Alexandra White
Age: 20
Height: 5’8″
Hometown: Harrisburg, PA
Occupation: College Student

NBC Bio
Alexandra has a will to succeed. She is currently a full-time student getting an MBA in accounting. She participates in many leadership roles on campus such as the co-ed business fraternity and the dance team.

Growing up was not easy for Alexandra. Her father left when she was young and she turned to food for comfort. Since obesity runs in the family, Alexandra never had any knowledge of how to control her weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. In her family food was a celebration; for good grades they went out to dinner, for good behavior she got a snack. Alexandra was not aware that food would be such a detriment to her future.

At 20 years of age, Alexandra finds herself saddened that she cannot enjoy her life as a college student due to her weight. She cannot fit into the seats at her school, nor can she slip on a dress and enjoy a night out with her friends. When her friends ask her to go to the beach or on a spring break trip she makes up an excuse to save her the embarrassment.

Alexandra’s motivation is the future that lies ahead of her. She still has three more college years to live, a job to succeed in and she really wants to help her mother get her weight on track. Her mother is a huge motivation for doing “The Biggest Loser,” and at 40 she believes that she cannot lose weight. Alexandra wants her mother to see with her own eyes that it is possible.

Abby Rike
Age: 35
Height: 5’4″
Hometown: Mabank, TX
Occupation: Teacher

NBC Bio
Abby is loyal to a fault, hardworking, a vivacious lover of life who avoids conflict and likes everyone to get along. She faced an enormous tragedy in October 2006. In light of losing her beloved husband, 5½ year-old daughter and 2½ week-old son in a fatal car crash, she chooses to forge ahead. She has been searching for a way to finally get back to a “normal” life and feels this will happen when she loses the weight.

Abby has been on various diets since the sixth grade when her mother, who has also always been overweight, recommended that she lose a few pounds. Her weight has gone up and down for years and since the accident she has gained even more rapidly, using food as her way of coping with her losses.

She is high school teacher and is a favorite amongst the students, often being requested by students that are not even required to take her classes. She enjoys inspiring students to achieve their personal bests, but often feels like a hypocrite since she is not doing the same. Abby recently went back to school and graduated with a Master’s of Education degree maintaining a 4.0 grade point average. Abby desperately wants to live a healthy lifestyle enabling her to make the most of the next step in her new “normal” life.

The Biggest Loser 8 hasn’t even started yet, but that’s not stopping them from casting for The Biggest Loser 9. Season 9 will feature family teams of two.

While they will try to see everyone, “The Biggest Loser” casting teams will do their best to see the first 500 people in line. People will not be allowed to line up prior to three hours before the start of the open call. Candidates should bring a non-returnable photo of them and their partner.

The Biggest Loser 3 Winner

Father and son Ron Morelli and Mike Morelli, the last remaining team, fell below the yellow line in the final weigh-in in The Biggest Loser Couples 2 Episode 18. America’s vote will save one of them and put him in the final three with Tara Costa and Helen Phillips.

Tonight’s show is three hours. Three hours? Seriously? It normally takes an hour to weigh in the final four with a two hour show. How much more filler can you possibly add? It’s not like there’s a lot to cover. Apparently NBC is desperately waiting for Leno.

The first order of business is to find out who America voted for. Unsurprisingly, America has picked Mike. He looks like he’s down around 50%, so he should prove to be stiff competition. Now that we’ve found that out, we know the final three, and one of them will be The Biggest Loser season 7 winner.

Allison has a new twist for tonight. Two people are competing for the final spot on next season’s show, and America will be able to choose who should make it. The first contestant is Erinn, a senior in college who weighs 239 pounds. She recently ended a relationship of two years, not wanting her boyfriend to look at her or touch her. The second contestant is Amanda, a 19 year old who weighs 257 pounds. She didn’t bother to go to prom because she didn’t think anybody liked her, but she tries to hide behind a smile. Bob and Jillian are in a backstage gym waiting for them.

Jerry has dropped from a 62 inch waist to a 39 inch waist and eliminated all of his diseases and medicine (including the medicine that caused him to collapse the first show).

Nicole hopes to get into her wedding dress tonight, a size 8.

Over 166,000 people pledged their weight loss to support the Pound for Pound Challenge. In total, they pledged 2.9 million pounds so far. Continuing this project, for every pound pledged this summer, General Mills will donate one pound of food up to 1 million pounds.

Now it’s time to start the weigh-in for the at home prize.

Estella: 159 pounds (-83, 34.30%)

Jerry: 192 pounds (-177, 47.97%)

Damien: 245 pounds (-136, 35.70%)

Nicole: 146 pounds (-123, 45.72%)

Carla has apparently decided she no longer hates Joelle.

