Last week we had the chance to talk with Jackie from the orange team on NBC’s The Biggest Loser Couples. Jackie told me she was happy she was sent home instead of Dan but felt it was done in a cowardly fashion. Jackie also talked about why she told Paul and Kelly to kick off team pink and also shared her current weight and goal weight for the finale.
