Thoughts on the BIGGEST LOSER finale!

FIREfitGrl27

Irene, Olivia, and Hannah represented so well for being in top 3! They deserved it and they worked so hard for it! However, I see that I'm not the only one who was disappointed in some of our faves that returned for the last weigh-in and didn't do as well as they probably could have.

What did you think? Who was your fave for the season?

I was SO IMPRESSED with friggin' DENI! She really brought IT...I mean the lady is almost friggin' 60 and she pulled it off HARDER and BADDER than some of the people half her age! WTG! I think it goes to show that the mind is a force to be met with when it's determined and she proved it! Great job! And the TWINS..WOW! Let's just say it was the year of the seasoned peeps stepping up and proving it!

Let's be honest ...who disappointed....Q and Lariamy sp? and I thought Courtney would look different..though she did AMAZING! Authur was GREAT too and he has a lot of weight there, but i thought he would've been a bit smaller than he was from elimination to now....i don't know..it's hard whether you have a place like Biggest Loser with trainers OR just yourself and your own gym and/or living room. I definitely was impressed with Olivia's husband who didn't have the ranch and managed to bring it like he had been there since the first day right along with Olivia! Wow!

Incredible season! A little disappointed that Rulon didnt attend.. The sisters looked amazing and Sarah was hot! I think I am most proud of the twins tho.. Great work!

I agree - great season...well I tuned in half way into the season so I didn't get to see Deni, Aurthur, Q etc...
I thought for sure Austin would win the $100k but major props to Deni!

Olivia, Hannah & Irene looked amazing!

FIREfitGrl27

Yeah! What happened to Rulon?! I know he walked off and all, but that didn't mean he couldn't show up for the finale! Sam and his girl from season 8 or 9 were there and Sam's been coming to the season finales since his season has been over...so I'm surprised Rulon didn't show up to support and show off!

koukla702

Oh yea - in regards to Rulon, I was disappointed he wasn't their either, I would loved to have seen his transformation.

He was barred by show rules from attending. If you quit, then you can not be in the finale.

I wanted Hannah to win
But Olivia had vocalized some issues she had with getting pregnant, so maybe she can use that money for some kind of fertility treatment or something. Was kind of disappointed in Arthur
Reeally disappointed in Q and his wife(Laramie is her name, I think?)
But it was awesome!

I personally thought that Deni looked like a corpse & should gain a few pounds back. She looked sickly to me. There's a fine line sometimes between being thin & being TOO thin. IMO, she crossed that threshold.

Thought everyone else did extremely well with the exception of L & Q, but after watching the season, I didn't expect a lot there. Most everyone else looked fantastic.

I was BLOWN AWAY by the sisters (Olivia & Hannah) they seriously looked like models. I thought those were the 2 best transformations I've ever seen on the show. They were thin, but looked fit & healthy. They deserved it.

Irene looked great, but bad choice of dress. It wasn't figure flattering & she needs something that isn't strapless to contain the overhang. By no means am i "making fun" of her, i'm just saying, we all have flaws we have to work with & she has a lot of excess up top unfortunately. She also needed a dress that showed her figure a little more, IMO!

Was pretty impressed with everyone. Didn't figure Rulon would be there. With his attitude, i'm sure he's gained all the weight back + some anyhow.

I was pretty surprised that it was all females at the end. 48% weight loss all at home is pretty huge. Not to mention it's good proof that you don't need to be on the show to see results. Deni's % lost was basically the same as Olivia and Hannah's

Hannah's loss has made me re-evaluate my own goals. She seems to be a similar frame to me but I think a little taller. I was shocked to see her at 128lbs, so now I'm wondering if I could hit that mark too.

I have a feeling that Hannah and Olivia will share the prize money, so it didn't really matter who won.

My husband and I were hoping to see Rulon -- we missed the week where he walked off so we thought he was competing for the at-home prize. We figured if anyone could give the at-home leader some competition, it would be him, being a former olympic athlete and all.

