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. 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.
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.
The "Total Votes" column indicates the number of votes cast against the contestant when he/she was eliminated.
^[E1] Andy and Leigh lost the challenge to become a contestant, and were sent home. They both returned Week 8.
^[R] Leigh fell below the red line and was automatically eliminated.
^[*] In the Week 9 Elimination, Art was given a yellow T-shirt from Alan, but does not affect any gameplay.
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".
