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.

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.”

14 Pairs of Bigatin Contestants of The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Doubles, Introduced

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)

Chrisfer and Chesfer (twins) Pat and Cathy (from two showbiz clans) Cherry and Randall (UST Gawi ex-members) Benzi and Ysai (pageant rivals) Francis and Andrew (stranger pair) Osie and Nina (mother-daughter tandem) Biggie and Valerie (boyfriend-girlfriend)

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.”

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.