Sione: 226 pounds (-146, 39.25%)

Filipe: 229 pounds (-135, 37.09%)

Carla: 251 pounds (-128, 33.77%)

Joelle: 229 pounds (-80, 25.89%)

Jerry came from left field here as someone who probably surprised a lot of people. At 64 years old, he’s still got the lead after about half the others have weighed in.

Blaine: 249 pounds (-116, 31.78%)

Dane: 258 pounds (-154, 37.38%)

Mandi: 171 pounds (-92, 34.98%)

Aubrey: 194 pounds (-55, 22.09%)

Aubrey’s current weight reflects a 3 pound gain from when she left campus.

Cathy: 198 pounds (-95, 32.42%)

Kristin: 193 pounds (-167, 46.39%)

David: 350 pounds (-42, 10.71%)

Dan: 312 pounds (-142, 31.28%)

People were questioning Dan’s commitment when they kicked him off the show, but he’s done a great job on his own, although his partner has struggled.

Laura: 199 pounds (-86, 30.18%)

Shanon: 191 pounds (-92, 32.51%)

Ron: 238 pounds (-192, 44.65%)

Nicole, Kristin, and Ron gave him a run for his money, but the oldest contestant in the show’s history, Jerry, who left in week two, has managed to lose the most weight at home and win the $100,000 prize.

We’re two hours through, and yet this has not been much more fillerific than usual. With one hour left, though, here comes the filler. An hour to weigh three people.

Tara’s coming off her record breaking season. She won 12 challenges (the most for anyone), lost 135 pounds on campus (the most ever for a woman), and never fell below the yellow line for 18 straight weeks.

Tara has decided the weigh-in will be in order from lowest percentage of weight loss to highest percentage of weight loss on campus.

Before that, though, America’s vote has decided who will appear on the next season. Amanda has been chosen.

Now it’s time for the final weigh-in of the season, and all three of them look like they’ve made great progress.

Helen: 117 pounds (-140, 54.47%)

Mike: 181 pounds (-207, 53.35%)

Tara: 139 pounds (-155, 52.72%)

For the third season in a row, there is a female Biggest Loser. Helen Phillips is The Biggest Loser Couples 2 winner. If NBC had written this script, I’d imagine they would have ended it differently, but Helen deserves credit for a job well done.

The Biggest Loser may be in its 7th season, but it’s proving increasingly to be one of NBC’s biggest successes. It came as no surprise when NBC renewed the show for season 8.

Filipe was voted out in The Biggest Loser Couples 2 Episode 17.

The final four contestants will be heading home for 30 days before returning for one final weigh-in before the finale.

Mike’s afraid of returning to his old habits, including his biggest problem, the fast food restaurants, which for some reason need to be blurred out by the show, as does the non-show sponsor gym 100 yards away from the fast food place he used to work.

Helen starts going through her closet. Are the pants hers or her husband’s?

Ron hopes for a better life with his family, including his sons that he’s enabled to become 400 pounds. Mike now enjoys exercising, but they need to work on his other son Max.

Tara is ready to start living. She heads right away to her favorite restaurant from before she left, where she’s hoping to be able to make smarter choices.

On day 4, Mike’s hungry all the time. Tara misses Jillian already.

Tara has decided to give her $25,000 kitchen makeover to her mom.

As with the last time they went home, they’ve received some packages from The Biggest Loser. They get DVDs from Allison. In 26 days, they will all run a marathon. For real. With no producers giving them a ride the last 6 miles (apparently). The last time they went home, they all had to run half a marathon, which they did sucessfully (Ron notwithstanding).

Jillian will surprise her people and pay them a visit. Mike had better be at the gym, or there will be hell to pay. He is at the gym, and he’s there with his brother Max. He’s doing okay. Not amazing. Actually, not even okay. He says the marathon is stressing him out because it’s constantly in the back of his mind, and he also has a lot to focus on with worrying about not only his goals but his brother as well. Jillian’s lesson for him is that he doesn’t need to make his brother better just to feel better himself. He needs to allow himself to feel the pain of what he’s been through.

Then she heads to see Tara, whose room is a disaster. She’s gone from one extreme to another and needs to find some balance. Jillian’s plan: go workout and then go get a drink. One drink and one dessert won’t kill her, as long as she doesn’t go too far back in that direction.

