My Two Cents on BL

Warning - Biggest Loser Spoiler Below... If you haven't watched this week, you may want to skip reading this post!!

Ok... So I completely crashed on my couch in the last half hour of BL last night. Was it the physical exertion of laying sod in my backyard for hours & hours yesterday? Or... perhaps the fact that I inhaled an entire Freschetta pizza on my own? Maybe it was that the first hour was a complete waste of my time. (They totally could have made this week's episode a one hour show.)

Whatever it was, I crashed HARD. So I fast-forwarded (that's hard to say) through the rest of the show on my DVR this morning.

I can't believe Filipe went home... SO SAD!! I loved the Tongans and their synchronized crazy-eyed foot-stompin' thigh-slappin' primal dances!! I'm really hoping one of them will win the "at home" contest... They're good peeps. Fo Sho.

Being the nerd that I am - I calculated everyone's percentage weight loss at week 17 (the show that aired this week). Here's the rundown from most to least:

Tara
From 294 to 169
42.52%

Mike
From 388 to 224
42.27%

Helen
From 257 to 154
40.08%

Ron
From 430 to 289
32.79%

I'm assuming next week will be a no-brainer - that America will have enough reasoning to avoid voting for the lying, wily, sneaky Ron.
My top pet peeve ever - LIARS.
Come on, America! Don't prove me wrong!!

That being said, I'm assuming (and kind of hoping more than anything) the Live Finale will be between Tara, Mike & Helen.

Who do I think will win the whole kit-n-kaboodle??

Well, no offense, Helen - but I don't think you've got enough left to lose (or enough competitive spirit) to beat big Mike or the unrelentless Tara. I award you a shiny Third Place Ribbon. You annoy the hell outta me, but you look awesome!

I'm afraid Tara will not push herself at home. Because, let's face it - that girl is a BORN competitor! She gets her energy by having other contestants physically surrounding her and getting her psyched up. Without those people around her at home, I'm worried she won't push as hard as she could.

And Mike? Mike is so DARN COCKY! I feel like he needs to be humbled to get rid of that 'tude!!

So even though I have concerns about Tara's abilities to carry everything out on her own... Tara's my girl. Who else kicks back their own vomit just to win a challenge? Good.... NIGHT! She's awesome.

My vote: Tara. Rock it out, chica!!

Can't wait for the finale!
