Biggest Loser, Trump Edition announces contestants
In major coup, Chris Christie picks Trump over
other Biggest Loser show
Trump Production announced today that preliminary casting has been completed for Donald J. Trump's newest reality show, Biggest Loser, Trump Edition.
The show is scheduled to begin airing on Friday, January 20, 2017, the day of Trump's inauguration as 45th president of the United States.
Not to be confused with another reality show The Biggest Loser, which pits morbidly obese contestants in a
callous diet/exercise program resulting in the cumulative loss of tons of
weight, all of which is recovered within two years, Biggest Loser, Trump Edition will determine which former Trump
opponents and critics are the biggest loser based on how emphatically they now embrace Trump’s candidacy compared to
their previous anti-Trump statements and/or, how Trump embraces their support
compared to how he insulted and demeaned them in the past.
The preliminary casting announced today includes:
- New Jersey governor Chris Christie, now a Trump surrogate, insider and wannabe vice-presidential candidate, who once called Trump “thin-skinned,” blasted Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims, saying this is "the kind of thing that people say when they have no experience and don't know what they're talking about," called Trump a “carnival barker,” criticized him for mocking people with disabilities, called Trump a liar when he said Muslims in Jersey City “cheered when the Twin Towers fell” and mocked Trump for calling “everyone in Washington a loser.”
(Editor’s Note: Chris Christie was also considered for the other biggest loser reality show, The Biggest Loser, but felt he couldn’t, as a former federal prosecutor, turn down the opportunity to participate in the best biggest loser show on TV.)
- Former Texas governor Rick Perry, who has gone on record not only supporting the Trump candidacy but publicly pleading for consideration as his vice-president, but who once called Donald Trump’s candidacy “a cancer on conservatism which must be clearly diagnosed, excised and discarded before it sends the Republican Party to the same place it sent the Whig Party in 1854: the graveyard,” and characterized Trump as “the modern-day incarnation of the know-nothing movement.”
- Former Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal who called Trump a “narcissist” and an “egomaniacal madman,” but who now supports Trump's candidacy.
- Arizona senator and former Republican presidential candidate, John McCain, who says he is backing Trump despite Trump’s disparagement of McCain’s war record when he said, “(McCain’s) a war hero because he got captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
- Florida senator and former presidential candidate, Marco Rubio, who Trump called “Little Marco.” Rubio is now saying he will support Trump, despite chiding Trump for the “size of his hands,” with the suggestion that small hand size was indicative of “other small body parts,” and who most recently said we should not hand the "the nuclear codes of the United States to an erratic individual," going on to say, "There is a lunatic in North Korea with nuclear weapons. And some would say there's a lunatic trying to get ahold of nuclear weapons in America."
- Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich who once deplored Trump's candidacy but is now supporting him, even going so far as to throw his hat into the vice-presidential ring, saying, "Look, I'll do anything to get attention so if supporting Trump is what it takes, that's what I'll do."