Now it’s Bob’s turn. He stops off to see Ron. Like everybody else, he’s stressed out about the marathon. Bob doesn’t think he should put his body through that stress. His previous half marathon effort ended at the 4 mile mark, but he says he’s going to give it a shot. While he’s there, Bob wants to help out Max, who he sees as the third member of the brown team. Could have done without seeing the vomit. Once they’re done with the workout, Bob sends him out to get whatever it is he would normally eat on the weekend. He gets a double cheeseburger, large chocolate shake, and french fries. Not as bad as I would have expected. Bob cuts his meal in half and tells him that would be sufficient, but instead he will eat at Subway.

Jillian’s last stop is Helen’s house. She’s at a restaurant where she got fat, realizing she can’t eat a lot from that menu. Same strategy as with Tara: give her a drink. Helen says that she’s so tired, but she has to keep going.

The full marathon will take them across 26.2 miles of farmland, mountains, hiking trails, and the Pacific Ocean coastline. If they finish the marathon, they will receive $10,000 to donate to the charity of their choice. Due to an injury 4 days before the marathon, Mike has been instructed by the doctors to not run, but he will participate anyway and will be walking. At mile marker 4, their loved ones are there to join them for as long as they can. Even Max has decided to join in the walk alongside his brother. He gets in about 4 miles, a good amount over the tough terrain considering he’s over 400 pounds. Ron’s knees are starting to bother him about mile 5. Eventually, Ali Vincent from season 5 joins Tara for a bit, and she says she’s been inspired by her. As for Helen, she gets a visit from Michelle Aguilar from season 6, the second person to prove this is not just a man’s game. Mike gets a visit from Bernie from season 5, who won the at home prize. Bernie tells him that he’s still going to finish 26.2 miles, whether he’s walking it or not, so he should give himself some credit. Jillian’s waiting at mile 25, and she’s not surprised that Tara is the first person she sees. Tara hopes Jillian can keep up. She crosses the finish line in a time of 4:55:09. Helen has also finished, and she crosses the finish line in 5:48:45. Mike is done as well, and he crosses at 8:58:03.

Ron is still on the course, somewhere. At mile 16, he’s being tended to by the paramedics due to elevated blood pressure that came on all of a sudden, as well as continuing pain in his knee. Dr. H leaves it up to him whether he wants to continue. If he has to stop and rest for an hour, that’s what he’ll do. At mile 17, he’s greeted by the whole lot of previous Biggest Loser contestants, and they’re all going to walk with him to the finish to make sure he arrives. Then Bob joins him at mile 21, and eventually the other contestants join in as well, walking through the night. Ron ends up completing the marathon and crosses the finish line at 13 hours 16 minutes. He’s come quite a long way even since just week 11 and the half marathon.

It’s time for one final weigh-in after having been home for 30 days. The two people with the highest weight loss will be guaranteed a spot in the final three, and America will choose from whoever falls below the yellow line.

Ron: 279 pounds (-10, 3.46%)

Mike: 214 pounds (-10, 4.46%)

Helen: 147 pounds (-7, 4.55%)

Tara: 159 pounds (-10, 5.92%)

Helen and Tara are in the final three, leaving America to decide between Mike and his father Ron. As much credit as Ron deserves for going as far as he’s gone, the finale would not be complete without Mike, who’s lost the most weight in the history of the show. Ron asks for America to vote for his son. Mike says he’d be okay either way.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of The Biggest Loser 7 Episode 19, where we will find out who The Biggest Loser Couples 2 winner is, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on NBC.

In a tie vote, Kristin was voted out in The Biggest Loser Couples 2 Episode 16.

Allison shows everybody a video that lets them see how far they’ve come. Then she tells them this is their last week on campus.

Their workout is a trip back as well, showing them how much easier everything is now than it used to be.

Then Tara and Helen put on some clothes that they never thought they’d fit in. Mike also realizes that he’s able to fit into his goal outfit already.

After that, it’s a visit to the doctor. Helen has lost 106 pounds of hydrated fat, and her biological age has decreased from 60 to 50. Filipe has dropped from 58 inches to 43. Mike is down from a 65 inch waist (he thought it was 56 inches) and has dropped 54% of the area of his waist now. Ron couldn’t even fit in the MRI machine the first time. In addition to his fat loss, his blood tests are now normal.

Today’s challenge is to run over 16 hills of sand while pulling all the weight they used to weigh. They will start off with all their weight that they initially weighed, removing the weight they lost that week at the top of each hill. The winner will get $10,000 or a 1 pound advantage. The second place finisher will get whichever prize the winner doesn’t take. Filipe gets off to an early lead, followed by Mike. Tara’s stuck on the first hill, struggling to even lift the weight she’s lost. After the fourth hill, she overtakes Helen to get into third place. Mike takes the lead at week 7, and Tara goes into second on that same hill, leaving Filipe behind. Tara grabs the lead as she approaches the end and doesn’t look back. She wins the challenge, and Mike comes in second. As with the first challenge, Mike heads back to help his dad finish this challenge.

