week 12 Aftermath of booting of Renee: We see Michelle and the three remaining blues, quiet. Michelle says her mom is gone. Michelle IS glas she'll be there for the final week, but is, literally, all alone. She's crying. Heba, Ed and Vicky in Ed and Heba's room, gleefully jump on the bed and grin and congratulate each other, screeching Final FOUR!! Vicky smilingly tells us that after the elimination the blue team was feeling ecstatic, totally awesome. She can see the prize at the end of the tunnel. Heba punches the palm of her hand and says she cannot wait for family to hear that she and Ed made it, last family in the competition. The three hug and say "we're in the finals". Ed tells us it was his third or fourth time to be under the yellow line and that sucks, thank god he had his wife and Vicky on his side. Heba crows "we're not leaving until cameras wrap" Tells us she will kick some "serious ass". Vicky tells us it all comes into this next final weigh in and she's willing to do anything it takes to make it. Jillian meets up with lonely Michelle, hugs and awws exchanged. Jillian says it is hard to see Renee gone, but Michelle has to stand oon her own two feet. Tells Michelle she's not alone, her mom is totally with her and so am I. So much of life is like that, not what I planned, but stay open and move into that uncomfortable open space.. Jillian tells us that when Michelle comes through this, no matter what happens, she can come through anything. (Could this be Jillian's last BL client? ) Bob meets blues and high-fives Ed and grins Heba seal claps and Vicky tells Bob he has three people left and they will make sure it stays that way. Bob says this season has been all about playing this game but with one week left they are going to start playing MY game. Bob says some people have won playing the game.. like Ryan season one.. won the game and today that man weighs as much as he did when he first walked into this house and that scares me. He didn't LEARN anything. He wants Vicky to be different. What have you learned? Seriously. Vicky gives the party line. Bob asks if she learned anything about herself? NOPE. Bob is concerned. Not going to be easy. She's been thinking so much GAME. What's going to stop you from gaining it all back. Bob tells us he is worried about Vicky. Coming up.. Allison surprises the final four with a Special Delivery. It is a box that says.. um.. "Special Delivery". And at the weigh in, a shocker.. "I have one more thing to tell you." We see Jillian working Michelle in the gym. Jillian really wants a black team member in the finale. Michelle says she's a little bit empowered to be the last remaining black team member. Hopes she can come out on top. We see Vicky on the treadmill, talking about how from the beginning she was the slowest person here (really???? Slower than Coleen's dad?) She weeps and says it is gonna happen. Heba says 12 weeks ago she fellt a lot of fear, in much better place now. Wants nothing more than to be the BL. Ed talks about how he was, pre-diabetic, fatty liver, very proud of himself. I deserve to be here. Bob pep-talking Ed.. 85 pounds and he went home. Jillian walks the mountain from the first challenge with Michelle. They talk of empowerment. Michelle feels great.Michelle feels so strong now. Not going to let life pass her by. Blue team meets with Bob for him to cook for them. How he eats. Veggies, salads, fish. Use sprays, not oils. Pushes Mrs. Dash. Vicky says they usually eat out, fast food. Bob shows her some broccoli, says do you even know what that is. Vicky says they just don't eat veggies. Vicky tells us that bob thinks Heba and Ed will be just fine but he's sure she will become a blimp.. Vicky says she'll have to start with potatoes at home, no veggies. She doesn't like broccoli. She makes a face. Alli has a big box "Special Delivery". I put something together, leave you with one thought. You have to know where you have been to know where you are going. Good night. They are afraid of what is in there. Is it before pics, snacks they used to eat. OMG.. goes to commercial for a Brita plug from Alli. Filter for Good program. Pledges 100 million bottles saved. Back.. they all gasp.. it is clothes. Their old huge clothing. Vicky has huge scrubs, Heba has a giant dress amd some big slacks. Michelle has a dress. Ed has a shirt (that doesn't look THAT big on him!) He says it was like wearing a parachute. Heba suggests that they burn all the stuff. (So they ignore the ideas of pollution or that someone might be able to use the clothing and there go the flames.) Heba says they need to make a pact not to wear those clothes again, but also not to gain the weight back. Challenge with Alli: Race track. Alli leans on a race car. Vicky says she figures she'd be pushing, pulling or eating the race car. Heba doesn't want to run around the gigantic race track. Welcome to your final challenge. Memories and experiences along this journey. Vicky weighed 246lb. Michelle 242lb, Heba, 294lb and Ed, 335lb. In tonight's challenge, proving how far you have come. Every pound that you fought to lose you have to shed for one last time. They will be loaded down with the lost pounds and run. And then last chance to secure a spot in the finale. Most crucial weigh-in yet. Start off weighing what you did on the first day. Eleven weights. Eleven pit-stops, one for each week on the ranch. At