Kellsma, you are right. Koli was above Michael in percentage. I voted for him, but I was pretty sure Daris was going to make it into the finals. Koli looked like he didn't want to be there after his weigh-in.

Michael was my favorite contestant, and I'm so happy for him. I hope he keeps going, he and his mother look wonderful.

Yep the voters lost Koli $150,000 and lost Daris $100,000. Koli would have been Biggest Loser and Daris would still have beaten Darrell for At home loser.

Alli shows final four as they used to be.. she's LIVE in a red dress.

And for the 80 millionth time we see them stepping on scales in front of their communities.

We see the final four shrink.

We see all the angst of the season and oh no Melissa.

Over 2500 pounds lost.

Michael heaviest ever on ranch.

Ashley, wants dad to be proud.

Daris, never had a girlfriend

Koli, over 400 pounds, never believed he would find love.

Heaviest man and woman are in final two.

Koli and Daris voted on for third member of final three.

Alli says the 19 will weigh in for at home prize and then final three..

Who will be in final three, Daris or Koli?

We see the New Daris, who hugs but does not kiss Alli. Nice haircut, too. And he has a girlfriend, Heather. He is very happy.

And Koli comes out, in strange pink pants, giving what must be Samoan war cries.

His outfit looks like , uh.. well.. interesting. Dark rose pants, white shirt with windowpane pattern, gray jacket, navy blue pocket square with white dots, Pink two tone tie and boat shoes? Not sure on the shoes.

Pants a bit short; tie a bit long.

and he shaved his head.. very short hair, not sure what Tc will rule on that... not shiny bald just very short hair.. very short.

OK.. and now, the results of our voting..

Winner of America's vote is: Daris.

Alli congratulates Daris. C=1

Round of applause, Danny, Bill and Erik, who are back.. Erik went to BL resort, lost 150 pounds.

And we'll see Shay to see what she won from Subway.

Shay's still a big girl but wow!! You can see she'll need to deal with lots of skin, just from her knee area.

Shay will now weigh in.

From 304 at the last finale, she is now.. 252, a loss of 52 more pounds. She gets $52,000, check presented by Jared. The check is left intentionally blank. They have a new challenge.. Shay and Jared will complete a marathon after more training. Free Subway breakfast and free Subway lunch. If they complete the marathon, Subway will double her check to $104,000. Shay will accept that challenge.. Since she started on BL, Shay has lost 224 pounds total.

Nineteen eliminated contestants and one will win the at home prize of $100,000.

We see Blue team Cherita and Victoria.. wearing blue dresses.

Sherry in a pink dress and Maria in purple? not black. Cherita looks great and did it all on her own. Off they go to weigh in.

And now, Bob and Jillian and it doesn't look like leather, unless that is leather trim on Jill's dress, lol. Jill most remembers in the pool with Maria and Bob remembers O'Neal walking up those stairs.

And now, first four weigh ins.

Maria is now in a white top and looks good.. guess she wisely chose not to wear a white dress earlier.

First up will be...

Cherita who was out first, her body giving up.

She started at 277 and now... she weighs 186, down 91 pounds 32.85% loss!

And all at home, says Alli.

Victoria will be up next. She started at 358 and now.. must lose more than 117 to be in first. Currently she is 222, down 136 pounds and she's in first now. 37.99% Congratulations! says Alli C=2

Sherry is up next.. a widow at 51 now ready for next chapter of her life. She started out at 218 and to be on top would have to lose more than 82 pounds. (she is 5'1", so possible). She weighs in at 1119, down 99 pounds! 45.41%!! Into first place she goes.

Maria is up now.. We see Jillian teach her to swim. She started at 281 pounds and to take the lead would have to lose over 127. She now weighs 167, down 114. Not first but impressive. 40.57%

Sherry remains in first for now.

All congratulates Maria on everything. C=3

Now we see four more reveals.. Patti, mom in purple, Stephanie, svelte in gold and black

Twin brothers James and John, looking pretty big in brown suits.

