It’s official, NBC has decided to trim the fat (pun intended) and has dropped Caroline Rhea as host of the Biggest Loser 4. NBC has dropped Biggest Loser seasons 1, 2 and 3 host Caroline Rhea is favor of a new, shinier, sportier model, complete with new host scent, Alison Sweeney.

NBC gave the usual line, saying that she is leaving to “pursue other interests”, which in the TV world translates to, “we fired her ass.” While the executive producer of the show, Ben Silverman, took a bit more of a direct and honest approach and said Alison Sweeney “will bring not only a great fresh face but (also) a huge, loyal fan base” to the show. Apparently people still watch soap opera’s and actually give a damn about the “actors”? That’s news to me.

I’m personally a fan of Caroline Rhea as the host of the Biggest Loser, that’s not saying I’m a fan of hers in any other context, since I’m not, but I think she was a good fit for the show. However, after the debacle that was the Biggest Loser 3 season finale, I can understand why NBC decided it was time for her to “pursue other interests.”

Alison Sweeney, the new host of the Biggest Loser 4, comes to us straight from the gutter of the TV world, also known as soap operas. Not only does she come from the single worst genre in the history of TV, she comes from the absolute worst soap opera of all time, Days of our Lives. Though she apparently knows exactly what it’s like to be fat, since she wrote a book about her experiences as a big girl after ballooning up to a massive size 12! Yeah, that’s right, a size 12… I got news for you folks, only in TV land is size 12 considered massive. One of Caroline Rhea’s butt cheeks is bigger than that for Christs sake.

The Biggest Loser has always been one of my favorite reality TV shows and it is one of the few that is truley inspirational and motivational for people, so I really hope they don’t screw things up by letting some soap opera star host it. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Production for the Biggest Loser 4 is set to begin sometime this spring.

Don’t forget, tonight is Episode 12 and the long awaited season finale of the Biggest Loser 3!

The show started off with a whopping 50 contestants, one representing each state of the U.S., and was quickly widdled down to the core group of 14. Then NBC surprised everyone by waiting until we were down to the final four to add another 2 home contestants back into the game! Both new contestants were in fantastic shape and had dropped significant amounts of weight, which maybe them even bigger threats, and naturally the biggest targets on the ranch. Now that the two home contestants have been eliminated, we are down to our final four! Though there can only be on Biggest Loser 3 Winner!

Do not miss the LIVE airing of tonight’s 2-hour season finale, it’s sure to be a good one!

the Biggest Loser 3: Episode 11

December 6th, 2006 – Tonight’s episode of the Biggest Loser 3 was a 2-hour special to lead up to next weeks finale, only it wasn’t a usual 2-hour special. The entire first hour of the show was actually dedicated to the high schools of North America, where obesity in young people is quickly becoming a major problem.

The blue team trainer Bob Harper, red team trainer Kim Lyons and the Biggest Loser 2 winner and Co-Founder of the Biggest Loser Club Matt Hoover, went to two High Schools and select 6 overweight teens from each school to join a mini-biggest loser competitions. The results were very surprising for only three weeks of work, and all of the kids stayed focused and dedicated enough to shed as much as 25lbs a piece.

I have to give it to the guys at CBS’ for this idea, it was a really good one and draws attention to the increase in obeisity rates at a young age, as well as the effects corporate and fast-food sponsorships have on high school caffeteria’s and the food they offer. But that’s for another rant, so let’s get on to what everyone wants, the episode 11 recap!

the Biggest Loser 3: Episode 10

But let’s not get to far ahead of ourselves now, we still have tonight’s episode 10 to contend with. Don’t get me wrong, I’m chomping at the bit to find out who’ll be the Biggest Loser 3 winner, but I enjoy writing these recaps to much to toss them aside until the finale. So, without further adieu, I present to you, the meat and potatoes!

So, much to my surprise and disappointment, there will be no airing of the Biggest Loser tonight. Instead, the fools at NBC have decided to air some crappy Madonna tour video. I, personally, cannot stand Madonna and have never been a fan, so the fact that they bumped one of my favorite shows a week to air this piece of crap is rather annoying.

In other good and bad news, there are a mere 2 episodes of the Biggest Loser left! We are drawing nearer and nearer to the season finale and I can’t wait! I obviously want it to come so I can know who wins, but at the same time, I know I’m going to miss not having my weekly Wednesday night reality TV fix. I may just have to start watching America’s Next Top Model. Hopefully something else worth watching will make into the Wednesday night line-up.

Stay tuned! I’ll have the Biggest Loser episode 10 recap next Wednesday, November 29th. In the mean time, brush up on your other favorite reality TV shows. There’s lots of gossip and goodies to go through, especially when it comes to Survivor Cook Islands.
