Great job Phil! You look fabulous! You were one of the strongest competitors of all the contestants-- wish you could have been one of the finalists. But regardless I am so impressed by all of your dedication and am sure you will blow everyone away at the finale. Best wishes, can't wait to see you then! :-)

This is the part of the show that I dont agree with. Should be voting off the weakest link, and not the guy who has carried the team. During the show they said it best, Phil is the reason Red won all the challenges they did! Job well done Phil!

Phil--Great job! Keep up the good work. You were my favorite contestant and I was sorry to see you go. I hope you reach your goal weight by December. I believe you can do it!!

THEY DID A BAD CHOICE VOTING YOU OFF BUT THEY WILL NOW SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCE OF LOSING THE BEST PLAYER IN THE TEAM THAT HAS CARRIED THEM. DON'T MEAN TO BE MEAN BUT THIER LOST

So much for the red team winning another challenge. Unless the challenge involves performing CPR on Kim who will probably have a coronary when she finds out what happened.

Sorry to see you go Phil, you were a lot of fun to watch on the challenges.. Even the "boat" one.

I don't know what Bryan was thinking! Why would you cast off the person that takes you home in every challenge. You had to know AMY was going to go for Phil to protect herself. So why would he do the same and create a tie! Red team you are now all for one, not a team anymore.

Wow both Captains now gone. I think I would have voted off david if he wasn't protected... Too bad you didn't lose more Phil, but you look good so far. Keep up the good work and win at the finale.

Phil, you reminded me so much of my son. I was pulling for you and I couldn't believe it when Bryan cast his vote for you. What in the world was he thinking???? Yes, you were a threat to all of the players but, at that time, you were carrying your team. He had to know that the blue team would vote you off and where would the red team be without you? Oh well, can't go back and change anything but I sure am looking for you to show them all at the finale. You can do it!!!!!!

Phil.. You look fantastic! I don't know what your team was thinking voting you off. Look what you did in this recent "strong man" challenge! Your team was in last place and YOU carried them. Of course the blue team voted you off because you are such a threat! You definately showed them.. You look AWESOME!!

The red team is over. However, I am so proud of your accomplishments. You are strong, you're looking great - so LIVE. And the very best to you.

Phil,
REMAIN PROUD AND STRONG. YOU DID GREAT AND I KNOW YOU WILL CONTINUE YOUR NEW HEALTHY EATING HABITS AND EXERCISE AT HOME FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. GREAT FAMILY BY THE WAY. SUCK IN THE GUT HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH AND EAT TO LIVE NOT LIVE TO EAT.

Sorry to see you go. I am sure you will come back at the finale in great shape. I have no favorites and it hurts to see anyone voted off since everyone seems to really want to be there for all the right reasons. I must say, the Red team was already cursed with their self serving Kim the coach. I hope her contract does not include another season.

Best of luck to you. You sure didn't deserve to be voted off.

Congrats to all of the "biggest losers" who have lost any weight at all (especially while being scrutinized under the camera). I do not understand the 'Phil carried the red team to victory' comments; it took the entire team to achieve enough weight loss to stay out of elimination, while Phil's weight loss was very impressive it was not enough to keep the team safe. That being said, I believe Phil and all of the members of the red team are exceptional mentors for anyone who is looking to lose weight.

The biggest loser has the worst elimination process.This way the winner is going to be a real big loser cos the deserving got voted off being the biggest threats

We were sure sorry to see you voted off, but it probably was because you were the biggest threat. My husband & I thought you were the strongest player of all the teams, and we just said last night that we thought you could win it all! It appears that you are doing just great at home, though. Good luck and keep us the good work.

Hated to see you go Phil. Couldn't understand why the team did that. You were the one that carried them through weight loss and challenges. The team will live to regret their vote. Red team is out of the running all together now. Kim will have fits when she hears what the team has done - she even warned them that Phil was their best shot plus you never let the other team make your choice.
Also Kim - watch your mouth it does not become you to use the "F" word.

Phil you really look amazing. I can't believe you were voted off. I told someone just last week that if you they didn't vote you off before hand I thought you would be the winner. I can't believe the team voted you off. I agree with others, if it wasn't for you the team wouldn't have won the challenges. They will regret their decision. Best of look to you and I look forward to seeing your progress at the finale.