It’s train the trainer day. Bob loves the chance to be pushed, and he wants to see Jillian scream and cry.

The final five contestants have lost over 600 pounds in what’s been the longest season ever. Now it’s their chance to earn themselves a spot in the final four. First, Tara needs to make a decision. Unlike last week, Tara takes the pound, which gives Mike $10,000.

Ron: 289 pounds (-9, 3.02%)

Filipe: 234 pounds (-10, 4.10%)

Helen: 154 pounds (-7, 4.35%)

Mike: 224 pounds (-11, 4.68%)

Tara: 169 pounds (-8, -1, 5.08%)

Tara now holds the record for the most weight lost by a woman on the show, while Mike holds the overall record.

That puts Ron and Filipe below the yellow line, despite having strong weeks. The choice here is obvious.

Votes
Mike: Filipe
Helen: Filipe

With two votes, Filipe is not The Biggest Loser. He initially plateaued when he got home but has lost 13 pounds since getting back. A few weeks after his return, his dad had a stroke, which has inspired him to start weekly workouts with his family and friends at his house.

For everybody else, they will be going home for 30 days, and then they will return for one more weigh-in before the finale.

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

After she injured her hip, Laura was voted out in The Biggest Loser Couples 2 Episode 15.

Tara realizes she’s now all alone in the house.

At the weigh-in, Jillian told Mike that he should send Laura home.

At the challenge, the contestants are greeted by the editor-in-chief of Good Housekeeping for a fitness and food trivia quiz. The winner will get a trip to New York City for a private tour.

According to the packaging, how many servings are in the 7.5 inch pizza? 1, 2, 4, or 8?
The correct answer is 8. Nobody is right. The pizza has close to 2000 calories in it, even though it looks like a personal size pizza.

Which fat is the heart healthiest to use in cooking? Butter, vegetable oil, olive oil, or trans-fat free margarine?
Olive oil is correct. Everybody but Ron gets a point.

Which ground meat has the least amount of fat? Extra lean ground beef, ground chicken, ground turkey breast, ground veal, or lean ground turkey?
Ground turkey breast is correct. It has only about 1% fat. Ron, Mike, and Kristin are correct.

How many extra steps do people who wear a pedometer walk daily? 150, 700, 1100, or 2000?
2000 is the correct answer. I don’t even want to know where they got that figure from. Ron, Mike, Helen, and Kristin are correct with their guesses.

That ties Mike and Kristin for the lead.

How many calories are in the fried fast food fish sandwich with tartar sauce?
Kristin guesses 435 calories. Mike goes with 635. The correct answer is 640, and Mike wins the challenge.

Because of their performance at the challenge, Bob gives his team a camera to film what they eat for the day.

It’s time for another challenge. Better not be afraid of heights. Each player will be in a cage suspended 45 feet above the ground. Each cage has a rope attached to it, and they will hold on to the other end of the rope to keep themselves up. The winner will get $10,000 or a 1 pound advantage. A pound this close to the end is huge. Mike is the first one out of the challenge. He says he let go because of fear of the height. Filipe’s strategy is to irritate people. He should be good at that. Ron is the next to fall when he slips. Eventually, Filipe decides to be an asshat and starts shaking the thing on purpose. Doesn’t work. He’s the next to fall. An hour in, Kristin falls. That leaves Helen against Tara. Helen wants to make a deal, but Tara doesn’t want any money. She knows Helen doesn’t want the money either. Helen asks: “Nothing touches you, does it?” What, she’s supposed to feel sorry for you and just quit? Helen falls. Tara wins the challenge.

Bob gets to view his team’s video meal diary. Their breakfast is low in calories. Too low. They made a good choice otherwise, but they could have had two. He also advises them that olive oil is healthy for them. Additionally, their lunch lacks protein. Then he disagrees with their snack choice of both fruit and nuts. So what about dinner? Is 7.5 ounces really going to feed all three of them?

During the last chance workout, Mike’s been pushed past his limit. He decides to punch the treadmill. Jillian wants him to communicate to his father to create better lines of communication and a new life together. This opens the door to the first conversation Ron and Mike have had about how Ron allowed his sons to get the same way as him.

Tara has chosen to take the $10,000. This close to the end?

