Yes, as soon as Mike won the right to weigh in, I was pissed!! I almost didn’t watch.

And, yes, Jerry was awesome!! It was kinda sad to see all those who I thought could have, and should have done better- like Aubrey. Yeah, you have 5 kids. Get over it, and spend a little time on yourself!

And KRISTEN! After she went home, I didn’t think she could lose much more. But I was proud of that girl!! Honestly, of anyone, I wish she could have beaten Jerry.

When Helen weighed in, I knew she had a chance of beating Mike- but I really wish Tara had won… Did you see how devastated she looked? I think so much has to do with height and stature. Helen clearly had the opportunity to get down smaller. She’s a tiny person. Tara is what- 5′10′? I’m amazed she got below 140!

I hope next season brings good people again… and I hope my favorites actually make the finale!!

At least Mike didn’t win… not for his sake, but because Ron is such an arrogant, manipulative jerk.

I was so sad for Kristen- she was also the only one I wanted to beat Jerry because he obviously ahd done so much work at home. She looked so fantastic, I was so happy for her.
Now WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED AMERICA!?! You were all supposed to vote for RON! I was shellshocked when they announced his name- I almost want to say it was rigged to have a better weigh in at the end.
Not so happy Helen won, but whatever- Tara still looked fabulous, I just thought it was awful that she only needed like five more pounds to get it. She should have shaved her head.

I was SHOCKED when Helen walked out. Sure, she’s skinny, but she looks like she’s aged 10 years. She honestly looks closer to sixty now. She needs some fat on her face. After seeing her, I knew Tara would need to be anorexic in order to beat her. Then when Tara walked out, I knew Helen was gonna win.

And did you see when Allison asked Helen what she thought her chances were? She looked at Mike’s and Tara’s bodies and got this really smug smirk on her face, saying she thought she had a pretty good chance.

I’m so mad such a rotten person won.

But way to go Jerry!!! WOW I was amazed at him. And Kristen?! I honestly didn’t recognize her at first!! I wish she would’ve won.

Sorry to comment again- but WW, you’re totally right. Helen looks way older.

I JUST heard about a study that says if you’re under age 40, a little extra weight makes you look older. But over the age of 40, a little extra weight makes you look younger.

Food for thought…

And one more thing- seeing Helen look so skinny, compared to Shannon, made me more mad that she was so selfish and stayed over her daughter. (Ron may be an A$$, but at least he always wanted more for his son than himself)

I thought Helen looked terrible. She is WAY below where she needs to be, and I bet she gains back 15-20 pounds so she’s a little less dehydrated/saggy/baggy with all those wrinkles. I bet she used miralax for the 72 hours prior to the weighin.

I thought Tara looked awesome. I hope she finds balance in her life.

What the heck was America thinking by putting mike in? Are there really that many people who aren’t annoyed by him and Ron?

Amen to Jerry winning the at-home thing. Awesome.

And I will never watch a 3 hour finale ever again. It was soooooooo long….!!!! Next time they do a finale that long I will just look up the results on google. So obnoxious.

oh yeah, and I think it is TERRIBLE that the producers made those 2 girls compete for a spot next season on the finale. That sucks for them. And is so unfair. They should have just chosen themselves, and told the other one behind stage that they thought she was awesome so either give her a spot on the season after next, or given her the workout stuff as a tribute to her character.

I know this is a little late, but I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that thought that it was weird that Helen sent her daughter home and then in the finale Helen looked anorexic and her daughter didn’t lose that much compared to her mother. I really wanted Mike to win out of that bunch. I liked him. I thought the Dad could get annoying sometimes, but I really liked Mike. I was really hoping Kristen would win the other weigh in, but props to Jerry! I was so surprised to see him so thin!