Phil:

You are one of the few on this show who exemplify leadership, determination, commitment, gratitude, and perseverence.

Losing weight is a huge issue, and we're elated to see the post-story that reported you've lost 108 pounds!! Keep going for it Phil.

You are tops in our book. You took your team to new heights, you motivated them, you inspired, you carried them when they could not post the results, or win challenges.

We will miss seeing you and can't wait to see the finale where you're going to jettison past everyone!!

Good luck!

They won't make it far with out Phil. He was a great asset and the one who kept the team together. Not a good move on the red teams part...

I dont even want to watch the show anymore. See ya buddy.

Great Job, Phil! You look awesome... Not a good call on the red teams part - voting you off! You were their biggest asset!

Phil,

U were a great player. I didn't want u to go. Bryan did a BIG mistake. He betrayed the person who chose him to be on his team; and not only that, he basically did himself in and the red in too. The red team will lose without u. Bryan is not very smart. Oh well... Good luck! U are looking great!

So sorry to see Phil go. He was definitely my favorite contestant! The red team is going to go straight downhill now, because Phil was their pillar! Sounds like things are going to be mixed up a bit next week, so wouldn't be surprised that teams are all but wiped out and teams are paired up or something like that. Keep up the good work Phil, you look great.

Phil:

Great job!!! Keep up the good work. You should not have been voted off. I'm sure you'll show up for the finally looking great.

Phil you look amazing!! We (my twins and I) were shocked that you were voted off!! You were carrying the red team. You have amazing leadership skills along with a physical prowress that really made you a formidable competitor. Blue team was right for voting you off as you are THE biggest threat right now. The red team esp. the ones who voted you off should be kicking themselves. Best of luck to you and your family!

Phil,
I was shocked to see you voted off you were a true leader, but for the entire group you were the biggest threat Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see you at the finale!!

I'm still in a fog from last night. I can't believe he cast a vote for you. He knew it was going to be a tie and that it was no way the blue team was going to vote Amy off. For what she's no threat. She should have been a bigger person and went home on her own. She was wining the first week.

Phil was really good looking over weight but WOW is he hottttt now. Good Job!!!

I LOVE THIS SHOW but these teams are absolute IDIOTS this year. It is way too soon to be looking at teammates as a "threat". Bryan - what were you thinking!! You are still a team and to eliminate such huge forces as Phil, Jim and Jerry were bad moves. Phil was my favorite - it is so great to see how happy he is today. Good for you Phil - we will miss you!!

Phil,

Way to go Phil!!! Your determination shined through during the whole show. Keep up the work for you and your beautiful family, and all of us who are rooting for you to show us the amazing, fit man that is inside of you. You give me inspiration.

Thank You!

Phil! You ROCK!!! My daughter and I were so rooting for you! We are so bummed that you got voted off!! You truly are a winner! You looked great on your "Phil Today" video! The best of luck to you and your family! You all look great together!!

Aaaarrggghh!!!

Phil, you were (and are) the man! Bryan made a huge mistake voting you off, not only did that put the power in the blue team's hands... they could have sent him home. What was he thinking??? I hate to see you go, everyone in my family thought you were amazing and my 5 year old cried when you left.

I was devastated that you were voted off. I really hoped you would win. You have been my favorite to watch. You remind me so much of my husband. Each week I could see you losing weight & it was an encouragement to both myself & my husband to try harder ourselves. You look great & keep going!

I can't believe they voted you off. UGH. Now I really don't even want to watch the show anymore. Being a Buckeye myself (I live about 45 minutes from Columbus) you were my favorite from the start, such a strong handsome man with a great heart. Good luck back at home and I hope you continue to succeed! Melissa in Ohio

Phil you have been the strongest contestant on this show. I'm so upset that you were voted off that I hardly want to continue my devotion to watching the show. You are an inspiration to the world. You have not only inspired people to lose weight but your strength of character and great personality inspired people to be better human beings. You were upstanding to the very end and you handled an injustice in the most outstanding way. Cheers to you! Congratuations on your accomplishments!

