Shay Sorrells, ‘The Biggest Loser’ heaviest contestant ever, was eliminated even after breaking the record in number of pound lost by a female in the shortest amount of time.
Shay, who weighted almost 500 pounds when she started, lost 100 in only 9 weeks.
Daniel Wright who had the lowest percentage of weight loss, was immediately eliminated from the show Tuesday night.
Daniel and Shay appeared live last night on The Jay Leno Show. Shay told Jay that she has lost 150 pounds – a third of that at home since leaving the show. She reports that she has six different trainers, and works out every day after work and 6-7 hours on the weekends.
The remaining six Biggest Loser contestants are headed to New York City for the popular makeover show, with a big reveal for their family members after they have been fluffed and buffed and outfitted in body flattering attire.
Shay Sorrells And Daniel Wright Voted Off Biggest Loser
I think it is a huge shame that Shay was voted off last night. If there is anyone left on the show that really needs to be there, it is Shay. I hope she comes back and beats them all by the finale.
Shay,
Go Shay, you can do it. I watch the show every week. Your an inspiration to me. All of you that have been on the show are amazing, Shay you are amazingly beautiful. Keep up, go for your goal and your dream. julie s
so proud of both of you for doing this. You are so young and the older you get the harder it is to lose. Good luck.
I am PROUD of both of them. And can’t believe she got voted off, She needed to be there. She wasn’t there just to win, she was there to lose the weight and win her life back! You know if it was Amanda that got below the red line and it was against her and Daniel, Daniel would have told them to vote him off because she still had alot to lose.
But these to Orange teammates, have the respect for each other and everyone on the team, they also keep their Word.
Good LUCK to you Both!! I know that ya’ll can do it!!!!! Come back and beat the other contestants and show yourself that you can do it!! Yeah
I was so shock that they voted shay off the show. She really need to be there, more than others there.
But I’m proud of her and I would like to let her know that she inspire me to lose weight. I am also a really large woman with alot of baggage. She made me believe that we can do it. I just want to wish her Good luck and continue the good work.
I tuned into the biggest loser just last night for the first time. I fell in love with your spirit and determination Shay….You are an inspiration to me and will be every day in my weight loss efforts. Be good to yourself and keep working hard.
I have always watched the show because my husband has always fought severe obesity. It is a shame that it has become a show where the people that really need to be are voted off where “friends” can stay together. I hope the remaining contestants feel proud of the way “they have played the game”. It makes me wonder where the producers are going with the future of the show.
I think it is a shame that the Biggest Losser went from a show that helped people to get good health and live (which they do). To now considered a “REALITY” show. Probably because you can not get an award for a Health Show but if you add “Reality” to your discription, and have people vote you off or threaten to do so, you just might get an Award for best Reality.
I am so proud of all of the contestants, present and past. However, it has always been a ‘reality’ show. As someone who has watched from the beginning, it has only been recently where the contestants really seemed to look out for each other based on who really needs to be there. I remember one contestant who drank a lot of water before the weigh in as a strategy. His weight went up, but he was not voted off that week. Anyway, kudos to all who participate and lose the weight and even better, keep it off.
Shay and Daniel were and are such insperations to me. Was very sad to see them go. As very large people, Danny and Rudy should have realized how bad Shay needed to be there. I was very disappointed in their actions last night. Amanda really only needs to lose a little bit more weight but Shay still had a couple humdred pounds to lose. Saw her and Daniel on Jay Leno and they both look awesome.
Shay- you are truly an inspiration, you will do this and you know well it isnt easy, but always remember you are doing this for you, no one else, your determination is what will get you through, and you have it, see you at the finally beautiful!
I know that they voted her off, because she could loose big numbers, but she really needed to stay there so she would not fall back into the same routine, what a shame, and shame on all the other players. that guy who was the final vote was a dork, everyone knew he was voting her off, and he was just saying things to make him look better, what a crock
WOW….I was really upset last night. I could not believe that they voted off Shay. What are these people thinking? I was hoping that Amanda would leave she already looks good and doesn’t need to be there she could do it at home. And how about that old BAT she is so awful I have been hoping for the past 2 weeks for her to get voted off. I was routing for Shay from the begining, now I don;t know who I want to win proably Rudy(even though he got me mad last night)
I have been watching the Biggest Loser a lot more lately and I think the producers of the show should step in and put Shay back on the show. The show is suppose to be about helping people with their weight loss and they are not helping when they let other team members vote someone who really needs help like Shay off. Please bring Shay back to the ranch.
