Makeovers and romance on The Biggest Loser Ranch

Our Biggest Loser correspondent, The N&O's Michelle Aldrich, gives us her recap of last night's show.

Host Alison announces right off the bat that this is makeover week and immediately introduces Tim Gunn from (Project Runway) and Tabatha Coffey (Tabatha’s Salon Takeover). The contestants will be at The Four Seasons for hair, makeup and wardrobe, and will then have to give a speech describing their Biggest Loser Journey to a live audience of 300 people.

If there is one word that is increasingly uttered/abused each season, it would be JOURNEY. If we were to play Biggest Loser Bingo, JOURNEY would be the center square. Biggest Loser Drinking Game? JOURNEY would have me slurring my words faster than you can say Jennie-O-Turkey. Sigh.

Biggest Loser Daniel: "I don't want to lose weight now and lose at life later"


Daniel Wright's second appearance on "The Biggest Loser" may have been more emotional than the first.

The Willow Spring man (he's just 20) was the heaviest contestant in the show's history, weighing 454 pounds. At that first finale weigh-in, he was down 142 pounds to 312.

When he was eliminated this week, Daniel had lost another 56 pounds on the show, but better, he gained a lot of insight. During the second chances season, he struggled to lose weight, partly he says, because he wasn't sure he deserved a second chance.

"I was struggling internally," he says. "I was dealing with whether I should be there. By week 8 or 9 I figured out I shouldn't think that way."
