The Biggest Loser - April 8th

Okay, so last night was the next to final episode of The Biggest Loser, and guess what, they did something new again! They weighed the final four, and just when the top two thought it was over and everything was going exactly as they wanted, wrench! No, they don't get to vote to eliminate, Amreica does....yep, we get to vote.

So here's the link to vote.....http://www.nbc.com/The_Biggest_Loser_5/vote/register.shtml You can vote as many times as you like, as far as I can tell from the FAQ pages, and voting opened at 10pm ET on April 8th and runs through 10pm ET on April 10th. So VOTE!

Now, let me talk about who you can vote for....


Roger:

Okay, so this guy is the biggest teddy-bear of a guy I have ever seen, and I have loved him since day one!

He lost 15 pounds this week, which at this point in the competition is almost unheard of. The 15 pounds was his personal goal for this week, because by losing 15 pounds, that put his total weight loss while on campus at 144 pounds, which is one pound more than anyone else in Biggest Loser history! He has the record, at least until next season!

15 pounds, when you lose that much, there is no way you should be below the yellow line, but he is. So vote for Roger. I really think he deserves to go to the final and to win it all. Also, he actually can lose a little more weight and still be within the healthy range for himself.



Mark:

Okay, so Mark get's kicked off and then gets back on campus and manages to wreck his numbers and his brothers while he is on campus enough to get his brother kicked off and then when we only has Roger to work out with, he manages to step it up and lose 12 pounds, but it still puts him below the yellow line.

Okay...so you can vote for Mark if you really want, but I don't see it. Mark is pretty much at his healthy weight range, and I can't see him losing anymore weight. In fact I was a little shocked that he lost this much this week. I don't think he has any weight loss left in him.
Besides that, I just don't care for the guy, and then there are the girls. They were so sure they had thisin the bag, they were pretty cocky in the interviews, that they were sending Roger home, Mark was a friend and they could beat Mark in the end, so they were excited, only to have the wrench thrown in, and now they might not win.

Now, a little on the girls.
Ali has lost more weight than any woman on Biggest Loser, at a total of 99 pounds, but I think she is maxed out, she actually looks a little too thin right now, so I am thinking she has nothing left to lose for the finale.

Kelly, well, she has lost 93 pounds, and she probably has more to lose still than Ali, but I am think not more than maybe 10 pounds.

For Ali and Kelly to have a chance to win this, they have to go up against Mark, who has little to nothing left to lose either. If they go up again Roger, who can still lose another 20 pounds or more, they lose. Personally, I know everyone thinks it's time for a woman to win Biggest Loser, but I would rather see Roger win.

In a perfect world....Roger would win the finale, and Trent (his original partner) would win the at home Biggest Loser part. That would just be perfect for me. They were wonderful, stand-up men and they never played dirty and they were just honest, good old boys and I loved them both.

So now, I've made my plea for Roger....I'm headed back to the NBC site to vote some more, how about joining me? What do you think?

Biggest Loser - Makeover Show

So this week was the big makeover show on Biggest Loser, and who would be going home. Well, you know, I think I am going to focus more on the makeovers and let you see what I think. I do need to mention that at the beginning of the show, Maggie is voted off and goes home, so no makeover for Maggie. Sorry.

Ali, wow! You know, what more can I say about her. She was voted off, and then came back as the biggest loser at home so far, and you know what, she has Brittany, Kelli and even Maggie beat! She looks so much better than all of them and this dress really shows off how far she has come!
The girl has lost 79 pounds so far and I think she is doing great. She is probably pretty close to her goal weight and her ideal weight at this point, so I don't see her dropping a whole lot more, but way to go this far.



Roger is just a big teddy bear of a guy, and I just love him! Look at him now! Yeah, he is still a big guy, but he has lost so much and he continues to do it and he continues to encourage the younger guys, Jay and Dan, all the time. I love him. I think he looks great and that he has done a great job.
He has lost 121 pounds! That is a small child! I am telling you, this is the guy to watch at the finale! He can still lose a good deal more, so I don't think he is anywhere near his goal or ideal weight, so he could knock them all off the block when he comes in on the finale.



Brittany, well if you didn't know, she left at the end of the night, and I have to say that it was defintely her time to go. This dress looks good on her, although I am not sure what they did with her chest, but it makes them (her boobs) look fake. Must have been some kind of tape to keep them from popping out as she walked the runway.

She has lost a total of 51 pounds and I think she is pretty much at the bottom. I am not sure that she can nor should she loss too much more than this, maybe another 10 pounds, but beyond that I think she is at goal or ideal weight now.


Kelly, you know, I really hope this makeover helped Kelly to grow some self-esteem, because you know I am tired of watching her cry and wimper all the time. She is looking good here, but at the same time you can tell that she still has a bit to go.

Kelly has lost 72 pounds, and I think that she could probable lose another 20-40 before she hits her goal or ideal weight. She is the only girl that I think still has any amount of weight to actually lose anymore. So, if she can stop the whimpering then she can stay for awhile.



