Season 1 (2011)

The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition: Doubles was a Philippine reality television currently airing on ABS-CBN. The show was the second season of The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition which was based on the Biggest Loser franchise of the United States. It is hosted by Iza Calzado, replacing season one host Sharon Cuneta. [1] Joining Calzado are Matteo Guidicelli and Robi Domingo who replaced the season one gamemaster Derek Ramsay, and are taking the helm of the show's challenge masters. [1] [2] Domingo also served as the show's social media correspondent. [3] [4] Jim Saret returned as one of the professional trainers. However, Chinggay Andrada did not return for this season and was replaced by Toni Saret, the wife of Jim Saret. [5]

Contents

The second season was initially set for a March 2013 premiere, [6] but was later moved to January 2014. [7] The show started airing on February 3, 2014 and airs Mondays to Saturdays. [8] Also, a primer showcasing the stories of selected contestants was aired on February 1, 2014. [9] [10]

It ended on April 26, 2014, [11] with Bryan Castillo declared as the winner.

Development

It was announced during the finale of the first season that ABS-CBN will produce a second season, this time in a Doubles format. [12] On November 22, 2011, Sharon Cuneta signed an exclusive contract deal to ABS-CBN's rival network, TV5. Signing the contract deal with TV5 meant that she will be leaving The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition too. [13] [14] Derek Ramsay coincidentally followed suit to Cuneta, who also signed an exclusive contract deal with TV5. [15] [16]

In January 2012, Iza Calzado left GMA Network, and signed a 3 year-exclusive contract with ABS-CBN. Part of her contract was hosting the second season of the franchise replacing Cuneta. [17] [18] [19] In March 2013, Matteo Guidicelli was announced to replace Derek Ramsay. Robi Domingo also joined the cast as one of the gamemasters. [3]

Notes
  • In Week 3, contestants' weigh-in results that are bold indicates results not counted for the elimination. Those in italicized indicates that their results served as the basis for each of the couple's fate in landing in the bottom two.
  • In Week 4, contestants' weigh in results that are blue italics are from Team Jim. Those in pink italics are from Team Toni. The goal for that week is to lose weight per team, which Team Toni had won against Team Jim. Team Toni was immune in that elimination night.
  • In Week 7, at the end of the weigh-in, it was announced that it was a non-elimination week. However, the Biggest Loser Pairs of the Week were still declared. The weigh-in results from Week 7 were disregarded.
  • In Week 8, teams were tasked to go back in their families to challenge their discipline. Due to the challenge, the weight measured in Week 7 will be added for the weigh-in results upon their return to camp at the end of Week 9.
  • Starting in Week 10, a pair who will fall below the yellow line will have to decide between themselves in who will face the elimination.
