I could never vote for Liz, no matter who she was up against. She's 49, and whines over and over about how old she is. This 51-year-old does not appreciate that attitude!

I agree Karuuna. Can you imagine how it makes this 68 year old feel? I lost 65 pounds without the benefit of BL. It took a year and a half and the only exercise I have is walking a half hour a day, but I haven't moaned and groaned the way that Liz does.

Bob, according to your info, it sounds like we vote as to who goes home. I wonder who our two choices will be. It it's between Liz/Amanda, from what I'm reading here, Amanda might stay and be in F3.

Guess this 63 year old is in the minority on Liz.. not that she doesn't irritate me at times, for sure, but Amanda seems to know she is different, voted in by the viewers, probably the most classically attractive, youngest among the young women. Whining or not it is still harder for someone Liz' age to lose and compete under the accelerated regime of BL. But maybe I hope Liz will blow past othres and be in final two and then hopefully others will also vote for the remaining guy over Amanda.. we'll see. I don't feel strongly against ANY of these four!! Thinking back to Tracey this season or Heba or Vicki .. these four are all fine with me.

Last season they sent the final 4 home for a week and brought them back for a final weigh-in. Ron and Mike (father and son) fell below the yellow line and America voted Mike into the final 3. I would guess it would be similar this year.

Actually last season they were sent home for 30 days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Biggest_Loser:_Couples_2
quote:Semifinal (Week 18) First aired May 5, 2009 After Filipe's elimination last week, Helen, Mike, Ron, and Tara are sent home for 30 days before they come back to the ranch for their penultimate weigh-i. They will also run a marathon and past season contestants including Jim Germanakos (Season 4 at-home winner), Bernie Salazar (Season 5 at-home winner), Heba Salama (Season 6 at-home winner), Ali Vincent (Season 5 winner), and Michelle Aguilar (Season 6 winner) give advice to the final four contestants. Tara finished the marathon first, coming in just under 5 hours. Helen finished second just under 6 hours. Mike finished third at around 9 hours having had to walk the entire way due to a hip problem incurred prior to the race. Ron had numerous medical issues while walking the marathon and finished at about 13 hours. During the weigh-in, Mike and Ron fell below the yellow line, and it was up to America to vote on who will would be in the final three. The results of this vote were announced during the live finale on May 12. America selected Mike to be in the final three. [edit] Finale (Week 19) Aired May 12, 2009. Mike was voted into the top three, eliminating his father Ron. Jerry won the $100,000 at-home prize with a total percentage of weight loss of 47.97%. He weighed in second out of nineteen eliminated contestants, preceded only by his wife, Estella. Helen won the competition, with the highest percentage of weight loss in Biggest Loser history: 54.47%. Mike came in a close second, and Tara was third. Helen was the first finalist weighed, and Tara was last. Tara won more challenges than any other contestant, and became a finalist without falling below the yellow line. Finally, two new people, Erinn and Amanda, were up for America's vote and a spot on the next season's cast; whichever one did not get the vote would be given special assistance by trainers, therapists, nutritionists, and doctors to lose weight at home. Amanda won the vote, which means that Erinn will get the at-home special assistance package. [edit] After the show Contestant Shanon Thomas was arrested after allegedly assaulting a male housemate on December 16, 2008 at her suburban Detroit home. According to the police report, Shanon is alleged to have "kicked open the door" to the man's basement apartment and "thrown flour in his face". The dispute started after Thomas was angered by the loud volume of the man's television.[7] At the end of the Week 8 episode, contestant Dane Patterson is shown running and apparently finishing a marathon with his wife. News broke the day after the episode aired, when marathon participants of the Desert Classic Marathon in Arizona came forward to report that the couple had taken a ride in a van for part of the course.[8][9] NBC issued a public apology that acknowledged that the contestant had not run the entire distance as aired on their show.[6] Arizona Road Racers, the organizing body for the marathon, issued a statement on their website explaining that the Pattersons were not listed in the event results because they did not run the entire 26.2 miles.[10] Jillian Michaels told TV-Guide magazine that while filming the season she was investigated by the show's producer after contestant Filipe Fa accused her of 'doping' participants by providing them with drugs. "I was so furious, so disgusted. I felt so betrayed," Michaels claimed. The week-long inquiry cleared Michaels.[11] Daniel Wright participated as a contestant on the eighth season, The Biggest Loser: Second Chances.
I knew about the other post show stuff but hadn't heard about Filipe's accusation.. man.. Bob really had then mesmerized so that Jillian had to be the bad guy..

No, they still have to drop one more contestant. They have to run a marathon (half?) tonight, then two will qualify, and the audience chooses the third to go to the finals.

The show did not come on until 9 pm EST and lasted 2 hours. Liz and Amanda both lost 16 lbs., fell below the yellow line, and are up for the vote. Danny lost a whopping 59 lbs. and Rudy lost 43 lbs. They were home for 2 months. Danny is a handsome man.

