Rebecca Meyer
Rebecca Meyer may have lost 73 pounds on the Biggest Loser ranch, but in the weeks after her elimination she gained a boyfriend: fellow contestant Daniel Wright.
"We didn't really like each other all that well in the beginning, and went from not liking each other to becoming friends to becoming best friends. After we both left the show, we wanted to spend hours on the phone talking to each other. I fell in love with my best friend," Rebecca told reporters the day after her elimination aired.

The Biggest Loser - Shay Sorrells, Daniel Wright
During the first week on The Biggest Loser campus, Daniel Wright — who competed on last season's The Biggest Loser: Couples — chose Shay Sorrells, the heaviest contestant, as his partner. Together they were Team Orange but were eventually disbanded when pairs became Blue vs. Black which then became singles. In a week when not one, but two, contestants were sent home, both 20-year-old Daniel (who started at 312 pounds and now weighs 224) and 30-year-old Shay (who began at 476 pounds and is now 322) had two of the lower weight-loss percentages. The dismissed duo discussed their nine weeks on the ranch.
TVGuide.com: How did the opportunity to return for another season arise?
Daniel Wright: I was at the finale of Season 7 and producers said, "Would you be willing to [do a "second chance" season] and we start filming in three days." I said, "Wow. First off, I'd like to rest, but second off, sure. I have so much more weight I need to lose and I need to go, so absolutely."
TVGuide.com: Were you worried you'd be targeted because you were a past contestant?
Wright: Oh yeah, absolutely. I knew that I could be targeted because...

Tracey Yukich, The Biggest Loser
Tracey Yukich spent her first few days on The Biggest Loser ranch in the hospital, only to come back and game-play more than any other contestant. Dubbed this season's villain, the 37-year-old homemaker from Texas created enemies all around her, betraying some of her allies when she won the power of choosing teams. After being up for elimination against roommate Liz, Tracey — who's not sharing her current weight until the finale — was ultimately voted out this week. TVGuide.com caught up with the mother of four who has no regrets about her time on campus and says she has "amazing relationships" with the other Biggest Loser contestants.
TVGuide.com: Do you think you played the game too hard?

V
ABC's remake of the 1980s sci-fi miniseries V drew big numbers, the best rating for any new series premiere this season.
V attracted 13.9 million viewers, easily outperforming NCIS (Tuesday's most-watched show with 19.4 million viewers) among adults 18 to 49. It was also the best 8 o'clock debut by a new series since ABC's Lost.
The big boost from V gave ABC — which also aired a Dancing with the Stars results show (14.5 million viewers) and The Forgotten (7.6 million viewers) — a fighting chance against CBS' powerhouse Tuesday lineup. Ultimately, the Eye 's combo of NCIS: Los Angeles (15 million viewers) and The Good Wife (12 million) led the network ...
