The Biggest Loser Contestant Roger Fired For Going On Show
JACKSONVILLE, Ala. (AP) -- Jacksonville State has fired associate athletic director Roger Shultz, who took leave to compete on the reality TV show "The Biggest Loser" five months after starting the job.
The university fired the former Alabama football player in mid-March after he returned home to Enterprise, where he is still working out in an effort to win the weight-loss competition.
In a statement, athletic director Jim Fuller says Shultz was hired to enhance the university's marketing and fundraising effort, but after just a few months on the job he chose to go on sick leave to be a part of a TV reality show.
Fuller says it's time to move forward with the marketing and fundraising effort.
Shultz, who started out at 363 pounds, had lost 127 pounds through this week's episode on the NBC show. Shultz started taping the show in October and said he understands Jacksonville State's decision.

Texan:
At the last minute a friend called so I missed the show. I did read Jillian's recap. Good for Mark waiting on Ali!! What a good sport. When I heard it was emotional I figured the brothers would be below the line together.
I also saw next week we get to pick the person to be booted...... that has me thinking.... do you want to see the person that has worked the hardest win, the person that has lost the most pounds, a woman, a man, a second chancer or another factor? Part of me says I do not want a 2nd chancer winning, they had their shot and were voted off. part of me wants to keep the 2 woman since there has not been a woman win. part of me wants Mark off because he is winning all the prizes right now and part says he earned it.
Jay and Kelly have the most still to lose. I really do not think Kelly will do as well without her trainer motivating her. Jay I am not sure about him. Part of me says he will not stick with it and part says yep this time he is serious. Ali I think will definitely stick with it but does she really have that much more to lose? She is nto a size 1 but she looks good. Mark well, we all know he is determined to win and I think if he is in the final 3 he wins hands down.
If Kelly stays motivated and keeps working out and watching what she eats she could be the biggest loser. Maybe she will inspire Paul to get active!

Oh your right Texan I'm going to have to think about this one.
I mean normally it's the person that has lost the least amount of weight that should get voted off so I don't know if I want to change that.

NBC Reveals New 'The Biggest Loser: Families' Edition To Air This Fall
NBC has announced The Biggest Loser: Families -- the reality weight-loss series' sixth-season -- will be part of the network's Fall 2008 primetime programming schedule with 90-minute episodes airing in the Tuesdays at 8PM ET/PT time slot.
NBC had previously announced The Biggest Loser's sixth season would follow the same "couples" format as the show's currently-airing fifth installment, however that plan has apparently changed.
Instead, the Fall 2008 installment will be a "family edition" featuring teams consisting of two family members each, with the minimum age requirement being 18-years-old.
The Biggest Loser: Couples' second installment -- which will consist of teams of two that can include any two contestants with a pre-existing relationship -- is now scheduled to air as part of NBC's 2008-2009 midseason primetime programming lineup in the Tuesdays at 8PM ET/PT time slot.
Alison Sweeney will reprise her hosting role for The Biggest Loser: Families, which will also include trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper. Kim Lyons, who replaced Michaels as the Red Team's trainer prior to the show's third season but was replaced by Michaels for the show's currently-airing fifth edition, will not be participating in the show's sixth installment.
