Big Vinny Hickerson of the Trailer Choir may not have won “The Biggest Loser,” but he’s a winner in other ways, like with his health and his love life. His proposal to longtime girlfriend, Lori Diaz, was part of Tuesday’s show. But now that he’s not in the top-three, he’s continuing his losing ways at home. Vinny is working with a trainer, hoping to win the at-home prize of $100,000. The season finale is Tuesday on NBC.

Trailer Choir‘s Big Vinny isn’t so BIG anymore thanks to The Biggest Loser. According to People.com, Vinny Hickerson proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Lori Diaz during a date at the Grand Ole Opry. The date was filmed for the hit show, and will air tonight on The Biggest Loser.

“I wanted to take her there because it’s a place where so many dreams have come true, right there on that stage,” Hickerson tells PEOPLE exclusively. “My biggest dream is to be a great husband and a great father, and fall in love.”

After popping the question, the couple were serenaded by Thompson Square.

“I couldn’t believe they were there just for us, in this huge, amazing place,” says Diaz.

Vinny, who started out a whopping 426 pounds, now weights 314 pounds. You can see his progress and proposal tonight on The Biggest Loser.

Trailer Choir’s Big Vinny Hickerson continued his losing ways to survive another week on the Biggest Loser.

“We’re down to the final six,” he says. “It’s starting to hit us how much we’ve changed. We’ve really saved our lives.”

Hickerson calls this week’s challenge “brutal” and attributes the pain to the Jacob’s Ladder machine, which he calls “one of the hardest in the gym.”

He adds, “It’s also Thanksgiving week, so we get to have dinner with the trainers. You might see a Big Vinny original song in there, too. You never know how they’re going to edit each show, but so far they’ve made me look like a rock star, so it’s all been good.”

Tune in Tuesday at 8pm ET on NBC-TV.
