"Well, that was an interesting end to this season of The Biggest Loser. Normally, everyone is buzzing about how great all the contestants looked, but it has to be said that there&amp;#039;s a fair amount of concern about this year&amp;#039;s winner - Rachel. I&amp;#039;d been backing Rachel for weeks and hoping for her victory, but it seems I wasn&amp;#039;t alone in being a little worried about just how much weight she&amp;#039;s shed. Let&amp;#039;s hope that she&amp;#039;s happy and healthy. The trainers and NBC seem pretty quiet on the subject so far, so it will be interesting to see if they say anything. Will the format change somehow? The thing is, the rest of the finale was truly inspirational as the former contestants showed off just how great they looked. Without exception, all of them have done some superb work and look fantastic. So let&amp;#039;s run down exactly what happened during The Biggest Loser...  Who&amp;#039;s going to win the at-home prize? After catching up with some former Biggest Loser contestants (hello, my beloved Danni) and seeing a recap of the season, it&amp;#039;s time to bring out the contestants and see who&amp;#039;s going to grab the big at-home prize! First out onto the stage are Jennifer, who looks fab, Fernanda, who left me saying: &amp;quot;Wow&amp;quot;, and Hap. There&amp;#039;s a really sweet moment as Jennifer talks about being a mom and her daughter Taylor gets applause for her own weight loss. Elsewhere, Hap talks about his growing family - he can actually be with his son now! But after the scale has the most dramatic entrance of the night, it&amp;#039;s time for some weigh-ins. Jennifer: Jillian is impressed with Jennifer - she says she looks &amp;quot;smashing&amp;quot;. She ends up dropping from a starting weight of 266lbs to 162lbs - a loss of 104lbs and 39.10%. &amp;quot;No matter what happens, I have already won, period,&amp;quot; she smiles. Fernanda: Given that Fernanda wasn&amp;#039;t on the ranch for very long, she looks amazing. She says she is so grateful she got the Biggest Loser experience and ends up dropping from 250lbs to 163lbs - a loss of 87lbs or 34.8%. Not enough to meet Jennifer, but amazing. Hap: Hap first weighed in at 403lbs - he&amp;#039;s now at 322lbs, which is a loss of 81lbs or 20.10%. Next onto the stage are Matt, Chelsea and Holley. They all look slimmer, but I&amp;#039;m properly wowed by how good Chelsea looks - Bob brings out her old dress and shows how it would drown her now she&amp;#039;s a size six. Matt, who postponed his wedding for the show, says he&amp;#039;s now ready to get married, which is sweet. And Holley pays tribute to Bob for helping her out so much! Let&amp;#039;s find out how it all shows up on the scale...  Matt: Matt had a starting weight of 356lbs and is now 223lbs - a loss of 133lbs or 37.36%. He just misses out on taking the lead from Jennifer! Chelsea: Chelsea began at 241lbs and is now at 146lbs - that&amp;#039;s 95lbs or 39.42% lost! She just sneaks ahead of Jennifer by one pound. &amp;quot;A long time ago I would have said I couldn&amp;#039;t do it,&amp;quot; Chelsea beams. Holley: Before Holley has even weighed in she has everyone in tears with her adorable revelation that she&amp;#039;s asked if Bob can come out to Rio with her if she makes it to the Olympics. Bob is clearly blindsided by this but is absolutely giddy and happy. It&amp;#039;s adorable. Anyway, Holley started at 351lbs and is now at 255lbs - a loss of 96lbs or 27.35%. And then gives Bob a big hug. Thank goodness no-one could see us watching.  