Alli mentions Stephanie finding someone special on the ranch and she admits to falling in love with SAM.

Off they go to change clothes..

Alli Congratulates all four of them C=4

We see Alli in a huge garden in an ad for Zyrtec, an ad about depression for Cymbalta, we see Jillian yelling in a promo for her new show.

Patti will weigh in now. She started out at 243, must lose more than 110 pounds. She is now 170, down 73 pounds. 30.04% Sherry is still on top.

Congratulations from Alli. C=5

Stephanie is up now and we see how she found love on campus. She had never been in love. Se see her kissing Sam.. she says she was chosen to save her mom's life, her life and meet Sam.

She started at 264, needs to have lost more than 119 to be on top. Now, she weighs 165, down 99 pounds (wow, looked like more to me but she is 5'8".. 37.5%. Sherry remains on top.

James is up now. He started at 485, (would have to lose more than 220), now weighs in at 357. Down 128 pounds and 26.39%

Sherry is still looking good (for now).

Alli says Congratulations, James. C=6

Twin John is up now. He started at 484 (we see him saying "I'm CURSED} and must lose more than 219 to beat Sherry) But his weight is 335, down 149, 30.79%

Congratulations, John! C=7

Sherry is almost half way to $100,000.

We see Melissa, whoa in red.., but still Melissa, and Lance in wine red. Migdalia in black and silver and Miggy in black, white and green and sporting a new hairdo and probably an old large tattoo on her back.

Alli and Melissa talk about the confrontations on the ranch and how much better Melissa and Lance are doing. Yadda yadda and she took ALL the talk time for all four of them. BOO.

Now the next four weigh ins.

Melissa (and we are subjected to too much Melissa coverage) started out at 233. She must lost more than 105 (and she sure may have).. she now weighs 143, down 90 pounds and 38.63% She shows muscles! At 5'6" she doesn't look like she should lose more, really.

She asks Bob if he believes her now. (drag her off with a hook, please)

Lance is up now. He started at 365. Would need to lose more than 165 to topple Sherry off the top. He weighs in at 237, down 128 pounds. 35.07% (rats.. not quite as much as his wife). He's happy.

Migdalia up now. She started at 265 and would have to lose over 120 to take the lead. She weighs in at 213, down 52 pounds, 19.62%.

Next Miggy weighs in. She started at 240. To take the lead she would have to lose more than 108 pounds. She weighs in at 149, down 91. 37.92%

Sherry says she is so surprised (what surprises me is that Sherry is beating all these folks so far and she looks great, not thin at all and some of them look like if they lost the weights Alli is quoting, they would be too thin. Hmm.

Sherry says no one thought the Pink team was very strong.. lol.

And now.. O'Neal, looking dapper in a suit and hat, Sunshine in a yellow dress, Darrell and Drea, in black.

Alli cannot believe how O'Neal BOUNDED down those stairs. He's stoked.

Sunny says he's a completely different person and she is SO proud of him..

O'Neal and Darrell shake hands, proud of their daughters.

Alli sends them off to change clothing. I think Sherry will be safe for now, but who knows. And of course there are others.

O'Neal is up first. He weighed 389 to start. To beat out Sherry, he'd have to lose more than 176. His weight is 230, down 159 pounds, 40.87%.

Sherry is still safe.

Congratulations, O'Neal C=8

Now Sunny is up. She started out weighing 275 pounds. To beat out Sherry she would have to lose more than 124 pounds. She weighs in at 161, down 114 pounds.. had Sherry worried there. 41.45%

Congratulations, Sunny. C=9

Darrell had big health issues. He weighed 413, needs to lose more than 187. Currently he weighs 224, down 189!!!!! Woohoo! He's in the lead for now. 45.76% (not that I minded Sherry being in the lead.)

