00:00All my life, I want to be the Biggest Loser. Work me, work me till the day I die.

00:08Being on the Biggest Loser is just like winning the lottery.

00:11Whoever loses the most weight wins $250,000.

00:16More than 10 million people watched the finale. It was huge.

00:20To see us in a gym yelling, screaming, that's good TV.

01:24I would never put anyone in harm's way.
