"The Biggest Loser" returns tonight as the countdown to the May 25 finale continues. But the show has almost become as famous for the romances that are gained as it is for the contestants' weight loss. This season's romance blossomed between Stephanie Anderson and Sam Poueu. Just last season, it was Daniel Wright and Rebecca Meyer, and who can forget the moment last December when Antoine Dove dropped down on one knee and proposed to Alexandra White on the finale? Those are just the three most recent love stories. The show already has two couples who married after meeting at the ranch: Suzy and Matt Hoover from season two and Amy and Marty Wolff from season three. "When people go through extraordinary circumstances together, it bonds them and it unites them," "The Biggest Loser" trainer Jillian Michaels tells Et. "These are people, by the way, who have felt ashamed and have...

How do you find true love on a reality show? You might think it takes a sexy swimsuit for an inevitable hot tub scene, a red rose and a romantic helicopter ride, but some Double Stuf Oreo cookies might also do the trick! In fact, eight couples have found love on TV's most successful franchises: The Biggest Loser, The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Who knew battling the bulge was just as much of a turn on as roses and champagne? Biggest Loser winner Matt Hoover argues that a side salad is way more romantic than long-stemmed roses, noting that the...

The eighth season of "The Biggest Loser" has come to its finale on December 8. With a stunning lose of 239 pounds or about 55% of his body weight, Danny Cahill won the competition and took home the $250,000 prize.
"I feel like a million bucks," Danny said. "I got my life back."

NBC has indeed discovered how to turn losers into winners. Despite all the money that changed hands tonight on The Biggest Loser: Second Chances finale—$250,000 for the not-so-big-anymore winner and $100,000 for the most successful among the previously eliminated contestants—a bit of bling stole the show. "I love you with all my heart," the newly svelte Antoine Dove began, kneeling in front of fellow season-eight alum Alexandra White. "I've accomplished the impossible in my life because you were by my side. And now we're going to be able to live our lives together forever, if you'd accept this ring." Cue the awesome! But aside from the happily-ever-after...
