Biggest Loser Marathon Cheater to Re-Run
Posted on Mar 24th 2009 3:00PM by Bev Sklar
After Dane Patterson (aka Marathon Cheater) was eliminated from "The Biggest Loser" three weeks ago, he attempted a marathon at home with his wife. The show's producers shared a victory clip of Dane completing the marathon, but what they didn't reveal was they drove him three miles in a van toward the finish line.
A big public outcry followed -- this grinds against the cardinal rule of a marathon -- you never, ever say you finished The Big One if you didn't actually cover the distance. Now the Marathon Cheater is attempting redemption, scheduled to run the Country Music Marathon in Nashville next month. I wish you luck Dane. Finish all 26.2 miles (crawl if you have to) and I forgive you ... but I'm still sore at those producers.
Do you think Dane's attempt at a second marathon makes up for his initial false finish? Vote in the poll below.