Phil - You Rock! The goals you have set and the reasons behind them are wonderful. I hope and pray for you and your family. My father was a an athlete but as he got out of sports he became very overweight, diabetic and in pain all the time. Eventually health problems took him from us. I was 6 months pregnant when we lost him, he was 56, and not a day goes by when I don't wish for him to be here part of our lives still. Keep your focus and know how much you are loved and needed. God Bless

Phil- I was cheering you on the entire time and was so sorry to see you go home. You look absolutely wonderful. You should be so proud of yourself. You were an inspiration to watch. Keep up the great work you started!!!!

Phil,

Was sad and shocked to see you go but glad to see how you well are doing today. I admire your strenth. You kept going for you and your family. awesome!

Phil i really hated to see you get elimated. I felt that the woman should have went home. She was the weakiest link they needed you the most. But you look great with that weight that you lost and I hope u continue to be successgul in your weight lost.

Phil you were one of the Biggest losers, and in my book Amy should have been voted off. Not you, I can't believe it! If they dont split up the teams, the red team is gona be gone fast. Good Luck, can't wait to see how you look on the last show!

You are the biggest loser Phil. I know you will do great. I can't wait to see you in the last show.

Phil, I can't wait to see you at the finale. Of all the contestants, you seem to have the most committed attitude toward reahing your goals. It's probably hard for you to believe but you ARE an inspiration to others. Keep up the great work!

Phil is an inspiration. He gave 100% to every challenge. I am really sorry to see him go - I had picked him to win. But Phil, you are a fighter - you'll keep working it on your own, with your family's support.

This was a huge upset- I never would have imagined you being voted off. BIG mistake for the red team and I cant wait till next week to see what their punishment is for going into a tie! You did an amazing job and you are an inspiration. I hope you come back in the finale with the biggest weight loss! Go Phil!

Phil- you were hot before you lost the weight, now you make my knees wobble. Your wife is a lucky lady! Congrats.

AMY SHOULD HAVE GONE HOME! IM SICK AND TIRED OF HER SLIPPING BY EVERYTIME WHILE VALUABLE HARD WORKING POSITIVE PEOPLE GET SENT HOME!

Keep believing in yourself. You seem to be a person of character. Hold on to that beautiful family and plod forward. Show your team they made a mistake. You have my respect. I wish you well.

Great Job Phil. In columbus now you give everyone inspiration. I have always wanted to be on the show but never had the guts. Good look you look awesome.

you look amazing. i'm so proud of you. i can see why your team wanted to get rid of you. it is likely that you will be the biggest loser even without being on the show anymore. you are stronger and more dedicated than anyone else on the show. i know you will reach your goal for all the right reasons. best of luck to you. we are anxiously waiting to see you at the finale.

Phil, they only voted you off because you were a threat to become the biggest loser. You carried the red team. Your perseverance and dedication were evident in all you did. Keep up the commitment! God bless.

Phil, I was very dissapointed in how things went. You should have not been voted off. I believe the people who work the hardest deserve to stay in.I think it sucks. But hey it's a compliment that they see you as a threat as well. So you are the BIGGEST LOSER!! You are looking great. And i'll be looking for you at the Finale.

Hey Phil! You were hot from day one!! Keep up the good work and sorry we(I) had to see you go so soon! I really enjoyed watching you on tv! Wish me luck in my journey! Hopefully, I can be as successful as you!

Great job Phil, keep it up,by the way the red team is done you carried them!!!

I think Phil did a wonderful job on the biggest loser, he was the red teams strength. I personally think Amy should have been voted off. I can't wait to see what Phil looks like at the season finale. Great Work Phil, YOU ROCK!!!

GREAT JOB PHIL, U ARE THE BEST BIGGEST LOSER OF THIS SEASON. IM VERY SAD U GOT HOME THIS WEEK. THEY ONLY VOTED OFF YOU BECAUSE THEY KNOW YOU WERE A THREAT TO BECOME THE NEXT BIGGEST LOSER. BE HAPPY YOUR LOOK AMAZING AND I´M SO PROUD OF YOU . BIG HUGS FROM SPAIN. I CAN´T WAIT TO SEE U AT THE FINAL NIGHT. GOOD LOOK

Phil you were so inspiring to watch the last several weeks! I miss you and Stephanie and think about you often! Love your smile and your laugh can't wait to see you again soon!

