Kristi – don’t stalk Mike.
How many weeks from the last show until the finale? Can someone clue me in. Helen looks terrible! Looks to me she was “doing something” other than the “routine” taught at the ranch.
It was all so fast, who was 2nd?
It makes me sad that people may admire Helen, when she’s quite unhealthy now. If overweight people see Helen as a success (or even worse- their goal), it’d be a major shame. Sooo discouraging to have her weight as her standard of beauty. I preferred her at 149.
Tara and Mike look fantastic AND healthy. They are the real winners in my book. I’m very disappointed that someone over-exercised to drop to a too low weight and win.
Tara or Mike should have won. Helen might be thin and “beautiful” now, but she’s comes off like she could be nasty at the drop of a dime.
What was tara’s % weight loss?
Helen did look too thin and unhealthy. Unfortunately, to win the money, you need to lose the most weight for the finale. Most winners do end up gaining some weight to be healthy. This too will happen to Helen. I hope that Helen uses her winnings to help her daughter lose weight – she needs to lose at least 50 more lbs.
Mike was the big winner here. He probably saved his life and his father’s. They should be very proud of themselves. Now they need to help the brother. Great story. Congrats to Helen but the other two looked so much healthier and one of the two greatest weight loss contestants should have won this competition.
We all wanted Tara to win but she has nobody to blame but herself.
She finished 3rd of the three finalists.
ugh. helen looks disgusting. tara or mike should have one. they look like such hotties now!!!
How many lbs did Tara weigh in the end?
Got this from imdb.com
Contestant/start wgt/final wgt/diff/% loss
Helen…..257/117/140/54.47
Mike……388/181/207/53.35
Tara……294/139/155/52.72
Yup…according to this BMI calculator: http://www.halls.md/body-mass-index/bmi.htm Helen is underweight, and at less than a 2 percentile for her age.
They are all winners but Tara and Mike definitely were my favorites.
Helen has become anorexic. Is this the standard of beauty, or health? Please! Bravo to Tara and Mike for not letting the idea of money get to them the way it has, apparently, gotten to Helen!
It’s ironic that the Biggest Loser Winner (Helen) is a horrible role model! It’s not about losing weight or winning cash – it’s about health! Which Helen seems to have thrown in the trashcan!
