Biggest Loser's Evil Be-yotch Claims She's Really a "Sweetheart"

Ousted contestant gives us behind-the-scenes scoop on what really went down and how she's doing now

"I never had that feeling that I was going to be portrayed as the villain this season," last night's Biggest Loser eliminee, Tracey Yukich, told us today.

What? Seriously?!

This coming from the girl who seemingly went out of her way to make life miserable for her teammates every single week?

We don't buy it. Not one bit. This girl was out for blood. She consistently manipulated the game...sacrificing a week's worth of workouts with the trainers, eating cupcakes and splitting up close partnerships all in the name of winning.

Regardless of what we say, when we caught up with Tracey, who lost 44 pounds while on the ranch, she defended her game strategy and claimed she's really a "sweetheart."

So what's her excuse?

Before going on the show, Tracey and her husband agreed she wouldn't "play the game." Then things changed. "Who knew what was going to happen on the first day and how scared I was?" Tracey said, referring to the heat stroke that landed her in the hospital on day one. "I tried out for The Biggest Loser three times. I did what I had to do to make sure I could stay on the [show] as long as possible. I have no regrets."

Sure. But that doesn't make you a sweetheart, hon. That makes you cutthroat.

Still, Tracey admits she "wasn't surprised at all," about being voted off. "I was surprised that Shay didn't vote for me."

So were we! Why did Shay stick her neck out for the most unpopular girl on the ranch? "You don't see behind the scenes. We are friends," Tracey said.

Speaking of behind the scenes, we've always wondered what a typical day on The Biggest Loser really looks like. Tracey told us the contestants work out from six to eight hours a day. Yes, you read that correctly.

Wake up, work out, breakfast, work out, lunch, work out, dinner, sleep. Rinse and repeat.

Not quite our picture of a day on a ranch.

Like her or not, we couldn't believe how well Tracey's doing at home. "I'm not choosing to share my weight with anyone right now, because we have the finale in five weeks," she said when asked how many pounds she's down. (For those of you nonjunkies, there's a cash prize given after the final weigh-in to the contestant who loses the most weight at home after being kicked off.)

The fiesty diva had a message for the other voted-off competitors. "Don't count Tracey out. Trust me when I say, I'm going to finish exactly what I started," she warned.
