The search is on for the Season 4 participants of the hit television show “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition.”
“Although this may not be in your immediate area, we are hoping to have some candidates travel the short distance to meet with us in an attempt to change their lives,” producers with Eyeworks USA said.
Candidates are asked to either attend an open call or send in a home tape.
“Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition” documents the amazing makeover of 15 courageous, “super obese” people who, in an unprecedented 365 days, set out to safely lose up to half of their body weight, ultimately revealing an amazing metamorphosis. In each of the 13 stand-alone, two-hour episodes, the participants undergo a transformation not only of their bodies, but of who they are as individuals.
“Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition” is executive-produced by JD Roth, Todd A. Nelson, Matt Assmus and Brant Pinvidic. Open call locations are Saturday in Salt Lake City, Austin, Texas, Atlanta and Milwaukee; April 13 in Denver, Dallas and Nashville; April 20 in St. Louis, Oklahoma City, Okla., Phoenix and Jackson, Miss.; and April 27 in Chi-cago and Los Angeles.
