Dec 15, (THAINDIAN NEWS) “The Biggest Loser” season 10 has just come to end with the victory of Patrick House. However, all those who would be missing the show, need not worry, as the show will be back with season 11, on January 4, 2011. Although not much have been revealed about the unique format of the season, the production team has already decided the twenty-two contestants, who would be clashing against each other for the whopping $250,000 prize money. One such contestant would be Rulon Gardner, an amateur wrestler and Olympic gold medalist.

It has been decided that Rulon Gardner would be the part of the yellow team along with his partner Justin Pope. Both he and his partner is from Logan, Utah. Where the season 10 was named “The Biggest Loser:Pay It Forward”, the 11th season has been entitled as “The Biggest Loser: Couples 4″, as most of the tasks will be executed in couples. Along with the two existing trainers, Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels, two more trainers will also be added in the new season, whose identity has not been revealed yet. Many people are speculating that in the upcoming season, Rulon Gardner has a big possibility of bagging the final prize money. This is because, he is physically stronger and more active than the others, despite his weight.

Rulon Gardner basically hails from sports background. He has been an Olympic athlete, an active footballer, holding a degree in physical education. Needless to say that he is more physically capable than the other contestants in the show, who are most likely to be from the non sports background. The 39 year old Rulon Gardner weighs about 474 lbs. Nevertheless, he is fit enough to carry out the rigorous workout schedule and offer a tough competition to the others.
