Thirty Contestants for Season 3!

As pointed out by Tronno in the comments section for the newest Loser ad, there are in fact a whopping thirty contestants on screen in the latest ad. There’s a picture after the break in this post so you can even go and count for yourself!

This virtually guarantees there will be three teams, one each for Shannan, Michelle and Commando Steve to train. This also makes it very likely that there’ll be a “Jillian on a motorcycle” moment, though it will more likely be “Steve in a Hummer” instead. Ten for each is quite a few but it’s a darn sight better than fiften a piece for Shannan and Michelle.

Thirty is a lot of contestants. A lot. I think it may even be bordering on just too many. How are we going to keep track of them all, even with all the extra hours per week the Australian version of the show runs?

Ought to be interesting. For the picture, read on…

      How about this for speculation as to the team arrangements: 2 teams of 7 – blue and red, but everywhere is stating 15 contestants. There’s one contestant each week that doesn’t have a team or trainer and switches between teams. The remaining 15, 8 might need to leave, but not before competing to become the third team of 7.

      I doubt they’d have a “floater”. Part of the early stages is learning to work as a team and having that support network there for the hardest part. I can’t see them doing that to someone.

      Another thought, maybe nobody does leave of the 30 – they split into two other teams of 7-8 each trained by Bob/Jillian – problem is I doubt they’d have Bob and Jillian around too long.

      I know you’re not hot on Wikipedia, but I’ve updated all the player profiles as best as I can with locations, ages, occupations, starting weights and any other mentioned comments. This was from footage on the official site from the first episode. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Biggest_Loser_Australia_%28Season_3%29
