with all the filler in that episode it would have been nice if they'd given the winner 30 seconds to say something. Enough network promotion at the end there??

So glad Michelle won- with her smile & personality, she will make a great spokesperson for Subway & 24 hr Fitness. Making all the women wear those super high heels to make their butts look thinner was stupid. Only Michelle didn't hobble. Being so short, she was used to wearing heels. Some of the losers still needed to lose alot more.

Finale Live Show: Audience screaming, signs waving, Alli comes in, pregnant, to kick off the show. Proud to be part of a show that transforms people. Sixteen teams, husbands and wives, parents and children and one team, Ed and Heba made it to end and we will announce which one you voted into top three. First look back at how far all players have come. And we see lots of the clips we've seen already. Alli tells us that the13 non-finalists will compete for the home prize of $100.000 and then the top three will be weighed in to see who is the Biggest Loser. But first we have to reveal who was voted into the top three with Michelle and Vicky, Heba or Ed? We see Heba and she looks skinny, new hairstyle, happy. (Unrecognizable! We see Ali and her mom, who looks quite stunned). Alli says Ed made it clear that he wanted Heba to be voted into top three. Heba feels very lucky, hopes to be part of an all-female finale tonight. Now we get to see Ed. LOL. Ed looks like one of the guys on Top Chef (not current season). He looks good. Both dressed in all black. He still wants Heba to win, knew froom day one. Third Finalist: America chose 84% chose ED Heba looks sad. (Wow, guess I wasn't alone in wanting to foil them). Heba says they weren't there for a paycheck and are winners no matter what (and of course she still is in the running for the $100,000.) Ed says he's disappointed but it is "the economy". Heba competing for $100,000 and Ed for the $25,000. Competition for $100,000 While Heba goes to change into her weigh in outfit, we get to see the other 12 who continued working out at home. We see Adam, Stacey, LT and Tom and wow, Stacey is looking really really good! Now Bob and Jillian arrive on stage.. Bob rushes over to hug Stacey and the others, Jillian too. These four weigh in now.. Adam up first. Can run a 5K easily. Goal 220lb. He weighs 260, down 80lb 23.53% loss. Current leader. Stacey next. She had to balance parenting, working out, etc. Will buy a dress for the first time since her wedding, for finale. She lost 65lb, now 156, 29.41%. Goes into lead. LT up next. Now inspiring his family. He lost 87lb, 23.37%. Stacey stays in lead. Tom up. He was able to go off all his 9 meds before leaving ranch, still working out, whole family too. Lost 78lb, Stacey still in lead. Now we will see Jerry and Coleen and Jerry looks pretty good! Coleen looks GREAT and happy. Shellay looks hot! Amy, whoa! Good news.. Jerry's medical tests were the most shocking and terrifying ever.. body of a 76 year old. She tells him Dr H's latest tests.. Dr Huizenga is there.. tells him now look at you, running in 5Ks, 3 diseases, gone, 5 medicines gone. Inner age today is 52! You won 24 years of life! (He has a yellow tie on, BTW) These four go off to put on weigh in outfits. Jerry next. He takes over the lead with a 30.26% weight loss! Crowd cheering JerRY, JerRY! Coleen up. She is in third but only 2 pounds out from beating her Dad. Very happy with 29.36% loss, 64lb. Shellay next. She looks really down in weight and indeed moves into the lead with 34.26% loss, down 74lb. Amy up next, also looks great. And she vaults ahead of mom and into the lead, losing 104lb/43.51%! Now the last five eliminated players come out. Husband and wife, Phil (he also looks like a Top Chef!) and Amy (hot in a red dress). Then Brady, Renee (hot mom with even shorter hair now). Brady tells us that Vicky looks fantastic. Renee tells us Michelle took it to a whole new level. They go back to change. Phil up now (LOL, he shaved the rest of his hair.. guess that will count as weight loss). Life's been great, involved with the kids. With a 45.62% loss, he goesinto the lead. Amy P next. New haircut, learned to balance her needs with family needs. Life has improved, better mom. She needs to have lost more than 104lb to go into first and... she's lost 105! Getting serious.. Brady is next. With Vicky in the finals they have two chances to win. The big worry was their daughter's weight. BL gave two kids their father back. (He also had braces on his teeth, says at finale he'll be hot soccer dad without braces). No double prize, but Brady lost 115lb. Renee is up next, looks so good! Got her daughter back. Lost 106 pounds! (I actually prefer her look, not too drastically thin for the time frame) Amy P still in lead. Heba stands in the way of Amy P winning the prize. Here's Heba. She needs to have lost more than 134lb. (She is still looking kinda down and upset about the viewer vote). And yep, Heba wins the 100,000. I thought there were some boos (but lots of cheers) but that may be my own projection.
