When being a “Loser” is a good thing…
Being the “Biggest Loser’ in Asia is certainly not a bad thing.
After all’s been said and done, the stars of Asia’s very own ‘Biggest Loser” series are beside themselves with joy. Though only one of them took the crown, there is no question that all of them feel like winners.
Aaron
‘I feel great! I’m really happy for David (Gurnani) for winning it,” Malaysia’s Aaron Mokhtar told Yahoo! Southeast Asia in a phone interview.
Aaron, who took third place in the show after losing to the Philippines’ Carlos Miguel by a single point, is just happy to have lost the 60 kilograms that threatened his health just a few months back.
Carlos
‘From the moment I first saw him (David), I knew there was no way I would win,“ Carlos admitted. “The amount of weight David lost was just staggering,” Carlos admitted.
Staggering is right. David lost 83 kg and now weighs only 78 kg.
But despite the suspected rift between the two, Carlos and David were happy to pat each other’s backs at the end of the day.
David
“I just thank God for this opportunity,” David says. “Carlos is one of those who pushed me to work hard, and I’m sure I pushed him too. But after the competition, we will always be friends. We got to know each other a little but later.”
Now that the show is over though, David plans to take a holiday, buy a house and plan his wedding. On the other hand, Carlos will return to his job as a less-diet-worried chef, while Aaron plans to teach his friends and family to cook and eat healthy.
So what’s next for our biggest winners? To live a fuller, healthier life. Sounds like a good plan
What about you? Can we lose weight like the Biggest Loser Asia contestants without help from a coach? How?

I personally feel that the weight loss on David looks dangerous. He doesn’t look healthy honestly. Aaron and Carlo looked much better and were glowing after their weight loss. In short, in terms of looking healthy after losing weight, it’s gotta be both Aaron and carlo. David really looks too thin and haggard.
David lost too much weight. Right now he looks like a sick old man.He is my favourite, I am sad to see him over done it.
David doesn’t look healthy after the weight loss. He looked frail and I thought he was going to collapse any moment after he was declared the winner. Carlos looks the best but too bad he didn’t have as much weight as David to begin with.
omg david looks unhealthy, it looked like he starved himself for a week. I hope that’s not the case cos if it is that would be just sad and pathetic. Having said that i still think they are all winners.
I watched all d episode…Gosh in juz few mths u guys reali work it out…I wld like 2 congrate 2 all d contestents for their effort…U reali rock guy…2 Martha plz control yr diet gal…2 all The Biggest Losser Contestant congrate once again…
Frankly speaking David look sick… i feel he has just lost too much of weight too fast… Carlo and Aaron look good
wow, good job!
Check it out… so inspiring
wow!! amazing! but i like how aaron and carlos lost their weight … they look so handsome and charming now ….
david had better put on some weight … else he looks so much older than he does when he is more fleshy …
thumbs up guys!
My fav is still carlos… as he is a very nice guy as i watch this programme since day 1…. david looked too thin though…. too bony i must say… maybe he is just too desperate too win… lol! but aaron is ok… nice guy too.. on the whole, all members of de red team & few of the blue team are nice & down to earth people…
up on the other hand, i do not lyk david’s attitude during the competition… too fanatic over his blue team… dats just so unfair & childish! even if he is so protective over his team mates, he shudn’t be saying it out for everyone to know & potrays himself as being too arrogant…
personally, i still tinks, carlos is the winner. Christine is also a good trainer… well done guys!! keep it up with the healthy lifestyle… im so proud of u red team! u may not win, but for me, u all just did!
yes i agree… david looked too sick & too frail ! A possibility that he could be aneroxic too…
and dat adds to his haggard appearance….
Would appreciate it is possible to furnish Mr.Carols Miguel email address.
Thanks
Beginning i really not into to see show but after my son start to see often, i joined in. I found there is alot to learn this people like David, Aaron,Carlos even Martha the cute one… their strength and motivation to overcome their ownself to achieve something in life.
This is the turning point that i enjoy most and thank you for showing this show on TV.
By the way, compare David, Aaron and Carlos…David really look sick, he lost a lot weight and i think it is not good for his body. He should have done it for his body and not for the money.
Carlos and Aaron much more healthy eventhough they lose some amount weight. My suggestion is lose weight but until it affect your body.
