Season chronology

The Biggest Loser: Glory Days is the sixteenth season of The Biggest Loser which premiered on September 11, 2014, on NBC. Bob Harper and Dolvett Quince returned as trainers, while Jillian Michaels decided to leave the show. There are two new trainers this season: Jessie Pavelka and Jennifer Widerstrom. This season, the contestants are all former athletes including former National Football League players and Olympic Gold medalists. The contestants competed to win a $250,000 prize which was awarded to Toma Dobrosavljevic, the contestant with the highest percentage of weight loss.

This season was also the last to be hosted by Alison Sweeney, who left to focus on other projects. [1]
