In this week&#8217;s challenge, the pounds were dropping off faster than ever. And just to show each of the remaining Biggest Loser Season 8 contestants just how far they have come, the contestants literally carried their weight one last time for their final challenge. They had to run suicides holding their weight, and at each stop, drop off the right amount, then put the weight back on and take it off to symbolize their weight loss journey. Allen won the competition easily demonstrating once again, what a powerhouse he really is. The contestants also had a pop quiz to show some financial savvy with Suze Orman, and get tips on how to eat healthier in the economy.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"liz young biggest loser contestant\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/11\/mike-morellis-biggest-loser-recap-episode-8-11\/\" target=\"_self\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-14527\" title=\"biggest loser episode 811\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/biggest-loser-episode-811.jpg\" alt=\"biggest loser episode 811\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This was the most important weigh-in to date.