Fantastic life transformation. Good job guys! But have to say that David looked like he was suffering from terminal illness rather than looking fit and healthy. Carlo looked much healthier and fit. Very good looking too.
I am a religious follower for ‘The Biggest Loser Asia’
The final transform made my jaw drop looking at the finalist.Congrats to All…
Aaron- He look very handsome and fresher as I can see the more healthier you.
Congrats to the transformation.
Carlo- Truthfully my whole family was dissapointed that he didn’t turn out to be ‘The Biggest Loser’ but u’re already a winner in the eyes of the viewers.Your spirit,teamwork and You r such a go getter..you look great.
David-Congrats in winning the title,but you lost way too much amount of weight.In fact you look sickly.Sorry but i think u should put on a lil extra weight after this.
I was really touched when i watch it live on TV. Everybody did so well especially David. All of them look so much healthier now!
David looks like he has lost too much weight. His face is too gaunt, and it makes him look sick!
David may have been the “biggest loser”, yes, but I do not think the new him looks healthier than the old him. Carlo and Aaron definitely look better. Perhaps the organiser could impose minimum BMI to prevent future contestants from pushing their limit for the sake of winning!
I watched all the episode and I agreed with anonymous, to me David is an evil during the competition..his face..and his attitude looks too arrogant. But now, his face is worst..like a ’sick king David’ and mayb he is desperate to win.
My favourite is Carlo ( Mr.Humble) and Aaron (Mr.Cool) ..they look soo great and handsome.
For Martha, pls work more harder n harder..
They are all winners..Congratulations!
Congrats to all!! I’d have to say Carlos looks the healthiest though, and David is SKINNY! oh boy!
i really want to lose weight.
my current weight is 86kg.
my ideal weight should be 55kg
what m i to do???
Everyone sure looks better and healtheir in their smaller size except David. While there’s no doubt David is the biggest loser, i don’t find him looking better & healthier. In fact, he looked so haggard like Tom Hanks in Castaway.
With the luxury of 7 days of 10-hrs workout every week and not having to work, he can give 100% focus on losing big. Anyone can surely achieve such results. But this is not the case with the majority of ppl having to juggle between family, work & workout. That is why I salute all other contestants more especially those working around food.
I find David’s attitude being too egoistic and “kiasu” which is the main driving force behind the staggering weight loss; not so much for the monetary reward. Perhaps, he is pressured to meet the expectations from everyone since he has been the biggest loser on most of the weeks. Anyway, I applaud him for the determination he has.
yup u can but there must be discipline steps needed.
Can u sacrifice ur food without
-oil
-salt
-carbo
for a month?..
its not what u do in the gym but its wat u consume outside the gym.
your food must be in order
1.quality
2.quantity
3.taste
you can nvr lose weight if ur food taste come in first.
Am I the only one who thinks David looks better when he was heavier? I find that the ‘improved’ version of David makes him look scrawny, a tad sickly and its like he lost the spark in his eyes. Or maybe it was just a bad picture.
Congrats to David and Carlos.
Nazura is right, I agreed with your suggestion to impose the minimum BMI for the nxt coming competition.
succes always 4 u………………….
Agree with bobgabon. David comes across to me as someone who is so competitive and did it for the sake of winning the competition and not for his health. Did he starve himself? I hope now that the competition is over, he will take it easier. Or get enough rest coz he surely looks like he spent a hell lot of time working out!
enough for your body indeces is the guide, when you are way beyond what is required then disaster comes in. after a month that david did it on his own , who ever guided him didn’t do it the right way. i am so sorry for him. congratulations though david. hope you still recovers.
David looks ghastly…. seriously….. i kinda baulked when i saw the pic…. yikes….
I was kinda disappointed that Carlo didn’t win ‘coz I think he worked very hard and he looks soo charming and handsome now!=)
Sadly, I think David looks cuter when he is fat! Now he simply looks so sick and haggard, I didn’t even go WOW! Even Hafiz and Tony looks better than him.
Don’t know whether he is losing too much for the $$ ‘coz I don’t think he needs it, seeing his family’s place! So wealthy! The money is better off with me!hahahahah!
I too agree that David lost too much weight and looks sickly and old. He has gone all out just to get the money.
