I really wanted Mike to win but Tara if he didn't. Her face totally fell as soon as her weight came up, broke my heart.

Definitely congrats go to Helen - but I do think that Tara deserved the win (especially since all the challenges she won AND she was never below the yellow line!!!!!!)

... does anyone else think that Helen looks sickly (like she starved herself?)

I really wish they would do a season where the lowest percentage went home every week. No votes. If you are at the bottom you go home. End. Of. Story.

I agree, Helen did look unhealthy.

I thought Helen looked great!

Was sorry Mike didn't win, though, and not commenting on Tara other than she did a fabulous job on the show and won every challenge so guess it was her turn to lose.

Love Ron but was glad that the oldest man there won the at-home prize as BL sometimes seems to be just about the young and they constantly mention people's ages in somewhat a negative way, in my opinion. It was good to see an older person win something.

I'm furious that Helen won!!! I so wanted it to be Mike and was hoping that Ron would have beaten Jerry in the end. Jerry lost alot of weight but didn't anyone think Jerry looked awful and sort of weird? The more I watched the weirder he looked and sort of acted to. Just MHO. The look on Tara's face was priceless when she didn't win. Darn Helen...she was the ONLY one I didn't want to see win. I was also hoping that that Max would have looked like he lost something and/or Ally would have talked with him for a minute.

On a positive note, they all did great and should be very proud of themselves.

Helen DID look odd...maybe too much Botox around the forehead/eye area?

I think the producers would've loved a Mike or Tara outcome much more, just as many of us would have....

I really thought it would be either Mike or Tara, but Helen winning was a surprise for me!
BOY! I was shocked when she walked out, thihnking she couldn't have lost much more than she already had but....She looked like she'd been fasting or something because she was tiny and you could just see the look on Mike and Tara's face that they were in trouble.

Each of the contestants go through some drama on the show, but any of the 3 that were in the running in the end winning, was well deserved.

All and all I thought this was a really good season! I enjoyed it!
