~ The Biggest Loser ~ FINALE ~ We have a winner!!!

[The Mystery Machine]

I missed the first half. What does FLN stand for? I'm wondering if I have that channel.

Fine Living Network.

Anyone see Danny on Joy Behar last night? He was in studio and Rebecca was by satellite. She talked about her relationship with Daniel. Danny said he needs lots of new clothes.

Then Joy had on a doctor to talk about rapid weight loss. He said that most people can't quit their job to lose weight. Joy asked the doc about extra skin and the doc said that they will all have a lot of it.

so my dh wants to know where did all that extra skin go on Danny? Why isn't he just a flabby mess? I think he looked HOT! he didn't even have much flab on his neck - where everyone that loose weight has it

It was under the Spanx! I know he and Rudy were wearing them and probably everyone else, too.

So we're assuming that BL doesn't test the competiors for steroids or anything? After all these years I'm surprised noone has come out & said what they did to loose all their weight for the finale - surely they still aren't under contract years later? I just keep waiting for someone like Ally to say she took diet pills or laxatives to become so skinny or some big secret like that.

I am sure their non-disclosure contract goes for a very, very long time.

It was under the Spanx! I know he and Rudy were wearing them and probably everyone else, too.

I didn't think about that! How do you know for sure they were wearing Spanx? Or is it just one of those "Duh?" moments .

Never thought about the spandex. I just assumed they had had the extra skin cut off in the time between the last episode and the finale. If they didn't have it cut off I am sure they will need to have it cut off. Although I think I remember a past winner, year before last, who said she did not have any extra skin.

 

[wvjules]

I don't think they would be allowed to have the exta skin cut off before the finale. That extra skin must weigh a lot.

As for Tracey's hair. All season I have thought her hair looked like it was really thin/thinning.

What is the age difference between Daniel and Rebecca? They do seem like quite an odd couple. He has such a baby face still.

 

[mla1977]

I think the age difference is 4 years. I think he is around 20 or 21 and I read that she is 25.

 

[mla1977]

I actually find that funny. I dated someone who was 22 when I was 25. Didn't last long and he got married about a year later.


Hmmm... I'm still not married....

I heard a radio interview Danny did this morning. DJ Scott Shannon asked him about the "extra skin" and Danny admitted there was plenty. He said his "Yummy Tummy" was feeling pretty snug that night!! He also stated that he & Rudy were not allowed to see each other before the show and when he finally did see Rudy during the telecast, he thought "uh, oh - I could lose".

How do you know this?

If they let them cut things off Tracy would have given a limb to win

You could really see the "Oh no!" on his face. You could tell that he couldn't figure out if his weigh loss was enough. As opposed to Helen last year who broke out in a HUGE grin.

Yes, I thought Danny was going to cry and I thought his speech about his friendship with Rudy was a congratulatory speech. That Danny thought he had lost.

I don't know if you had the chance to watch when Danny was interviewed on the Jay Leno show immediately following the finale. At one point he raised his hands in the air and I noticed he had some type of white shirt on underneath his brown shirt. I really think that it was some type of girdle. I would imagine many of the BL contestants need skin removed after their weight loss.

I thought Danny looked great!

ETA: Just read the latest posts - other people noticed it too.

 

[Straitlover]

I read aobut it on another site. Soem people said they could see Danny's and Rudy's ehn they were in their weigh-in clothes. I do know that they are used on jsut about every season. That's why last season Mike looked so odd in his midsection in his nice clothes before they changed into their weigh-in clothes.

Now, it might not be actual brand-name Spanx, but it is some kind of compression garment they wear.

 

[daisy2jae]

Well I finally was able to sit down and watch it!!!! I will admit that I scrolled thru and only saw the weigh-ins.

WTH did Rebecca do to her hair? I loved her cute black hair. It was also too short.

HOWEVER.....so HAPPY that Danny won.

I didn't like Rebecca's hair. I've never been a fan of her but I always thought she was beautiful. With her "new look" I thought she looked terrible.

 

[LisaR]

I have a stupid question. If they get their excess skin removed and gain back most or all of their weight, I know skin stretches but..........I don't even know what my own stupid question is. I just picture being pregnant, skin stretched out and eventually/hopefully you lose the weight and tone up so the extra skin isn't an issue. If you remove the excess and end up gaining the weight again, it seems like it might look even stranger. See, I told you it was a stupid question.

 

[DeluxePrincess]

I'm thinking that maybe they wear Spanx/girdles during the weekly show after they start losing some weight. I always found it strange how they had to go "topless" for the weigh ins when they were heavier, then start covering up as they get thinner.

I am catching up on my episodes - I'm on the marathon episode right now, but I know who wins etc. already.

But I just have to say... Bob and Amanda... how cute/odd are they??

Is there something going on with Bob & Amanda? I know we suspected that there might be something, but I don't know if anything really happened.

I don't know if there is, but the show sure seems edited that way!
