'The Biggest Loser:' Good Riddance or Bittersweet?

on November 4, 2009 at 8:43 AM

I've spent all this season of The Biggest Loser hoping a certain person would get voted off the show. But in the end, that particular person didn't seem to be as bad as I had previously thought...WARNING: MAJOR SPOILER.

Tracey was eliminated in last night's episode of the The Biggest Loser, when the contestants visited Washington D.C. (including the White House!) with Bob and Jillian to help other people lose weight. She and Liz fell below the yellow line during the weigh-in, but Amanda, Daniel, Danny, and Rebecca all decided to vote her off because of how she had acted in the beginning of the game.

Personally, I haven't trusted—or for that matter really liked—Tracey, simply because of how she played the game in the beginning.

But last night's episode showed a new, shall we say, softer side of Tracey. I loved seeing her with her kids and husband at the end, and she looked absolutely fabulous! Her transformation was truly amazing. Now, she smiles so much more. She just seems like a nicer, and more important, happier person. And, she's training for a marathon in December. Go Tracey!

*Sigh.* I love The Biggest Loser.

What did you think of last night's episode of The Biggest Loser? Were you happy to see Tracey go?

She has more freckles than Lohan but way less attitude. And she's a fierce cook with tons of recipes to share -- and wishes she could share some with Bourdain.

I felt the same way. I really felt Tracey had a case of the crazies, and still do. And that's not always a bad thing either. I just didn't like the way she played the game and how she treated people. But yes, like you, last night she appealed to my soft spot. I cried when she reunited with her beautiful family and cried even more when I saw how well she was doing in her battle to lose weight. I'm really rooting for them all to get healthy. Sure I have my faves. But wow...way to go Tracey!

I only just started watching, so I don't know what it was Tracey did to tick everyone else off, but I can say that I didn't buy her appeal to the contenstants to stay on. There was something very fake in her voice and face, and she seemed to expect that she would get to stay and shocked that they voted her off.

Of course, all this said, I'm happy that she's doing so well now. She did look great running that mile!

Liz is my favorite, so I would have been really upset if she'd been sent home over Tracey!

I am glad she was sent home. I don't think her main purpose for being there was to get healthy. I think she had her eye on the prize at the end. I think being sent home was her wake up call and what really made her want to get healthy. I'm glad she is doing well at home, but I wonder if she would be doing as well if she would go on to win.

I will admit I haven't liked Liz's attitude the past few weeks, but I would still rather keep her around over Tracey.

I along with everyone else couldnt wait for her to get off the show then when i watched the bonus scenes of her running that mile and how good she looked and what she is like outside of the show I actually kinda liked her. She suprised me.

Hollylynn if you go to nbc.com you can go under bigesst loser and watch all the prev. episodes...then you can get an idea of what was going on!!
