Video game

The Biggest Loser Video Game (on the list of Wii games page)redirects here. There does not appear to be any reason for it to do so as there is no information on the video game here. WesUGAdawg (talk) 20:47, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like you should create a page for the game? Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 03:37, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly Wikipedia is my only internet resource so I have to count on the contributions of other kind Wikipedians. If anyone does know anything about this game it would be great if someone would create a page for it, even just a stub would be nice. WesUGAdawg (talk) 20:37, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

the biggest loser is a training program televised. trainers bob and jillian help 24 desperate contestants loser the highest percentage of weight lose in just 3 months. some contestants will fall below the yellow line each week and will be up for elimination. only one contestant will make the elimination. each week, the contestants spend 4 days in the workout room with the trainers and 1 day, they are up for a physical challenge, usually with a prize. hosted by Allison Sweeny, the biggest loser is meant to help those who are considered obese and to become the biggest loser —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.56.143.147 (talk) 20:01, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

regarding the norwegian version

the current season is actually season 2. the first season was called slankekrigen but, was exactly the same concept and a norwegian adaptation of the biggest loser. it might have aired on the same vhannel but i am not sure. here is one source but it is in norwegian: http://www.trinegrung.no/2009/08/02/slankekrigen/84.213.45.196 (talk) 20:08, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
