Biggest Loser is rigged

After last night's episode, it is crystal clear that the biggest loser is rigged. Allow me to set the scene if you will. In previous episodes, Tracy (the moo cow who fainted on the beach) had taken every temptation (cupcakes and no trainers) to have control over the weigh-ins. The control she got really wasn't much in terms of who goes home and who stays. They were more controls to help her stay those two particular weeks. Anyway, she successfully used the powers granted to her to make every rancher hate her, especially big ol Shay, and Rebbecca.

So this week, if the rancher wanted to play, they could spin the wheel in hopes of getting the power to pick new teams, black and blue. They should really name the teams Black Angus and Blue Cheese. Anyway, several people spun the wheel and landed on tasty num nums, but Tracy managed to land on the prized spot on the first time!! No way! That is crazy! How on earth could that have happened?!? There is no chance one of the producers was under that wheel controlling it...

So Tracy picks the teams, and does a really good job of it. She puts all of the best players (except for Liz. Liz is a scrub) on her team and all the worst players on the other team. In the process she splits up several of the pairs. This infuriates everybody and makes Tracy even more of a villain. A W E S O M E

Tracy and the blue team, or course, dominate the challenge which really doesn't get them anything except a video from home (lam3 prize, not helping you win). But, they manage to lose the weigh-ins because Holier-than-Thou Dan and Turkey-Knee Shay manage to lose 27 lbs between them (start the sarcastic slow clap now). Then Shay stays on the scale and starts to pontificate about how she cant let others make decisions for herself and she is strong and blah blah blah. These weekly sermons by Shay are getting uber annoying and she is coming off as a complete dork. Ok, we get it, everybody has told you what to do in your life. They told you to eat multiple bags of Cheetos and chase it with a mushroom swiss stromboli. We know, we know.

So now, its clear, Blue Cheese team lost the weigh-in, Tracy is going home. But Wait!! Coach Mo decided that he would go home. He said that he would leave, and that he wanted to go. So if somebody WANTS to go, they have to go, right? WRONG, the other players on the blue cheese team should step up and say, "You know, Tracy has been a queen dick this whole season. Sorry, Mo, but Tracy.....get the fudge out!"

However, the producers didn't see it that way. The producers, in all likelihood told Mo to get the fudge out, and that if anybody voted for Tracy, they would be the next one to leave. Bodabing, Coach Mo is gone, and Tracy is staying. Next week, when we see Tracy walk back into the stable where all the ranchers are staying, I'm sure it will be funny as hell to see the Black Angus team react.

Biggest Loser = rigged

Let's get to some Power Rankings
1. Jillian - fiercest creature on the ranch
2. Bob - total badass with sweet tattoos so you know he's a total badass
3. Rudy - has a lot of weight to lose still and has been separated from the dead weight that is Dina
4. Allan - still somewhat athletic, too bad Jillian isn't his trainer
5. Dan - He needs a tummy tuck, pronto
6. Rebecca - "not just a pretty face", I believe its more like "not even a pretty face"
??? - all the rest have no shot in my eyes of winning this, so they are not ranked.


God bless the USA.

What a great day

Saturday was awesome! It started off with me sleeping in until 8!! During the week I wake up around 5:15-5:30 so an extra couple hours does so much for my restfulness. Then I sat around, drank a few a.m. beers while watching College Gameday. Then I went over to Laura's dad, Jim's house (actually, it's her parent's house) to watch the UGA/UTenn game. We ate some pizza topped with many different types of meat and plenty of grease and watched UTenn demolish the bulldags.

After that game there were several others we could watch, all of which turned out to be pretty lame. I kind of dozed off because my belly was full of food and drink. Then I let out a couple deep resonating belches and I woke right up.

Around 6, Laura came back from the outlets with her mom and we went out to get some supplies to plant some herbs that Tom and Christina gave us as a housewarming gift. Thank you so much, Tom and Christina!! Anyway, it was a nice little Saturday, we went to the home depot, but we didn't have enough time to make it to Bed Bath and Beyond.

