dynamics,” Michaels says. “I’m moving in with families across the country, getting down and dirty and rooting out bad habits in every corner of their lives that are preventing them from health and happiness.”

Joining Michaels will be celebrity chef Curtis Stone, who will offer tips on cooking with healthy ingredients and teach families about nutrition.
“I love the idea of Jillian crisscrossing America to actually move in with unhealthy families in desperate need of her tough love wake-up call,” says executive producer Ellen Rakieten. “It’s the knock on your door that could save your life.”
Excited about helping families, Michaels tells PEOPLE.com readers to “go to casting and get my bed ready, America, ’cause I’m heading out and you never know, I might just end up on your doorstep, so watch out” . Cynthia Wang

The Biggest Loser

We dare you not to cry during the season-eight premiere of The Biggest Loser. In fact, make that a double-dog-dare.

Goosebumps ran up and down our arms as we watched Tracey Yukich, 37, try to crawl to the finish line of the one-mile mark only to be taken away by medics. Our eyes welled up as Abby Rike, 35, told the tragic tale of losing her husband and two small children in a car crash.

If anyone dismissed The Biggest Loser as just another weight-loss show, think again. Now is the time to get into what is arguably one of the most emotional rollercoasters on reality TV today.
