For fans of The Biggest Loser's Ramon Medeiros, there was probably no doubt in their mind that he would return after his elimination, win the marathon, and return to the competition for the finale. He did just that and stood besides Antone and John as each one weighed in for the $250,000 grand prize. That reward ended up going to John, but it seems like Ramon left a winner as well. Today, we spoke to him again to hear more about the marathon, finale, and his relationship with Jessica.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Your red team seemed so strong this season but you lost Patrick and Courtney early on. Was that tough for you and for team morale?
A. Ramon: Losing Court and Patrick was hard but we were a strong team no matter what and the young guns will always rule....

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: After your elimination, I interviewed you and you Tweeted me that you were going to crush that marathon. Are you stood on the starting line, was there ever any doubt in your mind that you would finish first? That was some serious determination!
A. Ramon: As I stood on the starting line of what would be one of the hardest challenges of my life, I knew I was ready and it just so happened that my toughest competition was Jess. But if I can keep up with her, there was no one on the ranch that could come close. I trained to win!

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Tell us a little more about your relationship with Jessica. When did it grow beyond friendship?
A. Ramon: Our relationship started fast. As soon as we started to feel good about ourselves, we were open to being more then friends. It was like fate and I found my other half.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Besides Jessica, who are you the closest with?
A. Ramon: I am closest with both Patrick and Vinny! They have become some of my best friends and we will always be best bros, dog pound!

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: You were all kinds of pumped up at the finale and that was great to watch! Can you describe how you were feeling and what it was like to be on that stage?
A. Ramon: I knew what ever happened I would be proud of what I had just accomplished and how much we all had changed our lives thanks to The Biggest Loser. I was just so happy because no matter what I already won, I earned my life back, became healthy, did what I set out to do and did everything a hundred percent the right way plus, as an added bonus, found the love of my life.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: What's next for you?
A. Ramon: What next, everything! There is nothing I can't do - the sky's the limit! I am super excited that Jess and I are able to help people change their lives just like we did by coming to The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge where we are trainers. And what better way to live The Biggest Loser lifestyle than to live at the resort!
