I’m kicking myself for not posting this yesterday, as originally planned. Now it looks like I’ve gone all immunity-bandwagon, but here it is regardless… My pick for this season’s Biggest Loser:

I looove her. I loved her within the first ten minutes of episode one. She is positive and competitive – a great combo! I’m so glad she stayed on the ranch instead of her loser partner, Laura – what a clown!

NBC tells me, “Tara is a very charming young lady who carries herself very well. She’s a “real” person, doesn’t sugarcoat it, and is easy to relate to. Tara has become a plus-size model for a top New York modeling agency, graduated from NYU with honors, and accepted a financial analyst position at L’Oreal. With all this success, Tara feels she hasn’t accomplished the most important goal of all: losing weight.”

Go get ‘em Tara, and make me proud! …and ditch Laura as soon as you can!

Blogger’s note: my second pick is for Kristin from the Purple Team. She is BIG and motivated, and as we learned last season (though a frighteningly close call with evil Heba), the biggest girls have the best chance of winning in the end.