I had a very bittersweet taste of the biggest loser final. Seeing those people who managed to lose weight to make a change in their lives was great! I salute Hafiz and garry and the rest for trying so hard. very impressive. I watched Carlo and David when they got home and they looked so good and healthy How ever during the final I was disappointed to see Carlo and David. Both looked very unhealthy and haggard. Someone please tell them to consult for their ideal weight and stick to that.
Losing weight is good….loosing weight until you can collapse (which both of them looked like they were about to do) is not right. Aaron was (to me) was glowing with health. Good to see he knows when to stop and maintain.
Yes, indeed David does not look healthy. Perhaps, the organisers of the event should not allow the finalists to go home and train on their own. This is to avoid cheating – to starve to get weight loss, instead of exercise and healthy diet in compliance with the programs. All finalists should stay in campus until the finale, so that there is no weight loss through other means or by other means except in accordance with the progams. In this way, it is fairer to finalist.
oh my gosh they finally did it they are all the winners
oh david..pls put some weight coz u look like a sick old man but to u congratulation coz u r a winner after all..and for carlo and aaron both of u look more macho’s now keep it up and to martha!! oh no she’ll get back the old martha.
David had a better “glow” during the show, my family and I were all shocked to see how sickly he looked, so quiet (unlike him) and seemed low spirited, tired and hungry. Though it is unhealthy to be fat, it’s unhealthy to be too thin as well, he must find a balance between the 2 borders and the key is the stay healthy, not skinny.
I wished Carlo would have won the Biggest Loser Asia as he has a really good attitude and very humble, calm guy! Way to go!
Aaron looked much better as well, (btw cool hair) and looks more active and energetic than ever before, keep it up cool dude!
Martha Martha Martha, just stop yum-cha-ing and control yourself! Lets change you from cute to sexy!
Marilyn and Christina look so sexy after losing those pounds too~ smoking HOT!
Judging from how he look 1 month before the finale (he was wearing a tight fitting shirt that shows off his biceps) and how he looks at the finale, i seriously doubt he lose that weight by going to gym. Either he suffers from a terminal illness or he has been starving himself. And I think the producers should be looking into this, because after all Biggest Loser is about losing weight the healthy way. What kind of message are they sending by crowning an anorexic-looking person the winner? Maybe they should add one more criterion, the former contestants get to vote for the healthiest looking finalist. If you let this go one time, all subsequent Biggest Losers will opt to starve themselves in order to win.
with David’s attitude during the game, I’m not surprised if he starved himself just to win…pathetic. he lost focus on what the show wants to achieve.
Carlo looks really great and handsome. He has a pleasant personality and the previous comments just goes to show that he a winner . David looks too thin and sickly. He may have won the competition but may lose out on his health.
Yes, I agree with you all, David look sick and too thin.. I think his over ‘DIET’. I like carlos and aaron look young and energetic. Sorry to say, for me David is lose because i saw he not healthy anymore..
David is so arrogant and so insecure to carlos. in the finale, david looks like a sick old man that doesn’t eat for a week or two. david is too despearate to win…
I feel that Carlos deserves to win. The finale shows how he continue to keep up his lifestyle and shed more weight in a healthy way. A very down to a earth man. He look radiant after weight loss.
David looks too hagard. If I hear correctly, he work out 6 days a week & 8 hrs in the gym. I guess it’s over doing for his body.
Amazing Feat.Congrats to all the fantastic participants.Only the courageous went forward.Many wished they could, but chickened out.Well the weight loss on David is making him look hagard.Do put on some to look better,as too thin gives a sickly look.But you made it David.Congrats.Same goes to Carlos and Aaron.You guys are good motivators,keep going.
my fav is carlo!!! he look so damn good after he losing weight…i think David look awful and sick…Too much workout maybe…
congrat to all of them….but to KING DAVID???, he look OLD/SICK, sorry to say this…. to king?? please dont force u r self k….. can see even from TV…. go for it Mr Carlo n Mr Aaron….Tahniah…………..
When i saw David walked out, was so shocked, he looked like he just finished chemotherapy, he really looked sick, haggard and lost some hairs too.
Will he be a good poster boy? Think Carlo looked so much better and healthier.
