Last night we watched the last of this season’s Biggest Loser show and were thrilled to see the transformations that all the contestants have gone through. They all did a great job. Unfortunately, politics and race were the determining factor as to who was the third person to be in the final three.
I think that the reason America did not vote for Koli wasn’t because he was cocky as many people have said. Let’s call it like it is… I think it was simply because Daris was a white kid from the mid-west and Koli wasn’t. Period.
Koli had the highest percentage of weight loss over Daris on last week’s show and again at the finale. There should be no vote at this stage of the game. It should be on merit only not on popularity.
Hopefully next year the producers will correct this fault in the show and make it about being the “biggest loser” only.
Some people have said that Koli sulked for the rest of the evening after finding out that he wasn’t chosen to be in the final three. Well, if I had to take second prize and being pretty sure that I actually had the biggest weight loss I would be sulking, too, as most people would be.
I like Daris and always cheered for him but I think Koli should have been in the final three. Koli, is the biggest loser even losing more weight than Michael.
Here is what others are saying about last night’s show…

So there you have it. Another season is done and many people healthier for having lost so much weight. Overall, I think this was a great season and had many really nice and deserving people on it and not too much drama unlike many other years. I’m looking forward to next season already.
