The Biggest Loser 9 will start casting later this month, well before the
eighth season debuts this fall, and the show will once again seek pairs of
related people as its contestants.

The show has featured pairs of people who know each other, like The Amazing
Race, since its fifth season, with families featured in season
six<http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/the_biggest_loser_6/2008
_Sep_16_debut>.
Season eight, however, cast for both couples and singles, so we may get a
reprieve from that format, which offers a lot of built-in reasons for the
cast members to cry when their partner goes home.

The casting notice press
release<http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20090615nbc01>says
Family teams of two  including parent/child, siblings,
husbands-and-wives, couples, cousins and in-laws  are encouraged to apply
for the new season. But thats not enough, as they want outgoing and
charismatic family teams of two, especially those who have the personality,
desire and competitive edge to vie for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to lose weight, change their lives forever and compete for a grand prize of
$250,000.

Open calls start June 27 in Chicago and will be held in a total of 15 cities
through August. You have to be 18 and, well, overweight.