Now Drea is up. She started at 298 and to beat her dad she'd have to lose more than 136 . Weighing in at 214, she lost 84 pounds. 28.19%. No challenge to dad. Congratulations, Drea. C=10

Now the serious competition, Cheryl, in shiny black dress, the all new SAM, looking great and Koli in that crazy outfit..

Alli talks to Sam about Stephanie.. he says big pictures and bright futures, both of them. Greatest thing of his life. Cheryl has a son in the finals. Cheryl says he turned from a boy to a man and is a man's man.

They are sent back to change clothes.

And here it is.. the promo for Jillian's new show, from both Jillian and Alli.

We get a sneak peak.

LOL! Alli asks Darrell what he thinks of his competition and he laughs and says he thinks this might be short-lived. Great sense of humor and great smile, too.

Cheryl is up first. She does look thin but kind of, well her new hairdo is sort of little old ladyish.

She started out weighing 227. To knock Darrell off, she would have to lose more than 103. She weighs 151, down 76 pounds. 33.48%. Not enough but clearly she is feeling great.

Congratulations, Cheryl C=11

And now..Sam will weigh in.. he started at 372 and would have to lose more than 170 pounds. He weighs in at 230, down 142 pounds, 38.17%. Not good enough. Darrell will be against just Koli now.

Congratulations, Sam C=12

Camera goes to Stephanie, but no proposal..

Up to Koli now and he looks sort of pensive.. dunno.. he WAS higher % than Darrell, last we saw him, so hopefully he didn't gain weight in the interim.

Koli started out weighing 403, so to beat Darrell, he must have lost more than 184 pounds.. since he was down 185 at F4, hopefully he didn't gain.

Back from commercial, the crowd chants "Koli Koli Koli"

Well, he sure did it up right.. He weighs 188 and lost 215 pounds! 53.35%. $100,000 winner. Koli is so happy, as is Sam.. Big hugs.. The crowd goes WILD!!

Alli is also happy. Says he has to be so proud. He just wants to go home with his family. No mention of Sunshine, by the way. And no congrats.. WTH?

Now the final three.. Daris is standing with Alli, still in his suit. they talk about his marathon time. He's up against the heaviest man and heaviest woman.

Her is the all-new Ashley. Looking GOOD.. well hey, maybe she did win!!

Pretty amazing, Ashley. hmm not quite so small next to Daris.

The makeup and hair are not good.. she looks older!

And now.. Michael.. .. lol.. all in black.. there's the leather jacket and a big honkin' belt buckle: a glittery skull .

He and Ashley hug and then he and Daris hug and then he goes for Alli and it almost looked like he was gonna kiss her but it would have been almost on the back of her neck..

Michael looks good.. maybe HE won.

He gets to choose the order, says youngest first, Daris, then beautiful Ashley and then Mike.

So back they go to change.

Daris is a gentleman and holds Ashley's hands coming down the stairs in her heels.

They are back. Mike has his white headband on! And he is holding one white rose..

OMG and once AGAIN we get to hear Daris make that speech about making the crowd proud and himself too and then about never having a girlfriend, wanting a wife and kids, etc.

And many more clips, including his fantastic marathon finish.

Daris started out weighing 346. He now weighs 178, down 168 pounds. 51.45%. So, he would have won the $100,000 had it gone the other way, though he didn't lose as high a percent as Koli. I'm sure Mike and Ashley were happy not to have Koli in final three, just in case.

Daris doesn't look to me like he should lose any more weight, unless it was part of a skin reduction procedure. She says Daris has set the bar high (what about Koli).

Ashley's story.. hard to get past her hard makeup job here. We see lots of the same ol' clips.

I think she had her teeth whitened or something..

She started at 374. Must lose more than 181 to beat Daris.

She weighs 181, down 183!! Yes indeed she is happy people voted Daris in! Ashley is at the top, waiting for Michael now. 48.93%.

Congratulations C=13

Hmm when Darrell took over from Sherry, she had disappeared by the time he came down the stairs.

