'The Biggest Loser': Best Makeover?

on November 18, 2009 at 8:16 AM

Last night was the Biggest Loser makeover show with Tim Gunn and Tabatha Coffey. Before we delve into the recap (SPOILER warning), can we be catty for a minute and comment on who we thought had the best makeover?

I'll start: It was hard to pick just one because they all looked so fabulous. But I'd have to say that Allen was my favorite makeover, simply because he looked sooooooooo happy. The runner-up? Definitely Rebecca. That girl is gorgeous!

After the makeovers, the six contestants gave motivational speeches to a crowd of 300 before retiring to the ranch for a pulley challenge (Rudy won!) and a Last Chance workout. While exercising with Jillian, Rudy gave us a little insight into his life and struggles, revealing that he started gaining weight at age 12 after his sister died of leukemia.

During the weigh-in, Rebecca and Liz fall below the yellow line. In a surprising twist of events (or, at least, surprising to me) Rudy says that he doesn't trust Rebecca because of something she did in Week 5, and votes her off. Rebecca is angry because not only does she have to go home, but she considered Rudy a close friend. (Cue lots of crying and drama.)

This is two weeks in a row where Rudy has surprised me. I don't know what to think of this guy! But all is well: In the update, Rebecca looks absolutely fantastic and healthy and finished a half-marathon.

What did you think of last night's episode? Who had the best makeover?

About the author Kim Conte

has shoes that make people stop her on the street and ask "Where did you get those?" but it doesn't work for taxi cabs as she was hit by one ... and lived to tell the tale. 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 have no idea why rudy said that about rebecca. why not just say she was a bigger threat than liz, which rebecca would have understood and maybe appreciated? I wonder if that was some sort of a strategy thing for next week, like planting a seed to show how trustworthy he himself is so that he can make a deal for next week....

Huh. That's an interesting point about Rudy, and one I had not thought of. I also thought it was interesting how Allen said he was holding back in the challenges so that everyone wouldn't be out to get him...

There's so much strategy!
