Moderator cut: 4 more sentences of excerpt

Kuykendall and nearly 700 other hopefuls lined up outside Nix Medical Center downtown for a chance to be on the reality show that “challenges and encourages overweight contestants to shed pounds in a safe and recommended manner through comprehensive diet and exercise,” according to the show's Web site.

Casting director Jodi Thomas said “Biggest Loser” came knocking on San Antonio's door because it's consistently listed as a top-10 fattest city and because the show had never looked for contestants here before

I was tempted to go try out but as a single mom being away from my daughter for that long just isn't happening.


Good luck to everyone who did though.

210 SA covered the auditions via the long, long line.

Hehe, at the start of the video there were a few people trying to navigate the crowd...

One of my best girlfriends tried out last year or the year before. I recall that she made it to the "2nd" round of callbacks but was then not contacted. She was asked for family and friend references so that the casting directors could get to know her through those that are close to her.

I was ready to giver her a great recommendation but never even received a call, oh well.

She moved to a downtown area of a large city and has since lost 30 pounds due to work hours, walking and better eating habits.

Hubby stood in line early morning and was the 20th person in line. He had the opportunity to talk to the casting folks and he was outta there around 10:30 am.

All I can say is they won't have difficulty finding contestants.

Exactly - I wish I had some kind of Biggest Loser contestant tracking device to stick to people blocking the ailes at HEB. It'd be kind of like the collars they stick on bears and squirrels, the producers could go track the prospective contestants down with a GPS or radio monitor.
