The Biggest Loser Season 11 Winner

Sisters Hannah and Olivia managed to secure the first two spots in the finale in The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 20.

Jay and Irene are competing for America’s votes for the final spot in the top 3. The winner of America’s vote is Irene, so no matter what happens, this year’s Biggest Loser will be a woman. In a season full of quitters, there were a few shining stars. I think we have the right trio there.

Tonight marks Jillian Michaels’ final episode of The Biggest Loser. Supposedly, she was leaving to focus on being a mom, although recently we found out she’s got a gig with Dr. Phil.

Jay now joins the other eliminated contestants to compete for the at home prize of $100,000.

Ana: 146 pounds (-109, 42.75%) – a high starting mark to beat for somebody who left in week 1
Courtney: 213 pounds (-110, 34.06%)
Marci: 152 pounds (-86, 36.13%)
Dan: 163 pounds (-124, 43.21%)
Don: 179 pounds (-130, 42.07%)
Q: 344 pounds (-93, 21.28%)
Larialmy: 217 pounds (-84, 27.91%)
Moses: 287 pounds (-153, 34.77%)
Kaylee: 179 pounds (-54, 23.17%) – 14 pounds gained since leaving campus in week 17
Ken: 219 pounds (-158, 41.91%)
Austin: 222 pounds (-174, 43.94%)
Sarah: 155 pounds (-106, 40.61%)
Deni: 131 pounds (-125, 48.83%) – excellent numbers for this season’s oldest female at age 59
Arthur: 344 pounds (-163, 32.15%)
Jesse: 210 pounds (-83, 28.33%)
Justin: 192 pounds (-173, 47.40%)
Jen: 164 pounds (-114, 41.01%)
Jay: 219 pounds (-181, 45.25%)
No Rulon (if anyone cares)

Deni is The Biggest Loser At Home winner. Well done. Her daughter looks like a completely different person, too.

Next we head into the battle for the top prize. As The Biggest Loser on campus, Irene will decide the order.

Before we get into the final weigh in, it’s time to announce the newest trainer. Because three is not enough, apparently, even though two has been plenty for the past seven seasons. Anna Kournikova will be joining the show as of next season. Perhaps they’re getting rid of Brett and/or Cara. Who knows? What we do know is Bob’s not going anywhere.

Hannah: 128 pounds (-120, 48.39%)
Irene: 139 pounds (-116, 45.49%)
Olivia: 132 pounds (-129, 50.19%)

Beating out her sister, Olivia Ward is The Biggest Loser for season 11. Not to be outdone, her husband has lost 113 pounds.

With its continuing popularity on an otherwise lackluster network (thanks for cancelling The Event and Outsourced by the way), The Biggest Loser will be back in September.

The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 20

The girls continued to stick together in The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 19, leading to the elimination of Austin. That brings us down to on trainer per contestant.

It’s the final week heading into the final weigh in that two people will survive. The other two will have their fate in America’s hands.

The contestant who makes the best turkey burger will get $5,000 plus, for the guest of their choice, a two week stay at The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge. They’re going to be cooking for kids. I didn’t even know kids like turkey burgers. Time to break out the green slime and volcano burgers. The concept of healthy eating pretty much is going out the window here. Irene and Olivia only score a few votes. Hannah gets 22 kids with her cheesy burger, but Jay wins with 31 votes for his volcano burger.

Now they have one last challenge. They get a visit from season 10 winner Patrick. Each person has a golf bag filled with weighted flags representing the amount of weight they lost each week, which they must drop off at each station along the way. The winner will get a $15,000 at home gym. Everybody starts 100 pounds or so heavier. After the first station, Olivia calls for a medic. Hannah grabs the lead. Around week 8, they’re able to jog a bit. Irene hopes to catch up to Hannah. Jay figures he’ll probably end up in last, but at least he’ll finish. Hannah keeps her lead throughout the challenge and wins. Although only Hannah gets the complete gym, they will all be receiving an arc trainer.