I was so impressed with the Twins and Jennifer looks so beautiful! I mean everyone was beautiful!! I was hoping either Arthur or Courtney would win the at home prize. But Deni did an excellent job and worked it!! As far as Q and Larailmy goes I think they couldv'e stepped up a lil bit more.:indifferent: I hope they continue to work on their goals as well as Arthur. This was a really good season I will miss Jillian a lot. Ana Kornakorva??? Yeah ok whatever!

i havent seen it yet, will respond when i watch

I'm not a fan of having Anna K. on the show either...bring Jillian back!!!

princesspurple

I was a little disappointed last night, I thought for sure they would do something nice for Jillian, she definitely helped make the show! I just expected a little something!!!!!
The 2 blondes looked unbelievable, I didn’t recognize them…nor did I recognize the first twin cop that came out-he blew me away! The sisters looked unbelievable, I liked Hannah’s hair better last night than I have lately…I was glad Olivia won, I really like her more than her sister…I hope we hear soon that she is pregnant!

I was shocked when I saw Hannah. I actually expected her to be a brunett again ( I didn't like her makeover haircut). But she was blonder and smoking hot! I think her appearance surprised me the most. I thought Olivia looked absolutely beautiful too, and love the new pixie haircut.

I thought Courtney looked beautiful, however, I expected a bigger transformation. When I saw Kaylee I could tell that she had gained some weight back since she was home, and Moses looked about the same as when he left the show. I looked them up on the website and looks like Kaylee has gained 14lbs back and Moses stayed about the same. I didn't even realize that Rulon wasn't there until this morning. I would have like to have seen his transformation. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he gained too though. And his partner Justin was either really high on life or something else. I thought he was acting strange. When Deni came out, I knew she had a good chance at that prize. Most of all, I am so thrilled that the women dominated this season!!!

I will miss Jillian! I was shocked to hear about her replacement. I don't have any opinions of whether she will be good or not...we will just have to wait and see. I think I was shocked because she's so famous. Will Bret and Cara stay for next season?

Jena_72

I have a feeling that Hannah and Olivia will share the prize money, so it didn't really matter who won.

Yeah I was thinking she would give $50K to her sister and $100K for each her and her husband who deserved a prize as well!!

He was barred by show rules from attending. If you quit, then you can not be in the finale.

AND I am sure he was told this before he left so he was just done. Weird really. Guess we'll never know what really happened there. I always thought he should have just threw the weigh in that week he left so he could have 1. let someone else stay that week and 2. could have been a contender for the at home prize but given this info about him being barred I guess he just didn't want to be part of BL at all! Maybe a big fight with someone affiliated with the show or his wife was at home being bad!! Let the rumors begin! lol

Fieldsy

I was disappointed in it. I really don't care for Hannah or Olivia. Hannah just seems like she is going to be a big attention *kitten* now.

No, Brett and Cara are gone, too. Just Bob and Ana K.

LauraSchaller

BUMP!

If you want to see what Rulon looks like now - check out his Facebook Fan Page! (Rulon Gardner) He posted some pics last night and he looks incredible!! I understand Biggest loser not allowing him to attend the Finale. Rules are rules.

..and let's be honest, if Kaylee had quit the show and she was allowed to come back for the Finale, everyone woulda been pissy! LOL!..

Otherwise..

Hannah, Olivia, Sarah, and Jen looked like ABSOLUTE Bomb Shells!!!!!!!!! Stunning & Beautiful!

The Twins surprised me.. Deni surprised everyone.. I love Austin.. Jay looks fabulous.. Q & his wife, however you spell her name, disappointed me big time. Someone please make them an MFP account. Stat. Justin looked great, though kinda creepy without his facial hair. Arthur has a way to go, but he's kicking butt along the way! Great start!

Courtney was my biggest disappointment of the night. She looks wonderful and she's lost a LOT .. but she posted a headshot on her FB page a few weeks ago and judging by that picture, I thought she looked a LOT smaller. So yeah, needless to say, I wasn't as impressed when she came out on stage last night.

I hope I look like Marcie when I'm her age..

LauraSchaller

OH OH OH!

