The biggest winner of The Biggest Loser is revealed!

I haven't seen last night's finale of The Biggest Loser (and if you don't want to be spoiled...uh, why are you reading a post that's obviously about the show?) but I couldn't resist checking in to see who won and am so fricking excited that Pinky Lee Ali has earned one for all the fat girls everywhere by taking home the questionable honor of being The Biggest Loser! And oh my god, her final picture? She looks AMAZING! So strong and powerful! I'm actually a little frightened of those pipes. I'd easily say that she looks like she can kick Jillian's ass. And I'm totally ecstatic that Berndana won money too for being the Biggest Loser at Home.

Yay Berndana! Quite honestly, everyone looks like the hotness. Noticeably absent from the transformation photos is Baldy Bear, the former partner to Third Place Kelly. During his follow-up, it seemed that he had fallen off the All Diet-All Exercise-All The Time mentality that you need while on the Loser ranch. It will be interesting to see what the explanation is for his conspicuous absence on the show. You can definitely see a correlation between external motivation (like the kind you get at the Biggest Loser Ranch) and the ability to lose weight quickly. Jen, Bette-Sue and a few of the early ousters seem to be still struggling with their weight. However, Curtis and Mallory (voted off the week she ate 200 calories of M&Ms) were booted SO early and yet, they obviously both motivated the heck out of each other or had the internal ability to stick to the plan. Now I wish that the show was filmed two years ago, because I'd love to see how these Losers manage to keep the weight off without Trainer Bob and Jillian getting all up in their grill for six hours a day.
