The Biggest Loser 5 was the season of couples, or at least it was for a few weeks anyway. In tonight’s live finale, we find out who the winner is. We already know that Ali Vincent and Kelly Fields make up two of the three finalists. The third will be chosen by America between Mark Kruger and Roger Shultz. Considering Ali’s performance thus far, she’s got the best shot any woman has ever had of winning this show, but both the guys would give her a run for her money.

America has chosen to bring Roger back into the game. Can’t say I’m surprised, but I’d argue that Mark should have been brought back. Of course, whichever of these two didn’t get chosen probably has the highest chance of winning the $100k, though I expect Bernie and Dan to challenge him for it.

Paul is ill and unable to be at the show tonight, but the others are all back.

Mark tells us he was a crybaby because he finally was able to embrace the emotional issues of why he got overweight to begin with.

Curtis wants to hit 238 pounds so that he can qualify for health insurance.

Jenni: 213 pounds (-54, 20.22%)
Lynn: 329 pounds (-80, 19.56%)
Mallory: 152 pounds (-65, 29.95%)
Curtis: 231 pounds (-150, 39.37%)
Amanda: 140 pounds (-64, 31.37%)
Neill: 229 pounds (-88, 27.76%)
Bette-Sue: 186 pounds (-75, 28.74%)
Jenn: 190 pounds (-64, 25.20%)
Maggie: 169 pounds (-70, 29.29%)
Jackie: 157 pounds (-89, 36.18%)
Dan: 174 pounds (-136, 43.87%)
Trent: 301 pounds (-135, 30.96%)
Bernie: 153 pounds (-130, 45.94%)
Brittany: 164 pounds (-57, 25.79%)
Jay: 190 pounds (-103, 35.15%)
Mark: 156 pounds (-129, 45.26%)

Bernie manages to inch out Mark and is the Biggest Loser 5 at-home winner, taking home the $100,000 prize.

That leaves us 43 minutes for three additional people to weigh in. They’ll be able to fill it without breaking a sweat.

America lost 1,129,347 pounds. This is one reason I hope to see this show continue for a long time. It’s good to see this kind of motivation on TV.

As the highest percentage weight loser on campus, Ali decides to allow Roger to go first, followed by Kelly, then herself.

Roger: 199 pounds (-164, 45.18%)
Kelly: 162 pounds (-109, 40.22%)
Ali: 122 pounds (-112, 47.86%)

And The Biggest Loser Couples winner is Ali Vincent, making her the first female Biggest Loser winner. This concludes a great story and lesson. Either give up and say “I can’t” like multiple women on this and prior seasons of this show, or push yourself to the limits and prove that if you set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.

The Biggest Loser 6 was announced in February, and the NBC schedule has it slated as The Biggest Loser: Families.
