The Biggest Loser’s Rebecca: I’m in Love With Daniel!

Rebecca Meyer, the latest competitive dieter to be eliminated from The Biggest Loser, revealed tonight on The Jay Leno Show that, though she didn’t win, the grueling experience was more than worth it.

And not just because she lost more than 100 pounds.

“Daniel was my best friend, is my best friend, and after leaving the show we talked for, like, five, six-hour conversations and then…he told me he had feelings,” Meyer said of fellow castmate Daniel Wright, a refugee of season seven who returned for season nine to “finish what he started” and then got the boot a week ago.

And even though he still isn’t the Biggest Loser, he at least won Rebecca’s heart. (And no wonder she cried so hard after last week’s elimination…)

“Daniel and I have gone through the same thing,” she told Leno. “I mean, he’s gone through an even more intense version of it, and I fell in love with my best friend.”

How perfect for two people who definitely deserved a sweet treat
