Doesn't she get that way with one of her female team members every seaon.? But I wouldn't blame her, for Michelle is a cutie. She's going to looking so freaking awesome at the finale and she's going to win it all. Heba may think she's going to end up being the Biggest Loser, but my money is on Michelle.

Compared to the hard on Jillian had for Allie and Brittany, this is nothing. I fucking hate that Vicky is in the final and liked that Bob sort of called her out early on in this ep...however he bought her line of bull about being a changed person, even though she said it all with her shit eating grin. She hasn't changed one bit, she just realized it was worth it to LIE so that Bob would get off her back.
I hate most of the blue team, so I'm rooting for Michelle... I also voted for ED to be in the final - because Heba's video where she said America should vote for her because Ed will step aside because she wants it more, just PISSED ME OFF. Arrogant and rude. I also think Michelle can kick Ed's Yo-Yo'ing ass.

I absolutely hate the blue team this year too, and because of that I hate Bob this year.

I'm bummed (and I bet NBC is bummed) that both Ed and Heba fell below. It makes the voting a lot less interesting. Of course, I wanted to see Vicki below, because she would be gone if so.
If it is just the women (and I think Heba will win the vote) then Michelle seems like the clear favorite. She and Vicki entered at almost the same weight, somewhere in the 240s, so she just has to beat Vicki's weight, and that should be fairly easy. Heba came in at I think 290, so she needs to beat Heba by 25 pounds or so, and that also seems likely.

I casted every damn one of my votes ... and many more ... for Ed. I don't dislike Ed & Heba in the way that I dislike Vicky -- they aren't as conniving, but some of it has worn off on them. Honestly, the person who should be the most pissed was the lady that Ed beat out to come back into the house ... just so he could piss away somebody else's golden opportunity.
I don't think anybody stands a chance against Michelle. Vicky is too locked into the game and will NOT be able to go home and keep playing it. Ed & Heba have eachother for support, but they just have not shown the consistency needed (although they did win the meal plan).

Hopefully Michelle will pull it off tonight. Ideally, Colleen would win the $100K, but I have little hope of that happening. Probably one of the men who had a lot to lose will take the second prize.

YAY Michelle!!!
It was funny that America OVERWHELMINGLY voted for Ed to be in the final three. That blatant snub of Ed and Heba's wishes should be a message to the "power alliance."
at Vicky almost taking a tumble when she walked out on stage.

You (and America) just cost Heba 150 grand. Heba (46.9%) Michelle (45.5%) Thank You! She's gotta be ticked Gotta give her props though for I didn't think she would end up with a bigger percentage of weight loss than Michelle.
Michelle looked fantastic. Way to go. I was rooting for her and Colleen from the beginning. I was surpised that Colleen wasn't able to put up a bigger number than she did, even her Dad beat her out. His story was inspiring.
A couple of pairs that looked really good were Phillip & Amy and Shellay & Amy.
Next season's preview clip: that 19 year old tipping the scale at 471lbs I hope he's able to stick around at the ranch for a long time, for that boy needs some serious help

Congratulations Vicky, not only are you not the Biggest Loser but you are not the mother of the year either. Although, maybe her kids are better off at not seeing her every night because she is such a biotch.

Glad Michelle won and wasn't surprised that America voted for ED - it was Heba's arrogant video that sealed the deal. I was blown away with how great Jerry, Phil and Amy looked - just incredible.

This season has had the biggest number of wow transformations yet. Philip looked like a completely different person, and his wife looked amazing. Shellay... I never would have thought she had ever been overweight. And Amy C looked hot, but I always thought she was a naturally pretty girl and knew that if she dropped the weight she would be a knockout. Jerry surprised me, when he was booted I worried he was one of those contestants that would lose *some* weight at home, but nothing dramatic. I'm glad he proved me wrong.
And of course Michelle... great job and I'm thrilled Jillian won again. For whatever reason Bob's teams always seem to be the 'bad guys' to me, and I'm glad to see the good guys pull through in the end.
Even Vicky's transformation was impressive, but I get the feeling now that the show is over and the motivation for the money no longer a factor, she'll gradually slide back to her old ways, at least partially.

I found Vicki to be way more likable in the finale (I still don't like her, but she a far more sympathetic character). I also liked Ed more after finding out he was a chef (I'm sure they said it before, but I had missed it); dunno why, other than I am a fan of fine food.
Glad Michelle won, and I was pretty sure she would. From the looks of it, Alison (host) seemed genuinely happy that Michelle won, which was cool.
Phil, Shellay and both Amys also pulled off tremendous transformations. Was really surprised by Shellay's. Was a little disappointed in Colleen, I think she would have lost a lot more had she stayed on campus.

We were disappointed that Heba won any money, but thrilled that Michelle beat Vicky. When Heba came out for the first time and slipped, I prayed that Vicky would eat it on the way out. I couldn't believe my eyes when it was almost happening. Damn you, Bob!

Coleen looked good, but that was not a flattering outfit. She obviously still has a little bit of weight to lose but she was wearing a teeny tiny dress that would only look good on a very skinny girl. I wished she would have chosen something a little more modest, that was maybe looser around the tummy.
Shellay looked so thin, I wondered if she maybe lost too much.

I was hoping it wouldn't just cost Heba 150k but the full 250k.
I was hoping she would beat the final three, be the 4th voted out, but have someone beat her for the 100k.
