Well, one more show after this! The final four (Helen, Tara, Mike and Ron) each came home to very big celebrations. The next morning, the players were all shocked to see boxes marked “The Biggest Loser” waiting for them on their doorsteps. They knew that inside that box contained a challenge. Inside the box was a DVD announcing their challenge and on their television screen was Ali announcing that the final players had 26 days to train, because they would participating in a full 26.2 mile marathon. Yikes! The really exciting apart before they started the marathon was Designer Whey would donate $10,000 to each person if they finished the race to the charity of their choice!

At mile five, Ron had to stop running to get his knee checked out. Meanwhile, mid-way through Tara’s marathon, season five winner Ali Vincent joined her on the run while Helen was joined by last season’s winner, Michelle.

Tara only had one more mile to go and she was joined by Jillian. She warned Jillian that she better keep up because nobody was going to stop her. Tara was the first one to cross the finish line. Again, she wins another challenge!!! Helen was the second to cross the finish line and couldn’t believe she actually did it. Ron’s knee was really giving him problems, but that didn’t stop his determination in wanting to finish the marathon and he finished. YEAH. And at the end of the marathon, they were each handed an oversize check from Designer Whey to their charity of choice.

Now for the weigh in…Stress is happening with all 4 players.  Ali told everyone that the two players who fell below the yellow line could be eliminated. The player with the highest percentage of weight loss would be guaranteed a spot in the finals, and the two remaining players would find out their fate at the hands of America, who would be voting from home. Oh, the pressure.

The players all lost weight while they were home for the 26 days. But, it was Tara who had lost enough weight to guarantee herself a spot in the finals. Are we surprised? Tara was going to be joined by Helen at the finals. Now, what will America do with Ron and Mike? America will vote one of them in next week. Remember Ron has always wanted his son Mike to be in the finals and pleaded his case to the voting public. Will America agree? We will find out next week!