Okay, Dan, finally a hair cut! Yeah! He was needing that so bad! And he looks better, still a little goofy, but doing good! He is just such a youngin that it's scary.

Dan has lost a total of 111 pounds so far, and that is incredible. I think he might be able to take a little more off, not as much as Roger, but I still think he has a ways to go to be at goal or ideal weight.


Okay Mark, you're done. You look good, although they really should have shaved you, that scruffy thing looks awlful! I think he is really at goal or ideal weight.

Mark has lost 100 pounds and I think that is about all he is going to lose. You know, he might try to go lower to win, but I think he is at a good healty weight and he needs to go home. Of course I also think he needs to go home because he is effecting his brother and not in a good way. He has too much control over younger brother Jay, point in fact that Jay lost only three pounds working out with big brother this week.


Now, Jay. I love this little guy. He is so sweet and it seems he has lived under his big brothers shadow for far too long. He needs Mark to go so he can grow and become his own man. He does better weight wise, losing more when mark is not there than when he is.
Jay has lost 87 pounds so far, and I think he probably has another 30-40 pounds to go to hit his goal or ideal weight, and I would really like to see Jay stay around, espically with Roger, when mark was gone and Jay and Roger worked out, Jay did so much better. I think he needs another influence in his life right now.

So now you know what I think, how I think the makeovers went and how much I think they all still have left to lose. You know, I like this show and have from the beginning. I think it is good, but sometimes I think people go too far and try to lose under their ideal body weights just to win the money, and that is not good, which is why I said goal or ideal weights. Sometimes a person has a certain weight in mind, but in all reality that weight is too low for their bodies, and they may win the money but they can't maintain that weight and end up putting some of it back on after it is all said and done. I think there needs to be a healthy ideal weight set for the players, and they aren't allowed to go below that weight to win.

Project Runway Season 4 Finale

So last night was the finale of Season Four on Project Runway. Did you watch? Or are you just waiting for me to tell you what I thought?

First off, you should know that I was really excited to see the collections, I liked what I saw of Rami's collection when Tim visited and I wanted to see where Jillian went, then I wanted to see Christian for the pure laughter of the whole thing. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have a surprise additional item like last season and the season before, when they had to create another item or the collection.

Now, if I was ranking the collections, it would have been 1) Rami, 2) Jillian and 3) Christian. Why? Well, let me tell you....

Rami: I just love his clothes. I loved the whole line, they fit and look good on a woman's body. Now, I did question the long black dress that he showed on the walk-off, the circles over the hips, but when I saw it the second time around I thought, she actually looks like she has hips in that dress. So I can see where it would work. There wasn't a dress I didn't like. Although I have to say that I am disappointed that he cut some items based on Tim's opinions. That Yellow coat and short dress he showed Tim were gone, I think if he had left them he might have been able to win. And where does Michael kors get off on saying that he doesn't like Rami's color choices? All he ever wears is black. I like color and I love that turquoise color that he used. Too bad, I think he was the best!!!

Jillian: Ok, this was probably the second best collection on the runway. I loved the sweaters, the skirts and the jackets weren't bad. There were only three items I think she should have axed, the short gold lame dress, that was just awlful, then the short black dress with the sheer overskirt layer, it was ok, but it just, I don;t know, it didn't work for me. The last one, that black and navy blue corset thing with the plazzo pants, ugh! Plazzo pants are the worst things in the world, either make a real pair of pants or make a skirt, I just hated that whole think, and the pleating on the pants? What was she thinking.

Christian: Are we sure this was Christian's line or was this Chris's costume line? I am sorry, but I felt the whole line was costume pieces, and they go and kick Chris off telling him he is too costume?!?!? What are we doing here? There was nothing I liked about Christian's line, I guess I could say that at least he lost the bird pants, but then he turned them into that end dress, which I hated! I thought no one in their right mind would wear that, and then Victoria Beckham siad she would wear it, and I thought right, no one in their right mind!! I am sorry, but Victoria Beckham is the LAST person I would look to for fashion advice!!

I didn't like Christian from the get-go. I thought he was a spoiled brat that needed a spanking at times and other times he needed his mouth washed out with soap.....then last night when he told his models notto eat before the show! I wanted to smack that silly little smile off his face! He is the reason we have so many eating disorders in fashion! Attitudes like his, and then they rewarded him for it! UGH! This is just so wrong!!!

On to other things.... did catch a glimsp of Jack with Dale (Top Chef runner-up (he should have won!!)), which does a heart good, and a number of former runway vets. You know, I think if you wanted to reward the kid...Daniel from season 2 would have been a much better choice than Christian, at least he had good designs and was modest and humble enough about his talent, unlike the cocky and spoiled Christian.
I'm disappointed, and mad and I said last night I would not watch another season after this, but by the time Top Chef is over, I will probably be back to watching the next season of Project Runway.
