Biggest Loser Shakes it up for Season 16"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"jessie<\/a>The season premiere of The Biggest Loser<\/em> is still 71 long days away but NBC is already announcing big changes for the 16th year. This year, Jillian fans will mourn her departure as two new J-name trainers take center stage.<\/p>\n

Why, Jillian? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

On June 25, NBC announced the news of Jillian’s departure saying, “The Biggest Loser<\/em>\u00a0and Jillian Michaels<\/a><\/strong> have decided to part ways and she will not be returning for season 16 when it airs in the fall.”<\/p>\n

This will be Jillian’s third exit from the popular weight loss program.<\/p>\n

New Coaches? Hold me. I don’t even know.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Jillian’s absence, NBC will have big shoes to fill, and evidently it takes two new coaches to do it. With the addition of Jessie Pavelka and Jennifer Widestrom, the coach tally climbs to four. Dolvett Quince, Bob Harper, and host Alison Sweeney<\/a> have all signed on for season 16.<\/p>\n

This will be just the second time in BL history that four coaches have been available to help contestants.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to welcome Jessie and Jen into \u2018The Biggest Loser\u2019 family, and know they will be valuable players on this life-changing show that continues to inspire millions of people to embrace a healthy lifestyle,\u201d said Paul Telegdy, NBC Entertainment\u2019s president of Alternative and Late Night Programming.<\/p>\n
