With the contestants that have gone into the fitness occupation, a number of them seem to work for 24 hour fitness. As long as it works for them, that's great.

I was surprised they didn't show Heba & Ed or Vicki's husband. As much as I hated vicki on the show, she has managed to keep off the weight and looks really good!

I hope they don't have that shiny 'slippery as ice' floor again, it's scary to watch the women try to walk on that floor in their heels!

LOL @ Alwayz. She actually looks terrible - drawn and scrawny.

I'm glad Tracey is out of the running too but she looks way healthier than Rebecca imo. Rebecca looks scary and I was so looking forward to seeing her. She had such a pretty face on the show. Why did she cut and bleach her hair? She looks so much older and her face is way scrawnier than Tracey's.

Dad's watching basketball so I will have to watch online tomorrow. Maybe I'll get to tune in before the winner is announced.

I don't like Rebecca's new look at all. She looked so much better with the longer softer darker hair. And was she ever hyper! Rather shocking and not in a good way.

Danny, Rudy and Amanda look very good. I'm happy with Danny winning and Rudy gave him a good run for it. Nice to see.

I agree about Rebecca, Jimmer. And I don't watch the show regularly. I didn't remember any contestant being "challenged" in any way, but she seemed to be tonight. She seemed unable to speak and not because of excitement.

I was rather impressed by how handsome Julio looked! Wow.

I was sad that Rudy didn't win. I really wanted him to!!! And could BL be anymore generic? I mean keeping Danny for last, everyone HAD to know he was going to win. Because then he's standing up there when the confetti shoots out and everything. They really need to switch up the weigh in order next year if they want it to be a surprise. Otherwise you always know the winner is the last person to weigh in.

Oh and I'm so glad I'm not the only one who hated Rebecca's look. Before I went to work tonight I told my sister (who had not seen the finale yet) "Oh and Rebecca changed her hair again! It looks terrible!" I LOVED her hair when she came to the show. I did NOT like it when they did the makeovers and cut it and gave her bangs and I REALLY don't like it blonde. I agree that she looked strung out or something. It never even occurred to me right away, but I also agree now that you mention it, Rslover, the hair and scrawny face ages her quite a lot. Just don't know what she is thinking.....

Two of final three are Rudy and Danny. Viewer call votes determined whether Amanda or Liz will round out the final three.

Recap of transformations.

Alli in red, looking GOOD!

First, results of viewer voting.

Amanda vs Liz

Amanda looks thin with more hair.. she looks TALLER!! First dress in years.

Liz comes out next. Never realized she had nine grandchildren. She looks good, too.. bit more covered up in her dress.. definitely not as small as Amanda. Both in really high heels. Alli talks about Liz wanting to go home very early on.

Liz could be oldest ever finalist.

Viewer's choice.. Amanda. And of course we have to hear about her being chosen twice.. bit of a speech from Amanda.. Alli reminds her to thank them.

Liz is ready to take on the other eliminated players. They walk off together (careful in those really high heels.. remember there have been some bad falls before.)


Now we see Antoine, looking hot, Alexandra in a gray dress and big smile, Sean in a sport coat, which her removes, and a silly hairstyle. Julio in a suit and tie and new mustache. Looks like Julio has lost significant weight..)

These four up on stage with Alli..

Sean and his wife had an adorable baby girl a month ago.. named her Jillian May. Alexandra and Antoine.. lol...found each other.. they say it really helped. Julio says he is a new man.

Off they go to change clothing.

Antoine also looks to have lost significantly.

Bob and Jillian come out now, dressed in black.. Whoa.. Jillian in black stiletto boots.

Bob says Shay spoke to America. Jillian says they have to continue to make their health a priority.

First weigh ins:

Alexandra Started at 309 pounds, out first. Now she weighs 218, down 91 pounds. 29.44%

Antoine Started at 367, out third. Now he weighs 215, down 153 pounds. 41.42% He moves into first place. Nice muscular arms, too.

Sean up now. He started at 444 pounds. Needs to have lost more than 183 pounds to go ahead. Nope.. lost 155, down to 289. 34.91% So far he's in second place.. Antoine still on top.

