Do you think they make an effort to find couples with similiar BMI's? I wonder what the results would be like if they started with the very similiar BMI's.

The other couple looked great (and I too loved the classy way both couples behaved to each other), but still had some work to do. I thought it was the first time winning seemed unfair. I know the show is called the Biggest Loser and the other couple lost more weight and had a higher weight loss percentage, but it was impossible for Lael and her husband to lose that amount. No one could say they still needed to lose weight. There was very little left for them to do, regardless of how much effort they put in. They were more likely to gain weight in muscle. In my opinion, the scales were unevenly tipped between these two couples -- so much so, that it was impossible to have a real competition. What do you guys think?
