    SN: My random question is this. How long were the contestants at home before returning to the ranch?

    I think it said they ran their first mile 18 weeks previous, and the final four went home at 12 weeks, so prob around 2 months at home. Just a guesstimate.

    The people whose training was shown aren't just training for the marathon (including the woman who squatted 125 lb.); they're still finalists to be the Biggest Loser, no matter how the marathon went. So they're trying to maximize weight loss, not just complete the marathon. The marathon just happens to be between them and the finale, where the winner is selected not based on the marathon time, but on total percentage of weight loss.

    Have any of you ever purchased the Biggest Loser walking video? They claim to help a person train for a marathon. I know for myself that if I trained with ONLY that video then I'd probably be facing an upset come marathon time. :noway:

    I do enjoy watching the BL though, aside from the marathon thingy. It's encouraging for a person like me. :wink:

    what I would like to know is how many contestants blew their knees out?

    I usually consider this show the "let's see how many we can get to blow out there knees" show.

    Ho, hum.....
