The Biggest Loser: Temptation Nation is the 17th season of The Biggest Loser which premiered January 4, 2016, on NBC. Dolvett Quince and Jennifer Widerstrom returned as trainers, while former trainer Bob Harper takes over Alison Sweeney as host. The contestants competed to win a $250,000 prize which was awarded to Roberto Hernandez, the contestant with the highest percentage of weight loss.

The cast was announced on December 1 and includes Survivor: Borneo winner Richard Hatch[1] and The Voice season two semi-finalist Erin Willett.[2]

This season's theme is temptation and indulgences, including not just food but money, electronics and shopping.[1]