This time, Alli has to tell Daris to leave so Ashley can stand with Alli to watch Mike weigh in.

Alli congratulates Ashley when she comes down the stairs. C=14

Now we get the background on Mike, biggest man ever, etc.

Alli asks what is with the flower.. aww, for his #1 inspiration and motivation, his mom. He jobs down the stairs to present the rose to Maria and jobs back up to the scale.

He says Ashley is strong and beautiful.

He started out at 526. To be the Biggest Loser, beating Ashley, he must have lost more than 257 pounds. You can see the wheels turning in Mike's head.. but hey if Koli was there he'd have to lose 280.. so Daris being in final three bought Mike a 23 pound advantage!

Hmm did this thing run over? Grr. It all comes down to this moment... blah blah..Alli, stop talking! And now she gets BOB to talk. Mike hurls off the headband, as if the weight was actually being done live..

Mike weighs in at 262, having lost 264 pounds. 50.19. Thanks to America, Mike is the Biggest Loser, Koli lost $150,000 and Daris lost $100,000. (I now, I'm bitter.. didn't mind it happening to Heba, but Koli deserved more)

Congratulations, Mike! C=15

Maria comes forward as the confetti flies. Migdalia hugs Mike and a bunch of Italians surround him. Lots of mingling.

I didn't see anyone plant a kiss on Alli.

Then another promo for Jillian's show and shamefully, we don't get to see Mike celebrate more, not that he cares!

It really is a great accomplishment for both Mike and Ashley since past "biggest evers" have not done well within a season. They have set the bar higher. Of course the first really big guy was younger and that was the excuse and he did make it up in another season.

At least Mike didn't whine that after losing so much, he & Ashley still need to lose more. Daris is yummy. All the still heavy wore black.

Poor Koli. He could have had his dream, the confetti raining down on him, if only he had remained humble and likeable. I didn't vote, but didn't think Daris deserved to go into the top three after gaining weight. But, he was a sweet guy that the viewers liked, whereas Koli became arrogant and cocky(despite his protestations to the contrary). To me, the arrogance continued when he burst through his wall-sized photo, yelling, "What? What?" Can you imagine the whooping if he won the $250K? He worked hard and I was shocked that he was below 200, but I hope he thinks about why he was denied the chance for the big prize by the viewing public. Otherwise, his new body probably won't make him as happy as he thinks.

Loved that Michael won, and was really impressed when I saw Darrell.

Hip Hip Hooray for the Losers! Another great season. I wish them all continued success. And a shout out to Bob and Jillian too...good work!

I couldn't watch the show, but wasn't the previous winner who gained back (a man who's name escapes me) suppose to be on to show? did they have a segment on him or mention him?

They very briefly focussed on him sitting in the front row Northstar. He isn't back to his BL weight but has lost a considerable amount and looked good.

Well, I missed when Shay was on. I know she is losing weight the right way, but I think if someone had offered me $1,000 per pound, I would have tried to lose more!

I think Koli was just nervous. Does anybody else wonder if he hadn't been at home with family and was still living elsewhere training?

Great show. I really wanted Koli to win and am disappointed. I didn't think he was cocky or arrogant at all. I have never had that impression of him. I think he has very typical masculine energy and that whooping was just that. Daris is just more quiet. (not that he is any less masculine than Koli)

Even though I am disappointed that Koli didn't win, I'm not extremely disappointed because I think all of them are so likable and deserved to win. (Really liked all of the last several people eliminated.)

One of my favorite moments was seeing O'Neal! He looked great! It is harder for older people to lose weight. I am so proud of him.

I'm looking forward to Jillian's new show.

They said it had only been 5 months since Shay was on the last finale...52 pounds is pretty good for 5 months for someone coping with being at home at the same time (just my opinion).

I thought they really tried to stretch the last 5 minutes of the show and I thought they kind of robbed us of hearing how Michael felt about his win. They announced him, the confetti flew and that was that! I too was thinking "shut up Allie!"