Tara: 177 pounds (-5, 2.75%)

Ron: 298 pounds (-4, 1.32%)

Helen: 161 pounds (-1, 0.62%)

Mike: 235 pounds (-8, 3.29%)

Filipe: 244 pounds (-3, 1.21%)

Kristin: 244 pounds (+1, 0.41%)

That puts Kristin and Helen below the yellow line. Kristin’s the obvious target here. Ron agrees to live up to his promise to keep Kristin, but he can’t speak for Mike. Ron plans to do as he says so he can keep his word, but his interest lies in protecting his son. Can’t blame him.

Votes
Tara: Kristin
Filipe: Helen
Ron: Helen
Mike: Kristin

Because there was a tie, Kristin has been eliminated because she had the lowest percentage of weight loss. She says that Mike took the easy way out. As if she would have kept him around given the choice. Having learned a lot from her experience, she hopes to pay it forward and share it with anyone who will listen. Kristin has lost a total of 132 pounds since starting the show.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of The Biggest Loser 7 Episode 17, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on NBC.

Having won the temptation, Laura was given the sole vote in The Biggest Loser Couples 2 Episode 14. With it, she voted out Sione.

Filipe’s sick of seeing finales and watching Jillian win. Mostly because he hates her.

When they get to the challenge, they know they’re in trouble. Each player will cross 700 feet suspended above a canyon up to 110 feet in the air. The winner will receive a $25,000 kitchen makeover and a restocked fridge (apparently, the restocked fridge was worth mentioning). Ron calls it quits within about two seconds. Tara’s the first one to fall off, allowing Filipe to take a large lead. Tara finally recovers and retakes second place from Mike. She’s slowly getting the hang of things and starts catching up to Filipe, still a blue shirt she’s chasing just a different person wearing that blue shirt than usual. As they approach the finish line, Tara takes the lead. Tara wins the challenge in 9:14. Filipe’s a quitter and doesn’t bother finishing despite only having about 20 feet left to go. The others want to reach the end, though.

Tara’s not the only one getting a makeover. Everybody will be since this is makeover week. They’re greeted by Tim Gunn when they arrive at Macy’s, and for some reason they’re surprised by this. They’ll be dressing for a Hollywood movie premiere.

Mike will be okay as long as he doesn’t have to wear pink. Tara is reluctantly okay with the suggestion of showing a little more skin. Helen doesn’t remember the last time she got dressed up to go out. They all receive a $1,000 gift card in their bags. Once they’re done shopping, they go to Warren-Tricomi Salon in LA to get their hair done. The stylists want to get them out of their old habits.

When they arrive at the movie premiere, the contestants are surprised to see their families waiting for them. Helen feels beautiful for the first time in a long time. Tara is happy to see that her mom has been inspired by her, as her mother has lost 40 pounds. Tara’s gone blonder, while Laura’s gone red. Ron’s freshly shaved for the first time since his wife has known him. Their other son Max will hopefully be inspired by their success, as he’s got a few hundred pounds to drop at age 17. Mike promises they’ll help him out when they get back home.

The movie they’re watching is The Biggest Loser Movie. Not exactly what you would call a Hollywood movie premiere, but it’s nice for them to see their journey so far.

As much fun as they’ve had this week, they haven’t had a lot of time to get in workouts.

Jillian has a weird feeling about Laura, so she sends her to the doctor to check out her hip. She has a very early stress fracture, the most severe sports related they’ve ever seen on this show. If it gets worse, she’ll have to go into surgery. The doctor rules out anything that causes pain. She won’t be able to run for three months, and any other significant calorie burning exercise is probably out.

The final 7 have lost 765 pounds so far.

Mike: 243 pounds (-5, 2.02%), a new record

Ron: 302 pounds (-6, 1.95%)

Tara: 182 pounds (-4, 2.15%)

Filipe: 247 pounds (-5, 1.98%)

Helen: 162 pounds (-7, 4.14%)

Kristin: 243 pounds (-2, 0.82%)

Laura: 208 pounds (+3, 1.46%)

Kristin and Laura, who’s not even allowed to walk up to the scale, are below the yellow line. While voting out Kristin would make the most strategic sense, I’d assume the contestants will make the humane decision and vote out Laura. This close to the finish line, though, that makes a lot less sense than going with strategy. Despite the injury, Laura asks the others to vote as if she were not injured. Kristin knows she’s a bigger threat and begs the others to not vote her out because of that.

Votes
Tara: Kristin
Ron: Laura
Mike: Laura
Helen: Kristin
Filipe: Laura

With three votes, Laura has been eliminated. Despite her very slow start as the weakest link, Laura was doing well until her injury. She will be going home with the care of The Biggest Loser doctors. She meets with the doctor again and sees that everything is going in the right direction. She’s also working with a physical therapist. Laura is down from her starting weight of 285 pounds to 208 pounds today.