Next is Julio He started out at 407. Needs to lose more than 168 pounds to top Antoine. He now weighs 227, down 180 pounds! Whoa.. he didn't look THAT trim! 44.23% and he's in the lead.

Now we'll meet four more players.. to lots of cheers here comes Coach Mo.. looking good in a purple sweater. ?And Dina looking good and feeling sassy. Then we have Abby, also looking great. and Tracey has to be next.. she has lost lots, also in purple, and looking sort of unrecognizable.. (we see Bette Sue shaking her head). Looks tiny next to Abby, kind of a bit much?

These four go off to dress for weigh in. We go to commercial.

Back to Julio and Alli..

Coach Mo is up first. He started at 355, would have to have lost 157 pounds to be on top. He is down to 263, a loss of 92. 25.92% So he's in last so far. Julio still on top.

Next to weigh in is Dina, who started at 253 pounds. She has to lose more than 111 to be in contention. She weighs in at 174, down 79 pounds. 31.23% She's in fourth, but highest% for a woman, so far.

Abby next to weigh in. Her story still brings tears to my eyes.. and a standing ovation from the crowd. Starting at 247, she has to lose more than 109 to unseat Julio. She now weighs 147, down 100 pounds! Not quite enough, but awesome and she couldn't be happier. 40.49% makes her the biggest female loser, thus far.. She's in third place, behind Julio and Antoine.

And now we have Tracey and this should be interesting.. In the promo she looks really good but for the weigh in, kind of gaunt. She started out at 250, needs to lose more than 110 to pop to the top.. Now she weighs 132, down 118. She's in the lead! 47.20%

So Tracey, with manic grin, replaces Julio on stage with Alli.

Time to bring in Shay! Well she's still big, but looking good. Daniel in Orange sweater, Rebecca, unrecognizable as a blonde and looking like a contender to me. And Allen, with his cute grin. Alli of course has to mention Shay being the heaviest ever, etc. She says she knows her journey isn't over yet.

Dr Huizenga stands up talk to Daniel and Shay about their medical emergencies.. he says people their size have a one in ten chance of dying from bypass in the first year and they are to be congratulated. Shay has gained 13 years of life so far and Daniel 23 years.

Well, Shay's not going to win anything tonight, but she's well on her way..

We return from commercial to Tracey baring her teeth..

Shay started out at 476 pounds, would have to lose more than 224 pounds to beat Tracey for the top spot. She is down to 305, down 172 pounds! Not the top, but the audience loves her. 36.13% She's in fourth place, so far.

Tracey still well in the lead.

Next up is Daniel He started this season at 312 (454 originally) He has to lose more than 147 pounds to beat Tracey. He weighs in at 201, down 111 pounds, total of 253 lost in two seasons. 35.58% (two seasons: 55.73%. But not the winner.. of this comp). He moves into sixth place.

Tracey still on top.

Next up is Rebecca She started out at 279. Needs to lose more than 131 pounds. She now weighs in at 140, down 139 pounds.. she's in the lead with 49.82%.

Two more to go.. Rebecca now in the lead. (and wearing pink).

Now we have Allen who started at 325 and needs to lose more than 161 pounds. His current weight is 209, down 116. 35.69% Seventh place for now.

Looks like Rebecca will be the home loser.. but first we have Liz to the scales. She started out weighing 267 and would have to lose more than 133 pounds.

After the break.. also they tease that one contestant will get a big surprise.. will Antoine pop the question to Alexandra? Will Daniel reveal his relationship with Rebecca? Stay tuned!

Back to Liz.. she now weighs 176, down 91 pounds and not enough to win. 34.08%.

Rebecca wins the $100,000 at home prize! ?Could we have double pink? Rebecca jumps on Bob.. Bob and Jillian back on stage. She jumps on Sean, hugs Antoine..

Now the surprise.. ooh..

