YAYYYYYY, Ali!  She's must be teeny tiny at 122. Glad I joined Weight Watchers last week, I need to catch up to her. Thanks again for the spoiling. I can't wait to watch the show. All in all, I think it was a pretty decent season.

Random thoughts re: finale I hope I am wrong but I get the impression that Ali has replaced one addiction (food) with another (exercise). Was a little surprised that Jennifer (Lynn's daughter) didn't lose more but then reminded myself that she was only campus for 1 wk so has achieved a great weight loss for having done it solo. Was really curious about Paul's progress and was a bit disapointed they didn't at least interview him remotely or by phone to get an update. Hope he isn't too sick for even that level of communication. Kelly looked great but even better... she sounded great. She sounded like she has had a real aha moment. Wish they would have said (or did I miss it?) how she resolved her back issue besides pushing through the pain. Yes, I HATE that they announce the winner and then pull the plug. GEEZ!!! Wouldn't it be great if they pulled a survivor? Announce winners first hour and spend the 2nd hour chatting with all of them plus Bob/Jillian about inside secrets?

I love this show! And I'm so happy that Ali won! I actually kind of like that she lost a decent portion of her weight when she was NOT at the ranch (even though they all have personal trainers even when they are home...still more difficult that at the ranch I think). One thing that I think is really astounding is that she lost sooooo much sooooo quickly and yet didn't seem to have the loose skin on her arms and abdomen that I would expect. I want to know her secret in that regard!!! Great show!

Kelly talking about fertility issues and miscarrying because she was morbidly obese. She goes from 271 lbs. to 162 lbs. (40.22%) Okay, I saw an interview where she said was wearing a size 6. Maybe it was misdirection, but a size 6 at 162 lbs? Although, kudos for her weight loss. She deserved it. Did anyone notice the more weight she lost, the less emotional she was? I suspect the reason Paul was 'sick' was because he had not lost any weight and possibly gained weight since he left the ranch. I think all of them replace a food addiction to exercise addiction at some level. Let's just hope they find a nice balance. Gayle, best of luck with the WW !!! My sister went on WW in January. She could never lose any weight and would not stay on any plan. She's now close to losing 40 pounds and saying how great WW is for her. She likes the support system there. You can do it!!!

Thanks, Kooklie! I joined WW online and I'm really loving it. It's a great program to get back to the basics of proper nutrition. My goal is to lose 20 lbs. Yes, I can do it!!

How exciting.. I wish they'd given a bit more time at the end for celebration of the big win!

Great outcome! I thought they all looked healthy with the possible exception of Mark, who looked sort of tired to me (maybe part of that was the scraggly beard). Intereting, too, that the women would have kept Roger, but Mark just barely edged him out for %. And Bernie beat two of the finalists and three of the final four. Amanda and Curtis did very well considering how early they were booted.. well Ali of course was amazing considering the early demise of Pink Team.

boy Mark and Roger's percentages are so close!! I wondered what happened to Paul, the last report was the pnemonia? and Britany did amazing considering that health find that was found (not that I remember the details!!) I was rooting for Jillian this season, only because of how they "stacked" Bob's team - I think that also talks to the contenstants to persevere - to overcome any and all obstacles, LIFE is not FAIR - dig in and fight for you!! Bob also went down a notch in regards to how he was shown on camera (so maybe it was a production plant?) talking down about Jillian's mom - or going in for counseling... that just was amazing So why does Jillian get results? I think there is a lot 'behind the scenes' - Does she call the contestants? (we saw when Paul went home how Paul didnt answer her calls) after they leave the ranch? Before the last weigh in? Scales - are you telling me that they havent weighed themselves except on camera? I'm not buying that!

I don't watch, but I have a question - what time period do these people lose the weight in?

Hermione, this season was a bit different because they rushed it to air in light of the writers strike. They said on the finale that they were at the ranch for 4 1/2 mnths and then home for 6 wks before last nights show. I believe in the past they are home for 3 mnths btn the ranch and the final weigh-in. I think if they would have been home those extra 6-7 wks that Ali would not have won. She just didn't have anymore left to lose while Kelly would have dropped another 10 lbs and Roger could have squeezed just a few more as well. Not taking the win away from Ali, just saying that the time is a very important factor in the outcome.
