No, it is Kelly and Ali in the finals for sure and we choose between Roger and Mark.

I don't know who I think deserves to be the other finalist. I think that Mark really has grown a lot, but he does get penalty points for the excessive crying. I think Roger has really been slow and steady in his weight loss and he has lost his job for being on the show, yet seemingly handled that with maturity. Both have been hot and cold in their support of the other contestants. Actually I wish we could cast tie votes and let them both compete. But then again, I don't like the voting out along the way anyway. I say that the only people who should have gone home were the ones who didn't fully commit to the program.

That is so great that both Kelly and Ali made the finals without having to be voted in. Maybe a woman can win this.

We need bob's chart prior to voting !

I need to go on this show! It would be wonderful to see a woman win.

This is a tough one. I like both guys, but I'm more a fan of Mark than I am of Roger. However, I hate reality show twists that bring back eliminated contestants and give them another chance in the game. I hated it when Big Brother brought back Amy in BB3, Kaysar in BB6, and this year both Sharon & James were given a second chance in the game. Likewise, I also didn't like it when Biggest Loser brought back both Mark and Ali, even though I like both of them better than I like Roger and Kelly.

IMO, I think this should be a final two of just Kelly and Roger, the two remaining contestants that were never eliminated. Therefore, I'm voting for Roger to be the 3rd finalist.

BTW, enough with this fallacy of Ali losing more weight at the ranch than any woman in Biggest Loser history. When Ali was eliminated on week 4 she weighed 198 lbs. When she returned on week 10, Ali weighed in at 167 lbs. That's 31 lbs. she DIDN'T lose as an active contestant at the ranch. Same holds true for Mark. He was eliminated on week 9 weighing 201 lbs. When Mark returned the next week he weighed 195 lbs. Six lbs. of his total weight loss was achieved after he was eliminated for the first time and before he returned to the game. If a previously eliminated contest (Ali or Mark) wins this season, I'll consider it to be a tainted win. Put an asterisk next to his or her name.

I'm wondering if there was a few days extra in this last "week" (with all that traveling).

When you vote you don't have to enter your real name,birthday,phone number(on another site someone suggested using your proper area code-and first 3 digits but making up the last 4)

You can use the back button on your browser and vote much faster(presuming you don't lose the data)

I voted for Mark a bunch of times. I didn't count.

ps. You can vote up to 100 times per email address

I don't want to think of what they did to their bodies to get those numbers this week. It could not have been healthy. If this is a preview of what they are willing to do to win the money, then I would expect some scary thin people to show up at the finale.

I would assume that the girls would have voted out Roger if given the chance, so the viewer vote does give him a chance to make the finals. I would vote for Roger, but I don't vote.

I agree, Ali and Mark should never have been brought back. Like Dan said, "I beat these guys once, now I have to do it again."
Kelley is my favourite. At least she doesn't stand around crying and choking like the men do. And besides, she had to spend all those weeks with her ex-husband who kept trying to hit on her.
Eeeuuu.

I thought Ali was voted out for purely strategic reasons, it was all just about alliances at that point and teams, not about yellow lines. So I was happy to see her return so we weren't left with women who managed to hang in there for a long time but really didn't lose much.

Working out at home probably has more disadvantages than advantages and she missed out on a few opportunities to win money that the others had.

Anyway, I'm real happy that Ali and Kelly are both in top three.. and nice that neither will be there because of viewer voting.

Yes clearly they would have voted out Roger if they had been able to vote.

I think we may have MULTIPLE at-home losers with bigger %'s then the three finalists when all is said and done. Ali is pretty much at goal weight, especially with the wonderful muscle definition she has... she would be unwise to lose more then a couple more pounds. Likewise Mark seems to be real close to the lowest weight I would want to see him at. If either Ali or Mark break the 50% mark then they will dangerously thin and IMO unable to maintain it for longer then it takes to tape the finale. LOL

Kelly can get to 50% and be healthy. Roger would be a bit thin but not dangerously so (maybe a man could chime in on this, I am better with women's weights). Depending on the time btn this wks show and the finale I am betting on Kelly to win especially if the public votes Mark as the third finalist.

It will be so wrong if Ali wins because she shows up looking like the walking dead. That is NOT the way I want to see a woman win.

I've stopped watching the show because I feel like it's taken away from the real reason the contestants are there. I however wouldn't be surprised if Ali won.

I was glad to see that the 2 women were above the yellow line but what a crappy twist of fate that America gets to decide who the 3rd person in the finale is. I mean the women finally had the power after weeks of listening to the boys go on and on and after some challenges geared more to the guys and it gets taken away from them. Jillian looked so ticked off!

So, did anyone notice Rocco looking at the cheap plastic glasses in a funny way? He did it about 3 times. I was giggling at that.

Rocco Despirito (sp?)came in the first hour and showed them how to cook their favorite foods in a healthier way. Then, the 5 of them sat down to eat and toasted their accomplishments with cheap plastic glasses.

Great idea for them to put on their former fat suits. Suddenly they coundn't run. It will motivate them to keep it off. Do we know how much real time it is for the contestants till the finale?

they always say alli lost the most of any female on campus ever, BUT she was home for a few weeks so she really doesn't hold that record...

real time until the finale...isn't it around 2 months.

I found it interesting this week when they kept referring to week 15 and yet Mark said twice how he'd been away from his wife and kids for 5 months.

With those massive losses this week I'd guess they went 10 days or more between weigh-ins.

I read somewhere that there was 6 weeks between the last weigh-in and the finale.

Happy gal, I noticed that about time frames too. I know a bit of time could have been because of pre-show prep, but not that much!

Allegedly Kelly was living with Julie(season 4)and using her trainer-so to speak.

I read that Kelly is a size 6 now. She spent the last six weeks living with Julie from BL4. It's confirmed on Julie's MySpace page. I cannot wait to see her!