each pit stop, you will remove the corresponding weight that you lost that week. First person to remove all weights and cross finish line, wins. Ed wants to win, not be whupped up by a bunch of girls. Heba hates to be Heba from week one. The winner will receive the Biggest Loser Meal Plan for self and family. Vicky smirks (maybe there is broccoli in that plan), delivered right to your door. Vicky says that would be so good to win, not think about it from now to the finale. Maybe they just win until then. But they ALSO get $10,000. Heba points out that they are 50% of the people left so have a good chance to win. They strap on the various weights. Vicky says it was immediate pain, knees and back hurt. Michelle felt suffocated. They start running.. lol, or sort of running. Ed out to a fast start. Michelle thought wow, he has really long legs and I have really short ones. Michelle after him, Heba walking fast, Vicky walking slowly. Ed dumps 17lb (1) Michelle 17 (10 Heba 12 lb Ed 9lb (2) Vicky 19 (1) Michelle second stop, then Heba. Heba hopes Ed can win. Vicky getting faster, she says. Ed is sweating. He's pretty far ahead. Michelle behind him. Vicky lapped by Ed. Vicky lapped by Michelle. Alli says Michelle's catching up (hmm, not so much) Michelle dumps 10lb for week 10, speeds up. Ed is now free of all the weight, says this is mine. Michelle at end too. (looks like Ed is a sure winner, thought) And of course, Ed wins, which makes Heba happy. pfft. Michelle done, Heba finally running, screeches and hugs Ed. And here's Vicky also jogging. They are all happy, Heba and Ed hug her. (Well, Vicky could have voted Ed out and didn't.. too bad) Last Chance workouts Jillian meets with Michelle to see her pre-race video clips and other clips from early workouts and the show. Jillian and Michelle both crying. Bob meets with Vicky for her videos. By the end Bob says Vicky will be fine, she gets it. Ed and Heba meet with Bob together for their videos. Heba says they are 2/3 of the top three. Coming up, the weigh in to decide who is in the finale. Will Michelle come through for the black team or will it be all blue? Last last chance workout says Bob. Michelle says "me against the world". Jillian tells her she is in control of everything. Ed says the blue team feels good about being in control. If Michelle wins, Jillian wins and that's just not what we want. Vicky and Heba each tell us how competitive they are. Bob working them hard. Jillian too, but seems more with balance in some ways. Weigh-in: Michelle says three girls, one guy.. three blue, one black. If I should fall below, I'm going home tonight. Vicky is sure she has one of the two two spots. Bob wants all blue at end. Heba things she deserves it more than anyone. Jillian says they are underdogs. Ed and Heba have LOTS to lose and Vicky had a very small number last time, so they should have a lock. Ed says blue team has the numbers to dominate. Jillian has had her heyday and this is the year of the Bobby. Alli says this is your final weigh in on campus. 101 days, final four. Stay above the yellow line and you are guaranteed a spot in the final and a chance at the prize. Fall below and you may live with one of the toughest disappointments: making it this far and not competing in the finale. Vicky up first: Bob says she has been pushing herself, expects a big number. Vicky can just taste being in the finale. (she looks really small!) Last week she weighed 176. Current weight is 170, down 7lb Vicky worries that it won't be enough Heba is next. she loses 7lb, 210lb. Not enough to beat Vicky she notes. Prefers not to fall with her husband. Ed is up next. In order to beat Heba and guarantee a spot above the yellow line, have to have lost more than 8lb. Michelle says because Ed lost so little last week, he has the potential to cream them all, be top dog. Ed GAINS 2lb! Bob says this SUCKS. Ed says glad it wasn't five pounds. Bob tells us it is obvious that there is game play involved. Ed will do everything he can do to give Heba what she wants, to be a finalist in the Biggest Loser. Definitely below the yellow line and vulnerable. Vicky is definitely in the final two. Michelle hugs Vicky. Vicky feels awesome. Heba still in danger. All comes down to Michelle. In order to be safe she has to have lost more than 5lb this week. Michelle says last black team member left. She weighs (and we see Jillian cover her eyes and go to commercial) Back from commercial, Michelle says she is bracing for the worst. Heba says if Michelle falls below the yellow line they will vote her off. Jillian can hear her heart. 162!!! 9 pounds lost! Michelle laughs, Heba rolls her eyes, Ed winces, Jillian is stoked and they hug. Michelle says we got to the finals. Jillian says we have been fighting for our lives. Michelle, biggest loser for week. Vicky and Michelle guaranteed in final two. Alli says hard to choose between husband and wife. And I have one final thing. Michelle says please don't pull the carpet out from under me.. America will be making this decision. Heba shakes her head. Ed looks sick. Heba says now that I'm not a real finalist maybe I'll go home and find out that America picked me and blow them out of the water. Ed pleads for herself and Ed pleads for Heba. Heba says she worked harder and longer than anyone. He wants it more for her than for himself. She says she will win if we pick her.