Koli deserved to lose simply because of that ugly suit. It didn't flatter him. If I had lost that much weight I would have worn something a lot tighter...LOL!

I haven't liked Koli since he instigated the mistrust between Ashley and Stephanie. Very happy for Micheal.

I still think Bob and Jillian owe Melissa a public apology for calling her a liar.

Wish Sam and Stephanie lots of happiness and hope they continue to support one another in their new healthy lifestyles....can you just imagine what it will be like if one of them fall off the wagon.......stresssssssss!!!!

When did the last BL end....that is how long Shay has had to loose weight. I thought it was long than 5 months.

Great job Sea!!!!! All season long!!!!!!!

Season 8 finale was 12/8/2009, so that's about 168 days or 5.6 months ago.
She averaged 2.16 pounds per week.
Not bad, but not great.
For $1000 a pound, I would have thought she would lose at least 1/2 a pound a day.
That would be $500 a day motivation.

So basically the next contestants are at the ranch while the finale for this season is airing...since last night they said Michael had lost the weight in 8 months?

I think Shay just has a very full life.. boyfriend husband and step kids, a job (imagine that!) and working out.

I just happened to get a little glossy supplement called Health Matters in our paper today (mostly articles and many ads for local businesses that are health related..

Anyway there is an article about Shay that was written before the finale of course.

It says she works out twice a day: first a kettle bell session with trainer Alysia Gadson, then a run or a bike ride or walk in the afternoon or evening with her family. She has a full-time job as a social worker and used publi appearances to share her story of perseverance.

She stresses that she is walking more and tells people they can get out and about and go for free and get the most phenomenal workout without a gym membership.

It sounds like she has made actual changes in her life and routines and is including the rest of the family and that's more likely to last a long time, and better than a crazy impossible routine to gain money.

I liked how quickly she joined up with the subway guy to plan on a marathon. It would be neat if she did the Orange County Marathon since it is local here (and for her too). I worked a water station this year with others from American Cancer Society and it was so much fun. We had music which the runners loved and late in the day a runner said we were the first music of the race, at mile 15!

Anyway it would be fun to be working the next race and cheer her on as she went by.

Yes, the magic of TV reality time. Just like they were home for 30 days since the last weigh-in, even though we saw them weigh-in just last week. We call it a week, but sometimes it is 10-14 days to generate huge weight losses. I would not even be surprised if some weeks are short to create drama with poor weight loss.

You can probably figure that most of the contestants are 5-10 pounds lighter on the day of the final weigh-in then they actually weigh a day or two later. Several past contestant have talked about minimal food and water combined with increased workouts and massive sweating to optimize their final weight. It probably contributes to may of them acting and looking "crazy" at the finally.

But Seamonkey, how does training for a marathon fit into her very full life?

She did fine, but she left a lot of money on the table. Seems like Subway is going out of their way to give her money. Good for her.

Gosh, I disliked Michael for all of his machinations long before Koli got strategic.

What is sheer irony is that Daris was basically used to give Michael the big money and it also robbed Daris of the $100,000 home prize.

The grim reality is the show is poorly designed. Daris lost $100,000 because the fans like him. Crazy.

Rox, Ali kept mentioning 7 months as the time frame last night and last season Danny mentioned he couldn't believe he lost XX lbs. in 7 months.

I read at another site that filming for the next season started mid-May.

If you follow Bob and Jillian on Twitter you see them talking about the new season already taping. Also Jillian talks about her new show while she was taping it.

Do Ashley and Daris get anything for coming in 2nd and 3rd? I've been trying to find the answer.

I found this at wiki: "The trainers are motivated to 'push' their individual contestants by a predetermined bonus structure, with the winning contestant's trainer taking home over $100,000."

I found a short interview with Michael link. He and Ashley are not dating, he is not dating anyone.
