Biggest Loser Finale is 12/16; as you know the contestants go home for 12 weeks (3 months after their last day on the show and compete at home until the finale)
This would mean their true last date on the ranch before going home would be approximately 9/23/08.
I found an article where Vicky and Brady were interviewed on 9/22/08

It's almost as if it says when the arrived home they had to evacuate due to Hurricane Gustav ... which was September 1st:
On August 31, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) predicted with 81% probability that Gustav would remain at Category 3 or above on September 1, but on September 1 at 9:30 a.m. CDT (1430 UTC) the center of Gustav made landfall in the United States along the Louisiana coast near Cocodrie as a strong Category 2 hurricane1 mph below Category 3and dropped to Category 1 four hours later,[4] and to a tropical depression the following day. Gustav continued moving northwest through Louisiana, before slowing down significantly as it moved through Arkansas on September 3.
So with that being said it would appear that they were home before the final contests for the finale were sent home.

The Vilcans rode out Gustav on the Florida panhandle, to where they'd pre-planned a family vacation anyway.

FINALE
Still competing as of 10/28/08
Brady, Vicky, Renee, Coleen, Phillip, Amy C, Michelle, Heba
So there seems to be a possibility of Brady and Vicky going home before the last 3 competitors do. What do you think?
