Biggest Loser 50 States - E1
September 21, 2006 by Renee @ 10:35 AMCategory: Pop Culture, The Biggest Loser
Normally I do minute by minute live-blogging of The Biggest Loser, but a 2 hour season premiere meant: Nuh uh.
Instead, I'll just wrap up what I thought about the show and starting next week the real recap begins.
The Hostesseseseses:
In the first ½ of the show StTWA seems to have just worn a bra under her blazer, w/one button dangerously coming close to busting those puppies loose. And what's w/the "Jell-O $250,000 prize"? Is that a gimmick? @ the end of it all is Bill Cosby gonna come out w/250 grand of Jell-O products. I would riot.
Oh Bob, even when he tries to be mean, saying people come to the show expecting hugs thinking they know him but not this season, he's still such a softie. There was a scene where he chewed them up about working out and right before he left the house practically said, "Does anyone need a hug?" 
…give it up angel boy, you are no Jillian.
Speaking of Jillian, I hate to admit it, but, I didn't miss her. @ least not like I thought I would. The new girl, Kim, is okay. Perky enough. Almost too perky. A little more perk and she would've ventured over into bugs me territory. She has an amazing body, and seems to be trying to be herself, not another Jillian.
The Contestants:
- Well my state didn't make the cut. Matter of fact, I don't even know what Georgia looks like.
- When they did the group weigh in, @ 14,300lbs, of course I had to do the math. 14384/50 ='s an average of 287lbs per person.
- When the other 36 got dissed, only 14 stay @ the ranch, I felt so bad for them. I thought wow, now they are going to drown their sorrows and derail themselves further. I was happy they gave them the tools & incentive to work it out @ home. Whoever loses the most, comes back to the ranch.
- When they brought sleeping bags to the gym, I smirked, "Well they don't call it 24 Hour Fitness for nothing."
- Why was Trainer Kim sleeping w/her sneakers on? I mean even Trainer Bob had common sense to take his shoes off 
- What in the holy hell haircut did Bob get himself into? Is that a Mohawk? A mullet? A mul-hawk? Whatever it is, either grow it out or get if off my screen. Pronto!
- Either NBC has clout or the state of Cali knows better than to mess w/14 287lb+ peeps trying to lose weight. The show commandeered a real live bridge for a challenge…bwah!
- The first group challenge, when they shoved each other over the wall, I would've been the first to scream, "That better be your hand and get it the hell outta my pudge!"
Talk about being too close for comfort. I had to avert my eyes during that segment. Way too much inappropriate touching.
- Also during that segment, why was dude from Florida, Wylie, wearing hot pants?
- Red team shouldn't have did the Joey Tribiani fake out tricking Trainer Kim into thinking they lost when they really won. Later, that move would prove to be fatal, when Trainer Kim comes in and they really lost and she couldn't get the youse-guys-are-a-pulling-my-leg-aren't-ya look offa her perky little face.
- Men with bushy hair always mean a makeover mid season, where the facial hair is removed and the afro's are tamed.
- When Bob broke out the turkey meat, peeps seriously looked pissed.
I mean come on last season he rolled up in a meat truck, what'd they expect? @ least this season he's giving them bread and fixin's w/the families edition they ate that meat dry on a single lettuce leaf.
- Okay, seriously, where can I find me a sensitive fire fighter hubby like Tennessee Bob *swoon* he is gonna be hot stuff in a few more weeks. Trust me.
- And speaking of Bob, who let Sideshow Bob on the premises? (lest he find my blog like other biggest loser contestants) I keed, I keed.
- I didn't like the snarky put down Kai tried to give the beauty queen Jen. It made her look petty and mean. Especially when Jen gave the Minnesota lady a classy kudo. Plus weight or no weight, Jen is so freaking pretty. She could be Wonder Woman.
- And WTF? Minnesota lady, you seemed to take Jen's 8lb loss pretty personally. Sheesh.
- I'm so proud of Beauty Queen Jen for losing 66lbs on her own. I'm even prouder that I no longer have fuzzy TV and can read the endnotes of the show 
- This is exactly how I feel when I do my ab routine
- @ the end, Team Red lost 98lbs or 14lbs per person. Team Blue won, by losing 108lbs or 15.4lbs per person. A whopping 5% of their total body weight. I totally crunched the numbers over here.
All in all a great show, when I started to tear up 2 mins in, I knew they had me. As per usual, extremely touching and motivating. I can't wait to see what antics the contestants and trainers bring this season, I spied Bob standing on someones chest!!!
I'll be here after each show to give a recap, w/a side of snark

I loved the show and as for taming the Fro.,Ken is my friend and after leaving the army, let it grow baby, we love you her in WA and in Oregon and he is looking hotter than when he was in the military. The show had it ups and downs and Jen should have stayed and big mouth temper trantrum should have been voted off, even Ken can make a mistake. Jen left with grace, this was my highlight other than my friend Ken of course.
