04/15/2008 (08:00PM - 10:00PM) (Tuesday) : "BIGGEST LOSER" REVEALED IN SEASON FINALE 

Plus, Third Finalist Determined By America's Vote Will Be Revealed In First Five Minutes Of Finale!

BURBANK, CA – The winner of NBC's hit series "The Biggest Loser: Couples" will be revealed in an exciting, two-hour live finale on Tuesday, April 15 (8-10 p.m. ET). And the contestant who won America's vote to be the third place finalist will be revealed in the first five minutes of the show!

In this season five finale, all of the contestants will return for a special reunion and a chance to weigh in one last time – and show America how much weight they've lost since the beginning of their weight-loss journeys. Adding to the finale fun will be several surprise guests very familiar to "Biggest Loser" viewers.

In last week's episode airing Tuesday, April 8, there were four finalists left. At the final weigh-in, Alison Vincent (Mesa, AZ) and Kellie Fields (Titusville, FL) from trainer Jillian Michaels' "black team" both came in above the yellow line, earning the highest percentage of weight loss for the week and securing their spots as two of the three finalists competing for the $250,000 grand prize.

Mark Kruger (Dartmouth, MA) and Roger Shultz (Enterprise, AL) of trainer Bob Harper's "blue team" fell below the yellow line, and in a surprising twist, learned from host Alison Sweeney that viewers – not the other contestants – would determine which of them would be the third place finalist by voting at www.nbc.com. America's vote will be revealed at the beginning of the live finale, and then the eliminated player will weigh in with the other 16 eliminated contestants to compete for the $100,000 "at home" prize.

Then it's the moment viewers have been waiting for, when one of the three finalists will be named this season's "Biggest Loser" and win the coveted grand prize of $250,000.

Alison Sweeney is the host, and Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.