When we got home we watched some of our DVR shows like South Park (Chipotlaway.....hilarious). Then I got down to the real business of the night, GT vs. FSU. After the teams traded touchdowns in the first quarter, the game was delayed for over an hour. This sucked, except for the fact that UF was playing LSU, so I watched that for a while. Finally the game came came back on and it was a TD-fest. It was like MTV spring break at a shady Cabo hotel, everybody was scoring. But I have to say, our offense was playing like total badasses.

I couldn't stay up for the whole game so I went to bed, and this morning I woke up for the second half which was super duper! Long story short (I guess it's too late) we won and FSU lost. Josh Nesbitt played like a warrior. Next week against VT is going to be a huge game! I just hope our defense plays better.

All in all, it was a great day....and as for Sunday? Well, the Falcons will be playing, so .... yeah, Sunday will be good.

Stuck in my head

I have a chronic disease where every night I go to bed with a song stuck in my head. And every morning when I wake up it's still there or has been replaced with another song. The songs that get stuck up there are usually pretty crappy, but if it's a good song, it will quickly turn to crappy in my mind. Here's a little rundown of the past couple weeks:

• Mylie Cyrus - Party in the USA (thanks, laura. this song is rancidly terrible)
• Black Eyed Peas - Tonight's gunna be a good night (not sure of the tittle, and I dont really care to know)
• Kelly Clarkson - My life would suck without you (my life sucks when this song is playin in my head)
• Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow (the Peas making another appearance on the list)
• Pearl Jam - The Fixer (a good song, but ESPN keeps playing it during their Ultimate Highlight)
• Rhianna - Disturbia (thanks again, laura)

I am not proud.

Gourmet dinner for one?

Tonight I ate Campbells chunky clam chowder (NFL approved) with
tobassco and a Coors light. Then I'm gunna go watch TBL. This is a
typical meal of Robert circa 2006. Oh those were the times. I used to
live off of Raman noodles, hot dogs, cheap beer, and Juniors hamburger
baskets. Tom and Richard can attest. Simpler times....simpler times.

Six Sigma

I'm starting Six Sigma Green Belt classes tonight so I can become a certified GE foot soldier in the war against defects. There I will learn how to wave my hands in a more authoritative fashion and hopefully, one day be taken seriously by my co-workers. Basic training is 5-9pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays for two months. Expect updates throughout the process. My first objective is figure out why it's called a green belt. Second mission will be to find an actual green belt and wear it everyday to class.

"The tenants of Six Sigma are:

• Teamwork
• Insight
• Brutality
• Male Enhancement
• Handshakefullness
• Play Hard"

Tracy

This is the crazy lady that has successfully pissed off every biggest loser rancher.

"Hooray, Tacos!!!!!"

TBL Update

Let's talk some Biggest Loser. Last night I finished watching one of the great episodes in TBL history. People were crying, scarfing, getting yelled at, and enemies were created. As I predicted, two people were eliminated and there was a temptation challenge. However, the temptation challenge wasn't as epic as we have seen in the past. This being only the third week, many of the ranchers could resist the cupcakes put before them. Whoever ate the most cupcakes would get the power to pick the individual on each team to weigh in for that team. The reward really isn't that good because you don't know who is going to lose more pounds. Anyway, the winner in this challenge was Tracy by a landslide.



Earlier in the episode Tracy decided for herself and Coach Mo that they would forgo the use of one of the badass trainers for a 2 lb advantage at the weigh in. This pissed Bob and Jillian off so bad. Then the trainers found out that Tracy went to Pound Town on cupcakes for the crappy reward we already discussed. This sent Jillian in to an epic roid-rage where she threatened to rip Tracy's face off with her bare hands (she could do it....i know she could). Its clear that Tracy is crazy and has no idea what's going on.

At the final weigh-ins Tracy took it upon herself to piss off every team by picking the person the team didnt want to weigh in. This was the final step in a series of gameplay and relationship building flaws. Now everybody, including the trainers, hate Tracy. Hopefully she will stay on the ranch for a while so everybody gets really angry like a overweight swarm of bees.
