Who will be Automatically Booted Out of The Biggest Loser Camp? Top 5 Reveal Soon!

The competition in “The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Doubles” has just become stiffer and more daunting than ever for its six remaining contestant pairs after all of them were sent home to continue their weight loss journey.

Outside the camp, married couple Carl and Kayen, siblings Bryan and Ikya, showbiz royalties Pat and Cathy, bagong bigateam Osie and Francis, friends Jepoy at Tristan, and brothers Ralph and Christian are compelled to live in their homes with their family.

But this won’t be easy as they will be tested to keep their determination to watch their weight and resist their food cravings.

When they head back to the camp, the six doubles will face another competitive weigh-in where the pair that falls below the red line or records the lowest percentage of weight loss becomes automatically booted out of the camp.

Which ‘bigating double’ will be permanently expelled from the competition? Which pairs deserve to belong in the Top 5?

With the battle to the finish line becoming more intense, Ralph was driven to confess his real feelings to Pat and even expressed his intention to court her. How will their special friendship work out as they train together outside the camp?

Watch “The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Doubles” from Mondays to Fridays after “Aquino & Abunda Tonight” on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida, and on Saturdays after “Maalaala Mo Kaya.”

Coaches Jim and Toni Saret Clash in The Biggest Loser Doubles

The contestants of “The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Doubles” are not the only ones caught in an intense competition, as fitness coaches and real-life married couple Jim and Toni Saret are also up against each other to lead their respective teams to win in the show’s third competitive weigh-in on Saturday (March 3)

In a new twist, the contestants were divided into two teams led by the two coaches, who must push them to train and shed the extra pounds. The team that records the higher weight loss percentage in the weigh-in will be saved from elimination.

Coach Toni chose officemates Mai and Bien, showbiz royalties Pat and Cathy, friends Tristan and Jepoy, and the ‘bagong bigateam’ Osie and Francis to be part of her team, while coach Jim has to train cousins Lovely and Carol, brothers Ralph and Christian, siblings Ikya and Brian, and married couple Carl and Kayen.

In the end, the two pairs with the lowest weight loss percentage from losing team will be put on the chopping block.

“Now I will be able to show my own style. I know everything he (Coach Jim) knows and more,” said coach Toni about her husband.

“I am afraid of her because she knows all of my secret weapons,” coach Jim quipped.

The two teams already faced off in two team challenges, where Team Jim emerged as the winner. Will Team Toni be able to pull through in the next challenges or will Team Jim continue its winning streak?

Only eight pairs remain in the competition after couple Biggie and Valerie got voted off from the program last night. They also recorded the lowest weight loss percentage in the second competitive weigh-in with only 10 pounds or 2.56% of their previous weight.

Obsina Sisters of 'Biggest Loser Doubles' Now Sexy Nurses (Photos)

Nurse sisters Dianne and Tin Obsina lost the chance to become the second Pinoy Biggest Loser after getting eliminated from “The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Doubles,” following its first competitive weigh-in this week.

Dianne and Tin were voted out by their co-contestants against officemates Mai and Bien, who also fell below the yellow line during the weigh-in. Dianne and Tin lost a total of 17 pounds or 3.76% of their combined weight after two weeks of rigorous exercises and challenges.

Married couple Carl and Kayen, meanwhile, were named the Biggest Losers of the week for losing the highest percentage of weight, 8.41% or 43 pounds.

While Dianne and Tin had reservations about going home for fear of disappointing their mother, they were happy to take with them lessons they learned during their stay in the camp.

“We learned to stop getting carried away by anxiety. There were many things here in the camp that intimidated us, and we thought we wouldn’t overcome them. But we did,” said Dianne.

Tin also promised the remaining contestant pairs that she and her sister would continue to shed the pounds after exiting the camp.  “Thank you for trusting us that we can do it outside. Good luck on the rest of your journey. We promise you that we’ll be sexy when we see each other again,” Tin vowed.

The show’s bigating doubles are off to face another unique challenge, which will require them to play teacher and student. The teacher will be the one to train his or her partner (student) to lose weight. In the second competitive weigh-in, only the weight of the student will be determined.

How will this affect the pairs’ drive to lose weight? Who will play the roles as student and teacher?

Iza Calzado to Replace Busy Anne Curtis in It's Showtime?

Actress Iza Calzado will be joining ABS-CBN noontime show It's Showtime. According to the actress, she will be a guest co-host on the show starting February 1 although she still yet to confirm whether she will be regular on the show.

