The Biggest Loser: Families is the sixth season of the NBC reality television series The Biggest Loser. The sixth season premiered on September 16, 2008,[1] featuring Alison Sweeney as the host and Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels as the contestants' trainers.
The cast was revealed on August 29, 2008. Eight duos began the challenge, for a total of 16 contestants.[2]
From Week 1 to Week 5, the Green, Red, Orange, and Brown Teams (husband and wives) trained with Bob, while the Purple, Gray, Yellow, and Pink Teams (parents and children) trained with Jillian. In Week 5, these "Family Teams" were disbanded and the contestants were split into the Blue Team and the Black Team. In week 8, the teams were split again and the competition went into individuals. Amy Cremen was originally under Jillian's training, but in week 5, was placed in and eliminated under Bob's training. Phillip Parham started the competition under Bob's training but was eliminated under Jillian's training.