Person/Color | Starting Wt | Current Wt | Loss | % | Heba/Orange | 294 | 156 | -138 | 47.54 | Amy P/Red | 229 | 124 | -105 | 45.85 | Phil/Red | 331 | 180 | -151 | 45.62 | Amy C/Purple | 239 | 135 | -104 | 43.51 | Renee/Pink | 267 | 161 | -106 | 39.70 | Brady/Brown | 341 | 224 | -117 | 34.31 | Shellay/Purple | 216 | 142 | -74 | 34.26 | Jerry/Yellow | 380 | 265 | -115 | 30.26 | Stacey/Green | 221 | 156 | -65 | 29.41 | Coleen/Yellow | 218 | 154 | -64 | 29.36 | Tom/Grey | 314 | 236 | -78 | 24.84 | LT/Grey | 357 | 270 | -87 | 24.37 | Adam/Green | 340 | 260 | -80 | 23.53 | Biggest Loser Weigh-in: We see Ed as he went home. He wants that last little bit of triumph. He and Heba arrive to a huge crowd. Ed's mom is proud of him. The restaurant, Humble Pie, gave Ed a place on the menu for healthy dishes. He says he struggled with food. (He's a cook) Vicky and Michelle have no clue how hard I'm working, he says. Before Ed's weigh-in, another Bob and Jillian interview.. what to do at home. Bob is pretty manic, after Heba's win.. Jillian sounds a bit sad to me. Now we see Vicky, left ranch, sees welcome home sign at some business, goes to pick up her son. Greeted by group outside and daughter. And Brady. She thanks them for letters (huh? Didn't think they had that contact; no wonder Vicky blew off comps for letters??) She goes to the gym before and after work now, misses most time with her kids every day of the week. She cries. Not a quitter. Says working and working with no results, only 2 pounds lost in 7 weeks. But stronger. And we see Michelle arriving home. Ready to live life. Family in pink .. Ah, she drove up to see her mom.. first time to actully visit with her. We see her ordering at Subway with "all the veggies". Some days works out 4 hours, some days 2. Knows that Heba and Amy doing everything to win. Ed comes back out dressed up, looking trim and slim. Vicky comes out, clearly down more than 2 pounds. Hard time walking on very high heels, almost falls. Michelle now, looks great, hugs Vicky and Ed. THey go to get changesd. (I have NO idea who will be the winner at this point!) OMG! Promo for next season: 11 couples, 3.5 tons, oldest couple ever (63 years old), biggest woman ever (379lb), biggest contestant ever (454lb and age 19) and we see BOB AND JILLIAN! Michelle had highest % lost on the ranch, so she gets to choose order of weigh in. She says in order they are standing, Ed, Vicky and then Michelle. Ed down 41.49%, lost 139lb (would have come in 4th if he'd been in Heba's place) Looking good for Vicky and Michelle. Vicky up next: Needs to have lost more than 102lb to go ahead. Ack! She lost 101. Ed still in first. She gets a standing ovation, led by Brady. And finally, Michelle will weigh in. Needs to have lost more than 100lb. And yesss! She has lost 110lb. Renee and Jillian rush up and hug her. Michelle is the Biggest Loser! (this is two dark haired women on Pink teams with their moms in a row!!) .
Person | Original Wt | Current Wt | Loss | % | Michelle/Pink | 242 | 132 | -110 | 45.50 | Ed/Orange | 335 | 196 | -139 | 41.49 | Vicky/Brown | 246 | 145 | -101 | 41.06 | | |
Person/Color | Starting Wt | Current Wt | Loss | % | Heba/Orange | 294 | 156 | -138 | 47.54 | Amy P/Red | 229 | 124 | -105 | 45.85 | Phil/Red | 331 | 180 | -151 | 45.62 | Michelle/Pink | 242 | 132 | -110 | 45.50 | Amy C/Purple | 239 | 135 | -104 | 43.51 | Ed/Orange | 335 | 196 | -139 | 41.49 | Vicky/Brown | 246 | 145 | -101 | 41.06 | Renee/Pink | 267 | 161 | -106 | 39.70 | Brady/Brown | 341 | 224 | -117 | 34.31 | Shellay/Purple | 216 | 142 | -74 | 34.26 | Jerry/Yellow | 380 | 265 | -115 | 30.26 | Stacey/Green | 221 | 156 | -65 | 29.41 | Coleen/Yellow | 218 | 154 | -64 | 29.36 | Tom/Grey | 314 | 236 | -78 | 24.84 | LT/Grey | 357 | 270 | -87 | 24.37 | Adam/Green | 340 | 260 | -80 | 23.53 | And thus, the viewer votes cost Ed and Heba $250,000 since Heba would have been the BL. And that vote cost Amy P $100,000.

