Each will have one of the three trainers to work with, those three which includes the return of Jillian Michaels. Alison then calls out the names of the fifteen people who will be this season's contestants and who have no idea they have been chosen until their name is called. Each contestant gives a little background of him/herself. Once at the ranch the next day, five adult contestants apiece are assigned to one of the three trainers, Bob, Dolvett and Jillian, but realistically any contestant can call upon any one of the trainers for any advice or assistance. The fifteen plus the three youth are thrown into the fire with their first workout. Jillian in particular has issue with three of her team members, and tries to find out why they have what she considers a defeatist attitude. The first team challenge of the season, which includes the three youth, is to find letters in a ball pit to spell out the phrase "The Biggest Loser", with the winning team getting a five pound advantage at the weigh-in. The three youth leave the ranch for home before the last chance workout, which takes its emotional toll. At the first elimination weigh-in, the contestants learn that there will be no yellow line, but only a red line, meaning that the person with the lowest percentage of weight loss on the losing team will automatically be the first eliminated contestant. However, something that happened at the last chance workout may increase that number by one. Written by Huggo See less
