Antoine is a very ambitious, personable and caring young man. Helping raise his younger brother has forced Antoine to grow up fast and become the leader he is today. Antoine's father passed away from heart disease at the young age of 30 and Antoine is afraid he will share the same fate if he does not change his life now. Being raised by a single mother, Antoine took on the role of being man of the house and always tried to set a good example for his little brother.

Antoine struggles with developing a regimented gym schedule because he travels quite a bit for work. Now that he has slowly packed on the pounds year by year, Antoine knows he will not be able to provide for his mother and brother if he does not stay fit and healthy. Antoine plans on using the same determination and diligence he puts into his career at the ranch. He would love to get into shape to live a healthy lifestyle for himself and the rest of his family.

Antoine in love with Alexandra!

Antoine's Facebook Page

They always say that first impressions are everything. Well, one of the first things I noticed about Antoine is his big grin and his even bigger heart. Despite all of the drama this show is known for, I hope he continues to shine forth with his outgoing and positive attitude. Smile big!

Antoine,

I just finished watching the show and wanted to let you know I think you and Sean did a wonderful thing for Shay. What a difficult sacrifice to make and yet you both made without hesitation, putting someone who was more fragile than yourselves ahead of greed or gameplay. It renewed my faith in people this week, so thank you!

You look fantastic in your after photos, and what a great twist to find out you and Alexandra are dating! You make a lovely couple and can't wait to see you both at the finale!

Well done - I wish you had been on the show longer, but you obviously got the tools you needed to continue at home. Thanks for being such an inspiration, stepping up to make a difficult choice and reminding us what character and integrity really are. I wish you continued success!!!!

I sooooo respect Antoine and Sean!! What they did tonight so that Shay could stay was truly one of B.L.'s finest moments!!

How wonderful it is to see there are still some true MEN out there in this world!! I'm so sad to see them go (esp. since Tracy is staying... seems so unfair), but I so respect and admire them.

You both are truly awesome! I'm so glad I witnessed what I did tonight with the two of you making the sacrifice you did... I was in tears. It's rare to see someone willing to sacrifice and give up something they really want for someone else... esp. two young men.

The contrast between their character and behavior and Tracey's is so huge! I wish I could continue watching Sean and Antoine's stellar character on the Ranch vs. Tracey's behavior.

I wish them both the best and hope they continue to lose weight.

What a great guy! He's looking good too! That was so cute at the end, seeing Alexandra and Antoine... young sweethearts.

Inspirational! Selfless actions and the continued weight loss at home. It was wonderful to see Alexandra and Antione together...hope it's long run

It seems like Antoine's unselfish gift to Shay was rewarded by his at-home weight loss, as well as a wonderful relationship with Alexandra.

Just wanted to wish Antoine good luck with his continued healthy lifestyle and weight loss. He is an inspiration to many because of the way he sacrificed himself for the sake of someone who needed the help more.

Also, good luck with Alexandra! You guys look great!

So happy for Antoine & Alexandra...what a sweet pair! =)

The sacrafice made for Shay was exceptional, I hope she makes the most of it.

Antoine and Sean are on the Today Show - Antoine looks HOT!!!

Alexandra was there, too.
