weighs 474! any bets on what he gets down too?
 
my guess he gets voted off pretty quick, at least I would, I'm sure he's trained 100 times harder then they are actually going to train. And once he gets into half way descent shape it's going to be easy for him. So they'll probably vote him off quick if they get the chance.
 
ive watched the show here and there but don't know a lot about the rules...what if he loses more than everyone else or wins competitons so theres not a chance to get voted off?

i need to watch the show i know

by down i mean what weight...not place

I only have secondhand information on the show, never watched it, but can't he still participate if he gets voted off?

They change the rules week to week, but usually they have 1 of 2 sets of rules, when they're playing individuals the 2 people with the worse weight losses are up to be voted off. If they have these rules he would stick around for awhile. But usually they eventually go to teams and they add up all the totals of the two teams and the team with the worst total loses and everyone is up for eviction(except for the team member on the losing team with the best weight loss). So in this situation I could see him getting voted off, cause for some reason they always vote out the person who least likely needs to be there. And I'd guess they'd percieve him as being able to do it at home.

He can compete for the home 100,000 prize if he gets voted off. Which means if your not in the final 3 and you have to beat everyone else who got voted off(most of the time this person loses more then the actual winner).
 
Never bet against a wrestler in a weight cutting contest. I realize that high schools in Iowa now have limits on weight loss but the cutting weight/starving culture of wrestling is one reason my kid won't be wrestling unless it's at his complete natural weight.

There is muscle under the flab.

Problem is this show is based on percentage of weight lost and not body composition so he is actually at a bit of a disadvantage.

He was down to 260 for the worlds in 2003(?). So he's got at least 200 pounds of flab to lose. He could win it, but you would think that people would align against him since he's one of the stronger competitors.

However, if you're a fan of Survivor like political strategy, Biggest Loser is going to drive you insane. People usually vote for who needs it the most and for their friends, rather than aliances or who is their biggest competition for the cash.
 
I caught the first part of the show and there was a challenge that he won and he was awarded the chance to pick between having Bob & Jillian as his trainer or unknown trainers and 4 weeks immunity. He picked the unknown so he will be around for at least 4 weeks.
