Season 8 was incredible. If you’ve missed the major highlights, I have loads of videos at the end of this post to share with you.

Season 9 is only a few weeks away (premiers on Tuesday, January 5th, 2010 at 8 pm EST) and I cannot wait!!!

It’s already exciting to know that Shay (the biggest contestant from Season 8 will return, but I cannot wait to see how much improvement Michael Ventrella who weighs over 500 lbs and is officially the heaviest contestant since the beginning of the show is able to get in his life from losing the weight.

I’ve seen the preview and it’s scary that someone who stop caring that much about themselves and would allow their body to reach these proportions.

>>> The Biggest Loser Season 9 is all about losing the wait as couples!

This is not the first time The Biggest Loser pairs family members together to help them fight off obesity, but this season will promise to be interesting because Michael Ventrella tips the scale at over 500 lbs!

>>> The Biggest Loser Season 9 list of 22 contestants:

IMPORTANT NOTE: I’ve noticed from The Biggest Loser Season 8 that readers really liked the recipes and tips from Jillian and Bob on eating out at restaurants and other useful tips. As a results, I will focus on those aspects of the show as opposed to the summaries I had started doing.

If there is anything you’d like to get from the show, let me know because I have a direct contact and I’m able to get a few insider’s info that is sometimes a bit complicated/tricky to find on the NBC web site.