Heba says Bob made her believe she could do it. Ed and Bob talk. Ed got eliminated but it didn't stop him. Jillian meets with Michelle, talks of challenges, etc. Guess they are saving Vicky for last to show us how she's changed? Bob talks to Vicky and how proud she must be and how she always said she'd make it to finals. Work not done yet. Vicky says all the people watching thinking they can't do it.. I did it (lol.. I wouldn't want to do it her way). Bob is stoked. Vicky, Heba and Ed talk.. Heba hates being under that line. Vicky says Heba will be back and Vicky will giver her a run for the money. Ed and Heba leave in limo. Michelle is all bubbly, packing.. gets in her limo. And of course Vicky.. At Home Vicky goes to school with her kid, Ed and Heba meet a huge group and all of Michelle's group has pink shirts on. Phone in or go to NBC.com. Final three will be revealed in the first 5 minutes of the show.

I'm voting 10 times online for Ed too. Payback for Heba joining in with Vicky in being a b*tch to Phil earlier in the season. Too bad Ed tanked this week since I'd have loved to vote against Vicky. If Ed didn't tank it I'm guessing both he and his wife would have made the F3 with Vicky being the one left out of the finale. I can't believe the selfishness in Heba in asking people to vote to keep her versus her husband while her husband does all that he can to sacrifice himself for her. I wish we could eliminate both Heba & Vicky and just have a final two of Michelle and Ed. I'll consider this a very good season only if Michelle wins!

I voted for Ed. I wish it was a vote against Vicky though. Bob was right the first time, she doesn't get it and I can't imagine she'll be successful.

So next week is the finale and it's only then that the final four discover who are the final three. So Heba and Ed will both have spent the last three months working as if they were the one who wins the vote. Wonder if it will have made a difference that they think it's Heba going for the big prize? Wonder if Ed will not have pushed himself 100% and instead put all his effort towards supporting his wife only to have that backfire on them both.

Bob mentioned that there was gameplay involved with Ed gaining 2 pounds. I really find that hard to believe. Who wouldn't want to have a two out of three shot at winning the main prize? Why would Ed gain 2 pounds just to be put below the yellow line? Is there so much greed between Ed and Heba that they wanted one as a final, and the other at home trying to win the home challenge? I wonder if they would have did that if they hadn't won the meals at home until the finale. Looking at the videos they showed of when they first came in there, I was surprised at how different Heba looks in the face now! I think if she stays, she will have a pretty good chance winning the whole thing. Michelle always looked gorgeous even before she came in, but Heba in the face has made the most drastic change IMO. Though she did come out of that makeover with a really nice hair cut. She looks like a whole other person. Heba and Ed have been growing on me the past couple of episodes. I think they are a nice couple with a good sense of humor. What she did to Phil though will be her downfall, and I am still a little dumbfounded on why she did what she did, getting so pissed about some peanut butter cups. I think they all 'get' it except for Vicki. I bet money that she will gain all her weight back and then some a year after the finale. How funny that they spoke of Brady being the picky eater and Vicki is just the same. What do you mean, your kids don't know what broccoli is, unless they might have learned it in school?? WTH?

I voted Ed too. I knew when he was saying vote for Heba, and Heba was saying "mememe" that peeps would most likely vote Ed. I also am hopeful he will not do as well as MICHELLE! Zgoodgirl, I think Ed thought he could do water weight and blue team would have control of voting out Michelle. They didn't count on her being the top loser. I know this will sound terrible, but Vicky is the first person I've ever thought I hope the audience boos. Bad me, I know, but she is just mean.

