On last week's episode of The Biggest Loser, Adrian and Daphne earned a spot on the ranch by losing 50 pounds at home. Both came into the game with immunity, which spelled trouble when Adrian's red team lost the weigh in. They decided to send Nancy home, but she left feeling like she got her old self back and is working hard to reach her weight loss goal for finale night. Today, we caught up with Nancy in an exclusive interview to talk more about her Biggest Loser experience.
Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Was there a specific moment that made you say that you needed to try out for and be on The Biggest Loser?
A. Nancy: I never watched the show so I never thought about going on. Cassandra called me up and said, "Grandma, you'll never guess what happened. I went for an interview for The Biggest Loser show, and they want to meet you." I said, "Why do they want to meet me?" and she said, "They asked me if anyone in my family wanted to lose weight and I told them my grandma. Will you come to an interview?" So I said yes.
Q. Gina, RealityWanted: When you found out that you and Cassandra could not be on the same team, how did you deal with that?
A. Nancy: I was shocked but life goes on. You gotta keep moving!
Q. Gina, RealityWanted: The red team had their fare share of drama, especially when Adrian showed up. Do you feel that you got sucked into it or that you tried to be the one to stop it?
A. Nancy: My nature is such that if I see wrongdoing, I'm not going to go against what I believe in just for the sake of agreeing.
Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Why do you feel your team eliminated you on last week's episode? Were you upset at the time about it?
A. Nancy: I'm not totally sure why but I know my parting was just the way I wanted - in a very kind and loving way.
Q. Gina, RealityWanted: You seem to be very successful at home since leaving the ranch. What have you been doing?
A. Nancy: I'm keeping very active, eating healthier, and drinking the water!
Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Do you have a goal for finale night?
A. Nancy: I want to be 130-135lbs. Love who you are, and never give up!
