The Biggest Loser Season 18, Episode 10: And the winner is…
We’ve finally made it to the finale! Who will win the challenge at home, and which of the top three competitors will take home The Biggest Loser title?
Way back in the first episode of this season of The Biggest Loser, we knew it was going to be epic. The twelve competitors were divided into two teams, coached by Erica and Steve. Now we’re down to the top three, and a quick reunion for those who have been competing at home.
Who is the winner going to be?
1. Jim DiBattista
The only remaining member from the Red team, Jim started out at 385 lbs. He struggled throughout most challenges during the season, but hammered the weight loss over and over again. In fact, he lost more than 10 lbs. for four straight weeks. His total weight loss was 105 lbs. at the end of last episode. His homecoming is incredibly positive.
2. Micah Collum
Micah started at 326 lbs. with a ton of emotional issues. Ultimately he proved to be the true challenge beast of the show. When he’s motivated, he is difficult to beat. He lets himself get down, however, and it can hinder his progress. How much does he add to the already 72 lb. weight loss? Considering how delicious Southern sweet tea is, his challenge at home in Oneonta, Alabama is serious. In fact, the first two weeks home he only lost two pounds.
3. Kyle Yeo
Last but not least is Kyle. He started at 302 lbs. and lost a total of 63 lbs. while on The Biggest Loser. Coming out allowed him to have the strength to embark on the epic weight loss journey. Support from loved ones could take him to the win, and his parents even met him at the airport.
First impressions
At Home Competitors
Kim: She’s a little smaller, but not a massive difference.
Katarina: She struts in the door with high waist pants, and has a legit waist to go with it.

Domenico: He walks in with a blazer and looks much more trim than before.
PhiXavier: Not to be a hater, but it looks like she gained weight.
Robert: His face is definitely thinner.
**Top 3** Teri: She looks pretty stunning in a long red dress. The beauty queen past is more evident.
**Top 3** Megan: She’s thinner, and has some sagging skin. That means big weight loss.
**Top 3** Kristi: She looks great, and has a seriously sassy attitude.
Final Three
Micah: He looks very trim. His jaw line is pronounced.
Jim: Wow. Jim looks like a stud in a charcoal blazer and a black undershirt. There are Clooney vibes, and he completely reversed his Type 2 Diabetes.
Kyle: Definitely smaller, and a significant weight loss

The Biggest Loser Weigh In
Kyle feels like a winner, and feels great no matter what. Jim is ecstatic to for his life and his family, and gives more credit to his wife than himself.
Micah
Starting weight: 326; Final weight: 227; Total weight loss: 99 (30.37%)
Micah is obviously thrilled. There is genuine shock among the other competitors. One pound shy of 100 lb. loss. That first week home with all that delicious Southern food could be the difference.
Kyle
Starting weight: 302; Final weight: 216 ; Total weight loss: 86 (28.48%)
The outpouring isn’t as huge as it was for Micah, but it’s probably because everyone knows he’s not the winner. Nonetheless, he’s definitely a winner because he looks completely different.
Jim
To be honest, there is not much drama here. Jim lost over 100 lbs. before leaving the show, which puts him nearly at 26% already. What’s another ten pounds or so. Jim is a weight loss machine.
Starting weight: 385; Final weight: 241; Total weight loss: 144 (37.4%)