But they went home, got visits from Bob or Jillian talked about their issues with family, etc. Trained for and then ran a marathon with lots of support. Rudy and Amanda went out ahead but very soon Rudy was ahead of Amanda (not all that far really) and Liz and Danny stuck together for the whole time, great encouragement for Danny from Liz when he was hurting. They had various people join them at different places, including former winners, friends/family and Bob, Alli, etc.. Have to say I was impressed with Liz and Danny sticking together and her lack of whining compared to Amanda who isn't even half her age. And was impressed with all four for the times they managed.. and for finishing. They got good encouragement, but they did the running and walking.. Weigh in Two with highest % loss in the finals. Two with lowest, below yellow line. America votes. Liz is up first. Started at 267; last weight 198, Now she is 182, down 16 pounds. Not what she was hoping for but she worked out every day. She has lost 85 pounds. Latest % is 8.08 loss. Amanda is up next and of course has to mention that the bottom two have to get votes from America and this brings back memories of her having to do that to get on the season. Doesn't want it to happen to her again. She was 186. To beat Liz she needs to have lost more than 15 pounds and she does. She loses 16. 8.6%. She is happy. Danny is up now. He was 288, down from 430 and now he must lost more than 24 pounds to guarantee being safe. He smiles and.. lol! No wonder he was confident. He lost 59 pounds and is now 229! 20.49% Down 201 pounds Everyone is impressed. He is one of four players to lose over 200 with BL and he has time to go, says Alli. He is in the finale and Liz is below the yellow line. And then there was Rudy.. He'll need to lose more than 25 pounds to be in final two. He started at 442 and last weighed in at 296. Now he is 253 down another 43 pounds. So predictably the two women who weren't the largest ever couldn't compete with two guys well over 400 to start. Rudy is safe with a loss of 14.53% So.. America chooses between Amanda and Liz.. and if TVCH is any guideline, Amanda is a shoo-in. They have to say goodbye to Bob and Jill again.. Liz mentions that she is, at 49, the oldest woman to ever be in the top 4 and if we vote her into the top 3 she will be the oldest ever in the top three (I think that was what she said..) and Amanda mentions being voted in previously and wanting our support again. === I hadn't realized what a low voice Rudy has until he said something after the weigh in!!

Danny lost 60 pounds in 60 days? How can he be doing that in a healthy way? Does he have a job?

Is it just me or do posts keep disapearing from this thread? It's a multiple time a day thing for me, the heading will show the latest post (for example right now it says Jimmer posted just 14 minutes ago) but when I come in here.. nothing new. This is the only thread I notice this happening in.

I think Liz looks and acts way older than 49. All she talks about is how old she is. She is my kid's age. If my kids moaned and groaned about age the way she does, I'd clobber them. I don't carry on about my age, aches and pains or problems the way she does and I'm 20 years older than she is. She is a Kvetch. That's a Yiddish word for someone who complains in an annoying way. I love, love, love Amanda. I think she is adorable and did feel the pressure of having been "chosen" by America. It's nice that she remembers how she got there and cares. I actively dislike both of the men. No one can beat them because they had so much more to lose. I know Danny will win, but I really do not like him at all. He and Liz belong as partners because they had their own little pity party the whole season.

KL you just made me think of the movie "Kenny" I don't really care which of them wins. Don't have strong feelings either way towards any of them. Looking more to the finale and seeing what some of the others have been up to.

LOL!! That Game sub thread has fooled me countless times into looking for disappearing posts!! Wow.. I feel so opposite.. last night on the run Amanda whimpered and whined the whole way.. she is SO young and the others have had more time to have bad knees and other joints, yet she was the biggest baby of the lot. Liz, who isn't THAT old and probably does look older than her age and seems to be living quite an isolated life in a marriage that doesn't seem too supportive.. is STILL the oldest one left, has come from almost NO support at home but remains determined to change and succeed and spent the whole race cheering on and upholding her partner Danny. I know she is doomed to be voted out this week by "us" and I know she has little chance of the home prize considering all the formerly huge people who have a chance to lose so much more, but she got my votes, such as they were. Amanda.. just ick. They guys.. I guess I like Danny more than I like Rudy and I don't dislike any of them. Even Amanda, while I don't like the whole "America's choice" theme that was pushed every single week, I'm happy to see her results and they are great, so far. But I see Liz as coming in with so much less family and support than the others and being of great support to Danny while keeping herself in it as well. And this season isn't going to bring any huge cheers from me about the winner.. some seasons produce great winners, some don't. I think the BL people would love to have Amanda win.. she's pretty, she was AC, she was given the pink colors of former winners.. the's the package for them. Hard to say if she could pull off the win with these two guys in there.

So no one else thought Danny looked odd somehow? His face and shoulders looking oddly out of proportion with his chest and belly? Mebbe it's just me.
