Home is Where the Heart is

The show starts off as each of the contestants return home to hero’s welcome.  The contestants weigh in again in front of their families and then Alison Sweeney magically appears on the scale and informs the contestants that surprise, surprise, there will be an annual ritual for the contestants.  The Biggest Loser Marathon.

As the contestants use different methods to prepare for the Marathon we see each and every struggle that being away from the ranch can bring.  Koli decides to re-locate to Las Vegas and Daris struggles with his eating.  Every contestant struggles with their old environment from one degree or another.

Run Forest Run!

At the Biggest Loser Marathon former contestants and family members join the final four to encourage them to make it through the entire 26.2 miles.  Only The Biggest Loser can take something as boring as a marathon and make it emotional.  Daris smokes the field and finishes in just over 4 hours.

And The Finalist Are:

At the weigh in the contestants lose the following amounts of weight in the 30 days since they last stepped on the scale

Michael loses 23 lbs

Koli loses 13 lbs

Ashley loses 18 lbs

Daris gains +2 lbs and ends up tearfully admitting that his eating struggles have sabotaged his efforts.

Daris and Koli fall below the yellow line and America will vote on which contestant will join Michael and Ashley as a finalist.  You can vote for your favorite by going to http://www.nbc.com/the-biggest-loser/vote/register.shtml
