Did Mark lose the $100,000 by 1 pound? If so, this really was "the season of the 1 pound" ... to quote Jillian.

I'm thrilled for Ali...she deserved the win.

Hermione - the younger and heavier the contestants - the better chance they have of being like Ali (but they have to work it!) and for the months on the ranch that's all they do - no tv, no distractions!! (but temptations, and game play, and they have to work it!) I'm just saying some of us old farts have a harder time keepin up with the young'ns - and that chicken wing arms dont tighten up as well on BettieSue as they did Ali... hope this makes some sense!!

its not easy - but I think its easier on the ranch or on the game show than doing WW online - so HUGE KUDOS to those at home working it!!

YOU CAN do it Gayle!!

What's really lost in all of this is that Roger lost 164lbs. Can I just say, wow !

Did anyone else notice that the men were wearing body shaping things (don't know what to call them) underneath their Tshirts. You could really see it on Bernie, then I started to notice it on the others. I wonder how many of them will opt for some surgery to remove the excess skin.

Did the contestants go home for Thanksgiving and Christmas? From what people have been saying, the show was filmed from November to the end of February. I don't remember anything being mentioned during the shows about a visit home for the holidays...and I can't imagine all of them missing family time at such an important time of the year. I mean, the crying that Mark would have done if he had to miss the holidays would have been incredible. I didn't see every episode, so was just wondering if this was mentioned.

got to meet betty sue this morning at lax. we were all on the same flight to phoenix and i caught a glimpse of bright pink out of my eye in the lounge.
there she was...but with a terribly bruised up face. apparently she fell on the stairs on the stage and really hurt herself.
but despite her pain she was exactly the betty sue that we all saw on the show.
what a hoot!

Happygal, I never saw a single mention of holidays.

Dovez, what fun to meet Bette-Sue! I bet she was still over the moon about Ali's big win, huh?

Sorry she was so bruised up, though.

Paul had part of his colon removed. He had or is about to have a fifth surgery.

Happygal, oh the image of Mark being told he couldn't be home for the holidays! I could not have handled it.

Poor Paul. I am sorry he has had to go through that. At times I could see why he and Kelly divorced, but then at other times he won me over by being sweet and encouraging to her. That hot and cold is difficult to live with, though!

I still wonder if it is healthy to lose weight that quickly. Even though I know they do a ton of exercise, it seems excessive.

Seamonkey-

I read the same thing about Paul having to have his colon removed on another website. He apparently has been through quite a hard time since he left the Biggest Loser ranch. If I can find the link, I will post it.

I hope I am wrong but I get the impression that Ali has replaced one addiction (food) with another (exercise).

Completely agree. She was acting an awful lot like some people I've worked with who have eating disorders.

Here is the link to the other forum that I read about Paul in. Not sure how true it is, becuase I haven't seen it anywhere else.

If Ali has a sense of humor she'd come out with her arms up and claim they're locked.

Msbullwnkl I should post that link to another forum I visit - it sounds like he is battling the same problems a friend of mine is - she has been so sick, she was overweight - and had the diverticulitis... and so many surgeries - right now she is struggling to stay out of the hospital but her pottasium levels drop dangerously low... wow weird!

Cant wait to see Ellen today - Thanks for the heads up!!

I didn't doubt that Paul was sick if they said he was sick. If he just didn't choose to participate they'd have said that, as they did with at least one guy in Australian.

Very sorry about Paul being so ill, hope all goes well for him. I have always been concerned about how he faired at home especially since he reveal such a long kept secret on the show.

So the BL Show ran for 3 1/2 months on TV...but the contestants were at the ranch for 4 1/2 months...SO the WIEGH INS were not real time...weekly?????

Very misleading about the weight loss then, some had to be 2 weeks btw weigh ins...like maybe 4 times...which would explain some of the big weight losses during the last half of the game.

Yea Ali and Bernie!

Jillian was on Days of our Lives today. They had a scene in the gym. I didn't see her at first but I heard someone say "Take your hands off the treadmill..." I thought she said Jillian. At the time Ali was on the treadmill. We saw her later in the show. She was training one of the older women (Addie, I think.) She ragged on one of the vixens on the show. She said that she was going to teach classes. Ali said she was going to take them as did Addie and Mrs. Brady. Nicole, the vixen said she would think about it. Jillian told her that she was too thin and to have a meal. I really enjoyed seeing Jillian in another light. At the end, as the scene was ending, she called Addie a nickname and patted her butt and she gave Ali a smack on the behind also. glad I was on vacation this week.

TY Maggie. I haven't been able to consistently watch Days for years so I know I confused the names. Thanks for clearing that up Taterhead. I was confusing Ali's real name for her character of Sami. Thanks.

Jillian has a new workout DVD called Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I thought i was fairly fit (do yoga or Pilates and walk every day) and i tell you i think i was wrong after the beginners level on this! Feel great when i am done but during .. lets say I have gained even MORE respect for the folks who do Biggest Loser
Even doing the DVD Jillian does not "let" you slack off
