One Hot Ride

We’re not sure if its possible to confirm such a claim, but this 1972 Vauxhall Victor is at least in the running to be the quickest street-legal car in the world. Zero to 60 in one second, a 7.8-second quarter-mile in 183 mph and 2200 ponies in the ranch are the stats backing up that statement. Also, there’s the matter of nitrous, twin turbos and plenty of stickers. That is naughty. [Thanks to Joshua for the tip.] – Mike Spinelli

That is one of the coolest cars and stories ever. O-to-60 in 1 second, you gotta be kidding me. 2200 horse power, crazy. The guy put it all together for around 100GBP and its got more power and speed than a Bugati Veyron, which has insane power and costs over $2-million. Not to mention, it’s street legal. Too cool.

Survivor Cook Islands Recap: Double Elimination

Tonight’s episode of Survivor Cook Islands started off with Adam and Christina getting into a bit of a fight, of sorts. Apparently Christina doesn’t like to be called annoying or bitched about by everyone without her knowing it. I wonder why.Over at Raro Playboy Foursome star Ozzy is fishing up a storm, catching a boat load, as usual. Jon is in his usual seat on the boat playing the fish holder boy. It also comes out that Jon is feeling threatened and sees Ozzy as the biggest threat in Raro. Duh!

Back at Aitu Cao Boi gets into it with everyone, again. This time it’s because he wants to bring the immunity idol to the reward challenge, even though it’s not needed. Apparently he has some kind of weird attachment to it and the spirit it represents and thinks it would be good to bring it every where they go. Jon confronts him and tells him no, cause it’ll be like rubbing it in the other teams face and Cao Boi ends up giving up.

Survivor Cook Islands Reward Challenge

Tonight’s reward challenge is a special one and comes with an interesting twist. The winning team will get to chow down on lamb shanks, bread and apple cider, but will also have to go to tribal council and vote one of their tribe members off the island. But, in another twist of good news, they wll get to chow down on their food while sitting in the jury section, listening in to the other tribes tribal council. Now, on to the reward challenge:

  • Each tribe must select 3 of its members to hold on to a post as hard as they can
  • The remaining members of each tribe then attack the person on the post of the opposite tribe in groups of two, trying to pull them off the post and drag them over the finish line

Becky and Jessica latch on to Jenny and manage to pull her off her post and across the finish line first. While Parvati and Rebecca have a heck of a time getting Candice off her post and over the line. She fights back hard and raro ends up losing a lot of time. Nate is the second to be pulled from his post and dragged across the finish line, while the other team finally manages to get Candice across the finish line. Quickly making up ground are Adam and Brad as they manage to pull ozzy off his post and across the line fairly quickly, but not quick enough, as Becky and Jessica get Christina across the line and win it all for Aitu!

Back at Aitu Cao Boi wakes up and tells Yul about some crazy dream he had. Cao Boi’s dream gave him an idea, an idea on how to really mix things up in Aitu. Cao Boi’s “voodoo” plan is to get the tribe to split the votes, 3 for jonathan, 3 for someone else, in the hopes of sucking the hidden immunity idol out of Jonathan. Only problem is, Jonathan didn’t find the idol, Yul did, so naturally, Yul loves the idea.

Back at Raro Nate catches another octopus and Christina is chatting it up with everyone, trying to earn herself a second chance. After working on nate a little, he heads over to chat with Sundra and they consider keeping Christina around. It also comes out that the girls in general don’t seem to like Jonathan and they all seem to get a kind of untrustworthy creepy vibe from him. That’s no surprise, just look at his eyes.

Aitu Tribal Council

Cao Boi decides to bring the immunity idol to tribal council and it starts an entire line of questions from Jeff Probst. The whole Q&A portion is pretty much taken up by talking about Cao Boi and Jonathan.

The remaining Aitu tribe members file over to the Jury section and sit down to enjoy their lamb, bread and apple cider as the Raro tribe members enter tribal council to vote off one of their tribe members.

Raro Tribal Council

And before the votes are cast, Jeff Probst reveals yet another twist. The winning members of Aitu get to pick one person from the Raro tribe to kidnap and have join their tribe until the end of the next reward challenge. Making the right choice protects the person from being eliminated and adds more strength to the Aitu tribe for the next reward challenge.

Revealed Votes

Adam votes for Christina
Brad votes for Jenny

Biggest Loser Recap: Amy Eliminated!

In an interesting turn that proved to be a challenge for the Biggest Loser competitors, the gym was completely closed for this weeks episode, though that didn’t keep bobby from jarring the window open and trying to crawl through. Too bad Bob and Kim came running down the road just then, catching him in the act and telling him, and everyone else, that this week’s episode of the Biggest Loser would be gym free. How interesting!

So, with the gym closed, the biggest loser blue team, led by trainer Bob, takes to the outdoors for their workout. Meanwhile, the red team, led by trainer Kim, takes to the indoors and works the stairs for all their good. Kim tells everyone on the team that she’s amazed how much of a difference she can now see in everyone. Everyone, blue and red team alike, are looking great, and Kim is now seeing it in her red team. If that wasn’t enough of a pick-me-up for the red team, Pam manages to get herself into a size LARGE shirt quite comfortably. She hasn’t been able to wear a large, or anything that doesn’t include the work Extra for a long time and she is super excited and, thankfully enough, the other members of her team are excited too.

While training the blue team outdoors, Bob notices that something seems to be holing Erik back and tries to give him a pep talk. Bob really focuses in on getting Erik’s mind cleared and getting him focused on working hard and dropping the pounds. It even looks like it may have worked.

Biggest Loser Club at Home Contestant

Linda, from Idaho, was one of the oldest people to try out for Biggest Loser at more than 50 years of age. Don’t be fooled though, Linda didn’t let her age get her down. She came to the ranch weighing 214lbs and now weighs 167lbs, for a total weight loss of 47lbs. That’s fantastic for anyone, especially someone more that 50 years old! The older you get, the harder it is to lose weight, but she still managed to kick some ass. Fantastic work Linda!

Celebrity Gossip Queen Perez Hilton Exposed… Literally

If you’re a celebrity blogger, a gossip blogger, or you read blogs related to either topic, you have most likely heard of the Queen of all Gossip: Perez Hilton. Perez Hilton is about as famous as one can get for being a blogger and has ties to Paris Hilton (obviously his namesake) and a number of celebrities. Perez has even been featured on Canada’s answer to MTV, Much Music, on numerous occasions.

PerezHilton.com, run by gossip blogger Mario Lavandeira. is one of those sites and guys that you either love, or utterly despise. I, personally, fall into the love category. I read PerezHilton everyday and get a kick out of everything that Mario manages to dig up. Some people say he’s brash, crude and to hard on celebrities he doesn’t like. Personally, I think it’s funny. Everyone has their friends and enemies, why would it be any different for a celebrity gossip blogger, I would think it to be more so, if anything.

Like I mentioned above, you either love him, or you hate him, and those that hate him, really hate him. Some people, like the folks at FadedYouth, even spend time digging things up on him, like they did earlier this year. They managed to dig up Mario’s profile on ManHunt.net and, even though I like PerezHilton, I have to admit, it was good for a laugh.

Like any good celebrity gossip blogger, Mario is of course gay, so having a profile on ManHunt.net isn’t anything of a surprise, but the pictures on the profile, compared to current pictures, are pretty good and his write up is good for a laugh too.

Check out PerezHilton.com blogger Mario Lavandeira’s profile on ManHunter.net, compliments of FadedYouth.
