Thoughts while watching Biggest Loser Finale

I wrote this all down while watching last night but haven't gotten a chance to post it until now.

--Dang America! Why did you vote Mark to be eliminated?
--Most guys probably think I’m a bit of a wuss for watching this show and being so into it. The emotional aspect of it draws me in. So to you I say…William Wallace was emotional. Jesus was emotional. So there…put that in your back pocket!
--I didn’t think that guy Lynn was going to really put in the work and lose weight, but…weigh to go old man—lost 80 LBS. Can’t complain.
--Dude! Curtis—150 LBS! That’s insane.
--Bernie, you have an unfortunate name, but dude, you rock! I have to confess that while I have a lot of respect for Mark and all that he accomplished, I like you Bernie. Congrats on the $100K, you deserve it.
--Your teammate was pretty awesome too. Brittany brought it all the way; she is totally hardcore, gave it up in the challenges every week.
--Ali!!! This chick deserves to win it. She fought hard all the way, she’s got a great heart, and beat all the men! Congrats on the $250K. Anne commented on my last post and said the thing I meant to say regarding her.
--I’ve heard there’s been a special following up with all the past contestants from previous seasons to see where they are at. I’d love to know—did any of them put it all back on and return to their old lifestyle? Without Bob or Jillian to kick your butt, I can see how life would make you want to return to it.
--Sometimes I wish I had four months to do nothing but get in shape. But 4 months of investing in the kingdom of God is way more worth it.
--While a ton of lifestyle change has happened, and these people have chosen a different path for themselves, it is not their salvation from sin. Only in a life surrendered to Jesus Christ is all this lifestyle change ultimately beneficial for eternity.
