Tuesday night, "The Biggest Loser" announced the final four: Ashley Johnston, Daris George, Koli Palu and Michael Ventrella, which meant that 24-year-old SunShine Hampton lost her spot on the ranch when she fell below the red line and was immediately sent packing. "It is a bummer not to make the final four," she tells Et, "but that whole week was a big week of reflection for me, seeing that I can do it at home. I can go for the at-home prize, but I have already won the big prize. I would take my health over $100,000 or $250,000 any day. I went with peace. I knew that I was going to be fine." SunShine, who with her father O'Neal Hampton has had a tricky journey on this season's "The Biggest Loser" -- she and her dad were kicked off the ranch the first day and were only able to earn their...

Sunshine Hampton has become the latest contestant to leave The Biggest Loser. The 24-year-old restaurant server from Minneapolis - who entered the competition with father O'Neal - was eliminated during last night's episode after losing the lowest percentage of weight this week. The weigh-in showed that she had lost 2lbs, which was 1.12%. "I know what I have done here and nobody can take away my journey," she said. "I am so happy and grateful for my time here." The challenge saw the contestants repeating a classic Biggest Loser task. At the starting line, each of them had a bag containing the amount of the weight that they have lost on the competition. They had to run across sixteen sandy hills and remove the amount of weight that they lost each week at each corresponding hill. Daris was named the winner and opted to take a 1lb advantage (more)...

It was clear this season on "The Biggest Loser" that the father-and-daughter yellow team -- O'Neal and Sunshine Hampton -- had a close bond. So O'Neal was extremely upset on Tuesday night when he fell below the yellow line with his daughter, putting them both up for elimination. "I always tried to make it crystal clear that if I ever fell below the yellow line with Sunshine, I would definitely want to go before her," O'Neal says the morning after his TV elimination. "I was a father first and a contestant second. Falling below the yellow line with her and having to leave was a bittersweet thing. Bitter was the fact that I had to leave; sweet because it was me instead of her." It had been a tough week for the Hamptons because O'Neal's older brother had died of cancer and they had to leave the show for a...

The last two weeks on "The Biggest Loser," Andrea Hough has pulled low numbers at the weigh-ins, even though she has worked so hard even the trainers admitted they didn't understand why she hadn't done better. It was just unfortunate for her that this week, she fell below the yellow line with Sam Poueu, one of the more popular contestants on the ranch. "As soon as I knew that Sam was below the line with me, I had an idea that I would be the one going home," Andrea says. "Not because of any hard feelings. Sam doesn't have a lot of weight to lose, so he is not a threat, but he is a huge encourager, so he is probably a good person to keep around when it comes to the game." Even Sunshine Hampton, who was friends with Andrea, voted against her, but the 24-year-old executive assistant from Ann Arbor,...

After two weeks of losing at the weigh-ins, the black team was victorious on Tuesday night's "The Biggest Loser," meaning that the blue team had to send someone home. That person turned out to be Lance Morgan, who was voted out by his teammates, despite not being the team member with the lowest percentage of weight loss. That was Daris George. "A lot of it is who you like and who you get along with," admits Lance, who voted for Michael Ventrella. "It is not necessarily an alliance, but, for me, Daris is like a brother to me, so I couldn't vote for Daris." Lance, who is down 105 pounds from his starting weight of 365 pounds, also felt that way about O'Neal and Sunshine Hampton, but the feeling wasn't exactly mutual. "When you have teams like that, anything goes," he continues. "I knew there was a possibility that I could go home,...