Happy for Michelle!!!! Love her win!! Yep, Karma lost Heba/Ed $150,000 since Heba would have been BL, but sorry it lost Amy P $100,000 since she would have won that if Heba had won the viewer vote.

I agree, Jimmer, it was wonderful to see the change in Jerry. Michelle looks amazing and healthy. I thought Shellay and Amy P looked like they went a bit too far, or too fast, not that I blame them with that prize. I think being the moms, it was just a bit too much loss. Renee and Michelle both look wonderful and healthy. Stacey did a great job, especially since so much of it was on her own. Vicky looked good, but it seems to take more effort for her to lose, so hopefully she will find ways to maintain without losing all time with her kids.

I loved that America showed Heba. Why wouldn't the producers have put a carpet so no one would slip and fall coming out?? Bizarre. Everyone looked great! I'm so happy for Michelle.

Actually, as much as I was not fond of a lot of them in the season. I am so happy that everyone lost as much weight as they did. I am happy for Heba and Michelle because if both of them lost it, then both of them deserved it. Those two look the most different (plus Phil) they looked beautiful. Everyone looked great, and though I'm sure I said some nasty things about Vicky and Brady, I hope all of them including those two keep the weight off and do continue to live a healthier life. I will not wish anyone to gain their weight back, including Vicky. They were given an opportunity of a lifetime, and I hope all of them continue to stay healthy and fit. Can't wait for next season. I'm glad Jillian is still there.

I am so happy Michelle won!! They all looked amazing. My only complaint .. other than the slippery floor .. is that Heba could have used a better bra. Was it me or did the 'girls' look a little low??

I loved the winner of this season's Biggest Loser. I am a bit concerned after watching the preview for next season. A 19 year old who weighs over 400 pounds? The most concerning was the preview of the older gentleman passing out and hearing someone ask in the background if he was breathing. He looked dead as he was falling! NBC wouldn't show it if he really died, would they? I hope not. Funny from last night. My husband walked in from Christmas shopping to say Allison looked like she needed to go on the show, she had gained so much weight. I then informed him that she was very pregnant, and that is where the "weight gain" came from. I then talked to my sister-in-law who mentioned Allison looked like she had gained weight. I also told her about the pregnancy. The way NBC was showing her on TV I guess contributed to the confusion, but I thought it was funny.

