It was a double-elimination week this week on The Biggest Loser. And given some of the big numbers people were putting up, it looks like the contestants were doing some double-eliminating of their own –laxative style– if you know what I mean.
Also:
- It being a double-elimination week, the trainers were plotting ways to keep Shay in the game because she “needs to be here.” (I’m looking forward to them getting the news she got booted next week.) I was kind of hoping they would go out of their way to sabotage some of the other players. I was expecting some bizzarro-world versions of their typical product placement to screw with the others, i.e., “You know what’s a great substitute for Extra Sugar-Free Gum? Fudge.”
- Speaking of product placement. This week Bob told them all about how great and nutritious Lara Bars. But if they’re so great, why did he wait until week 9 to mention them?
- If I was ever going to go on this show I would drink a gallon of uranium before the first weigh in. A gallon of liquid uranium weighs around 144 pounds. Then you pee it out a little later and just like that you’ve lost almost 150 pounds in your first week on the ranch. And as far as I know, science has never said you shouldn’t consume uranium. Wait… let me wiki that… okay — check that — apparently it will kill you. Never mind.
