Abby Rike voted off Biggest Loser


Last night's episode of The Biggest Loser was really bittersweet -- during the last chance workout, we saw Abby Rike finally realize she found herself and remembered how to live again instead of going through the motions after the horrific accident that took the lives of her husband and their 2 children. But after the Black team lost the weigh-in, Abby sacrificed herself for the team, saying that she knows she's where she needs to be mentally and she's going to be okay.

Plus 1 million points go to Abby for overcoming something that I know there's no way about 98% of us never could, and for kicking her own ass at the same time and dropping over 80 pounds. Here's hoping you can win the at-home contest, Abby...you deserve it!

Abby Rike: Biggest Loser's biggest heart


The Biggest Loser premiered last night, and I already have a favorite -- Abby Rike. Abby is starting off the show weighing I think 273ish, but that's not the reason I'm pulling for her. Abby was married to who she says is a great guy, they had 2 kids together. Abby's husband and her 2 daughters (one toddler, one newborn) all died in a car crash...which has obviously had a HUGE impact on her health and weight because of the stress and depression. But she's on The Biggest Loser right now ready to change her life and work through everything, and I seriously think this woman will have EVERY viewer behind her.

Abby's strength to keep going through one of the most heartbreaking situations I've ever heard of, plus try to change her life, gets a plus 400. Get it done, Abba-dabba!
