Biggest Loser Disappointment
If you have seen me since the BL ended, you have heard this rant so I apologize.
This is a contest for 250k. You play to win. Every year the finalists get that except for this year. Fubar was in a weight loss competition for $400. He cut weight at the end to try and win it. In 9 weeks, he lost 40 lbs (now I would say we lost like 25-30. He inflated his weight some at the beginning). Fubar is not that heavy. He lost 40 lbs in 9 weeks.
Lets now look at our two automatic finalists.
1.Mike when he left the ranch was 6'3" 299 lbs. He has three months to lose as much weight as possible. He weighs in at 262. Huh??? He loses 37 lbs in 3 months. This number should have been double that. WTF! You think 6'3' 262 is a good weight. You still have a lot to lose.
2. Ashley when she left the ranch was 5'5" 213 lbs. Her final weigh in was 191. 22 lbs in 3 months. What a joke. You are 5'5"! I expected a number below 150. This is for 250k. All you should be doing is eating right and working out. Quit your job. Those three months should be focused on your weight.
Daris and Koli - I had no beef with. Given their heights, they were ideal weights. They really could not lose much more. Good for them. I do find it funny that America does not think before they vote. Lets say you like Daris. You want him to win money. Well, he doesn't have much of a chance in the finals but he does have a chance with the at home contestants. WHY do you vote for him in the finals????
Daris would have won the at home money. In a shocking moment, Koli would have won the finals. Consider me shocked but Mike and Ashley didn't lose that much.
Fubar lost 41 lbs in 9 weeks. I do not care at what extreme he did it. It is a competition. Mike and Ashley should take some notes from Fubar. They did not bring it and I am disappointed.
I feel better now.

Biggest Loser Math
I have been busy with life and work so I apologize to my two readers out there. I am really bummed with TV right now. The best season ever of Survivor just ended. Lost ends Sunday and BL ends next week. What is going on? I am supposed to enjoy the summer OUTSIDE!?!?!
Anyway, one of my favorite blogs to write is the Biggest Loser math for the finale. Let's look at the final four.
Ashley - 5'5", 25 yrs old, starting weight - 374 (wow), last weight - 213 (loss of 43.04%)
Michael - 6'3", 30 yrs old, starting weight - 524 (wow), last weight - 299 (loss of 42.94%)
Koli - 6'1", 28 yrs old, starting weight - 403, last weight - 218 (loss of 45.91%)
Daris - 5'10", 25 yrs old, starting weight - 346, last weight - 197 (loss of 43.06%)
Before we get too far, let me throw Koli and Daris out of the picture. Their starting weight was not high enough. Ashley is 4 inches shorter than Daris but 30 lbs heavier at the beginning. Wow. Koli at 6'1" could maybe get down to 175. That is really skinny. However, even at 175, Michael would beat him with a weight of 225 and Ashley would beat him with a weight of 160.
Initially, I thought Michael was in the driver's seat but I am wrong. Ashley is the driver. This is Ashley's game to lose. At 5'5", she could easily end up at 140. That is 73 more lbs but totally doable for the season finale. If she ends at 140, that is a weight loss of 62.57%. Mike would have to weigh in at 196 to barely beat her. I am not saying Michael won't lose 103 more lbs. It just looks a little easier for Ashley to win this game.
In Season 7, Helen who is 5'6" ended up at 117 lbs. Rebecca from Season 8 who is 5'6" ended up at 140 lbs. Ashley is an inch shorter than both of them. My final guess for her is 132, a weight loss of 64.7%. Michael will not end up at 184.
My final guesses as as follows:
Ashley - 132
Michael - 192
Koli - 177
Daris - 165
What are your thoughts?
