As we look onto the season finale of the Biggest Loser, the decision was again left in the hands of the American people to chose the third person that will be competing for the grand prize this season.
So, my question is, who did or would you have voted for? Would it have been Liz or would it have been Amanda? Why?
I'm not going to state my opinion here but will rather save it for the comments that I leave to you all so not to sway the voting.

Well, I was definately for Amanda and am Glad that she was the one chosen, as personally I did not really care for Liz, and wish she would have been Voted off a long time ago. Amanda did look great and definately did loose a lot of weight and it was good to see America still pick her. I think she is a Very pretty gal and wishing her the Best from here.

She is a beautiful girl and I have to admit that I am happy to see that she didn't go to the extent with her weight loss that some contestants in prior seasons have gone to in order to win the prize.

Well, I know this is a little late, but I would have voted for Amanda. I think that she kept a positive attitude during the whole game. I really was excited to see which ones won the money. I was hoping to see Shay win the $100,000 but at least they did something for her. I can't wait to see her at the end of the next season to see how much more she lost. I can't wait till the next season starts. It looks pretty good.

I like you can't wait until the next season starts. I really like to see the way that the contestants change both in physical appearance and in mental health as well.
I too never got the opportunity to vote for this season, but I was quite happy that Amanda was the third finalist.

I voted for Amanda, I had voted for her at the end of last season to make it onto this season, and I guess it means that she hasn't made me change my mind about her. 
At the beginning I thought Liz was ok, but some of the choices she made and the way she acted at times I just didn't really like. I hope she does good, but I personally, do not want to see her in the top 3, because I'm pushing very hard for Amanda to win the whole thing. Amanda always came off as quiet and friendly and not really outspoken, and I tend to root for those people each season, because they remind me of myself. Either way, I'd say either Amanda or Liz have a pretty good shot at winning up against the men, simply based on the fact that they both started out probably almost half the weight of the men, therefore, can lose a smaller number of pounds in order to have a bigger percentage of weight loss.
Although, I am certainly not counting Danny out of anything, especially after I saw his number last week, I was shocked! Although, I can't see how he has much more weight to drop from there, if I'm not mistaken, I think he was about 212 after last weeks weigh-in, so I can't see him losing much more than 40 pounds after that. Although, from past seasons, I have seen that some of the contestants do lose more weight than is probably healthy.
No matter what, I am definitely looking forward to this finale! I can't wait to see how Shay did at home, it broke my heart when she got sent home, I really hope that she was able to drop a good deal of weight at home, but ever since she got sent home I have been worried that she wouldn't be able to get it done, since she still had such a long way to go. Another one I'm looking forward to seeing is Daniel, because I was rooting for him last season as well, I am sure he is probably at his goal weight by now, or close to it.

The season finale certainly was great. I was very happy to see that it was Amanda that was the third finalist, but I wish she could have been the winner as well. I am so happy about the offer that Subway made to Shay and I certainly hope that when she comes back in May that she has dropped a lot more weight. Over and above all, the thing that I liked the most was when Antoine proposed to Alexandra.

Oh yes! I was so happy as soon as they announced Amanda as the third finalist! I really thought that she has a good shot at winning, because of how she looks, I was actually amazed that her weight isn't lower, considering how tiny she looks! I was thinking, wow, she must have quite a bit of muscle because I really did think she would be around 130-140 tops, based on how she looked! I would have loved to see her win. I was so shocked when I saw Danny though, I wasn't shocked that he won really, because he always pulled such huge numbers each week, but I was shocked by how he looks! He doesn't even look like himself! The other person I barely recognized was Rebecca, I was so happy that she ended up winning the at home prize, I hated when she was eliminated anyway, she looked even more unbelievable than Amanda, and I almost thought she looked almost too skinny, but maybe it's just the comparison from how she looked before.
Oh yes, that was another wow moment... the proposal! Actually, as soon and the set up for that happened I knew what was happening, so definitely wasn't a shocker, but it was a really cool thing to see happen.
And Shay!!! I can't wait to see her at the finale next season, if I were her I would definitely push that much harder because of being at the next finale, and even the money. That is just so amazing that they are doing that for her, I definitely think that she deserves that so much, I admit, I was terrified for her when she was eliminated, I did not think she'd make it, if I was in that situation I don't know if I could, so that's why I was so nervous. But she definitely went above and beyond expectations. I know she said she hopes to lose 100 by the finale, I actually wouldn't be surprised if she lost more, she has done so great, and is obviously a very strong person. I can't wait to see her!
Oh, and the preview of the next season starting in January! It is looking like it will be another record breaking season. I actually find it way more inspiring the heavier the contestants get, because, well the finale last night speaks for itself. I can remember the earlier seasons when the contestants were lighter, overall, and it just wasn't as inspiring, it was still a big deal, but seeing people who would usually be written off as lost causes making such major changes, that just leaves me speechless!

I've actually told my husband that I would love to audition to be on the show because I've battled with my weight since I was a teenager. I would like to be on the show not even with the thought of winning in mind but because I would love to have the opportunity to work with Jillian. I really need someone like her in my life to push me beyond the things that I don't think that I can do.

Well... I am still waiting for the last episode to show up streaming online. I had an issue with my cable last Tuesday which meant it did not record and as of yet, I do not see last Tuesday's episode available as a full episode. The finale is on this week so I AM looking forward to that.
Liz or Amanda? Does that mean Rudy and Danny aren't in the running? I'm not sure who deserves it more, to be honest.

First off, I had one episode earlier this season that I missed and I thought I'd DVR'd it, but for some reason the DVR didn't work that day, so I waited on the edge of my seat all week for the episode to come on streaming, but it didn't show up so I finally decided to just purchase the episode from Amazon.
Anyway, Rudy and Danny are definitely in the running, Amanda and Liz were the two that were beyond the yellow line to have the third finalist position.