"Wala pang official confirmation, but I’ll be guest host there this Saturday," Iza told reporters at the press conference for The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Doubles which will premiere this February 3 on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida.

With Anne starting to get busy with the taping of Dyesebel, many are now asking whether Iza will serve as Anne's replacement in the show for the meantime. Anne's new fantaserye will be taping in Palawan and it will be a hassle for her to fly back and forth for the noontime show which airs daily.

"Hindi na po ako makakasama sa Sana Bukas Pa ang Kahapon as I’ll focus muna on Biggest Loser then I'l still have [the movie I did with Piolo Pascual and Toni Gonzaga] Starting Over Again that opens on February 12." Iza said.

"Meron naman po akong ibang gagawin pero, hindi ko muna po sasabihin kung ano 'yun, dito muna tayo sa The Biggest Loser," she added.

According to reports, Iza was replaced in Bea Alonzo's upcoming teleserye because her contract states that she will have to be the lead star of the teleseryes she will be doing. Iza, though, didn't mind playing support to Bea when she was asked about the project.

Do you like Iza to be a regular host in It's Showtime? Well, the girl has already some background in hosting a noontime show, being part of Eat Bulaga back when she was still in GMA-7.

Fourteen pairs of overweight Filipinos embark on a journey that will change their lives beginning Monday (Feb. 3) with the much-anticipated premiere of the country’s biggest reality show, “The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Doubles.”

The reality show’s second Philippine edition is hosted by acclaimed actress Iza Calzado. She will be joined by challenge masters Matteo Guidicelli and Robi Domingo, along with fitness coaches Jim and Toni Saret who will train and help the contestants reclaim their health.

After scouring the country for pairs with heartwarming stories, “Biggest Loser Doubles” will introduce in its premiere the 14 pairs of contestants Filipinos can draw inspiration from. They are:

Ralph and Christian (brothers) Tin and Dianne (sisters) Carl and Kayen (married couple) Bryan and Ikya (siblings) Bien and Mai (officemates) Tristan and Jepoy (bestfriends) Lovely and Carol (cousins)

In the first week of “Biggest Loser Doubles,” the 14 pairs will go through pre-camp, the first part of the competition where they will be asked to lose weight on their own, using only the things that are readily available in their homes and environment, for 30 days.

The 14 pairs will then meet and weigh themselves on the “Timbangan ng Bayan,” which will determine which of the pairs lost the highest percentage of their total weight and enter the “Biggest Loser Doubles” camp.

Inside the camp, each pair is expected to do everything it takes to stay in the competition and encourage each other to lose weight — a twist that will also test their relationship as relatives, work colleagues, or friends and will show that in having a partner, the journey to a better life will be lighter.

Watch them change not only their bodies, but also their lives as they compete with each other in a bid to win P1 million, appliance showcase, P100,000 worth of sports merchandise from Toby’s, lifetime gym membership at Gold’s Gym, a kitchen showcase, among others.

Iza Calzado Regarded as Credible Host of The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Doubles

Award-winning actress Iza Calzado is pulling out all the stops to prepare for one of her most challenging projects to date — hosting the newest season of the country’s biggest reality show “The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition,” which premieres February 3 on ABS-CBN.

“It’s my first time hosting a major TV show. I’m happy because I learned a lot from it. As much as I can, I will make sure that I will do it right and I will give my very best for this project,” Iza said.

To prepare, Iza underwent a workshop to enhance her hosting skills.

“Of course, I need to work hard as a host so I can help the whole team showcase the contestants’ struggles, as well as their experiences and weight-loss journey inside the camp,” said Iza.

Aside from hosting, Iza will also impart her weight-loss success story and experiences. Iza has been open about her struggle with her weight when she was a teenager. She went through daunting challenges in her life, but bravely faced all of them and persevered to lose the extra pounds. This is why many regard Iza as credible to host “The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Doubles.”

The reality show’s much-awaited premiere on February 3, meanwhile, will feature the transformation of 14 pairs of overweight Filipinos who will face difficult challenges and compete in their journey to a better health and better life.

Like in the previous edition, the contestants will live in a camp where they will undergo rigorous training conducted by challenge masters Matteo Guidicelli and Robi Domingo, along with coaches Jim and Toni Saret.

Each pair is expected to do everything it takes to stay in the competition and encourage each other to lose weight —a twist that will also test their relationship as relatives, work colleagues, or friends and will show that in having a partner, the journey to a better life will be lighter.
