The Biggest Loser 5

The Biggest Loser has its first female winner as Ali wins the couples season

A woman won The Biggest Loser for the first time in the show’s history, as Ali took home the $250,000 prize. She was also the show’s actual biggest loser, having lost 112 pounds and 47.86 percent of her body weight, more than anyone else.

Roger won the viewer vote by a margin less than 100,000 votes, and he came in second having lost 45.18 percent of his body weight and 164 pounds, more pounds than any other contestant. Kelly, who lost 109 pounds and 40.22 percent of her body weight, placed third. Earlier, Bernie beat Mark by one pound to win the $100,000 at-home prize.

Unlike other finales, the contestants didn’t really seem to have undergone super-dramatic transformations. They were all thinner, but many still looked like they have a ways to go; perhaps that’s just because we saw many of them return relatively recently to the game, and thus their final transformations are less dramatic. Last season, eight people lost more than 40 percent of their body weight, while this season, six did.
