Frado is next on the scale. He goes from 248 pounds to 221, for a loss of 27 pounds. He says that that's great, and he's happy with it. He hopes it's enough, especially given the stiff competition that is Patrick and Ada. Bob tells us that Frado isn't the game-playing guy he once was, but rather the family man. Thank goodness. Frado has lost 146 pounds total, and 10.89% tonight.
Ada and Patrick are left to weigh-in. Ada steps up on the scale, and is feeling nervous. She goes from 179 to 167, for a loss of 12 pounds. Ada notes that she did struggle for the first few weeks, which is a lot of time lost. Bob is surprised, given Ada's customary stance of blowing up the scale. Ada is disappointed, even though she's lost a total of 91 pounds since coming on the show. Tonight, she lost 6.7%. That puts her below even Elizabeth. Oh Jesus, if Elizabeth winds up in the top two I quit.
Finally there's Patrick. He needs to have lost more than 21 pounds to land in the top two. He goes from 279 to 244, for a loss of 35 pounds. He crushed it! Though he's had his moments of douchebaggery, I can't help but be happy for him. He seems like a fundamentally decent guy, with a lovely family. Patrick lost 12.54%, which means he finished first in this weigh-in and joins Frado as a finalist.
This means that Elizabeth and Ada are below the yellow line, and it's up to us to vote one of them into the top three. I mean, there's no choice, right? Each of the two yellow-lined ladies makes a plea to us. Elizabeth starts by thanking us for our support (that's not directed at me, obviously). She feels like she's come a long way. An obviously bawling Ada says that she's treated this competition as the chance of a lifetime and pushed herself so that she took adequate advantage of it. She wants to be an inspiration for us. And then the audio keeps cutting out, but whatever VOTE FOR ADA. Now! Do it! You can text your vote if you don't care about shilling out 99 cents, otherwise, go to nbc.com and vote for free. FOR ADA.
Next week: Finale! Who will have glitter rain down in their honor?
