BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Low Carb Final Biggest Loser - LIVE!!!

OK everybody, I am going to post LIVE updates on the final episode of the biggest loser - airing tonight in about a half hour - for those of you who can't get to a TV tonight. Feel free to chime in if you're watching the final show!!

I am figuring Ali is completely nervous right now, her heart pounding. I know mine would be if it was me!! The show is live

Bless you Lisa!

It has begun! They are talking about it being live, and the eliminated players compete for $100,000.

They're doing a flash backy thing where they talk about everybody who were competing.

OK, nationwide vote between Mark and Roger ... both are coming out on stage. Roger is coming out first - he's got a black velvet suit jacket on so it's hard to see exactly what he looks like. Now out comes Mark - pushing his way through his picture - he also has a suit on. Both guys look slim. OK wait Mark pushed aside his suit jacket sides to pose with his hands on his hips

millions voted - it came down to 100,000 vote difference. It is ...

ROGER!!!

OK now they're doing the remaining "left" players. They just walk through a door, they don't push through a big picture of themselves. There is a big image of them shown on the wall as they walk in so you can see the before and after though.

Many of them do look slimmer, but not nearly as slim as the finalists.

They stopped halfway through for a commercial, so we haven't seen the two women yet.

OK we're back! They're going through the remaining people who had been kicked off. The two brothers are giving each other big hugs. Paul was too ill to make the trip. He's at home rooting for Kelly.

They're picking on Mark for being a "cry-baby"!! That really bugs me - and he even sticks up for himself saying that's not fair! He talks about how he was wasting his opportunity by the time when he got kicked out - and that he wanted to focus more on himself mentally and emotionally. "There were reasons why he was as heavy as he was". He focused on that more on the second half. "I shed a lot of weight but I shed a lot of tears".

Now they're talking to Bernie. They ask him about the money - and he said it's more about being more healthy - for himself and for his family. "We've all won and we've all done that".

They're talking to Ali's mom. She says they're both nervous (she and Ali).

Curtis - for the reason. "to qualify for health insurance" - he needed to be 238 pounds.

The finalists were gone for 4 1/2 months.

They're showing the videos now of the four finalists when they went home from the campus.

We haven't seen Ali in person yet - but they're doing a lot video of her coming home to her family and crying. Now they're showing Kelly coming home and all the people cheering for her.

See it's OK for the women to all cry! How come men can't cry?

OK now we're showing the guys coming home. "There's something more alive about how he is, and how he moves" - "this is going to add *years* onto his life".

Another commercial before the weigh-in where they check all the "sent home" people to see who lost the most for $100,000.

OK we're bringing out the trainers - They look snazzy! Bob is in a suit and Gillian is in a black dress. They're going through and giving hugs to everybody. He now has his arm around her waist

They're showing little videos of each person first - so this is going to take a while

267lb -> 213lb (-54) = 20.22%
