[BlogEntry] Biggest Loser : Bad Week For Bob

I was hoping that after the Blue team eliminated captain Jerry last week, Bob would tear them a new one.  I guess that's not part of the game, though, as it's never mentioned again.  Oh well. 

This week opens with a temptation…for the trainers.  That's a neat idea, as the three trainers stand in front of a tray of cupcakes in a possible chance to win a bonus for their team during the next challenge.  It turns out to be nothing more than a motivational trick, however, as each team says, "My trainer wouldn't want me to eat it, so I wouldn't wish the same on her."  Bob is the funniest, saying that he remembers when he had a cupcake – "half of one."  And then he's scoping out the whole tray, picking out his favorite.  But at the end, nobody picks any cupcakes, we don't get to watch the trainers pig out.

The challenge is a simple race to the flag and back, with two catches.  First, the teams have to bid each other down in a dare to see who can run it the fastest.  And second, the trainer runs with the team.  That was pretty neat, especially watching Jillian carry the flag (which was double her size) by herself, leading the team back up the hill.  Long story short, the black team fails to make their time, the red team succeeds, and the blue team never even got to go because they played the betting in order to dare the red team into taking the challenge.    This does not sit well with Bob, who feels that his team chickened out of even attempting the race, something that he would have gotten to participate in.  Needless to say, Bob beats on them pretty ruthlessly. 

Blatant plug in the middle for Subway, supposedly because they have a healthy menu and it was an example of how you can eat in the real world and still eat healthy.  But more obviously, it was paid product placement.

Worst of all for Bob, the winning red team gets immunity at the weigh in, so it's either going to be black or blue.  And Jillian's team pulls down substantial, double-digit numbers.  Someone from blue is going home again.  The team then totally disappoints as they say "We can't decide who to send home, so we're going to deliberately make it a tie and let the house decide."  To which Bob says, deservedly, "Oh hell no, I forbid that."

So at the end of it all Patty goes home – she's the one who pigged out unnecessarily last week during the challenge and probably should have gone last week.  We leave on a cliffhanger, as Allison tells us that next week the campus is closed.  I assume that means that they are going to have to spend a week in the real world, getting themselves to the gym and eating on their own, which would be pretty cool, but no idea how they would film it.  These shows thrive on the interaction between the players.  We shall see.

[BlogEntry] Dancing With The Stars Week #2 (Oct 2, 2007) Results : Who Got Kicked Off

I have to admit, Dancing with the Stars is losing steam for me a little bit. I didn't even realize that it was on last night, we watched the Patriots game instead.  So we were happy enough with the recap.  We get it, the Cheetah girl and the race car driver are way out in front.  We actually tried watching Cavemen (blah) and Carpoolers (I liked, Kerry didn't) before Dancing, so that we could buffer it up and Tivo our way through it.

The encore dance goes to the race car driver, whose partner is Julianne, the champion.  I think that most of his points are coming from the crazy choreography she puts together.  She did that last season too, with Apolo.  Remember the whole dance around the chair?  And the blindfolded one?  She's good, I like her.

Queen Latifah is the guest star.  I wonder what it really says about your career when you basically put out an album of "standards"?  Instead of seeing the dancers we know this week, we see some champions.  They are good, sure, but who cares about them?  Part of the appeal of the show is in having your favorites, and wanting to see them.  When there's no one on stage you know, you reduce your audience down to just the people who watch for the ballroom, and that's not as many as you might think.

An actual funny bit with Jimmy Kimmel (I know, can you believe it?) when they go behind the scenes to look at how the votes are counted, and they discover that they're being counted by…well, The Count.  From Sesame Street.  They then completely kill the joke by having him counting votes for "Mel B" and "Scary Spice" independently, and when Jimmy says "You know those are the same person, right?"  the Count just says, "Are you serious?  Now I have to start over!" and they leave him picking up the phones again.  Haha?  I don't get it.

Albert the young model with the crotch action goes home this week.  I don't care about him one way or the other, had no idea who he was and I assume that fanbase did him in.  The other guy, Cameron, fills in the "hot guy" category apparently.  What bums me out is that his partner was Anna, the peppy little red head who only just came back this season.  I'd liked her in earlier seasons and was hoping to see more of her.  I have to see more of Cheryl Smith and Wayne Newton, but the one I like goes home.  Feh.