I have been an avid follower of Biggest Loser and I hav never seen a winner as sickly and ghastly looking as David.
OMG!! why does David look like tat? maybe he should eat slightly more and work out to look lean and nice..not anorexic!! Well…didnt like him at all during the competition….looks sly and up to no good!!
Any how..think all of them did it great job!! not easy losing tat much of weight!! DETERMINATION and WILL POWER!! Congrats!!
Fav is still carlos and Aaron!! wooooohooo!! Looking GREAT guys!! All the best!!
‘King’ David definitely overdone his body to win the title. I hope he has been eating healthily not just for losing weight sake. Extreme weight loss can do more harm than good if not careful. There must be right balance all round. Carlos appear healthy and great. Aaron is good too.
Losing weight should make a person look healthier and better but I can’t say that of David. He has certainly overdone it. Now he looks older, definitely sickly, less handsome, very tired looking, fragile and about to collapse. I am sure this is not the message this competition is giving to the viewers. I hope the people behind this programme will revamp it to include a wellness condition that finalists must have before they are declared the winner. The competition should not encourage abuse of the health of the body, even if it is temporary, just to win.
David and Carlos, do look after yourselves after this. Health is most important. As for Aaron, whoa! Your weight loss is so sensible. You really look fresh and good.
David may have lost the most and won the contest but he looks awful. His eyes look alarming in his face. He was better looking with more weight on.
The other two look good especially Carlos. Good job!
I think David looks sick..
he looks like a person with HIV or something..
what the doctor say about this? is it okay to loose so many weights like that?
perhaps, david means to win the cash then go and beef himself up. That wld be a devious plan. LOL. I think looking healthy should be one of the requirements of the game. David vs the other two speaks for itself!
i am a religous follower too…I wld watched on wkends if i missed on tuesdays…..I like blue team coz their team spirit and i tot the red team abit over in creating the filipino alliance(no offence ya) coz this is abt one self and not abt the country u came from….even said tat i think carlo does look like keanu reeves now…both he n aaron r nice….david on the other hand are overdoing it for the sake of the $$$ thus he looks extremely old…
they shld hv voted Tony in instead of Martha as Tony looks good now
Ya, david could have been more mature in the show. He looks terrible, starved and it’s like cheating to win.
David, bigger eyes, lesser hair!
OMG!! David looks so scary i dont know how old is he now??, he looks like 60yo! or more, look so sick hardly talk and walk,he looks so old!! gosh what happen??, i tot all fitness first gym got lots of mirror hmm wierd. i’m sad Carlo didnt win, but he is obviously so good looking perhaps can become fitness model soon. Aaron you looks good too but may need to loose more to get your ideal weight. you definitely makes malaysian proud.i think the best result is definitely Carlo, even i’m Malaysian, i love the spirit shown by him.David, i’m sorry, you got attitude problem, everyone saw that throughout the show. anyway u won, congrats but do put up some weight or else u will looks terible during your wedding. David why dont you shave ur head and clean shave ur facial, i think it will make u looks better. Martha, i dont really see any tremendous change happen to you since the last episode b4 the finale, so do the rest of the contestant except Garry and Tony. which i still consider them as “big”. i think the female trainer is putting some weight too and Dave duku now looks skinny.The finale show is too messy and too long, sarimah is wearing not suitable dress, this is not OSCAR girl, i wonder who is the wardrobe manager definitekly wrong dress.. hope they will improve more in the second season.adios, no offend
Think the winner loss too much weight and now looks very sick and undernourished. He needs to get back to a more realistic weight… or risk losing his life…
David may be the winner but not the healthiest compared to the other finalists. He really need to put back some weight to look good. Hmmm, he look better before the finale.
David looks so frail and weak and haggard and old. I wouldnt want to win if I look like this. I wonder if the programme organizer do check on what they do after they go home. It looks like David starve himself to win. He has not much muscle like Carlo where he showed he worked it out and that his why he looks fit and healthy.
This could be dangerous if someone starve himself or herself to win.
i think David fiancee is now bigger than him hehe
Well done Carlo & Aaron..they did it perfectly. David seems like he was carried away, ending up lost. No doubt he won but I think he needs help.
Not to forget, Kevin..he looks healthier..
