Who's looking forward to the Grand Finale of "The Biggest Loser"?

I know I am! haha!  Who do you think is going to win?

ooooo I'm so excited! I'm mostly excited just to see what everyone looks like now :)

I'm excited as well.

I really hope it is Bill - I like him - and he has done so much.

However, it would be nice to see one of the ladies win since that has never happened.

I was quite happy to see Neil go last week (since he cheated the once I would have hated to see him win).

I agree...I was think that the day that he (Neil) cheated that eventually he would be booted off...and then that one night, when he told everyone to "Come and get me", I was definitely thinking...you are so going to get booted off and I'm going to laugh! haha...

yeah, that would be nice to see a lady win...and I'm with you missy81, I can't wait to see how everyone is going to look!

I wouldn't mind seeing any of them win...but Holly.  There's just something about her I don't care for.  She seems kind of whiney to me, and she never seems to put up the big numbers, although she's been doing better.  Honestly, I'm not expecting to see a huge loss from her now that they've gone home.  I hope she proves me wrong!

I'm glad Neil is gone, too!  I never got over him cheating that one week.  Cheaters never win, and winners never cheat.  It's good to see a group of honest people going into the finals.  :)

As long as Neil doesn't win the $100,000 sent-home prize, I will be happy. I'd love to see Kae win that, actually! (Though Jerry or Phil would be nice, too.)

I'd like to see Bill win.  I don't really care that much for Hollie or Isabeau's personalities... and I don't think Julie is likely to win.

This was a frustrating season, with some of the players I liked best getting voted off because they were threats to the Black Team Voting Block.

My wish list for the future:

(a) separate male and female categories

(b) no voting off, the lowest overall cumulative weight loss % goes home

(c) somehow equalizing things for age differences, since our metabolisms slow with age.

(d) more discussion of the calories eaten per day, calories burned per day

Speaking of calories eaten each day - I was watching TBL Australia and Jillian told one of her ladies to eat no more than 1300 calories per day.

That's it - 1300 calories - that's not enough.

And that's combined with 6 hours of exercise!!! The Biggest Loser is a TV show about (a) entertainment and (b) a competition.  It should not be confused with being a "How To" show for healthy weight loss in many situations. 

(By the way, did you know that the winning trainer gets a huge $$$ bonus?)

It's going to be a bittersweet finale for me, I was so pumped on Tuesdays I worked out so much more than other days :) so looking forward to it, but it was a big motivator for me, so don't really want to see it end....its a good thing I'm 5 months into my diet and more or less set in the routines.

I'd like Bill to win, I like him :) no other reason, Julie kind of irritates me, not sure why.  But they all look great already so yes the money is nice and all but they have that!! They all had the help to get there!

I would also like to see Bill win :)

Go Bill!!! I like him and I think he deserves to win. I'm not a big fan of the other 3, especially Hollie and Julie. They just annoy me for some reason.

I watching TBL Finale right now.  :)  They all look GREAT!

I like Bill and hope he wins but would also like to see a female win this year... But I am not a big fan of Julie.

I would like to see Jerry, Kae, or Phil lose the $100,000. 

They are doing the final weigh ins now....

My guess is Bill wins with a 150+ pound loss.

Are you watching TBL right now Molly?  Do you remember what Bill's total weight loss when they left the BL campus? (I forgot)

I am typing out the results of the weigh in and will post once over.  :)  So, spoiler warning (in about 1 Hour 20 Minutes that is). 

UTR, nope ... I am in California. It's only 6:42pm here.... show doesn't start until 9pm.

=^..^= MOLLY

Hey, I just had a thought ... wouldn't it be cool if Jim and Bill BOTH won? I bet that they had each other to work out with since going home.

Hmmmm.....

But Kae had lost a lot already, didn't she?

=^..^= MOLLY

Oh my!  Well then I will wait to post the results until much later so I do not spoil your TBL watching.  :)  You are going to be up late tonight!

I think that would be GREAT for the twins!  Last time Kae was on the show (when she was voted off and then came back) I think she had lost around 80lbs.  I do not remember what her starting weight was so not sure of the % of body weight she lost.

* whines *

But I want to seeeeee Spoilers .........

=^..^= MOLLY

Does Phil look good?  How did Amber do?

*wanders off into the Great Internet in search of spoilers *

=^..^= MOLLY

I put the results.  I'll keep updating as I watch.  :)

So *SPOILER ALERT* for those that do not want to know yet.
