<p>How long until <em>Biggest Loser</em> entities takes over all of NBC Primetime (pre-Leno, of course)?  What other spin-offs could there be?  I&#8217;d say a <em>Biggest Loser</em>&#8211;<em>Dancing with the Star</em>s mash-up, but I guess <em><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXkEhWMN9M0" target="_blank">Dance Your Ass Off</a> </em>already beat them to it.  Or they could just go the <em>CSI/NCIS</em> route and introduce <em>The Biggest Loser: Houston</em>.</p>
<p>Watch out Dick Wolf, you and your <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_&amp;_Order_%28franchise%29" target="_blank"><em>Law &amp; Order</em> franchise</a> might have a new competitor breathing (heavily) down your neck.</p>
