the Biggest Loser 3 Recap: Episode 11 – The Fantastic Four

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 Amazing Race 10: Cho Brothers in the Kharma Business

As much as I love Erwin and Godwin, better know as the Cho Brother’s from the Amazing Race 10, their newest business venture doesn’t strike me as one that will succeed. The idea is good, their heart are in the right place (as usual), but it doesn’t sound or look like it can turn into a successful business.

The Amazing Race 10’s Erwin and Godwin Cho have ventured into the Kharma business with their newest idea, ALittleKharma.com. The idea behind the business is to offer and sell products made by independent artists, while using part of the money made to fund random acts of kindness. Though the products currently for sale on the site are, to put it mildly, rather lacking, they already have a few ideas for their first random acts of kindness:

Pay bridge/road tolls for 100 people behind you.
Hand out $10 rolls of quarters to people at a laundrymat.
Buy groceries for 10 people in your supermarket line.
Distribute free umbrellas to people on a rainy day.

Best of luck to the Cho Brothers on their business venture. As much as the idea is good and the people are good, I just don’t see it working out, but I’m glad they believe enough in kharma and good will to support independent artists, all the while trying to brighten some peoples days.

the Amazing Race 10 Recap: Episode 12 – Spanish Giants and Camel Kabobs

the Amazing Race 10 – Episode 12

December 3rd, 2006 – Welcome to Morocco! In episode 11 we left off with the teams camped out in a traditional nomadic Berber hut in the desert of Morocco, where Dustin and Kandice came in last place, but were saved from elimination. Though they may have been saved by the bell in episode 11, things in this episode are going to be a lot harder for the blonde’s, as they will have to finish the leg in first place or suffer a potentially race ending 30 minute penalty.

Fingers crossed. It may finally be time for the blonde’s to be sent home!

Survivor Cook Islands Eliminated Contestant Nate Talks

Those of us that are die-hard Survivor Cook Islands fans remember just a short while ago how, shortly before Brad was eliminated, Nate made an inadvertent comment, calling his openly gay tribe mate Brad a “Nancy Boy.”

To be quite honest, I was very surprised that this entire situation didn’t explode and get completely blown out of proportion. Since Brad is indeed gay, it would give him the right to get upset and offended over being called a “Nancy boy,” but at first he actually let it go. I believe he realized that it was something said in the heat of the moment, and was not meant as a derogatory slur, but just a general insult (which everyone knows is just fine :P). That was, of course, up until I read a Survivor Cook Islands post at TVGasm.com that said “…Brad’s done a few interviews saying he’s still upset.” Which I personally find hard to believe, unless he had a change of heart strictly in the hopes of extending his 15-mins of fame. Either way, Nate set everything clear in an interview with TVGuide:

FROM TV Guide via TVGasm.com: “At the end of the day, considering Brad’s actions toward not swimming and me calling him out, no, I don’t regret that,” Nate tells TV Guide. “The fact that I called him a nancy boy and it offended him — I want to take that back, because I’d never want to hurt him. He’s a dear friend, and I like the guy a lot. I think people made a big deal out of it because of his sexual preference. I’m not a homophobe. I was an ally of his when I knew he was gay. We were cool. If Adam had done the same thing, I’d have called Adam a nancy boy. If I offended homosexuals or Brad by saying that — if they think I was directing it toward his sexual preference — then I am going to apologize, because that is not my style. I would have called him something else, a ‘f–k-off’ or something else that didn’t [hint at] his sexual preference. I texted him [after my elimination] and said ‘I’m sorry,’ and he said it was cool. But I’ve heard comments that he wouldn’t want to hang out with me, and that is too bad because I thought we were close friends.”

Survivor Cook Islands Recap: Episode 11 – Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Survivor Cook Islands – Episode 11

November 30th, 2006 – The human target, otherwise known as Jonathan, got himself into some pretty hot water in last weeks episode of Survivor Cook Islands. It was his swing vote that resulted in Nate being voted off the island and, at the same time, Raro losing the odds. Naturally, neither team feels they can trust Jonathan anymore, and quite frankly, neither team seems to like him what so ever and that fact sure shines through in tonight’s episode.

the Amazing Race 10: Tyler in Underwear

amazing race 10 tyler in underwear

Well, well, well, if it isn’t everyone’s favorite Amazing Race 10 recovering drug addict/model Tyler (which of the two he’s recovering from is up to you). It’s amazing how reality TV stars seem to pop up in the weirdest places. First we had Ozzy from Survivor Cook Islands bearing all in some hardcore action for Playboy’s reality TV series “Foursome”, then J.P. and Brad of Survivor Cook Islands hooked up, and now we have Tyler confined in a pair of tighty whiteys, gracing a package of Hanes underwear. What’s next?

I knew both Tyler and James were recovering drug addicts and models, but I had just assumed they were high fashion models. Why, I don’t know, but I guess that’s the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word models. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tyler or James decked out in an Armani suit or modeling watches for GQ, but Hanes? Come on!

Besides, I would have pegged Tyler as more of a boxers man, myself.