Anybody else think that Cara looked pregnant in her dress last night?? Trainer's don't have perfectly round baby looking bumps...

And I'm disappointed they didn't really highlight Jillian's departure from the show. She deserved a proper send-off.

wscarp

because he quit he was not eligible for the at home price.

That was exactly what I felt too! Cara had a really round tummy. Don't know if it's just because she wasn't standing straight or if the dress was unflattering. Even during some of the episodes, I've actually noticed her tummy protrude out...

I noticed that as well. Later on when I looked again it was at a different angle and it looked like.. it wasn't there. :noway:

I wasn't surprised by Q and his wife - by their attitude on the ranch.
Courtney has come a long way, and did get a standing ovation.

Twins surprised me, i didn't think it was in them.

Surprised at Irene - Yes she did well, but she left the ranch at 147 and weight in at 140 at finale.
If she got into the 120's she would have won. She's a lot shorter than hannah and olivia.

Jenn and Sarah, the blondes looked great. I barely recognized them.

PodgyPixie

I loved the finale, I thought Hannah & Olivia looked amazing & so deserved their places in the finale (I really do hope they share the winnings).
OMG the twins were amazing, I'm so glad they managed to do it at home after such a struggle on the ranch.

Again I was dissappointed not to see Rulon in the FInale, I understand that he wasn't eligable for the at home prize, but they could have had him in the audience just so we could have seen his progress. (they do that on the Australian version).

This has been my favourite season of the USA Biggest Loser. Loved Cara & Brett shame they're not staying & I'm gutted that Jillian has left - won't be as good without her now. I agree there should have been a bit more of a send off than they did.

HaleyAlli

I agree with everything you just said!! I was kind of disappointed with Courtney and Arthur, I really thought they'd be rockin it much smaller by then... And Kaylee had actually GAINED weight since she was eliminated!! WTH??

I think one of the biggest surprises of the night for me was Justin. That change of hair made him look like a movie star, no joke. He looked so classy!! And SARAH, OMG!!!! She looked like a friggin model!!

Personally, I think Deni was a little TOO skinny... She looked kind of emaciated. But I think she'll probably look healthier now that the finale's over and she doesn't have to be THAT skinny anymore haha

Congrats to the final 3, they ALL looked amazing, as usual

ETA: P.S. I do NOT like the thought of a Barbie taking over Jillian's spot... Just sayin'...

I had the same thought!! Maybe Cara IS preggers!! Which would explain why they didn't keep her on the show...lol.

swest222

Did anyone else think Justin had an injury of some sort? He seemed to limp a bunch.

I liked Hannah better than Olivia but I do think they will split the prize money.

As for Jillian, it's really too bad they didnt give her a proper send off - very sad for someone who changed so many lives.
She was barely mentioned!

LJSpady

I wanted Irene to win the Biggest Loser and Austin or Courtney to win the at home. Oh well.

healthyjen342

I agree...Q and Larialmy...Sigh...they lost a bit, but not as much as I was expecting..Was i the only person who thought that Justin was drunk? He looked drunk to me...Also, I think Kaylee put on a bit of weight...like maybe 10-20 lbs...

But I think Olivia, Hannah and Irene looked absolutely gorgeous! I applaud them all! Even the eliminated contestants..if it's this hard to lose weight WITHOUT a camera shoved in your face all day, I cant imagine what it would be like WITH someone watching you constantly...

BigBoneSista

I'm not a fan of having Anna K. on the show either...bring Jillian back!!!

Me either. Anna K. isn't vocal enough for me and I think she is going to be more ice candy IMO They needed to get someone else. We'll see though. Maybe she can pull it off.

As for Authur & Courtney I think they did awesome. Life at home isn't easy as we all should know so lets be realistic. They lost on the ranch, went home and are still losing. I saw the difference in them from the last time they were on the ranch and they both have made progress.

I never liked Q & L personalities. I didn't see them making any progress at all while at the ranch and it showed at the finale. The twins were the bright moment for me and also Irene's mom. They did it on their own basically.

The oldest lady looked to thin in MO sorry.