Hang in there Phil, you should have been "The biggest loser", you inspired me and i want to Thank YOU! The show is not going to be near as interesting without you. If i forget to tape it now, no big deal.

I am so proud. I wish I could stop eating cupcakes and drinking beer. Go Redhawks.

phil keep the good work!

Phil was the reason I tuned in every week! I will miss seeing him and look forward to seeing him kick some butt at the finale! GO PHIL!

Phil, you were tremendous!You definitely would have won the whole competition! Good Luck in all you do, keep up the good work!!! Can't wait to see you in the finale!

I wanted Phil to stay on, he deserved to be there and Amy should've been gone. All she did so far was complain and manipulate people like she did to lezlye. I can't stand her.

Phil, You were the work horse of the show. Im proud of how hard you worked and you were the reason I watched the show. I hope you keeps up the good work.

tonight demonstrated how flawed the elimination process is. Neil is joke. A big joke.

Phil, Im so sorry to see you go. I thought that you was doing great. I watch this show every tuesday. You look GREAT. Keep up the good work and enjoy your family, always eat right, and excerise. Can't wait to see you at the finale.

What modovation you had on the show,I did not want to see you leave,and while your dropping the pounds,your turning into a very Hansome guy.!!

Phil, Not sure if you read this or any of the other ones out there.
But here goes. When the show started I said to my husband that guy looks like Phil Hawks that played football with our son Shawn in high school. I then was told it was you. WOW!!! Small world. Here you are in SC on our TV sure did bring back Memories of watching you then and now.
It was Great seeing you; Even if it was not in person. You still look GREAT Phil and Love that smile. Who knows maybe someday you will be a Fire Fighter Brother to Shawn. Very sorry they voted you off.
I really think you would have Won! I know You have won in many ways as people look up to you and love you for how you have handled yourself.
You have Touched many people. Best Wishes and Keep Up the Great Job. Can't wait to see you in the Finals or whenever we get back to OH

Wish you were still on the show! You are a hottie :)

I was so sad when you got booted by your teamates.
However, I'm so glad to hear you are doing well at home.
You have a very beautiful wife and daughter. They are so lucky to have a healthier male figure in their lives. Congratulations on your fabulous loss! I was rooting for you on the show. You were my favourite contestant to date.

The show is not the same with out you! I picked you to win this year. I don't think the people on the show understand that you are not a threat to them until the last few weeks. They should be keeping the strong people around for awhile.I can't wait to see you in the finale! Make your fans proud!

I you are so good. Work hard so you can make us proud at the finaly!

I karatee chopped the T.V. when the BLUE TEAM voted you off. I thought you were a sure winner! AHHHHHH I wish you were still on this show!

Phil, You look GREAT! You were my favorite and the show isn't the same without you. You were a good looking guy before, now you're smokin'! :) You seem like a genuine guy and had great determination and willpower. You're wife is lucky to have you--someone who is ready and willing to make a change so you can be with her in a healthy, longer life. Great job!!! I can't wait to see the changes in you at the finale!! I'm your biggest fan! :)

Great job Phil. You were obviously the best on the show. Too bad you got voted off early. They realized you would've won the whole thing hands down. I guess it was good strategy to vote you off, but it still sucks since you were my favorite.

Phil I'm still rootin' for ya'. I miss seeing you. Keep up the great work. You're an inspiration!

i was crying more than you were when you got voted off. you remind me so much of my son (you could be brothers, seriously!) and since he lives in oregon and i am in texas, seeing you every week was almost like getting to see him. so glad to see you are doing well, and as far as i'm concerned, no one deserves to win more than you do. show em how its done at the finale!!

I don't think that you should have been voted off! All you wanted to do was lose some weight and it is almost like the other people didn't want you to. You look great anyway!

You are the best contestant ever on the show. You probably was a monster on the field. I hated seeing you leave. I hope that there will be a reunion show so that we can see you again. Don't stop, the changes you have made are for life. To you, to life, a long healthy life.

I speak from a personal perspective, I have lost 33 pounds in 12 weeks. I started at 234 and have 10 more pounds to go.

