Last week left us with a cliffhanger when Roberto and Stephen advanced to the finals.
Roberto: 234 pounds (-6, -2, 3.33%)
Jacky: 215 pounds (-6, 2.71%)
Stephen: 209 pounds (-10, 4.57%)
Felicia: 176 pounds (-3, 1.68%)
Colby: 229 pounds (-9, 3.78%)
Colby comes out ahead of Jacky to join the other two guys in the final three.
Before the main event, the players who were sent home will compete for the $100,000 at home prize.
Richard: 269 pounds (-45, 14.33%)
Lauren: 167 pounds (-67, 28.63%)
Erin: 151 pounds (-87, 36.55%)
Vicki: 176 pounds (-61, 25.74%)
Toy: 232 pounds (-84, 26.58%)
Rob: 210 pounds (-116, 35.58%)
Britney: 220 pounds (-33, 13.04%)
Sarah: 148 pounds (-119, 44.57%)
Whitney: 197 pounds (-56, 22.13%)
Hope: 192 pounds (-40, 17.24%)
Felicia: 178 pounds (-56, 23.93%)
Luis: 169 pounds (-139, 45.13%)
Jacky: 187 pounds (-117, 38.49%)
Luis has a couple of tough competitors but pulls off the win over Sarah by 2 pounds.
Before the final three weigh in, Bob has one final temptation. They can have $50,000 if they are willing to take a 3 pound disadvantage.
Colby lets the countdown almost hit 0 before hitting the button and taking the money. Seems like a smart decision to me. He looks good, but he hasn’t won. Stephen looks impressive, but Roberto has more to lose. The battle is between those two.
Colby: 217 pounds (-122, +3, 35.10%)
Stephen: 176 pounds (-133, 43.04%)
Roberto: 188 pounds (-160, 45.98%)
Following in his brother’s footsteps, The Biggest Loser season 17 winner is Roberto Hernandez.
There’s a good chance that will do it for the US version of The Biggest Loser. It’s been getting pushed to the back burner since The Voice premiered, and now it’s at the point where it’s just getting shoved in whatever minimal time slot NBC can dig up so that nobody knows it’s on any more. Best case scenario is another abridged midseason entry at some random time, but even that’s looking slim.