Martha.. oh Martha… is more like a lost case… sori but it’s true. Though Aaron and Carlo lost a lot of weight but they look healthy but David drastic lost makes him look sickly and haggard. I dun tink it is good at all. Looks like this program is about just losing weight and not promoting healthy lifestyle.
Yah, I was shock to see what the host was wearing… it’s so inappropriate for the event. Her stylist should at least dress her sporty or trendy. Maybe she came from an earlier wedding dinner.. haha.
i’ve watched the final last night but gosh!!!david look so sick and it is not normal to lost that weight!!!why he have to punish his self just to win……hope next time they also put in their category that not only who lost a lot of weight must win but also who looks healthy and don’t abuse their body just to win…he looks pittyful,,m so sorry..
David looks unhealthy anorexic individual. pls gain a bit you will look better:)
Yuks, David looks definitely old, not something
I wanna look if I have to loose weight. Sure he is not anorexic!!
David looks like someone just out of a concentration camp in WW2! WTH…. to win it is commendable but this way….? He must have not eaten for 60 days!!!
David looks so haggard, balding and old. I think he is such a desperado who is willing to risk losing all those weight just for the money. Sorry David, I think you look great when you first started.
David may be the biggest loser but he does not look good as the other 2 finalist. He looks so frail and haggard, imagine the amount of time he required to tone up all those flappy skin……I prefer the cute chubby and gradient look before. Carlos will still be my best choice for the Biggest Loser Asia, Good Work Guys!
david’s weight loss is just too much, there’s a difference between being lean and healthy, to a dangerous weight loss. aaron and carlo are winners for me. David, start eating the “right” food now.
I personally think Carlos or Aaron deserve to win. They looked way healthier than David. David may have lost the most weight and fat loss, but he has overdone it and he looks more like a sick patient. I believe I have not seen a contestant that looked this sick in the past seasons of the Biggest Loser. As the winner, I believe he/she should look healthy so as to set a good example to people out there.
They are all winners but to me, Carlos and Aaron are the greatest winners!
to me, i think the winner here is carlo…he is the best….david looks like a grandad….aaron looks stunning….but what about martha?
I was rooting for Carlos to win. I think Aaron and David look much better. Carlos looks so handsome. As for Martha, I think she needs to control and have self-discipline. As for David, I think he has lost too much weight. He looks sickly … very unhealthy looking. Maybe he push himself too much to want to win that he overdid it.
Congratulations to all the winners. Aaron and Carlos looks so refreshing, their transformation really made them more physically fit. They are a good model of success especially in terms of attitude and character.You’re so awesome men.
Looking David, i did’nt recognized him, he looks worst, he looks sick. I think he overdone it. A little bit of advise, he should change his attitude as well, too arrogant and too bossy, at the end of the day, no matter what success you have achieved its always your character and attitude that will keep you on top.
I m a fan of The Biggest Loser Asia. I have been following the series since day 1. Its great to see how tis competition transformed all the contestants lives.
All along i have guessed that David will emerge as the biggest loser winner & finally proven. His determination, drives and will-power finally paid off. Praise the Lord!
I agreed with most of the comments that David does look older, frail and sickly after his weight loss compared to Aaron & Carlos who looks healthy, younger and handsome. Maybe David will look better if he put on another few kgs since the competition is over now.
David may seem arrogant but i think deep inside him he feels he owe his team mates a sense of loyalty afterall they r blue team family against red team family since the competition began.
Cheers to all the contestants and keep up with the good work!
I am not a faithful follower of the programme, my children are. We saw how David looked at the finals and were shocked, he looked as if he has lost too much. I felt the need to discuss the difference between healthy and losing weight. My children had to learn that winning may NOT be about losing the most weight as it can be dangerous to lose too much weight in too short a period of time. I hope impressionable viewers do not get caught-up in the ’slim is beautiful’ idea.
Next question : how long will it take for them to put the weight back on?
Look at David,he looks like a person suffering with Hyper Thyroid problem.(Grave’s diesase)
Any person who loses weight the right way will never look like David but more like Carlos and the others.
what happen with David? is he sick? Aaron is more charming after lost.
it’s horrible…. no muscles at all…. look at him… he is sick…..lose fat , retain muscles …. not lose everything……it’s terrible
I’m keen to see what is the organiser’s response to the comments. I think this is the first time that the winner doesn’t look anywhere near healthy. And this is a real bad and dangerous impression on weight management. It’s not all about how much weight is lost.
