Oh, Migdalia. Our local homemaker from Sanford was not "The Biggest Loser." She was the biggest loser on "The Biggest Loser," in fact. Her 19.62 percentage overall loss was the smallest of the 22 contestants at the finale by far. The next lowest was James, one of the Brown Team twins who was among the first to go home, who lost 26.39 percent of his body weight.

Migdalia's mother, Miggy, however, was looking all glam with her sporty new haircut and 91-pound weight loss, which put her about in the middle of the pack with a 37.92 percentage loss.

What sweet Daris was sporting was a new girlfriend!

Daris, baby, put down that spoon! What are you doing eating cereal in the middle of the night? ?? You're depressed because you haven't found a girlfriend yet when thousands of women in America want to take you home and kiss on your cute face?

Finding out Daris had gained two pounds over the four weeks he was home was a rather depressing end to a great "Biggest Loser" episode of inspiration and intrigue.

The intrigue? Is there kissy face going on between Ashley and Michael or is calling each other for pep talks now that they're home and making pacts to run the Biggest Loser marathon together just what real support looks like? It was his calling her "shortcake" and her calling him "baby" -- twice -- that made me raise my eyebrows. Hmmm.

First, sweet Koli started in with an (apparently) F-word laced tirade about how he was going to make it to the Final Four. He didn't care about the tension over cousin Sam's getting voted off last week. "This is the animal that's been created," he said with a sneer (a sneer!). "I'm going to win this show."

Then Michael (the biggest contestant ever at 526 pounds) had an F-word-laced mental breakdown of some sort because he was tired of looking at Daris and Koli and Sam being all hot and all while he still weighed in the 300s. I'm not sure what he expected. Uh, Michael, you've lost ONE HUNDRED NINETY TWO pounds! Dude!!

Michael should have just been thanking his lucky stars he was even still there. Ashley and Daris realized pretty quickly this week that their pact to keep Michael last week and to vote off Sam might have been a mistake.

This was the night. This was the night we got to see whether these people are the fine human beings they have seemed to be. Would they vote to keep the player who had little chance of winning to better their own chances? Or would they vote to keep the player with the farthest to go? The one who needed to stay the most?

Of course, the choice wasn't quite that clear, given that Sam has been an exemplary player, always encouraging others, staying focused working hard. Maybe Michael (the heaviest contestant ever) messed up his own chances for mercy by being so hard to like for so long, by playing at it for the first few weeks.

But first: Makeover Week.