This season has not been significantly longer than some of the earlier seasons, but those extra few weeks are making the transformations we see throughout this challenge that much more impressive. Even Jay, who started out at 400 pounds, should be under 200 by the finale. Their finale weight is likely to be their bottom weight, from which they’ll go up to varying degrees, so the more time they have on the ranch or for that matter even in the at home competition, the better.

1 hour left, and it’s time for the weigh in. How are you gonna fill that? I’m half expecting a 90 minute The Voice, but know that’s not going to happen.

Irene: 144 pounds (-3, 2.04%)
Jay: 242 pounds (-4, 1.63%)
Olivia: 149 pounds (-4, 2.61%)
Hannah: 146 pounds (-4, 2.67%) – over 100 pounds lost (the third woman to lose more than 100 pounds, alongside the other two final four females)

That puts Olivia and Hannah in the final three, marking the first time two sisters have gotten that far together. Jay and Irene will now compete for America’s votes. Irene leaves the house as The Biggest Loser on campus.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 21, when we will find out who The Biggest Loser 11 winner is, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on NBC.

The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 19

With quitters causing the need to buy more time, nobody was sent home in The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 18.

They will be getting a health test from their trainers. The best grade gets $10,000.

First up is the spin test with Bob. Irene knows how to spin, but she doesn’t know how to explain it. Bob gives her a 72, which is better than she expected. Olivia scores a perfect 100. Jay has him remove the seat. The lack of safety nets him a 58. Austin does a really good job and gets a 95. Like her sister, Hannah gets a 100.

Professor Brett has a science test for them. Hannah scores a 77, getting the general idea but missing basic questions like the difference between simple and complex carbs. Irene gets an 80. Olivia comes in above her with an 83. Austin scores an 82. Jay comes out on top with an 88.

Cara’s presumbly going to box the contestants. Well, that was boringly predictable. She scores them based on whether they are fighters. Irene gets a 70. Olivia gets another 100. Jay gets a 95, and so does Austin. In spite of the joking and laughing that she was warned not to do, Hannah gets a 92.

Jillian has a role playing exam. She will be the contestant, and they will be the motivators. She’ll say what they say to her, and their job is to be her. Irene doesn’t emotionally connect, and she wasn’t able to get Jillian to do so either, so she gets an 85. Jay gets a 90. Austin didn’t give a how to but had a good attitude, so he got an 85. Olivia’s positivity is good enough for an 89. Hannah scores a 90.

The final final exam is to play The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout on Xbox 360, which actually looks to be a somewhat viable workout routine. Their task is to match the movements on each exercise. First place gets 100 points, second gets 90, and so on down to 60. This could be a make or break test. Based on the current standings, Irene and Jay have no hope of winning the competition, as they are more than 40 points behind the current leader, Olivia. First they must do sumo jump squats for 5 minutes. This is followed by high knee jump rope, skating, and standing mountain climbers. Jay gives up in the first round, and Austin’s not far behind him. It comes down to the sisters. With that said, because she led by more than 10 points, Olivia’s got this in the bag regardless of the fact that Hannah wins this final round. By 3 points, Olivia wins $10,000.

The challenge is to use 100 sandbags to make their way to the top of the steps. The winner gets a 1 pound advantage. Every 25 bags, they can make their way up to the next level. Olivia’s in first place, followed by Austin and Irene. Austin gets a bit of a lead as they head into the third step. The girls hope one of them will win, as 1 pound for them is a huge deal, but this seems to be a guy’s challenge to lose. Olivia’s keeping things competitive, though, but ultimately Austin wins the challenge.

Even the Subway commercial is a challenge. Whoever gets closest to the number of calories in a sweet onion chicken teriyaki sub wins a $500 Subway gift card. With her precise guess of 380 calories, Hannah is the winner.

Alison has one final test. Would Olivia like to exchange her $10,000 for a 1 pound advantage? Would Austin like to exchange his 1 pound advantage for $10,000? The pound is a lot bigger deal for Olivia than it is for Austin, but it could mean the difference between staying and going for either of them. Austin will keep the pound. Olivia will keep the $10,000, although she’s less convinced than Austin that her decision is the right one.