And the production team has a lot to learn too. Was it poor quality props used when the finalist made their grand entrance? Not to mention the “technical glitch” that caused the delay of the live telecast. And the wardrobe stylist and hairstylist? Oh dear…
Congratulations to all biggest Loser, i really admired them because they really put so much effort not only to win the prize and also to loss weight..As for David, i think he need to put little bit of weight so that he can looks better.As for Aaron and Carlos both of you did well too and looks good at the same time. I think Biggest loser not only loss weight but must looks good as well than and it will make the viewers follow the step of biggest loser contastants.
Well, watching the Finale on TV and looking at David while on his way to the scale makes me look scared, He looks like he going to collapse or something like that.. He like into illegal drugs right now. Compare to Carlo and Aaron which looks great after the weight loss.
David, put on some weight. it not good to here that the winner of biggest loser asia was seriouly ill.
Carlo, Sala Bistro restaurant is the best. hope to see you there.
david, you played the game too hard that you became haggard and awful! but still congratulations! to carlo, for me you’re the winner man! to aaron and martha more to lose but you look better! good job guys!
My favourite is carlos, he goes steadily. I could see by David’s face that Carlos is his real treat so, we don’t really know how David pull off such a weight. Staved?? Anyway, good luck to all…
for me the 3 runner up is the bigget loser,they lose weight they look healthy,david you gone to far,its look like your starving yourself just to win but sad to say you look sick, gain some weight for God sake! your not a good model men….!
carlo,your hot!hot!hot! marta,your sexy and gorgeous..
aaron all the way your hot too….
First of all, congrats to all of you for making a good TV show. However, I prefer Carlos to be the winner. Aron looks good in his shape. David…my god, you should be one of the characters in Lord of the ring..Smeagol perhaps…sigh…you lose too much than what you should.
Honestly, I think the winner should be selected by whom has lost the weight and look healthier like Carlos and Aaron…Loosing weight only is not enough..what’s the point loosing weight but looks like an ‘alien’ and unhealthy like David..weight loss is suppose to be health control but here it seems like loosing weight is equal to loose your health…it shows a bad example to others that it’s ok to look unhealthy and fall sick as long as you look slim and thin…what will happen if everyone start to loose weight without concerning about the health like the Asia’s biggest loser winner..anyway congrats to the winner and to Carlos and Aaron you both have done a very good job…keep it up guys….
Carlo is defenitely the winner
David looks horrendously haggard. I can bet my bottom dollar that before 2010 ends he’ll pile those 83 kilos and more….To me Aaron and Carlo are the real winners, not to forget Baby Kevin who lost a further 20+ kilos since he left the show. David is so tunnel-vision in his quest to win, I hope he reads this and takes this as a challenge so that he doesn’t ‘lose’ the battle. Biggest Loser Winners have ,ostly piled back the weights….
we always watch this program every week and find it interesting . The final weigh in is somewhat frustrating, especially when you see David’s look. Maybe next time before the final weigh in the contestant must undergo medical check up if they are physically fit or they are using some kind of drugs to loose weight. In Davids case , we think that he is desperate to win the money and not considering his health, I bet he cannot run a mile non stop. An arrogant and selfish animal.
I think David doesn’t look healthy.. he must have done something differently to lost weight.
Take care yourself David.
Carlos you are still the winner and Aaron you look so much better. Both of you have lost weight in natural way.. good luck ..
Hh, David really is The Biggest Loser. He looks sick, like he is going to collapse anytime. This only shows that sometimes the fitness instructor is clueless about being healthy and looking good. All too often they preach that beauty lies in the weighing scale. Because that’s how they are able to measure their key performance index, and prove their worth of how much you pay them.
Congrats David on winning $100,000. But you are also 100,000x uglier. And some things, money can’t buy.
Well.. this is what happens when people make losing weight a competition, on reality TV. The goal is not about gaining confidence or feeling good about your self image, like in real life. It becomes all about the weight, the prize and the pressures of being in the eyes of the public can push a person to reach for the extreme.
