We watched the whole season of The Biggest Loser routing for the sisters Olivia Ward and Hannah Curlee because we could relate to their strong bond. As so when the pair ended up in the final three together we were so happy for them. But in the back of our heads, knowing what just a tinge of sibling rivalry feels like, we couldn’t help but wonder if they were at all competitive with each other. In a recent conference call interview Olivia, who won the title and the $250,000 cash prize, answered our questions about going head-to-head against her sister and best friend.
She admitted there was a healthy competition going on, "It was always one of those things that we came in together but at the same time it was like, 'She’s never just going to let me win anything, and I’m...

During a pretty intense weigh-in on last week's Biggest Loser the nail biting went on until the very last seconds. Would sisters Hannah and Olivia fall below the yellow line together causing one of them to leave the other behind on the ranch? Instead frontrunner Austin Andrews lost only one pound and was sent packing. We spoke with him about the fear of splitting up the girls, the moment he became a man and what he's doing to try to take the at-home prize.
On the Fear of Breaking Up the Sisters
"That night was so intense just because you’re looking at all of this around you. I, of course, would have been grateful that I would have been able to stay in the final four but at the same time I loved Olivia and Hannah and I love Irene and Jay. So we...

Jennifer Jacobs, the latest eliminated contestant from The Biggest Loser, went on an emotional journey she never expected. In a recent conference call interview Jen talked about her life before, during and after the show.
Jen seemed like a strong and determined player right from the get go and yet she conceded that she was broken when she started out. She admitted, "I came to the ranch as somebody that knew that they had always wanted to lose weight… but I think the missing piece was that I never believed that I could do it."
She also acknowledged that she was afraid to lose the weight because she would no longer be able to hide behind that excuse. She remarked, "I never imagined the workout that I would have to go through in my mind to realize that I am just as deserving of this...

Were you as shocked as we were to see Justin Pope get sent home this week on The Biggest Loser? Justin was, by far, head motivator on the ranch and had consistently had one of the highest percentages of weight loss week after week. And yet by luck of the draw, and his first bad weigh in, he ended up below the yellow line and facing elimination. And then in his final selfless act as team leader, he begged the other players to send him home so Courtney Crozier could stay and finish the journey she so desperately needed to complete.
There was also the drama during the weigh in when Kaylee Kinikini intentionally gained pounds because she was ready to go home. In a recent conference call interview Justin said his cast mate approached him earlier in the week and revealed her plan to him.