Hannah: 150 pounds (-4, 2.60%)
Irene: 147 pounds (-5, 3.29%)
Jay: 246 pounds (-9, 3.53%)
Olivia: 153 pounds (-5, 3.16%)
Austin: 235 pounds (-1, -1, 0.85%)

Olivia’s decision to not take the 1 pound, a decision Jillian did not hide being angry about, nearly knocked her under the yellow line with her sister, but she was saved by Austin’s low number. Obviously, Austin will be eliminated rather than Hannah.

Votes
Olivia: Austin
Jay: Austin

With 2 votes, Austin is not The Biggest Loser, thereby eliminating all contestants who started off campus with the secret trainers. From his starting weight of 396 pounds, Austin is now down 166 pounds to 230.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 20, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on NBC.

The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 18

In spite of being only an hour long, The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 17 was not uneventful. First, Rulon decided to quit, in spite of still weighing a hefty 300+ pounds. Then Kaylee was voted out.

They are greeted by Tim Gunn, which means one thing: it’s makeover week. Needless to say, with a 1 hour show again, they’re going to be skipping through fairy tale themed transformations and “surprise” family visits pretty quickly.

So after the makeover, they head to the beach. Alison thinks they might look better in a brand new Mazda 5. They are on the beach with 50 Mazda shaped sand castles. They’ll have to dig up keys and head a quarter mile down the pier. There is not just one car on offer but two. With five people left (I hadn’t even noticed it was that close to over), that leaves them with a 40% chance of winning a new car, the best odds I ever remember seeing. On her second attempt, Irene wins the first car, which she plans to give to her mom Ana. They’re half done in an hour. It’s beginning to seem like they have been Punk’d as the keys dwindle. With the second to last key, Olivia wins the other car.

Then it’s time for the weigh in. The boys better just hope neither of them fall below the yellow line.

Hannah: 154 pounds (-2, 1.28%)
Jay: 255 pounds (-3, 1.16%)
Austin: 236 pounds (-7, 2.88%)
Irene: 152 pounds (-2, 1.30%)
Olivia: 158 pounds (-4, 2.47%) – over 100 pounds lost, and singing

Fairy godfather Tim Gunn is back with his third gift. No yellow line, so nobody is going home this week. Make the most of your third chance, Jay.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 19, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on NBC.

The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 17

In a rarity for this season, nobody said they wanted to go home in The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 16. If the previews are to be believed, that will be a short lived change, and somebody will be quitting tonight “for the first time ever.” I think they’re taking liberties with the term to quit. This whole season has been a frustrating pattern of people throwing weigh ins so that they can be sent home or raising their hand to volunteer to leave. I count Moses, Hannah, Justin, Kaylee, Marci, Marci again, Marci again, Jesse, Deni, Jay, Irene, Don, Larialmy, Dan, Don again, and Ana on the list of those who have gained weight on purpose and/or asked to be sent home, sometimes so their children could stay, sometimes so other people’s children could stay, sometimes just simply because “it’s too hard” (you’ll live). (Even the crew stopped working for two weeks this season.) Seriously, people, if you don’t want to be on the show, save a spot for somebody who does.

Leaving behind the ranting for a moment, we start off the show with a visit from Ali and Sam. Ali wrote a book and speaks about her experiences across the country. Sam is a personal trainer at The Biggest Loser Resort. They’re there to do some training and cooking.

Rulon says he’s within 15 pounds of his goal weight. Yeah, but wrestling build or not, he’s still over 300 pounds.

Next we head to the race track where Tara beat the boys pulling cars. Speaking of which, Tara started a foundation for childhood obesity, and she’s back today to relive the challenge. The winner will get their face on a box of Wheaties plus $5,000. Oh, and they also get VIP tickets to a NASCAR race. Tara knows her competition is the gold medalist. In the final stretch, Austin makes a run for it. As the finish line approaches, Tara’s looking to make it a photo finish. They’ll have to check the cameras to find out who won. If I had my choice, I’d go with Tara. And so it shall be. By mere inches, Tara wins the challenge.

Cara and Rulon start chatting at last chance training. He doesn’t care whether he’s eliminated or not.

After 4 months and 98 pounds lost, Irene is nonetheless reluctant to accept that she’s worth something.

