Michelle wins ‘The Biggest Loser’

Collected from nbc.com Dec 31, 2008 with the description: Michelle Aguilar, the 26 year old from Dallas, was named “the Biggest Loser” in the sixth season finale Tuesday. She lost 110 pounds in the competition, dropping from a starting weight of 242 to a current 132 as part of Jillian Michaels’ team. The percentage weight loss was 45.45 percent and she took home the title and the dllrrs250,000 final prize. Ed Brantley, 31, a chef from Raleigh, lost even more pounds, 139, but the 41.49 percent weight loss was less than the winner (or loser) when he went from a starting 335 to 196. He had been part of Bob Harper’s team of husbands and wives, with his wife Heba Salama, 30, who was also among the final four but was eliminated by viewer vote during the finale in a rather lopsided margin — an 84 percent majority chose Brantley. Salama did win the dllrrs100,000 prize for the biggest loser of those eliminated. Part of Harper’s team was Vicky Vilcan, 37, the mother from Houma, La., who said she felt guilty that her weight had helped make her daughter overweight as well. Her weight loss, losing 101 pounds from a starting 246 to 145, was good enough for a third place finish. “The Biggest Loser” finale came as part of a big two hour finale, which really was not so big — every episode of the show this season was two hours long, something of a record.
