Trailer Choir's year didn't start off with a bang. They lost their record deal, went from a trio to a duo when Crystal left and Big Vinny landed in the hospital, forcing the group to cancel their appearance at FrogFest this past year. But things are looking up.
Trailer Choir's Big Vinny Hickerson doesn't want to be 'rockin' the beer gut' anymore. Vinny who tips the scale at 426 pounds is taking part in the new season of NBC's 'The Biggest Loser' which begins tonight at 8.
In Vinny's 'Meet the Cast' video he talks about gaining weight at the age of 9. He grew up with an abusive father and was at 300 pounds by grade 8. Vinny's goal is to be a solid 250 pounds by the end of the season. He also wants to be able to take his fiance's son back to Universal Studios where he couldn't get on the Harry Potter ride because he weighed too much.
Trailer Choir's Big Vinny Hickerson will be one of this seasons contestants on NBC's "The Biggest Loser" premiering September 20th. A big favorite at past Frogfest's Big Vinny encountered unspecified health problems earlier this year which forced Trailer Choir to bow out of this years "Wild West Frogfest and Rodeo".
