Season 13 - Episode 17 - 04/24/12

[CupidGuest]

Okay, so I'm always confused on the timing of these things. Ali just said she'd see them in a week - were they really just there, or was that TV-talk?

That was TV Talk. Finale is next week.

Ugh... Jeremy and Conda in the finale

One of the worst possibilities I could have thought of.

Preview: We've rooted for them every step of the way.
Ummm...not really. Not these players!

Conda to the home crowd in Michigan: "Both of us won a spot in the final three and one of us will be the Biggest Loser."

I have posted tonight's chart in the progress chart thread with the new weights and BMI's. Enjoy.

Conda to the home crowd in Michigan: "Both of us won a spot in the final three and one of us will be the Biggest Loser."

I know its not in her odds, but I'm 5'7" and was in the low
130's when I was in my 30's , hope Kim can lose enough to beat these two!

Only wish I could get to the 140's these days!

[Cootie]

So what happened exactly?

[CCL]

They had a series of competitions to see who would be the final finalist.
Top 8 losers (ie ones who had lost highest percentages) advanced to the next round; others eliminated.
Then a competition where they had to run a 40 yard dash - two eliminated (plus Chris who was not medically cleared to compete).
A "puzzle" where they had to put foods in order of the number of calories...three advance (Lauren, Mike, Jeremy).
Last challenge - standing on a pole holding on to a ticket...first with two hands, both feet on pole. Then with one hand, both feet. Then with one hand, one foot off. Lauren feels faint and drops. Mike puts his foot down. Jeremy is announced winner.
Boo.

[GabbyG]

It doesn't start here for an hour, and I think I'll skip it tonight.

[Bearcata]

Jeremy, you suck. I don't want him to win. He is such a whinny jerk.

At this point in the season it really is Kim's race to either win or lose. I wonder how long between going home and the finale they will have.

[spockwhat]

Not a bad idea, GabbyG. Unless one likes listening to an hour of Jermy complain how he's mad because he deserves the final three the most.

The only thing that can save this finale is Kim winning. If she doesn't, I expect TBL is going to lose some viewership... maybe they still will. I doubt I will watch next season, unless I hear good things about it (I'll be reading here). It's just awful watching horrible people you hate... win.

I was really rooting for Mike. Remember him? The lazy guy who they kicked out because he didn't work hard enough? Looks to me like he worked hard enough.