Shay come over here, says Alli. Didn't win the at home prize but you have inspired all.. your journey is not over. Our friends at Subway have an offer for you.. come back to season 9's finale. Bob and Jillian tell her on live television, we have a new fresh challenge. For every pound that you lose, Subway offers you $1000. OMG.. if she loses 100 more pounds that is $100,000. Shay's fiance starts to run up but is stopped. Shay says you will see Shay at 204.

And now, time for the first prize of 250,000

Here is Rudy, Danny and Amanda.

First we have the big surprise from Antoine and he calls over Alexandra, gets down on one knee and proposes! Sweet moment.. long kiss.. their moms embrace too..

Erinn who was not Americas's choice, lost 79 pounds on her own.

Guess we haven't actually seen Rudy and Danny yet, but here's Rudy, looking trim.... and Danny now joins Amanda and Rudy on stage.. and he also looks amazing..

He hugs Rudy and Amanda.. says no one recognizes him.. I can imagine why..

Next Season premieres January 5th..

Danny was biggest loser on the ranch so he determines the order of weigh in:

Amanda will go first. She started out the season at 250 pounds and is now down to 163, down 87 pounds. 34.8%. Rudy mentioned 120 days off the ranch which sounded like they had two more months at home after they did the final four weigh in.. so 7 pounds loss during that time isn't much, but IMO probably healthier loss than several of the women. She looks great.

Now Rudy will weigh in. He started out at 442 pounds. He has to lose more than 153 pounds. Considering he had lost 199 last time we saw him, this doesn't seem to be an issue for him.

He now weighs 208, down 234 pounds. 52.94%! He's on top, highest of everyone there, so far.

An finally, Danny has his turn. He stated at 430 and must lose more than 227 pounds. He now weighs in at 191, down 239! Danny is our Biggest Loser and winner of $250,000 55.58% loss.


(Now, will Liz forgive him for just saying Rudy was his best friend in the house?)

Not that they kept the trainers the whole time, but once again, Jillian was the trainer of the winner. Bob trained the home winner.

I didn't think Rebecca or Tracey looked good. Went a bit too far.

They let Danny choose the order and almost always the order chooser gets to go last.. I was happy for him.

I was pleased that they gave a great incentive to Shay and I hope she takes them to the cleaners!!

My opinion only but Tracey looked.... wrong. Too much muscle in too little an amount of time, I kept thinking steroids especially looking at her legs and her back. Either that or she is on some really unhealthy eating/workout routine. To be fair, I don't like her and that could be affecting my opinion. Rebecca didn't look great either but most of that was because of her hair and make-up. Am I the only one who though most of the women looked a decade older? Whoever did their make-up went way off on a tangent. Amanda, Rebecca, Tracey, Dina all looked like they did their makeup in the dark with a paint brush.
So happy for Shay, she looks fantastic already.
Danny... hubba, hubba. Adorable.

Just a quick comment on the winner going last and winning. The odds are a bit in their favor because the biggest loser on the ranch gets to pick the order and there is a likely chance that he or she will win. Doesn't always happen though. Most people were sure Tara would win last season but Helen won.

I agree that the makeup was over done on most of the women.

Add me to those who did not like Rebecca's new look and found her behavior hyper and odd. I was thinking some kind of stimulant/weight loss product? And that dress?! Oy.

Glad Danny won. And Shay's journey has been awesome!

Loved Shay and their offer to her!

I also thought Tracey looked like she had gone too far and looked older than she is.

I always say my fat keeps the wrinkles away :-)

I like Rebecca and was sad to see her with her blonde hair and the odd way about her last night. It was unsettling.

Yayy for Danny ... good for him!!

I thought the guy that won previously then gained all the weight back that Bob gave the challenge to was supposed to be at last nights show. Did I miss him or did I hear wrong?

Amanda clearly wasn't a favorite of mine, but she sure looked more healthy than Rebecca and Tracey.. actually Liz also didn't go in for the last minute crash, seemed to me.. so maybe they got something out of staying at the ranch longer and anyway they both lost a bunch and look good for their respective ages, compared to R and T. They both made me feel uncomfortable, especially Rebecca.

But they got their fourth female pink team win, hmm..

Rumor has it R&D are moving in together.
