Firefighter sent packing from "The Biggest Loser"

Columbus - An Indiana firefighter was voted off of an NBC reality show Tuesday night.

Columbus resident Allen Smith, who also serves as the Bartholomew County Coroner, lost a 2-1 vote and was eliminated from "The Biggest Loser." Smith had lost eight pounds in this week's episode, but his percentage of weight loss was fourth highest of five, putting him up to the vote.

The episode wasn't a total loss for Smith, however, he won a football-related challenge and earned a $5,000 check for St. Peter's Lutheran School in Columbus to be used toward athletic equipment. The end of the episode showed Smith in front of the school's students presenting the check, complete with a visit from "Blue," the Indianapolis Colts' mascot.

Smith later appeared on "The Jay Leno Show" to show off his current physique. He told Leno he now weighs 200 pounds, down 125 from his initial weight on the show. He then showed the host and guest Charles Barkley how to make a healthy pizza at home.

"The Biggest Loser" airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. on Channel 13.
