Tiger in the Woods finds Biggest Loser

Tiger Woods Walks on Water

Finale 2009: Tiger Woods watched as Eastern Connecticut’s Rudy Pauls of Brooklyn got into NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” finale Tuesday, losing an additional 43 pounds during his 60 days home to earn a spot in the final weigh in next week. $250.000 is at stake.

Tiger Woods said that he let his family down and was very sorry about transgressions that he committed with all of his heart. He said that he hadn’t been in line with his value system and the behavior patterns that he wished to display to his family. He acknowledged that along with everyone else on the planet he has faults and is not perfect although he did not elaborate on what perfection would entail. He is dealing with his behavioral and personality failings in a shady spot. He referred to feelings that should be shared only by his family.

Rudy Pauls meanwhile was happy that his total weight dropped from 442, when he began the show, to 253 pounds. “I haven’t been this light since high school.”

Danny Cahill, lost 59 pounds in the 60 days home. Viewers voted on which woman will be up against them — Liz Young or Amanda Arlauskas.

Tiger Woods is a very well-known person that doesn’t need to lose weight as he is a professional athlete. He does not like tabloid scrutiny although Sandy Hutchens figures he might be used to it.

Rudy Pauls ended first in a 26.2 mile marathon run on the Pacific Ocean and was the only one to run the entire way, even though he said he had never run more than 13 miles before. He also beat his personal goal of fitting it in less than 5 ½ hours. He was motivated by his old partner

Pauls seemed to be having a more difficult time in his time home, trying to fit in training along with 12-hour workdays. But he remained focused on his goal of getting into the finals.

So who is the biggest loser this week? Who is the fittest?
