Biggest Loser Couples Finale
I was watching the Finale last night and what a great ending to a season. I think I was expecting Mike or Tara to take the title, and was shocked that Helen won. I was also shocked that Jerry won the at home contest. I guess I underestimated what age has to do with weight loss!
The thing that bothered me the most though was that it looked like Helen had starved herself to the point where she might have won from losing muscle mass and water weight. I could be totally wrong but she looked sickly in a way. Mike and Tara totally looked healthy and at a good weight for them though. My girl and I were commenting on how if Mike had a hard time with the ladies before he certainly won’t now. The dude had a ton of chicks screaming for him. All and all it was very inspiring to me.
I’m glad the pink girl (I forget her name) got onto next season. It seemed like everytime they showed the two girls competing the one in green just wasn’t working very hard. I think she was more concerned about what she looked like on TV than showing she really wanted to be there.
