I love how the Biggest Loser helps people who typically start as morbidly obese & gives them the tools to drop weight and live healthy lives - without surgery or diet pills. This was a little shocking for me - I hope Rachel can find a healthy balance.

I love love love biggest loser! It is the only game show I watch! I was excited and happy with Dani winning last season and was hoping Rachel will do just the same ! And she did, she won! And instead of people being happy and excited for her, Facebook, tweeter , Instagram and etc just filled with comments starting from plane negative to accusing and nasty. Unhealthy, too skinny, anorexic , disgusting and grouse are just a few mean words used in those comments. First things first! Anorexic is not the way you look! Unhealthy is not something you can determine by weight or the way she looked ( and if it is, I would say she was glowing, not unhealthy). Are you confusing this show with the extreme weight loss ? It is a game show, she wanted to win, that was one of the goals and she reached it! If she would have weighted at only 8pounds or so more she might have lost. Just because she started at 260lb not 400lb should not stop her from winning! It is $250000 , I bet some of you would do a lot more for it, hell I would! Congratulations to everyone who is setting goals and reaching them! I hope to be this person one day!

And on another note...I watch the Biggest Loser (this season was actually kind of nice-other than the few undeserving who kept being saved/put on there)..that being said, I didn't really like any of the finalist, but I did want to see who won and OMG...I understand that Biggest Loser is a contest and it's the contestant's goal to get as small as possible but the show is really also about changing your life for the better and this season has represented that in a way the others haven't. That being said, the contestant who DID win, shouldn't have. I've seen people who lose too much weight and they always look so much older afterwards and that's exactly what happened. She lost so much weight she was skin and bones-hardly any muscle definition at all and look like she was pushing 40...even though she's in her early 20's. Past winners have been small, but they didn't go as far as she did. NBC has yet to release the finale (usually  I can watch previous episodes on hulu the day after but this one isn't up yet) and I'm wondering if they're trying to avoid serious backlash about how small she is (I'm sure they're already getting plenty). Jillian's mouthed "Oh my God" wasn't a shocked, surprise she looks great one, and Bob was so stunned he was clapping very slow...I hope they figure out a way to prevent this from happening in the future. The contestant is a natural athletic, she knows what's healthy for her and what's not. I think she got stuck on a size and a number of what she used to be without realizing she's matured and grown since she was a teen...it wasn't healthy at all for her to get that small in such a short amount of time and you can see it in her face.
