It’s always got on my nerves that people in the show say it in way that it seems like they are the first – before Ali won it was always:
“I want to be the first ever female biggest loser!”
After she won it was always:
“It’s great that a woman has finally won it!”
The Australian and US shows are both as guilty of it but although it annoyed me it was pretty easy to brush off safe in the knowledge they probably meant “…in the USA/Australian version” but just didn’t feel it necessary to add that part every time.
So colour me shocked and super annoyed when during the Biggest Loser Where Are They Now special that I only just got around to watching, Ali Vincent says:
“I am the first female biggest loser in the world. Period”
*Splutter Cough Die*
What? does she actually think that? Like really? Why has no one told her that she was beaten to it by the UKs Jodie Pregner way back in 2006? Why would she just assume it to be true – surely if you are going to go around saying something like that you’d at least check it’s accurate first.
The mind boggles and I hope someone has at least now set her straight.

I was at the store earlier and got a phone call from my dad asking me to pick him up some hex caps and hex cap screws for a project he’s working on out in his shed (his favourite place in the world!). I said sure thing and hung up and then realised I don’t have a blue clue what exactly hex caps are – I had to call him back and ask him what department they were likely to be in!
They are basically very strong fasteners for us in construction!
I am taking them round to him this evening and I will be asking him what on earth he needs them for, I can’t imagine what he’s building in that little shed of his that means he require super strength ones!
