David Gurnani, an Indonesian man, has won weight-loss reality show The Biggest Loser Asia (TBLA), organised in Malaysia.
Gurnani, 25, beat 15 other contestants who underwent a gruelling three-month exercise and fitness regime. He took home 100,000 dollars and a car, reports the New Straits Times Online.
Gurnani, whose starting weight was 157 kg, is a salesman who wants to "look compatible to his fiancee, have good health and a long life, and make his family proud". He has been the contest's weekly winner thrice.
TBLA is Asia's first unscripted weight-loss contest and invites viewers in the region to root for their favourite "warriors" battling the bulge.
Over 2,000 people auditioned for the show, a spin-off of The Biggest Loser (TBL), which has had eight successful seasons.
The 14-episode contest hosted by Malaysian celebrity Sarimah Ibrahim saw participants surrendering their mobile phones and Internet access to undergo punishing weight-loss training at a boot camp in Alor Gajah, Malacca. (ANI)

Meet Asia's biggest loser - David GurnaniIt was rather dissappointing.Carlo should have won.He was actually doing everthing in the realworld...balancing family time, work and his time for exercising..He looks healthier...How could a person consider themselves in a real world take 2 months unpaid leave and just exercise..and looks sickly won..wat nonsense..Of course he can afford just exercising..he is so rich...
anyway..i am a malaysian..Carlo deserves it better... |

Meet Asia's biggest loser - David GurnaniI’m rather disappointed to see the winner, David looking frail and sick.I think he must have starveed himself just to win the title. He doesn’t deserve it...in my opinion the winner should look healthy and fit besides losing weight and not looking so sick and haggard like David.Carlo looks fitter and healthier and should win! |

Carlo - the bigger winnerAgreed. Carlo should be the winner for this contest as he did it in the fair way. The moment I looked at David, starving and taking slimming drugs immediately came into my mind. He looks so weak and haggard. He is just 25 but he looks much older than my 42-years old husband. Not to mention his hair lost and loose muscle. Oh my goodness. This is definitely not the product that Fitness First want to get. |

biggest loser asia winnerCarlo should have won as he looked healthier, happier and just plain great. Gurnani on the other hand looked like he was going to collapse. He looked sick. He looked like he needed help standing up. How can someone who looks like that win a competition that promotes healthy living. It sure did not look like he got there following a healthy lifestyle. Was winning that important to him that he had to starve himself to winbecause it looked like he was starving. |

Commenting TrinityWhy do I get this strange feeling that the above three commenters, 'nonsense' 'gunugunuk’and 'jini' are one and the same person? |

OpinionYa,watched the show, concurred with the above comments. It’s just not about drastic weight loss. Carlos should be a model winner. He definately look healthier & fitter. Ya, King David looks like he gonna fell off anytime. Look frill.Maybe the competition should change some rules to send out the right message of reducing weight the healthier way. |
| By smarties, 03-11-10, 03:20 AM |
very surprise100% agree.. King David doesn’t look healthy.. Touch wood.. we don’t want to hear any bad news about him falling sick in later days... |
| By Apple, 03-11-10, 04:09 AM |
So SadTo be frank.. David is not qualified to win the competition even though he loses much of his weight by starving him self.. Carlo is suppose to be the winner because he looks more healthy than dave.. Infact he is the winner!!! In think the asia biggest loser orgernizers are not objective |
| By fLower, 03-11-10, 04:16 AM |
congratecongratulation for the winner.. he deserved to be the winner.. deep in my heart i want carlo to be the winner .. hehe but its ok la.. |
| By Dreamchaser10, 03-11-10, 06:10 AM |
| I really hope King David just losing his weight but not his health. If losing weight is the ONLY objective without taking care of one’s health. Then I think First First(the main sponsor) is sending the wrong message all togather but fitness!!!! |

| David should hit the kitchen and start gaining back some weight and his youth... |

Commenting TrinityGunugunuk here..hey I am who I am & not Jini or Nonsense..I don’t think we are from the same country or state..though.its just that we have the same opinion. I’m also a fitness trainer & for people like us losing weight means not only losing weight but also being FIT and HEALTHY.I’m not really against David but he just looks sick, haggard & frail, his muscles are drooping & not toned..he looks so old, almost 3 times his present age.where was his usual cheerful self?I’d prefer his cute & chubby self!lol!During the finale his speech was slightly slurred & he seems to be staggering to the car which he had won.Its a shame to see a winner looking that way as compared to the rest of the team who lost that night..Carlo, Martha, even Aaron seems fitter & healthier, Tony and even Gary!However all of them are winners in their own ways-CONGRATULATIONS all of you. |

carlo!!!!yes carlo should win |
| By A Malaysian Indian Man, 03-27-10, 07:55 AM |
...and the prize is 100,000 dollars and a brand new car!David was man enough to risk his health by starving himself to win such a prize. Hey, common dudes, any of you would have done it if there was such a prize in your grasp’s reach. |
| By care, 04-24-10, 05:50 AM |
carloscarlos you are a winner, david is total looser, he will soon die and leave all his money he earned...... all to the grave looser! |
| By Nestor Agung, 04-01-10, 04:57 AM |
What is the limit? Health or WeightWe marvel at the efforts and determinations but why would a guy who has yes the biggest loser of weight be the winner when he looks sick and unhealthy. Does the end justifies the means. The sponsors should put a limit as instead of winners thet would have sick people with chromic and pathetic sick bodies. There should be a limit of health measure here. Carlo shold be the winner. Healthy, strong, clean loking and definitly sane! |