Before the weigh in starts, Rulon has an announcement. This is his last time on the scale. He would like to leave for personal reasons. That’s it. No explanations. Really, dude? Good. Go then. He walks out. There are contestants who started this journey at lower than 301 pounds, but Rulon has convinced himself that he’s finished/healthy at that weight. He arrived at that conclusion because he’s almost at his competition weight. Whatever. Let’s just be glad the challenge victory/prize went to the right person.

So, with that out of the way, let’s move on to the weigh in and prepare for another elimination.

Irene: 154 pounds (-3, 1.91%) – over 100 pounds lost
Kaylee: 165 pounds (+2, 1.23%)
Austin: 243 pounds (-7, 2.80%)
Olivia: 162 pounds (-6, 3.57%)
Jay: 258 pounds (-7, 2.64%)
Hannah: 156 pounds (-5, 3.11%)

Having gained weight again, Kaylee finds herself below the yellow line alongside Irene. Irene’s a much bigger threat, but she has a tight alliance with Hannah and Olivia, which is all she needs to remain safe.

Votes
Hannah: Kaylee
Austin: Irene
Olivia: Kaylee

In the event of a tie, the person with the lowest percentage of weight loss is eliminated. With two votes, Kaylee is not The Biggest Loser. From her starting weight of 233 pounds, Kaylee is now down 68 pounds to 165 pounds, where she has decided to maintain her weight. Not having dated previously, she is now going out with Vance, who attempted to get on the ranch in the lame/ill-fated twist in week 13.

Two eliminations in an hour, and it didn’t feel rushed. Was that so hard? Up next: a new X Factor ripoff (which was a ripoff of Pop Idol). Yeah, I’ll watch. Can’t be any worse than this season of American Idol.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 18, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on NBC.

The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 16

Moses became the latest person to ask to be voted out in The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 15.

The contestants have made it all the way to singles. Oh, and remember how Brett got kicked off the show? Yeah, that was just for a week and a little bit of lame drama.

Since they’re still in New Zealand, they get to have some more scary experiences. Kaylee and Hannah will be doing a canyon swing with Cara at 109 meters high and 150 km/hour.

Kaylee says that the reason she stopped losing weight is because her father ate bad things, which she could not say no to. We’re three months in. If she hasn’t learned by now, I’m not sure how she’s going to learn just because he’s gone for now. Sure, perhaps she’ll be good for the rest of her time on the ranch, but that doesn’t help her when she goes home.

Olivia’s mad at Rulon for voting for her last week. Sorry to say it, but he made the right decision, although it was a short-sighted one considering it was obvious where the vote was headed.

The challenge is to riverboard half a mile. The winner will go to Milford Sound via helicopter plus get individual immunity. Before that, though, even Alison gets in on the action, bungee jumping off the bridge. Since they will need some ability to swim, Austin’s got no hope. Olivia’s off to a good lead with Hannah behind her. Kaylee and Rulon are behind them. Whatever happens, the girls just don’t want Rulon to win, assuming they’re going to have a chance to pick him off. In a less drama free conclusion than the editors would have liked, Olivia wins. She brings Hannah with her, although Hannah’s worried about the lack of a workout this will mean.

Brett has decided to take Jay and Austin rock climbing up the side of a mountain. There’s a weight limit, but they’re under that mark by this point.

Bob’s task for Irene and Rulon is bungee jumping 43 meters off a bridge. They’re on their own this time, though. He already did the sky jump. For Rulon, this is particularly not something he wants to do because this is the 4 year anniversary of a plane crash he was in. However, he is willing to jump for his first and probably last time.

It’s time for the first individual weigh in. The two players with the lowest percentage of weight loss will fall below the yellow line.

Olivia: 168 pounds (-4, 2.33%, immune)
Jay: 265 pounds (-5, 1.85%)
Irene: 157 pounds (-4, 2.48%)
Rulon: 301 pounds (-10, 3.22%)
Austin: 250 pounds (-5, 1.96%)
Ken: 243 pounds (-4, 1.62%)
Hannah: 161 pounds (-3, 1.83%)
Kaylee: 163 pounds (-5, 2.98%)

Hannah and Ken have fallen below the yellow line. The two people who complained about being too tired are the two people who placed at the bottom. The guys need to team up while they can because there’s an unbreakable alliance of three girls. For a change, nobody asks to go home.

