Rebecca Meyer -- the latest contestant to be voted off NBC's The Biggest Loser - lost over 100 pounds in the weight loss competition -- has gained a new boyfriend.

On The Jay Leno Show Tuesday, she revealed that she has fallen for fellow contestant Daniel Wright.

"Daniel was my best friend, is my best friend and leaving the show we talked for like five, six-hour conversations and then, you know, he told me he had feelings," she said.

    Seriously? I mean - seriously? He's too young for her and she's too pretty. But love is blind, I guess... Best of luck to them both.

    I am happy for them! And the difference in age doesn't matter, there is almost 5 years difference between my husband and I, and we've been married almost ten years now.

    I am very happy for them.They look like very nice people and deservehappiness. Yes it makes sense to be with someone who has gone through the same journey. Its just not the same with people who don't know what its like. BUT UH-OH i think Rebecca you just stole your guys thunder..He was waiting to reveal it at the finale! oops!

  • November 18, 2009 - 10:04pm eww

    good for them there big make a good couple hahaha

    all the best players have been thrown off. I'm so happy for these two! :) I know there is an age difference but I think what Danny has gone through makes him wise beyond his years.

    I am soo happy for them, and any who is not, needs to shut up and get a life, and stop hating!!!!

    I like both of them. I think its awesome their dating, but the age difference might hinder the relationship in the future. He's just 20, she's 25. That's a pretty big gap, considering she's probably thinking marriage and kids, and he probably isn't to that point, yet.

    ewwwwwwwwwwwwww. Gross!!

    Arianne, Wow what a nice comment. You sound like a very unhappy human being. It is a proven fact that people who want to bad mouth people are just very unhappy with themselves. If you are a truly happy person you don't care about what everyone else is doing.

    I think Amanda needs to go. She is so annoying. Miss. "AMERICA VOTED FOR ME! OH MY GOODNESS I HAVE TO WIN FOR AMERICA!" needs to shut the fark up already.

  • November 18, 2009 - 2:40pm Lynne

    I'm sick of Rebecca saying that she's not just a pretty face

  • November 18, 2009 - 2:39pm L.A. Hills

    While I am glad Rebecca got voted off, I just can't see these two in a relationship, Amanda needs to go next she should have left last week instead of Shay.

    Matt and Suzy are married with children as are Marty and Amy for those of you who are freaking out about it.
