I like the ones that got eliminated better than the ones staying...although I want to see Ada succeed. She has had it rough being blamed for her brother's death when she was just 3 years at the time! crazy family. I hope she does well and proves to herself how strong she is

Elizabeth was originally "eliminated" when she collapsed at the step challenge. Jillian "saved" her later, and that's why her shirt is a different color than Brendan's. Aaron was the other "saved" contestant.

I didn't get to see this last week show yet. I usually watch it on Fast pass tv, as someone suggested to me on here, because i work at that time. This wee it isn't allowing me to download and watch it...grr!

I am pissed that most of the girls are gone. I really want Ada to win now. Guys generally lose weight fast than girls overall, so how they made the game, wasn't fair for the girls, especially when the girls were paired up like that. Frado gets on my damn nerves..lol.

I just saw a commercial for this week... they have the makeover episode on Tuesday and a "where are they now' episode on Wednesday, where they bring back one winner who has gained their weight back. We've seen Eric, I wonder if it's him or someone else? I saw Alli briefly and she still looks great!

I thought it was great that they gave the car to Patrick last night. I was really wanting to see Frado go home at last, so I was surprised to see Lisa go, since she was less of a threat.

Thoughts on Where Are They Now....

Mark Kruger is still seriously hot. Seriously.

Tara's still got it. Although I think Ali goofed and called her a Season 5 finalist when she was in Season 7.

Cool thing the Morellis are doing with their camp. Good for the Ronfather for sticking to it. Mike has actually bulked up a bit (building muscle) since this was taped. He remarked on his FB page that some lady made a remark to him about his gaining weight and isn't he disappointed in himself. Max is doing great!

Wonder why Michelle was MIA from the Winners' Dinner.

So...Bernie didn't marry the girlfriend he had at home while he was on the show...

Wish they'd make the older seasons available online. I'd like to see some of the earliest seasons.

Oh, and Mark is still seriously hot.

I thought Sione was HOT! Tara still rocks!!!!!!!! Ali still looks gorgeous! Being on TBL really is keeping alot of them accountable. I'm sure if I went on the show I would feel the need to maintain the weight loss all my life cause everybody is watching you. That could be a great thing! I have no desire to go on the show but I love watching it! Wish they would show marathons like they used to on TLC and Bravo!

I didn't see the 'where are they now' because I hadn't watched the last few seasons of biggest loser.

I am watching this season. It was really touching to see them give the car to Patrick. He can definitely use it with two young ones.
I really loved the makeovers! They all looked so hot! I wanted Frado to go home instead of Lisa, but I wasn't surprised that she would have went home. It sucked that she didn't lose any weight this past week.
I've really grown to like Ada, and I'm routing for her to win.

does anyone else have someone they want to win?

Ada is pretty much the most sypathetic person there. I would have been happy with either fredo or lisa going home.

I noticed the same thing with some of them...either put on a little weight or started bulking up. Not really sure. maybe it just seems like they're bigger than they were at the finale since some of them were smaller than they maybe should have been or were able to maintain at that time.

I'm really rooting for Ada. She has awesome physical stamina! She is so strong and it makes me so sad thinking about the lack fo family support that she receives. I really hope her parents watch the show, see how hurt she is and smarten up! I can't imagine not knowing my parents loved me, not having the support at home. She'd mentioned a couple weeks ago that her parents told her "come home 100 lbs lighter or dont come home at all". That is horrible.

Well, since most, if not all, of the winners are seriously dehydrated at the finale it's not surprising that they put some weight back on.

i did,t like the makeover section of the episode. well the runway part anyway. i didn't see the whole thing, but putting it on the runway made it such a big deal, so time consuming. both as taking too much time from w/o's and too much time in the show. they always spend so much time on sponsors, game playing. i like watching the challenges, some of the w/o's and learning about being healthy. I want Ada to win too. Seems extremely unlikely. It was cool they got to see their family when they changed clothes.
