everyoung

Hey all,

The Biggest Loser is coming to Omaha and looking for contestants.

When are the tryouts?

10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. Auditioners are asked not to line up more than three hours before starting time.

Where is the casting call?

At Mrs. B’s Clearance Center, Nebraska Furniture Mart, 7312 Jones Circle.

Who can try out?

Anyone 18 or older by Sept. 24. “We’re looking for all types, all ethnicities, all personalities,” said Jesse Tannenbaum, a casting director for the show.

Do I need a teammate?

Bring one if you have one, but individuals are welcome, too.

What do the casting directors look for?

“We look for big personalities,” Tannenbaum said. “We want to find someone in need of help.” His advice: “If you have a big personality, we’ll notice it. If you don’t, don’t fake it. We’re open to all personalities. Be true to who you are. But don’t be a hermit — open up and don’t hold back.”