Next out on stage are Tanya, who looks great; Craig, who is barely recognisable (but looks amazing); and Marie, who is just so tiny now. Tanya talks about opening restaurants serving healthy comfort food, Jillian marvels at how &amp;quot;amazing&amp;quot; Craig looks (&amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s everything I ever hoped for him&amp;quot;) and Marie explains she&amp;#039;s ready to start a family now. But how are things looking on the scale? Tanya: Tanya is crying as soon as she&amp;#039;s seen her VT, but things get better as she drops from a starting weight of 262lbs to 175lbs - that&amp;#039;s a loss of 87lbs or 33.21%. It&amp;#039;s not enough to beat Chelsea, but she&amp;#039;s understandably happy. Craig: I can&amp;#039;t get over how great Craig looks, and it shows up on the scale - he drops from a start of 385lbs to 223lbs - a loss of 162lbs or 42.08%. He&amp;#039;s the new leader! The crowd go crazy for him. Marie: Marie has a tough task to beat Craig - but she does it! She started at 249lbs but now weighs 138lbs - that&amp;#039;s a loss of 111lbs or 44.58%. Insane!  There are only three people left to weigh in, now - here come Ruben, Tumi and Jay. They all look fabulous - Tumi in particular looks incredible! Ruben says he&amp;#039;s got a new confidence now (while Dolvett thinks they have a brotherly bond); Tumi reveals that she&amp;#039;s fallen in love with running; and Jay pays an emotional tribute to Jillian, saying she saved his life. But are any of them going to beat Marie to the at-home prize? Ruben: Ruben drops from a starting weight of 462lbs to 343lbs - a loss of 119lbs or 25.76%. Tumi: After we see a video from the auditions, where Tumi was asked to run up 20 flights of steps and did 32, her determination really pays off on the scale. She&amp;#039;s crying even before she discovers that she&amp;#039;s lost 175lbs or 54.86%. I mean, wow. She&amp;#039;s dropped from 319lbs to 144lbs! She gets a standing ovation from pretty much everyone. She&amp;#039;s the new leader... Jay: Jay has lost 114lbs or 38.38% - amazing - and gone from 297lbs to 183lbs. That&amp;#039;s fabulous, but it&amp;#039;s Tumi who is getting the at-home prize! In total, the former contestants lost nearly 1400lbs. Pretty incredible.  Who&amp;#039;s going to win? Now, of course, it&amp;#039;s time for the main event. Bobby is the first finalist to come out on stage, and he looks so slim - almost like a different person. He seems so much more confident, too, which is nice. He jokes that he&amp;#039;s been thinking of Rachel and David too much, though - &amp;quot;Rachel&amp;#039;s going to make me straight, I think about her so many times.&amp;quot; David is next out, though, and he looks so handsome and so much younger! He&amp;#039;s also full of inspirational chat about how the winning step was the first one. Aww. And finally, Rachel comes out. She has been my favourite for ages, but she does seem tiny - and Bob and Jillian look pretty shocked, too. Still, she says she&amp;#039;s choosing her own path now and is in control, plus pays tribute to her &amp;quot;rock&amp;quot;, her mom.  It&amp;#039;s just the weigh-in left now, so - after Ruben has taken to the stage to perform and the trainers have spoken to weight loss success stories in the audience (props to Jan for correctly describing Dolvett as the &amp;quot;hottest&amp;quot; man on television) - it&amp;#039;s scale time... Bobby: Bobby jokes that he doesn&amp;#039;t want to weigh himself ever again, but he should be pretty happy with these results - he drops 188lbs or 52.51% to go from a start weight of 358lbs to 170lbs (and then jokes he wishes he&amp;#039;d made it into the 160s!). &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m really proud of my effort!&amp;quot; he says. Rachel: Rachel trips on her way up the scales but then shows just how much weight she&amp;#039;s lost - 155lbs or 59.62%, to go from a start of 260lbs to 105lbs. She&amp;#039;s lost nearly 60% of her body weight. David: It all comes down to this, but David drops from 409lbs to 187lbs - a loss of 222lbs or 54.28%. That&amp;#039;s obviously incredible, but it&amp;#039;s not enough to beat Rachel, who&amp;#039;s crowned the winner! But that&amp;#039;s that, basically - we don&amp;#039;t get much time to talk to her as she&amp;#039;s soon being hugged and Alison is saying goodbye. That&amp;#039;s it for another season of The Biggest Loser, but what did you think? Let us know below! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
