Sounds like you want a local version of My 600lb Life more than a TBL reboot 
IMO The format is too tired for network TV at this point, the fact that Ten’s last attempt went so bad it had to be burned off in daytime TV (and had casting that was very poorly screened - one of the contestants had clearly gained weight deliberately prior to getting cast on the show and didn’t even hide his YouTube content showing this fact off) says enough.

Hope that never happens.
One would hope Seven aren’t stupid enough to pick up a format like TBL which was a dud on arrival for its last season.

It will probably rate well with the right casting. But I am sick of Seven picking up old formats, they need to do something original. Holey Moley is probably it for Seven in 2021 unfortunately.
Surely after the disaster TBL: Transformed was for Ten in 2017, no network with a brain would touch any revamped version of The Biggest Loser Australia with a 50 foot barge pole?!
Don’t think there’s much (if any) demand from the public for a TBL revival either.
Same can be said about all three commercial networks, if I’m being honest. Hopefully they’ll realise that viewers want more new and exciting formats before it’s too late.

If Holey Moley doesn’t perform, they might just end up going back to more pre-existing formats.
I hope Holy Moly doesn’t rate, from the promos I’ve seen it isn’t original the jokes are lame and lack originality and it is relying on humour of people falling of objects which to me is just not funny at all. They could do a lot better. The promos just don’t excite me it’s very same old same old to me. Due to this Seven don’t deserve to have this show as a rating success.

Well if I may ask what would you like to see then?
Something original that uses intelligent humour which isn’t people falling off objects.

This probably means nothing, but The Biggest Loser changed their profile picture and cover photo on Facebook today to a generic The Biggest Loser logo.
Bit random.

I would be happy to see this again!

It feels like it has been long enough now. I enjoyed it back in the day.
TBL was one of the first reality shows to be expanded over multiple nights. I don’t know if the format would survive in 2024. I doubt it would be able to be done at the scale (no pun intended) it once was.

Looks like they might be giving it another go. No idea why else they’d choose to update the page given 7 years of inactivity.
Don’t think this would work again.
Looks like it’s definitely coming back. You don’t just log into the account 7 years later and change the picture.

Surely not … right.
The positive “nice” version of the show didn’t work as most shows need controversy,
and a more harsh version like the original series won’t work because of the body issues it presents as well as the fact that a 12 week crash course weight loss program is ultimately ineffective for the intended aim - I believe there’s a study from the American version which indicates that most contestants go back to their starting weight because the drastic change in such a short time impacts their ability to actually keep the weight off primarily from impacting their metabolism.
Which network are the poor suckers who commissioned this?

They’d be mad to go for this again. Clearly they haven’t been burnt hard enough by the last time this flopped right in their faces that it ended up going to daytime.

Could be Seven as they have the American version on 7plus.

It’s been 7 years. That’s a long time. It could work after such a long break.

Airing another version doesn’t mean much
I think there’s a fair few examples of formats where a foreign version runs on one channel but another runs the local version.

Survivor and The Amazing Race both immediately come to mind.

I would love to see the same trainers back but I doubt Michelle and Commando would do it together. Have one of them, Shannon, Tiffany Hall, and either Hayley Lewis or Fiona Falkiner hosting.
I’d go for the Families format again if a revival happens.