I just realized that even if heba doesn't get into final 3, she might win the other prize because didn't she and ed get that food reward of pre packaged food? that gives them both a huge advantage! I hope michelle can pull it off and maybe gillian has been helping her! GO MICHELLE!

I just came here this morning to see if anyone else felt like me.... my IMMEDIATE reaction to Heba/Ed was to pick up my phone and vote for Ed. Usually I just blow it off, or think "Hey, I'll vote online tomorrow". But no. I actually got out of bed and got my phone to vote. The first post I saw was Ketchups "Voted 41 times for Ed" Thank you for making my day. Go Michelle!! Phil or Amy for the at home winner. Actually, I will be happy with any at home winner as long as it isn't Brady or Heba/Ed. I'm also a tiny bit mad at Amy for not voting out Vicky when she had the chance, but she was heavily influenced by Bob.

I was thinking Heba/Ed will win simply because Michelle and Vicky don't have a lot of weight left to lose. But I was just checking the stats and Michelle might actually be in a great position. Ed is 6'3" and (as of last night's show) weighs 252 lbs. He could lose another 60 pounds and not be hurting. Heba is 5'10" and weighs 210. Goal weight could be as low as 150 and still be healthy so 50/60 pounds. Vicky is 5'6" and weighs 170. Goal weight for her should not be less then 130 meaning 40 pounds left to lose. Michelle is 5'3" and 162 lbs so goal around 115? Meaning 47 lbs left. So the women are in *about* the same boat with how much they have left to potentially lose but when you look at their starting weights (Vicky 246, Michelle 242, Heba 294) only Michelle could lose MORE than 50% of her starting weight and still be healthy. Even Ed can't match that (started at 334 so would have to weigh in the 160's at 6'3")

Ed did water log himself .. the blue team figured that it would be Ed and Michelle below the yellow line and that they would vote Michelle out.. after all .. that "black" team can't pull the numbers like they can! LOL! My 10 email votes went to ED!

If someone can put this in a chart form: Name: Vicky / Ed / Heba / Michelle Starting Weight: 246 / 335 / 294 / 242 Weight leaving Campus: 170 / 252 / 217 / 162 40% weight goal: 148 / 201 / 176 / 145 40% goal pounds left to lose: 22 / 52 / 41 / 17 50% weight goal: 123 / 168 / 147 / 121 50% goal pounds left to lose: 47 / 84 / 70 / 41 Now past winners have lost almost if not 50% of their starting weight - Even with Heba and Ed having that meal plan... I think Michelle has the best chance at getting close to that 50% .. I think the others will be closer to their 40% weight loss ... No telling what Vicky will do - I don't know if it was an act or not that she detests vegetables that much..}

I just hope Michelle gets great support. Vicky has Brady at home who has the same training, Ed and Heba have each other AND the prepackaged meals, but Michelle doesn't live with her mom, so it will be harder to get her support, unfortunately. But hopefully she'll do very well.. Seems like Renee had reported a loss of 95 lb I'd love for Michelle to win and for Renee, Coleen or several others to be in the running for the home prize. Heba and Ed won quite a bit already, IMO, and I don't like the gamesmanship and the ugliness toward Phil AND I didn't like the constant whining about "losing" Ed, when he was one of the ONLY people eliminated simply because he didn't lose any weight that week and put himself and Heba in jeopardy and it was their choice that he would go home. He wasn't gamed out or voted out, nothing was unfair, he just didn't lose any weight.

I don't think Vicky stands a chance. Look at the chart... to lose 50% she has to get down to 123 lbs, that's fairly extreme for someone who is 5'6" tall. Michelle on the other hand is only 5'3" and 121 lbs is a great weight for that height. Heba COULD be competition but look how much more weight she would have to lose in the same time frame and Ed is in the same position as Vicky.. for him to lose 50% he would have to starve himself down to 168 lbs on a 6'3" frame. Winner is by % not by pounds.

I think Vicky will starve herself, use laxatives and anything else for that period of time to try and win the money. I am so wanting Michelle to win and either her mom, Amy, the young blond hair girl or the first couple eliminated to win the $100,000.

I can't remember how long they're at home b/4 the finale. Seems like it was 3 months & if that's so - anything could happen with this group. I don't wish serious health damaging tactics on any of them but, I too wouldn't put anything past Vicky.