Should losing weight be a competition?… That’s the fundamental question. And why were the fitness instructors on the show encouraging losing weight as a competition? For the normal person, it is often good enough to get on a healthy side of your BMI. You how awry this can get when it becomes competitive, and like in David’s case borders on being gaunt and sickly?
David is an example of how it could go wrong… I am perplexed at ppl rewarding or applauding this kind of behavior. This is a distorted way to look at body image or health and fitness.
I am all for losing weight. But it’s not about chasing BMIs or percentage of weight lost. I’ll say it again, losing weight SHOULD NOT be a competition.
David may be the biggest loser but look what has the weight loss done to him. Although he might be healthy now but he looks much older. He looks haggard. His face has sunken in and when next to his fiance he looks about 10 years older. Although the other participants have also lost extreme weight, they do not look like David. David’s face does not have the glow. Anyways, keep up the good work everyone. A job well done.
i dun like david. ego, sacarstic. love carlo n aaron. its not about loosing weight only, but its about looks healthy. david is not healthy, he just look like a dead man.
David is definitely on something that the show did’nt find out.
I’m loyal to the TBLA program. I enjoyed them very much, but regret to express few contestants were wrongly picked right from the beginning: Desmond, Damietta & Del. They “left”, and this act was very selfish to others who were more deserving of the opportunities. Everybody could see in the finale (except for the absent Desmond), they didn’t even look they have done something to themselves. My opinion is, next audition should ensure contestants are HEALTHY; no PAST history of kidney stones, ligament tear etc that can be quite frustrating for us to watch when they were hospitalized in-between the episodes!
To God be the glory…amen. Maybe you have lost a bit too much, so few kilos more would be good for you. All the best for your future plans…the wedding, healthy lifestyle & family life. God bless.
Try not to allow the contestants say the f*** word. Like Martha, Nadia, Christine. Even the trainer Kristy. Too much! We have kids watching with parents.
I must say we have exemplary contestants; Aaron, Carlo, David, Garry, Marilyn & Tony. They are good inspirations for believing in yourself.
Heartiest congratulations to David, I suspect you would win
its a good reality show..motivated everybody how to lose weight and build up self confidendence,congrats to all winners:
i) David – instead of looking fit, u look sick..put ‘a little’
more weight
ii) Carlo – last man standing fr Red Team, proud of u
iii) Aaron – keep yr cute smile
iv) Martha – put more effort so u can hav a hot bod!!!
Aaron so hencem,smart and awesome…..
if he always go to gim,i’m sure he got a muscle…huh so briliant….
nice job to all of you….(^^)
I think that the people behind this show should take some action on David’s drastic weight loss. They should put him on a fitness test to test how fit he actually is. I’m sure he will fail miserably as it definitely looks like he has been starving himself.
Carlo and Aaron should be given prizes for staying on track and keeping healthy and loose weight instead of being this over competitive person willing to cause detriment to his health just to win!
Ridiculous and disapointing to see David win this way. He was always a sore looser anyway…
I think David looks very old and sick…. The winner of the biggest loser should not only manage to reduce weight but should also look HEALTHY… But for Aaron and Carlo, well done and congrates!!!
The winner looks like a sunken something..i dunno how to describe but aint look good at all. He look actually better before he joined except with excess baggage.. But still, impressed with the weight loss!
Carlo and Aaron look more healthier than David. David should put a little more weight because he looks like old man. I LOVE CARLO & AARON…Gud luck and congrats to both of u. May God Bless u 2…Amen…
Kudos to those who survived and became better with the program.
But what’s next? The biggest vegetable eater? We all know vegetables are good for us and we don’t eat enough of it. Same goes with weight loss. Getting fit and trim is good for you, but a lot of us are not motivated enough to get it done.
Therefore it’s a great idea to produce “The Biggest Loser Asia”. So… same principle goes… “The Biggest Vegetable Eater Asia”… and let’s wait a few weeks for a contestant to turn green or orange from carotin overdose and give him/her $100,000.
I stress again. WEIGHT LOSS SHOULDN’T BE A COMPETITION. It’s NOT ok to be obsessed with fitting into the pressures of society (or a competition) just to win a prize. That’s the problem with supermodels. And here we are objectifying heavy people to not look at the big picture of health, and focus on the weight.
