Mobicious just launched a new ringtone maker. Totally free… you don't even need an account. They'll take your music upload, you select a 20 second clip, and they message it to your phone.

People, stop paying for ringtones!

What season is the show in now? I don't even know.  I remember watching the first season, liking the premise, and then just sort of drifting away from it.  Like many shows, once it goes too much into the sob story and the crying, I get turned off.  You want to work for it and show some determination, then you'll have my respect.  But don't go crying about how hard it is, you're the one who got yourself into the situation in the first place.

In case you didn't see every single commercial, there's a twist thing time around.  We start with the Blue team (led by Bob), and the Red team (led by Kim) in a demanding physical challenge.  Both trainers are out in the desert (having parachuted there), and it's a simple footrace – be the first to touch one of them, and you're the team captain.  Then you have to pick your team.  This event could have been better, there were really no surprises.  When one last woman (Amber?) was still way behind, all the other contestants went out to cheer her across the finish line.  That was kind of cool, but at the same time I was like "You already quit.  Leave." 

There's 18 people, however, and each team only gets 6.  That means that 6 are leaving right off the bat.  Except, they're not.  Jillian, trainer from past years, is back in secret to lead this "Black" team without anyone's knowledge, including the other trainers.  In a week or so she's going to take her team back into the main game and shake things up a bit.  Neat idea.

Now, and I think this is a standard thing they do, all the contestants are led into a room full of junk food for a brainwashing lecture on how bad it is.  The trainers go from table to table talking about all the disgusting aspects of the food before ultimately dumping it on the floor.  What I would have love to see here is a freakout by the trainers, rather than a lecture.  Or even better, a freakout by the contestants.  Just go nuts and trash the place.  Don't just toss it on the floor, throw it up in the air and scream while you're doing it.  Show that food who's boss.

At this stage of the show, with 18 people, it's too hard to track them all by name.  So let's do the trainers.  Bob is my favorite, because you really do believe that he wants you to do well and that he'll be disappointed in you if you don't do your best.  What more can you ask?  It was great to see him standing right there with the team during weigh-in (apparently a new thing on the show?) and cheering them on.  A nice reminder that the trainers are part of the game, not really producers like, say, the host.

Kim doesn't do much for me.  She even said it in her own bio when she said "I'm not the new kid anymore" or something like that.  The problem is, yes, she is.  She's still got that "Come on, do it for me" sort of attitude that just wouldn't do it for me.

Jillian's style, I don't love.  I mean, I like it in a sort of "training montage at the end of a Rocky movie" way, but not as a motivational tactic for 400lb people.  In her bio she says that her motivational tactic is, and I quote, "Beatings beatings beatings beatings, and then more beatings."  Nah, not for me thanks.  I understand why *I* need to get in shape, but what I need to understand is why *you* have earned the right to beat on me.  As I said above, I really believe that Bob is personally invested in the contestants.  With somebody like Jillian I think she's mostly in it for herself.

Anyway, that's the first week, they end up kicking off Amber, the one who walked across the first finish line.  The captain of that team, the one who picked her, even acknowledges how pissed off he is that he could have selected someone that would try a little harder.

Good show, I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.

The guide to all things Subway, The Operations Manual, clearly states in chapter 10, page 10.32: Placing Cheese-
"When placing sliced cheese on bread, place the longest straight edge facing the hinge."

Conspiracy theory? I think not. But I like Drew's thinking.

Remember Sara Evans, the country singer who quit Dancing With The Stars because she was in the middle of a messy divorce?  Well, it's getting messier.  The ex-husband has filed a document in court asking her to testify, under oath that she was not romantically involved with a number of men in her life. 

In general this would be no big deal, just a typical piece of legal fluff equivalent to trolling  — ask her to say it under oath, therefore if she refuses, she must have done it, right?

However, it gets more juicy when you read the list of names:  Kenny Chesney (isn't he the one that got divorced from Renee Zellweger because he's gay?), Richard Marx (wait…the guy from the 1980's??), Tony Dovolani (her dancing instructor on the show), and what appears to be the entire band "3 Doors Down."

Tony?  I thought Maksim got all the babes.

Chris was a loving family man. He was respected by so many. I have read many pages on this so called "ROID RAGE". According to the specialists who went over his body, yes he was positive to steroids in his system, but the steroids found in his system DO NOT equate to"roid rage". We should not jump to conclusions until the facts are out.

On second is where how?

Perhaps Chris Benoit was not a monster after all.  It's already been shown that he was not on "roid rage."  But that doesn't go far toward explaining why he came home one day and killed his wife and child, and then himself.  Well there's a new report floating around, released by his dad and apparently confirmed independently, that Benoit had significant brain damage from the years of concussions he suffered, and that his brain at the time of the deaths resembled "an 85yr old Alzheimer's patient."

It's not an excuse.  It's not even necessarily a reason.  But for those of us that can only possibly accept "he was not in his right mind" as the only explanation, this lends a little more validity to that argument.

The case is the wwe is going down hill because of drugs and the death of this wrestlers the wwe is still making $$$$$ of the dead wrestlers and that is not ok because this wrestlers have family and bills like everybody else and the wwe still making $$$$$ of the wreslers. I hope Nancy Benoit family gets money from the wwe. I hope Chris Benoit two other kids get alot of money from the wwe because Chris Benoit is not coming back to suppot his kids. Rest in peace Chris Benoit and Nancy Benoit and Daniel Benoit.

You need to hang out with more black folks. Higher chance of at least a "Dwayne" there.

Someone else killed Chris Benoit and his Family, someone that did not like Chris Benoit and his family because the Benoit Family had it all money and fame. This case does not make sense because Chris Benoit was a nice dad and a nice husband and he loved his family vary much and I hope they Find the the people Responsible that killed this Family. Rest in peace Chris Benoit and Nancy Benoit and Daniel Benoit.
