An open casting call for Biggest Loser takes place on Saturday at the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, and a large crowd is expected -- and no, that's not an inappropriate joke. Although the casting directors who'll be on hand -- stars like Jillian Michaels won't be present -- hope to see at least the first five-hundred contestants who turn up, there are no guarantees.

But don't try to arrive too early in order to improve your chances.

The casting call release requests, "Please do not line up more than 3 hours before the open call start time" -- presumably because some potential candidates may be in ill health, and waiting longer could make everyone a loser.
