Filming for the next season (?) of the show is already under way in the rural Victorian town of Ararat, according to The Ararat Advertiser.

The Biggest Loser crew, including the three trainers, will be going to Ararat to bring the healthy living knowledge hammer down upon the community, with plans to set up support groups and weekend workshops for people to attend if they want to get involved. There’s no casting call as such for those events, if you live in the area and are interested you can just rock up and take part.

There’ll also be a core group of locals, probably around 20, taken up to Camp Biggest Loser in Sydney to do the “intensive course” contestants on the show are used to. It’s unclear whether there’ll be eliminations involved in this, could make town life a little awkward if so?

The plans for this series seem to be aimed at some of the criticisms of the show, where people complain there is little support for contestants upon their return home. People like personal trainer Andrew Meade. I’m sorry, “former personal trainer on The Biggest Loser” Andrew Meade.

I’m not sure being the PT production hired for one of the eliminated contestants back in the second season really qualifies you as being on the show, but whatever.

With filming of The Biggest Loser: Ararat having begun in April and a 12 week timeline for their stay in the country town, we might just see The Biggest Loser again this year, potentially right after Masterchef finishes it’s second outing of the year.

Colour me excited!
