The Biggest Loser: Glory Days is the sixteenth season of The Biggest Loser which premiered on September 11, 2014 on NBC. Bob Harper and Dolvett Quince returned as trainers, while Jillian Michaels decided to leave the show. There are two new trainers this season: Jessie Pavelka and Jennifer Widerstrom. This season, the contestants are all former athletes including former National Football League players and Olympic Gold medalists. The contestants competed to win a $250,000 prize which was awarded to Toma Dobrosavljevic, the contestant with the highest percentage of weight loss.
This season was also the last for host Alison Sweeney to focus on other projects.
Dolvett and the two new trainers are with the main contestants at the Biggest Loser Ranch. A new twist this season is that eliminated contestants leave the ranch and meet Bob Harper at "Comeback Canyon", a secret training ground. Every week he trains two people there, with the one with the lowest percentage of weight loss leaving the show for good. There are no challenges to win immunity or bonus pounds; it is just about true weight loss. The winning contestant is then joined by the next eliminated contestant from the main ranch for the next week. The person winning the last Comeback Canyon weigh-in will be sent back to the Ranch for the semi-finals and will still have the chance to become the next Biggest Loser.
Jackie in week nine was the first person to win a second weigh-in at Comeback Canyon. Damien in week eleven was the second person to win a second weigh-in at Comeback Canyon. Scott in week thirteen was the third person to win a second weigh-in at Comeback Canyon and in week fourteen was the first person to win a third weigh-in at Comeback Canyon. Woody in week 15 won the final Comeback Canyon weigh-in and returned to the ranch.