Votes
Austin: Hannah
Olivia: Ken
Irene: Ken
Kaylee: Hannah
Jay: Ken

With 3 votes, Ken is not The Biggest Loser. He plans to return to New Zealand to help fight obesity.

The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 15

Falling below the yellow line in The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 14 as the last remaining member of her team, Courtney was eliminated, along with her trainer Brett.

For the next two weeks, the contestants are heading to New Zealand. This is pretty much where they go to scare everybody. Get ready to jump off cliffs and bridges.

One person will be upgraded from economy to premium economy based on guessing at a simple question. How tall is the Sky Tower in Auckland? My guess: most of these people don’t even know what country Auckland is in. The correct answer is 1,076 feet tall, and Austin is the closest.

The Sky Tower is the highest structure in the southern hemisphere. It is also the site of their first adventure. Cara is there waiting for them. There’s an elevator going up, but that’s for regular people. They will be taking the 1027 stairs up. Bob greets them at the top. There are two ways down: climb back down the stairs or be dropped off the tower like Jillian is warning them not to do. The 280 pound weight limit eliminates Moses and Rulon, and Jay’s heart condition eliminates him. Everybody else but one is up for it. Ken doesn’t have any interest in facing his fear of heights, but Bob makes him an offer to face the fear together, hoping he’ll say no anyway. No such luck. They’ll both be jumping.

For Moses, this is a special place. His father was shipped off to New Zealand for school, and it was there that he decided to go to the United States.

After they get done jumping off the building, they get on a boat that raced in America’s Cup.

Ken wants to address some concerns he has before they workout. He’s not sure he is on the right path. His suggestion to Cara: Bob and Jillian are the experts, and maybe he should be with them. Already trying to prove herself as the new girl on campus, Cara takes this perhaps as angrily as can be expected. At least for today, he’s all hers, as the rest of the green team has joined Bob and Jillian for now.

Their next challenge is a 5K… New Zealand style. No treadmills this time. Rather, they will be heading through creeks, sand dunes, and the beach. They will run as a team, so they have to stick together. A helicopter ride awaits the winning team. Green team takes off quickly. As big as he is, Rulon’s leading his team nonetheless, but they’re only as fast as their weakest link. Jay’s hamstring starts acting up. He doesn’t want to give up or walk, but he’s not going to be able to run either. The blue team’s starting to catch up as they hit the sand dunes, which are no longer about who can run fastest. It’s here that the blue team has the opportunity to pass the green team as Ken falls behind on the hill. Now it’s a question of whether he can make up for it in the run. Black team, meanwhile, makes it up the hill with the other teams in sight. In the end, the blue team wins the challenge. Olivia and Irene have decided to let Moses go on the helicopter with his daughter.

As they head into the last chance workout, Bob warns them that trips are notoriously bad news for weight loss.

Olivia: 172 pounds (-2, 1.15%)
Irene: 161 pounds (-3, 1.83%)
Moses: 286 pounds (no change)
Blue Total: 619 pounds (-5, 0.80%)

Jay: 272 pounds (+2, 0.74%)
Rulon: 311 pounds (-7, 2.20%)
Hannah: 164 pounds (-4, 2.38%)
Black Total: 747 pounds (-9, 1.19%)

Kaylee: 172 pounds (+4, 2.38%)
Austin: 255 pounds (-8, 3.04%)
Ken: 247 pounds (-6, 2.37%)
Green Total: 674 pounds (-10, 1.46%)

For Jay, this marks his first hiccup throughout the competition. Even after a few months, Kaylee and Moses both continue to struggle when they’re outside the familiar environment of The Biggest Loser campus. Ultimately, the weight gains from two of the contestants didn’t matter, as big numbers from some of the players outweighed the smaller numbers the blue team put up.

