Live Finale
March 18

It's been a long and winding journey, but we're finally here tonight; picking up the pieces and walking into new light. The past is gone, and hopefully it will stay gone. The 18 people you saw over the last two months have changed inside and out for the better. They are all winners, but only one can be named The Biggest Loser and take home $250,000.

As we begin the Live Finale...

Danni Allen: 163
Jeff Nichols: 265
Joe Ostrazewski: 239
Jackson Carter: 230

As a reminder, Joe and Jackson are below the yellow line, and they're fate is in your hands, America.

First thing's first... the trainers arrive to talk more about the childhood obesity epidemic. If you're a parent reading this, take half an hour and go walking around the neighborhood with your kids. Repeat once daily. There.

Now, the result of the popular vote to see who joins Danni and Jeff in the finals. First up, let's see how both of them did in the weight department.

First of all, Jackson... you need a better stylist. Heh. Since going home, he's really taken the lessons to heart and his kids are taking the example. As for Joe, ... that ain't Joe, that's his brother! No seriously, that's Joe.

Now to the result... America chose.... JACKSON! He will compete for $250,000!

So what about our ambassadors for change in our country? Let's check in on the kids, shall we? Is Lindsey cheerleading fit? Is Biingo ready to take the field. And what about Sunny's prom dress?

Let's take these in order. Lindsey spent two minutes as a flyer (she's lost 47 pounds... and is working that cheer garb). Biingo gained two inches in height... and lost 43 pounds. So have his parents. In total, they've lost over 200 pounds. Now Biingo has a jersey and a hat from the Maryland Cardinals that will fit him! As for Sunny... She's absolutely killing in that dress of hers. She's lost 51, she's down 4, and she runs 5Ks.

Meanwhile, did we mention that the 11 eliminated players are competing for an at-home prize of $100,000? It's the person with the highest percentage weight-loss. Here are our first three:

- Pam Geil: 237 ------> 166 (-71) - 29.96%
- Nate Montgomery (whose mum lost 70 lbs): 359 ------> 260 (-99) - 27.58%
- Alex Reid: 240 ------> 156 (-84) - 35%

Oh yeah, and Nikki the quitter is here. Remember, kids. Pain is temporary... quitting is forever. Next four...

- Francie Morrillo: 267 ------> 172 (-95) - 35.52%
- TC Pool: 376 ------> 266 (-110) - 29.26%
- Michael Dorsey: 444 ------> 308 (-136) - 30.68%
- Cate Laughlan: 237 ------> 173 (-64) - 27%

Francie has taken the lead going into the final four...

- Lisa Rambo (husband lost 70): 246 ------> 138 (-108) - 43.90%. She's almost half the woman she once was!
- David Jones: 307 ------> 205 (-102) - 33.22%
- Gina McDonald: 245 ------> 132 (-113) - 46.12% ALSO half the woman she used to be!
- Joe Ostrazewski: for $100,000... He needs to lose more than 167 lbs... 364 ------> 217 (-147) - 40.38%

Which means that Gina, who's been the Biggest Loser ALL throughout the competition, wins $100,000.

Biggest Loser Nation has lost over 100,000 pounds since joining the Challenge. Brandy, 38 from Carthage, TX, lost 75 pounds. She's running her first half-marathon this Sunday. Katerina, 19 from Northridge, CA, has lost 50 pounds. Jessica from San Diego... still has 50 pounds to lose, but she's down 100. Lesson: the journey never ends.

And now, it's time for the moment of truth... Will it be the man you voted in who literally bared his guts, the lady who overcame a round of stage fright, or the guy who had a very special relationship with a competitor? We'll find out... right now.

WEIGH-IN #12

As a reminder, we're looking for the total percentage of weight lost over the last six months. Also a reminder that THIS IS FOR MONEY.

- JACKSON: 328 ------> 190 (-138) - 42.07%
- JEFF (needs to lose more than 163 to take the lead): 388 ------> 207 (-181) - 46.65%

Danni needs to have lost more than 120 pounds in order to win the quarter mill

- DANNI: 258 ------> 137 (-121) - 46.89%

BY A SINGLE POUND, DANNI ALLEN IS THE BIGGEST LOSER!
