A whole new crop of Losers will compete on the new season of the show - and this time, they’ve got more weight to lose than ever before.
Season 9 of NBC’s The Biggest Loser will feature the program’s heaviest cast and its largest contender to date: Michael Ventrella, who weighs in at 526 lbs.
A set of identical twins, two cousins and a husband and wife team will join several parent-child teams in this installment of the series. It all begins on January 5 at 8pm.

NBC easily outweighed the competition last night. Tuesday’s finale of The Biggest Loser tallied its best ratings since the fall 2005 ender. That meant a double-win for the network. Meanwhile, a new Disney creation was a bright spot for ABC yesterday.
8pm
- An NCIS* repeat (15.1 million, 2.8/8 in 18-49) was the most-watched show of the night.
- The Biggest Loser (13.5 million, 5.0/13) was up 3.5 million from last week.
- Disney Prep & Landing (4.1/11) debuted to 12 million.
- A Charlie Brown Christmas (3.7/11) attracted 11.2 million Peanuts fans.
- So You Think You Can Dance (6.3 million, 2.4/6) added on 600,000.
- 90210 (1.9 million, 1.0/3) slipped by 300,000.

Last night’s presidential address did little for ABC but a lot for NBC. Yesterday’s episode of The Biggest Loser gave its network a win in the demos. (An absent Jay Leno also helped in that matter.) Meanwhile, a post-DWTS ABC placed fourth in both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- The presidential address (1.9/6 in 18-49) pulled in 10.2 million for CBS.
- NBC’s political coverage (2.1/6) raised 8.1 million.
- Approximately 7.5 million watched President Obama on ABC (1.7/5).
- FOX (1.8/5) catered to 4.6 million.
- 90210 (1.1/3) settled for 2.2 million.

MONDAY (11/23)
- Little People, Big World (TLC, 8pm): “Molly fails a Spanish test and decides to stop speaking English until she masters the foreign language.” And you didn’t think anybody learned anything on this channel.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie’s male ego is bruised when he learns that he hasn’t been satisfying Chelsea.” Well, it has been a long time since he was a Hot Shot.
- Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC, 10pm): “Jon and Kate reflect on changes in their lives and the ups and downs over the years in the series finale.” Just so I’m clear—would Jon’s weight be considered an up or a down?

Didn’t know Heather Locklear was moving back to Melrose Place? Apparently you weren’t the only who missed that invite. Locklear’s return to the famous address hardly raised an eyebrow last night. The CW program still pulled in under a 1.0 in the rating and trailed behind its lead-in.
8pm
- NCIS (20.2 million, 4.1/11 in 18-49) remained steady.
- V (9.3 million, 3.1/8) let another 1.4 million escape.
- The Biggest Loser (9.4 million, 3.7/10) lost 300,000.
- NBC’s Merry Madagascar (2.9/8) entertained 5 million.
- So You Think You Can Dance (6 million, 2.4/7) raised 200,000.
- 90210 (2.1 million, 1.1/3) did the same as last week.

The novelty of aliens on Earth was bound to wear off sometime soon. After a spectacular debut just seven days ago, V fell 27% in the prime demos. Although that’s the largest Week 2 drop for any scripted show this season, the resulting number should still be pleasing to ABC.
8pm
- NCIS (20.1 million, 4.4/12 in 18-49) picked up 700,000.
- V (10.7 million, 3.8/10) lost 3.2 million.
- The Biggest Loser (9.7 million, 3.8/10) gained 700,000.
- So You Think You Can Dance (5.8 million, 2.3/6) slipped by 300,000.
- 90210 (2.1 million, 1.2/3) matched its season demo high.

MONDAY (11/9)
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie and Alan wake up together…with a woman they don’t recognize.” Strange, but significantly less awkward than two and a half men.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “Ray Langston of the Las Vegas crime lab arrives in Miami to investigate after a severed leg found in the Everglades is discovered to belong to a girl who disappeared in Las Vegas a week earlier.” Horatio + Morpheus = sunglasses showdown.
- Little People, Big World (TLC, 10pm): “Jake gets his own cell phone for his 12th birthday, and before long he racks up an outrageous bill, making Matt and Amy question whether he s ready for the responsibility.” The Learning Channel is not known for highlighting responsibility—in pre-teens or fathers of eight.
