LEGENDARY FASHION GURU TIM GUNN HELPS MAKE OVER SEVEN REMAINING CONTESTANTS ON SPECIAL EPISODE OF NBC'S "THE BIGGEST LOSER: COUPLES" AIRING TUESDAY, MARCH 18 (8-10 P.M. ET)

BURBANK, CA � March 13, 2008 � "Project Runway's" fashion guru and mentor Tim Gunn makes a special appearance on NBC's "The Biggest Loser: Couples" on Tuesday, March 18 (8-10 p.m. ET), helping make over the contestants in what has become a fan favorite every season � the makeover episode!

After working so hard to lose weight for 12 weeks, the remaining seven contestants get treated to the ultimate day of pampering with makeovers for all. First, they're joined by legendary fashion maven Tim Gunn, who helps each of them choose a stylish outfit at Macy's that flatters their new, skinnier selves. Next they're treated to eye-catching new hairstyles so they'll be looking their best at a runway fashion show that will be photographed for the May issue of Prevention Magazine. Then the contestants strut their stuff � with new clothes and new "dos" � down a fashion show runway, unaware that loved ones are waiting to surprise each one in emotional, heartwarming reunions.

Later, back at the ranch, the contestants square off in a vigorous challenge in which they must walk on treadmills, suspended over water, at increasing speeds � and two players battle it out for more than an hour! Then comes a heated elimination round, when another player is sent packing. Alison Sweeney is the host, and Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.

"The Biggest Loser: Couples" is a production of Reveille LLC, 25/7 Productions and 3Ball Productions. Ben Silverman (NBC's "The Office," "Ugly Betty"), Dave Broome ("A Model Life with Petra Nemcova," "Tsunami Aid: A Concert of Hope"), JD Roth ("Age of Love," "Beauty and the Geek"), Todd A. Nelson ("Unan1mous," "Beauty and the Geek") and Mark Koops ("American Gladiators," "Shear Genius") serve as executive producers.
