Hooray for Helen!
And let’s not forget about the at-home winner, Jerry.

And exactly how many tears did you shed? Share your thoughts on the finale here overnight, and click over for my full Biggest Loser finale recap when the sun’s up.
I wanted Tara to win
I did not want Helen to win. She put her needs before her daughter and that was shameful. Her daughter is still severely overweight. Selfish Helen! Kudos to Ron that put his son first at all time and still managed to lose a tremendous amount of weight.
I wanted Mike to win
helen looked way too thin to me….ew
Ne kidding- Her BMI is less than 19 and in the underweight range for BMI’s. I think that the show ought to consider adding an adjustment to healthy living and maintaining…not just continued losing…
what an unexpected ending. goooo underdog! congrats to everyone who did so well. such an inspiration
Me too! Tara’s the real winner in my book. She kicked butt all season!
I was really pulling for Tara. I’m sad she lost, especially to Helen. Despite that, the final three all looked amazing, as did many of the other contestants. The person I liked may not have won the big prize, but they all won in their own ways, and that’s what counts.
Helen looked awful. She needs to gain 5-10 pounds.
I wanted Tara to win. Most of the contestants didn’t do very well … just the final 3, Jerry, and Nicole.
It was sad watching Helen jumping around, yelling, “I did it!” and looking all anorexic, while her poor daughter stood by watching, still morbidly obese. Helen definitely proved herself to be the biggest loser. Sad.
Aw, I wanted Tara, too! I thought Helen was okay, but it never sat well with me that she let her daughter go home. I would definitely have made sure that my daughter stayed and got as much out of the experience as possible. It just seemed so selfish to me. But kudos to all who lost weight – I love the finale because we get to see all the progress the contestants made!
Regarding a comment that someone else made here on this blog; “that Helen looked too thin.” She most certainly did not! She worked hard – harder than anyone else and she won. I favored Tara because she won so many challenges and never fell below the yellow line. But guess what? I’m happy for ALL of the people on that show because as the trainers pointed out – they’ve all “won.” The point was to lose weight.
I could care less who won! I predict within 1 year they will all be obese once again!!!!
Helen is way too thin now….I thought Tara or Mike should have won–they are at healthier weights in my opinion.
I was really rooting for Tara. I saw bits of myself in her. I am totally amazed by not only Helen’s transformation but Jerry’s as well!
Was anyone else disgusted by the lack of change in David? It made me feel even worse for Daniel. He really got the short end of the stick in his partner.