Seriously, the judging matrix of the show should change as well. It should make you a healthier, more confident, more fulfilled and a better person.
Not superficially based on amount of weight lost. That is the bigger problem, as demonstrated by David’s final look.
Carlo you should be the winner. David you definitely don’t look good. Anyway Aron, Martha and the rest of the contestants, you are the insiparation.
David looked like he got himself marooned for a whole month on one of the Indonesion isles, then swam here for the finale!
Kudos to Carlo and Aaron for looking the way they did at the end of the competition. In my book, they are the winners.
Carlo deserves to win. I think he worked very hard and stayed with healthy diet and exercise regime. Aaron look good too!
The same can’t be said about David. He looked better with some flesh on his face. I thought he was going to collapse on stage. The rest of the contestant were dancing and prancing except David. He is too skinny. I don’t think he did it the healthy way. He look frail..like he just woke up from a coma.
He took this competition way too far. I’m not sure whether it’s even safe for him to be that thin. He was overweight now underweight (I think).
Anyway, congrats to the winner and congrats to the rest for losing that much weight!! I think all of you look great.
Garry, what you did was so sweet. I hope you and your wife will always stay together.
Aaron, you have a cute family! Malaysia Boleh!!
omg!!!!!! 3 of them makes big changes!!!
We witnessed USA’s BL champs like Bill & Eric at the finale. Even though they had lost so much weight they look healthy with their well built muscles. It’s actually a simply basic formula- If u have done series of exercises or workouts u will (MUST) get a healthy and well build muscle. Biggest loser is not only the competition of weight lost, it’s actually far more than that. The champs must show how they had practice healthy workouts. They must know the right weight according to the Body Mass Index calculation.Being over weight & under weight is actually not a good example to others.
I hope David will put some weight back to his body. He looks scary. Or maybe the cameramen did not do his job well.
David is only 25 yrs of age, now he looks like he is 50 plus..its encouraging people in the wrong direction. David not only looks skinny, but scary as well. I hope season 2 would not turn out this way..
David is so thin that his head looks so skeleton like. Can only see his ears jutting out.
david looks haggard.and sick.i think some people are meant to be chubby.like martha and rashmi.gary looks good too.and carlos really does look like kaenu reeves.but my favourite is tony.but whats important is being healthy.congrats to all.
Congratulations to all, very inspiring. Carlos, you were our favourite, sorry you didnt win…you have a great character and that shone during the whole competition…God willing you will all keep up the great work and mantain your health and weight.:-)
i totally agree that david look sick and haggard and sooo old!!…he looks wayyy better when he’s chubby…
David doesn’t look healthy, he looked old.
david looks like he’s going to die from anorexia. was his overall health and eating habits been monitored?.. hope he takes care of himself well
well–i dont think david look healthy after over lost that 83kg of weight.Carlos and Aaron look much better. did u think that david took the indonesian traditional medicine (JAMU)????
to david,.. u look very old last night. pls put on some weight before ur wedding day. u wont look nice in ur wedding photo if u r 2 skinny. 2 b honest u look much better 3 month ago.
Looks like USD 100,000 and the fame proved to be David’s undoing…..not toned, don’t see any muscles, looks really terminally ill. Guess it’s a matter of time before news breaks on how he really did it. Carlos won clean & square in my opinion. The producers need to fine tune the show so it gets the right message across on healthy living. The show could show more exercise segments too instead of keeping everything under wraps.
Oh my god!! David? he’s too skinny…
But all of you must know this is the competition that give a really GOOOOD prizes, plus the brand new car..So, there is no word that describe David is sick or what, it is just he is really wanted so badly to winning this competition. Maybe after this show end, he need to recover back about 20kg perhaps..
David was too weak even to celebrate, he was not like the other biggest loser winners. there was also a time he almost keeled over while he was about to hug somebody. he just looked sick. money is a great motivating factor but he should’nt have used it as his main goal (winning) and risked his health. kuddos to carlo for getting 2nd place, great job man!
Should they change the title to “Asia’s Search For The Next Anorexic Person” or something. : )
David doens’t look healthy at all. And come on, working out 8-10 hours daily is just not realistic. Carlo is still my fav and he’s a winner alright!!
doesnt he looks awful yes “he diid it “but what really happen to him ….david pls do something
