Back In Time
After all the hard work of the triathlon, the teams were allowed a trip down memory lane. They were shown footage of their auditions for the Biggest Loser. Whilst it was a shock to see themselves as they used to be, they were all amazed to see how far they had come. The change was not only physical, but it was inspirational to see the difference 8 weeks had made to their confidence and self belief.
Mother and daughter, Carol and Katey, had needed each other to do this. However, Carol`s motivation had mainly been for her daughter. Katey had been subjected to bullying when she was at school and that had started the comfort eating. Its probable that Carol had been hiding behind this as her reason to lose weight when, in actual fact she needed it just as much.
Kevin`s motivation was so that he could be around a lot longer for his autistic son. I think he`s probably acheived that and much more.
Everyone should congratulate themselves whatever the outcome in this final week.
Possibly, the worst and best moment, was having to don bags of fat which represented the weight they had lost so far. For poor Kevin that was 5 stone. Now they realise just what excess weight means. No-one is too keen to put all that back on.
The teams have one last chance to shed as many lbs as possible before the very last weigh in at the house. Their trainers treat them to a workout to end all workouts. They were put through hell in the gym, surpassing all previous levels of anything they had endured before.
Now to find out who the 3 finalists will be.

The three people with the highest percentage weight loss over the eight weeks are:-
Kevin, Maria and Carol - These three are the finalists - But as its a tie between Carol and Maria, there is now room for a 4th finalist. (not sure how that works, but still, good news for someone!).
perhaps Richard can sneak one of his team through the back door!!
Everyone will have a vote. Will it be Katey, Sadie or Jamie? Find out here tomorrow.
