Biggest Loser's Alison Sweeney: Who Will America Fall in Love With?

The <http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/biggest-loser/191408>  Biggest Loser has
had its share of inspirational success stories, but this cycle aims for a
whole new level of drama. This season is all about "second chances": Abbey,
who lost her husband and children in a tragedy, and Daniel, the former
heaviest contestant in Biggest Loser history, returning to finish the journey
he began, are among this season's contestants. Alison Sweeney
<http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/alison-sweeney/194718> , soap star and
host of the reality weight-loss series, shared her thoughts about Season 8
with TVGuide.com and explained why health and fitness have become so important
in her own life.

TVGuide.com: This season's theme is "second chances." What sets it apart from
the past seven seasons?
Alison Sweeney: Each season is a different experience [because] it's all based
on the contestants. We're saying "second chances" because it's just that
C"b,b the Biggest Loser campus is a second chance at life and health for
them.  And [former contestant] Daniel is back. He's getting a second chance to
finish what he started last season.

TVGuide.com: What was it like having a repeat contender on?
Sweeney: It was certainly different... [Daniel] already knows the drill, what
life is like on the ranch. He found himself answering a lot of questions from
the other contestants.  But I don't think it gave him as big advantage as it
seemed.

TVGuide.com: Last season there were some definite fan favorites. Does anyone
stand out to you this season?
Sweeney: It's hard to tell who America will fall in love with.  Abbey is sure
to win people's hearts right from Day 1.  I think Danny [and] Rebecca have
personalities that will leap out to the audience too... but who knows?

TVGuide.com: Abbey's story is incredibly emotional. How has she inspired you?
Sweeney: Getting to know Abbey has been an amazing experience.  She is truly
such a strong person, and listening to her share her story, to see her open
herself up to us, made us fall in love with her!  She's so willing to be open,
to be cheerful [and] to be positive, in the face of all she's been through in
her life. It's impossible not to be inspired by that.

TVGuide.com: Why do you think Biggest Loser, in its eighth season, continues
to be so successful?
Sweeney: People love knowing that Tuesday nights our show will motivate them,
as well as entertain. I think audiences continue to love seeing people
overcome obstacles, seeing them succeed encourages everyone to believe
anything is possible.  It's a good show C"b,b what's not to love?!

TVGuide.com: You've taken a pretty active role in the health and fitness
community outside of Biggest Loser. What makes you so passionate about it?
Sweeney: Because I struggled with my own weight as a teenager, obesity issues
strike a chord with me.  And since joining The Biggest Loser, I've seen so
many success stories. Jerry from Season 6 is a perfect example. At the finale,
Dr. H. told him he won 25 years of his life back!  It is possible to regain
control of your weight, and it's so scary to see how many people in this
country are playing Russian roulette with their health C"b,b especially
kids.  Now with two children of my own, it's impossible for me not to be
passionate about encouraging people to get healthy, and to help their children
be healthy.

TVGuide.com: I've followed your tweets. Will you be tweeting about the
episodes as they air?
Sweeney: Absolutely! I love watching Biggest Loser with people, and hearing
their responses as they unfold. I tweet about Days sometimes, so I've gotten
the hang of it. I even have tons of behind-the-scenes photos I took as we were
shooting the season. I will be posting photo stories of each episode, follow
<http://www.twitter.com/ali_sweeney>  me to get the link!

Season 8 of The Biggest Loser premieres on Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 8/7c on NBC.