Hey, I noticed the trouble with the girls on Heba, too. I wish they would have called out Vicky and Heba on their behavior, or let them explain themselves at least. I'm so glad Michelle won.

Few observations: Heba looked genuinely angry that America did not vote for her. That surprised me, am I the only one? I guess I thought they would have spent time online (or their family) and would have known what the internet public was saying and been half-way prepared for the result. I HATE(!!!) it that every season they spend two hours dragging out the weigh-ins then announce the winner and have closing credits 30 seconds later. I would prefer they take a bit from Survivor..... 30 minutes weighing in the first group then 30 minutes chatting about the process then weigh-in the final three and another 30 minutes chatting to them as well. I don't really need to see the videos from the ranch again... I WATCHED THE SHOW!! LOL I want to see what (for example) Vicky thinks about how she was portrayed. I want to hear what some of them think about comments that were made about them and that they only found out about at home. Would also like to see more input from Bob and Jillian. LOL About Heba's missing bra, ITA

I didn't care for Heba's dress. The sides made her look bigger in the hips. I thought it was interesting that she looked mad about America's vote. Has she not googled herself or Biggest Loser? As for the format of the show, the clips should have been taken out. We've all seen the show and it was a waste of time. I wanted to see more at home videos and interviews with the cast. I wanted to hear Vicky back peddle and claim bad editing, something. Yeesh. Michelle should have been able to say at least a full sentence after all the confetti fell. The format needs serious tweaking. Everyone looked great!!!!

My only problem last night was why Michelle's video of her homecoming and stuff had to have a FREAKING COMMERCIAL for Subway in it? Oh my Lord...geez! Oh yea, and the fact that they didn't do anything with the floor during the first commercial after Heba almost busted her ass.

I rewatched the show and did the calculations - because I was curious - What team would have won if they took both weight losses and came up with the total percentage of weight lost: 1. 45.71% - Phil and Amy (YEAH PHIL & AMY!) 2. 44.04% - Heba & Ed 3. 42.44% - Renee & Michelle 4. 39.12% - Shellay & Amy C 5. 37.13% - Brady & Vicky 6. 29.93% - Jerry & Colleen 7. 25.85% - Adam & Stacy 8. 24.59% - Tom & LT It surprises me that Vicky was on the campus the entire time and Brady lasted for many weeks and they end up just above the teams that left first...

Need, thank you for running those numbers. I was curious also about who would have won if they did not form teams, but rather competed as families for the entire time. As can be seen from Need's chart, and as I remember the events in general, I think Phil and Amy got screwed! They were split up only because Heba decided the teams, then were treated rudely by Vicky and Heba, and finally came oh-so-close to winning the $100,000. They worked so hard (Phil to the point of puking on one show), and didn't win anything ( Or, did they win a trip?). I feel bad for them. Msbullwnkl, I thought exactly the same thing that your husband did about Allison, but I noticed it about 3 shows ago. It must be a guy thing.

I was so happy that Heba did not win. I'm also glad someone put up in here what the percentages were. They really did lose out on a lot more money. I was really happy that Michelle won. Not that she lost a lot of weight but she looks healthy!

NO Lots, Michelle needed to lose 100 pounds to win and she lost 110 so had quite the safety margin.

Very interesting. Top three I totally understand since AI does coke videos during their shows and Extreme runs to Sears all the time, lol. Weird that only one show is not a reality or game show though. I don't watch any of the other shows but HK and KN, which must do them nonchantly because I really never noticed unless it's a can of something sitting somewhere.

I am so glad that Michelle won this season and that Vicki didn't win anything! I thought the game play this year was awful and very nasty. I hope they get some kind of handle on it next year, although I'm not sure how they would do that. Maybe they need to screen the contestants better?
