The first season of The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition was aired on ABS-CBN. It is based on The Biggest Loser franchise that first became popular in the United States.^[1] The show is presented by Sharon Cuneta and game master Derek Ramsay. Chinggay Andrada and Jim Saret are the trainers for the contestants. On October 8, 2011, Larry Martin was titled the first Pinoy Biggest Loser at the Ynares Sports Arena.

Contestants

Twelve contestants were revealed in a special primer entitled Bigating Pinoy: The Biggest Loser Primer which aired May 15, 2011. Four additional contestants were revealed in the season premiere, but only two contestants (Destiny and Larry) earned their right to stay to complete the list of fourteen contestants. In Episode 2, it was announced that the two sent home in the qualifier competition will return later in the game to earn a second chance contestant spot. On week 15, the 12 eliminated contestants, known as the Black Team, returned to the camp. Only one of them will return to the game. On week 16, Hazel won the wildcard competition and returned to the game.

Challenges

Each week, contestants meet Derek Ramsay, the Game Master, and face physical challenges to test their teamwork, endurance and strength. After the first challenge where Destiny and Larry earned the right to stay, contestants were separated into two teams by their respective fitness trainers; namely, the Red and the Blue team.

There are two kinds of challenges performed every week. One is the "Fun Challenge", where the challenge consisted of no serious ramifications, punishments and/or reward. The second challenge is the "Big Challenge" in which a reward and punishment are on the line. Beginning Week 7, the contestants were no longer under the banner of their respective teams, and instead were given individual colors to remind them that they were on their own, competing against each other. Challenges tabulated in here will only be the "Big Challenge".

Episode Summaries

The daily summaries of each episode do not specifically reflect its aired week.

Week 1

• Episode 1: Alan, Angela, Art, Eboy, Edden, Eric, Hazel, JM, Joy, Raffy, Ryan, and Winwin enter the Biggest Loser campus for a four-month weight loss journey. Right when the original twelve contestants stepped onto the camp, they were told by the host Sharon that four more contestants would be introduced (Andy, Destiny, Larry, and Leigh). However, the four contestants must earn their right to stay for the final two spots as official contestants. In the qualifying challenge, the four contestants must crawl back and forth to grab their row's colored flags. Meanwhile, the twelve original contestants take turns as a human timer for the challenge by performing jumping jacks. The first two contestants to grab all their colored flags earn contestant status. Destiny and Larry completed the qualifying challenge, while Andy and Leigh did not and were eliminated.
• Episode 2: Before Andy and Leigh officially left the camp, Sharon surprises them with the news that they will be training with a Biggest Loser team at home. They will both come back at some point later in the game hoping for a second chance in the competition. The fourteen official contestants enter the camp for an opening night feast with their favorite foods, hoping it is their final unhealthy feast. The next day, they are introduced with the dirty dishes and the trainers Chinggay and Jim. Also that day, the contestants weigh in for the first time. Eric, Alan, and Angela weigh in.
• Episode 3: The remaining eleven contestants weigh in. Eboy is the heaviest male of the group weighing in at 481 pounds, and is also stated to be one of the heaviest contestants in the whole franchise. Joy is the heaviest female of the group weighing in at 320 pounds.
• Episode 4: Chinggay and Jim train for the contestants' first training. This also gave the trainers' chance to learn some background knowledge from the contestants. Later, the trainers choose which contestants will be in their team. The first five contestants are chosen. Chinggay chooses Destiny, Winwin, and Art for the Red Team. Jim chooses Alan and Larry for the Blue Team.
• Episode 5: The remaining nine contestants get their team colors. Chinggay chooses Hazel, Raffy, Ryan, and Eboy for the Red Team. Jim chooses Angela, Eric, JM, Edden, and Joy for the Blue Team. Later, the Red and Blue teams participate in their first team challenge. Each team must pull a 10-ton truck forward to a finish line. Along the way, there will be two stops where crates must be loaded onto the truck. When a team's truck reaches the finish line, the teammates must unload the truck and re-arrange the crates to form the logo of the show. During the competition in the first loading stop, Destiny sprains her foot and forces the Red Team to lose valuable time. At the end, Blue Team wins the competition and win a spa treatment and massage. The Red Team lost and therefore they received a disadvantage. The Red Team loses gym time and trainer Chinggay for 48 hours.

Week 2

• Episode 6: The teams begin exercising for the upcoming weigh-in later in the week. The teams report in their challenge results. The Red Team compromises their disadvantage by working on their teamwork skills and exercising with what they have outside.
