How much is too much?"The Biggest Loser" crowned its Season 15 winner on Tuesday night, but some have criticized the show for allowing 24-year-old Rachel Frederickson to drop from 260 to 105 pounds, going from a size 20 to a size 0/2.It's a pretty shocking transformation, as she lost 59% of her body weight -- and even the trainers seemed visibly surprised by how much more she dropped in the time between when they finished filming and the live finale.

NBC's long-running weight loss competition show "The Biggest Loser" crowned a winner for the Second Chances edition Tuesday (Feb. 4) -- who was the biggest loser out of David Brown, Rachel Frederickson and Bobby Saleem?
Before the final weigh-in, contestant Ruben Studdard reminded us all why he's an "American Idol" winner, as he performed a lovely R&B ballad about following your dreams. We love you, smaller-velvet-teddy-bear Ruben.
When it was time to climb the scale, Bobby went from 358 pounds to 170 pounds, which is a loss of 188 pounds and a percentage of 52.5 percent. Rachel went from 260 pounds to 105 pounds, which is a loss of 155 pounds or 59.6 percent. Holy crap.
The last one is David, who went from 409 pounds to 187, which means he lost 222 pounds or 54.3 percent, which is not enough to beat Rachel. Rachel Frederickson is your "Biggest Loser" for Season 15.

"The Biggest Loser" returns for Season 15 with a new theme, "Second Chances," a celebrity contestant, and some exciting new twists.
For the first time in "Biggest Loser" history, the trainers, Jillian Michaels, Bob Harper and Dolvett Quince got to sit in on casting sessions and help pick the Season 15 contestants. They will also have a brand new "trainer save" at weigh-ins. Each of the three trainers will get to save one eliminated contestant along the way.
As was revealed earlier in the summer, "American Idol" Season 2 winner and Grammy nominee, Ruben Studdard, is getting his second chance at reality competition show fame -- and a new lease on life -- as the first ever celebrity contestant on "The Biggest Loser."
Other contestants include Olympic weight lifter Holley Mangold, who hopes the show will help whip her into fighting shape for the 2016 Olympic games, and Rachel Frederickson, a former nationally ranked...
