Biggest Loser 2011 premiere: Who are the Biggest Loser Season 11 new trainers?
The 11th season of "The Biggest Loser" premiered Tuesday on NBC. This season includes two new trainers, in addition to Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels.
Who are the new trainers? After Tuesday's show, we still don't know their identities. Boo to that. Fortunately, some spoilers are circulating online. Click here for a dominant guess.
In a twist to the show's usual formula, contestants choose to either train at the Biggest Loser campus with Bob and Jillian or go to a mystery location with the two mystery trainers. If the contestants choose the mystery trainers, they'll have four weeks of immunity. If they choose to stay at the ranch, they could go home after just one week.
These contestants are working with the mystery trainers: Rulon and Justin, Moses and Kaylee, Austin and Ken, Jaquin and Larialmy, Denise and Sarah.
These contestants are working with Bob and Jillian: Dan and Don, Olivia and Hannah, Ana and Irene, Courtney and Marci, Jennifer and Jay, Jesse and Arthur.
Ana was the season's first eliminated contestant.
Michaels recently announced she'll leave "The Biggest Loser" after season 11. During the season 10 finale, we learned the new female trainer is a boxer and the new male trainer is a martial arts expert.