Hey phil, im from Columbus, Ohio as well...Great job, weight loss is such a hard struggle in the begining but when u realize its paying off what a great reward and feeling! Congrats on all ur hard work, you are a insperation to us all!

omg u rock. i luv bl

Phil, im sorry i missed the episode you got voted off, but you were my favorite, a strong captain, you worked your ass off and never complained once, i still cant find out what you look like now but i bet your pretty bloody buff, so good for you, and have a great time being in shape

I absolutely love this show! You and everyone else are such an inspiration and have helped me to stick with my personal goals. You were an amazing contestant, and I know you've had great success after the show. Keep up the good work!

You are a very big inspiration to me because now I know that when I get older I can lose weight.

Thank You! :)

Phil You r a wonderful person,in side and out.Never stop,Its true things are not the same with you,,,,,all my prayers and blessing go out to you,cane wait to see yyou at the end,,,,,,GOD BLESS YOU...PENNY

The Biggest Loser is the only reality show I can watch and is by far the best one on TV. Phil, I was pulling for you from the start and I am sure that you would have come out on top. Best of luck and keep up the great work!!

Phil you are a true winner! I loved you on the show and wish you were one of our favorites to win!

We're just getting the show now in Australia, and we have just watched the 2nd red team elimination vote. Phil, I am your weight and know how hard it is to take the weight off. Im so sorry to see that the others have voted you off, as you have so much potential and the ability to turn yourself from a good looking big guy to a good looking thinner guy. Good Luck! :-)

Phil,
I think they have an opportunity for voted off players to come back and be in the finals and win. You are the biggest threat even away from the campus. Get a trainer and dietician and keep on keepin on. I want to see 195 phil walk away with the 1/4 million. You deserve it but you gotta earn it. The image of you with that red flag tromping up that hill while others were acting like such babies. DUDE!!! You go! I could see the football player in that - I'm watching
-Jeannine

PS: also the 61 year old dude is a threat. Now he had a really positive attitude

we couldn't believe they voted you off!!! you were the star player! we thought you'd make it to the end. Good luck in all you do! you're a hard worker and apparently very devoted to your family.

Phil,
I think that you was the greatest competitor on the red team, with you they won every challenge, you was the biggest thret. I am 23 years old and weigh 220 pounds and I have a really hard time staying away from food, what advice would you have for me?

Hi Phil! I'm six years old and I have been watching The Biggest Loser. I was a huge fan of yours and am bummed that you were voted off. (By the way....my Mom is helping me type this to you. She's trying to lose weight herself, so we love watching the show).
How are you doing now? Will you send me a picture of you? I will send you one back of me if you do! Happy Thanksgiving! Mason H.

To Bryan Reep you are the loser my friend. I pray you do not have children to teach them to talk to other people like that. You should be ashamed of yourself!! Phil you look fantastic!! Hubba Hubba!!!

Cant wait to see how you have done. You were my favorite BL. I wanted you to take the prize from the beginning, but losing the weight is more of a prize!
God Bless! Keep up the hard work.

Phil,
Since ep. 1 you were my fav on the red team. And even though everyone wasn't looking their best on ep. 1, I saw you and hand-to-God said "Wow, he's hot" lol. I was steaming mad when they voted you off the show! You were doing so well!!! I can't wait to see you and those gorgeous baby blues at the reunion show! Kick butt babe!!!!

Phil,
you were favorite player on the red team...along with my 8 year old daughter :) You did a great job and we were mad when you were voted off.You looked GREAT at the reunion show.Keep up the good work.

i just couldnt believe "B" voted for you!! god what was he thinking??!!! was he thinking he had a shot at Amy? whatever man!!!!! dang! i a still upset about that!! good jod Phil!

congradulation very proud and happy for you,but i have question : What do you do with all the extra skin that is left after so much weight lost.

Long time no talk Phil. I think it's awesome that you're so into your family. In today's society it's hard enough just to find someones dad, let alone someone who likes to take bike rides with their daughter, etc. Congratulations on making the show and doing so well.
I work at a juvenile correctional facility now, and we just started a weight loss challenge with our youth. I think you could really inspire these guys if you had the time to speak to them. I hope we can talk some time. The kids probably don't believe that I actually went to school with a reality TV star.

Phil,

You're still a fat ass and i was laughing my head off when you got voted off. It's just a show and you'll still have the title of "biggest and fattest loser"

Reep