With Irene being The Biggest Loser on her team, she is immune. That means it’s between Olivia and Moses. A tearful Olivia tells us she should stay because she wants to be a mother. At 5’9″, she’s within spitting distance of a healthy weight, whereas Moses still has a good 100 pounds to drop. Who needs to be here more? Crying or not, I go with Moses. Nonetheless, hearing this story, Moses has decided to leave. Whether they do it for noble reasons or not, I’m tired of these people quitting every week.

Votes
Hannah: Moses
Jay: Moses

The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 14

Jen hit a plateau and was eliminated in The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 13 after losing no weight, which according to her trainer was because she did not have a workout with him.

Although her team is now gone, Courtney asks Olivia, Hannah, and Irene to support her.

Each team will have a flag. The team that plants their flag closest to a mile away will win. Their reward will be a night of luxury, Hollywood style. For anyone who does not win, they will have to clean the campus. They all depend upon the assumption that they know how long their paces are. Green team based their decision on Ken’s paces. Courtney is alone, doing her own thing. Black team tries to have one person doing normal paces while the others try to count footsteps, but the two going slowly realize halfway through that they don’t have the time to do that. Blue team will all be trying to do their own paces and go from there. Olivia hits her mark. Irene’s still got a couple hundred to go, so they proceed forward. Moses is way behind when he hits his spot, but they can’t see nor hear him when he tries to stop. Green team did not win. Courtney did not win either. The difference between first and second place is 4 feet. Black team wins, in spite of their fear that they were 1/4 of a mile off their target.

Bob’s happy with the fact that his team has to clean. Good way to burn calories. Black team joins him in the gym, minus Rulon. That means Rulon’s getting a lecture from Jillian. His justification for eating junk is that he wants it, and he works hard. While his concept is not flawed, 900 calories of chips is excessive. Although Jillian would prefer he reward himself with non-food things, she’s willing to work with him and teach him to eat in moderation.

During the training session, the black team has decided to hide their reward from Jillian until the last possible second. They are not at all surprised to find out that she considers their prize to be more of a punishment.

The black team goes to Hollywood to see the sights. Of course, along the way, they have to stop by Geisha House, Mike Boogie’s restaurant. While there, they seem to make smart choices. In the middle of dinner, a guy walks up to meet them, or at least to meet Hannah. If that wasn’t his intention, it is now, as Jay and Rulon decide to leave them alone. Very subtle. Hannah has now decided she feels comfortable saying she’s pretty.

Courtney’s worried that she’ll continue with her plateau. If she’s below the yellow line, she’s gone, no need for a vote. Then she wonders what will happen to Brett. I’m sure they’ll find something to do with him, although I never could quite figure out why there are two new trainers this season.

Hannah: 168 pounds (-4, 2.33%)
Jay: 270 pounds (-6, 2.17%)
Rulon: 318 pounds (-7, 2.15%)
Black Total: 756 pounds (-17, 2.20%)

Olivia: 174 pounds (-2, 1.14%)
Moses: 286 pounds (-7, 2.39%)
Irene: 164 pounds (-6, 3.53%)
Blue Total: 624 pounds (-15, 2.35%)

Ken: 253 pounds (-4, 1.56%)
Kaylee: 168 pounds (-1, 0.59%)
Austin: 263 pounds (-2, 0.75%)
Green Total: 684 pounds (-7, 1.01%)

Courtney: 231 pounds (-1, 0.43%)

Black and blue teams did well, but the green team put up lackluster numbers. In spite of that, Courtney’s struggles mark the third red team member elimination in a row, as she is automatically eliminated because she is the last team member standing. She retains her positive mental attitude, in spite of all the emotions from the trainers, fellow contestants, even Alison. She departs with three friends for life. But she’s not the only person leaving tonight. With nobody left to train, Brett will have to say goodbye as well.

From her starting weight of 323 pounds, Courtney is down 113 pounds to 210 pounds today, for a grand total loss of 225 pounds. Her family owns a Dairy Queen, and she hopes that DQ will be able to get more healthy choices on the menu. More power to her, and certainly the market is potentially there, though I just don’t think of Dairy Queen and healthy in the same sentence.