Pretty sad that Shay got voted to leave. She is still bigger than most of the other contestants starting weight. It is very unfortunate that this show has become solely about a game and money. Perhaps the “prize’ should be that they saved their own lives not about cash. I reckon that the show would benefit greatly. As of now I will not continue to watch as I really couldn’t care about a bunch of strictly self interest game players . Good luck to all the people that are truly there to help themselves AND OTHERS.
i cant belive after losing 100 pounds and breaking the female record for weight loss shay was voted out. shes not playing a game she is trying to save her life they should have voted out baby-whines a lot!!! i want to know what jillian thinks about this cowerdly game play.
All Shay did was cry. I didn’t feel sorry for her and I’m glad she’s off the show. Wah, wah.
Amanda should have offered to go home. She is 20, single with only a small amount of weight to lose vs Shay who is married, has 3 children and a job to juggle and hundreds of pounds to lose. A lot easier for Amanda to do her thing at home than it is for Shay. I agree that Daniel would have asked to be let go to have Shay remain on campus….and I agree that Biggest Loser should do something to set this injustice right. They can’t fix the world but they can fix this!
I am extremely dissapointed in the people who voted off shay!!! I think that it is amazing that she could lose 100lbs, in such short time, but she didn’t even get a chance…she still has so much weight to lose, while amanda at 202lbs,damn well knows that she could continue doing what she has started at home!! Shay has a long road ahead of her, and yes she does have great determination, but it is so easy to fall back into old habits, but with the fitness advice of jillian(who really helps shay)it would have helped her to reach her goals, and battle everything emotionally which she had just started to bring out. I hope that the producers of the show, as well as the trainers will stand up for what the show is “supposed” to stand for, and that’s to help people get healthy, not to have people on their show, to compete to win money..if they truely care that people get healthy, they should bring Shay back, and give her the chance she deserves..a chance at life!! Way to go Shay for what you have achieved! Lets stand together and vote to get Shay back on the show!!
I’m done DVRing and watching The Biggest Loser. Good for all of these people but I’ve seen enough.
Well where do I start…….I have watched the biggest loser forever. My husband was wounded in Iraq and I had four little ones and a wounded husband to care for at 320 lbs. I had gastric sleeve and in less than a year lost around 150 lbs. I watch the show all the way through my journey and it is a almost like a support group for me. I was shocked of how many people wanted shay on there…..I was all for her going. I thought daniel should have went a long time ago because it is someone elses shot. I think shay was at a point she could do it and it seems she is. We all seem to forget this Is A GAME. I dont have bad words to say about shay other than she casts judgement on others and then turned around and did the same thing and justified it. She was mad at rudy who is a fabulous guy. He said if it is just me and you left and it wasnt. I dont think he was in any way turning on her. At some point everyone has to wake up and see that yes she is very heavy but that excuse has gotten her special treatment on that show. As far as bringing her back it is a no way from me it is a show and everyone needs to see that she needs to stop the excuses because in the end she has to do it on her own. I love the old lady. She is older which means more set in her ways but she is amazing to be doing this good at her age. I see the true her when I see the bond she has with danny. It is still a show and at some point you have to get over the poor me I need another week here and do it. I think that jillian should have not gave her more attention because all of them have worked so hard to be there if not the same or more that shay and daniel. What makes it fair to pull shay through and not them. I think that is a mayjor injustice to the show. It is about living but it is also about a game and learning that the actions you take have reactions. All I am saying if it was you on there and the roles were reversed all drama aside and you gave it everything and mentally you needed more would you feel like voting yourself off because the bigger guy should stay. I think if you guys were truly honest with yourself it may shock you at your answer.
Thans for listening and sorry if this makes you mad
I read a few more comments and wanted to add that the show is a game too and who is in the right by saying they need to cheat her through………..I can not even beleive americans would want to slide someone through and justify how it is right. She lost the game fair and square and I dont see you all trying to bring tracy back because they basically voted her out due to sheer drama or any of the other contestants. It is wrong and I think if you dont like the show watch something else because being a weight loss survivor as I say it is tuff and so is life you have got to be more tuff than it seems your body can be but it is possible. Why bring her back she is doing it……….I commend shay because it is a day by day struggle but I do not think the show did her wrong. She doesnt deserve special treatment.
