I like John James

admin — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 15:12:21 +0000

On opening night I complained that there was no totty for the girls this year, as their rarely is. But John James is growing on me, he’s too young for me at 24 but that doesn’t mean he’s not worth a look

In addition he seems like an alright kinda guy and I love that he reminds me of my beloved Big Brother Australia that I still miss.

It’s the little things like the fact he calls Big Brother ‘Him/He’ rather than ‘Them/They’ because in Big Brother Australia they do all see the big guy as a man, rather than just a random member of the production staff.

He’s definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer but unlike previous thicko BB pretty boys he seems to have a good heart, show a genuine interest in others and isn’t at all shallow.

So far, he’s my favourite

Biggest Loser Australia is better…

…now that we are back to normal and the team that should not be named are gone. We’re back to normal editing and normal pace and it’s more like the show I know and love.

It’s still less than perfect though as we still missed out on two weeks worth of the show. They have been there for a month now, a month and we’ve only seen 5 episodes.

I usually love and adore certain contestants by now, I usually loathe some also – at this stage I still don’t even know most of their names, I don’t know who’s on which training team even.

We can never get those two weeks back

Roll on series 5

Speaking of dieting and the like – how about 4 months away with two of the best trainers in the world instead of fast weight loss pills – you can’t really get any better than that.

Yup that’s right, my favourite TV show ever is coming back in less than two weeks time. The Biggest Loser Australia season five kicks off on Janurary 31st and I can not wait.

I will miss Ajay though.

Ali Vincent is not the first ever female biggest loser

admin — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 18:27:30 +0000

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.

Green with envy!

I just found out through facebook that one of my old friends is off travelling for six months around Australia – colour me jealous – you all know by now I love Australia and it is my dream to visit even for a few days, nevermind six months. They are going without a plan though, which I couldn’t do – they are just going to get there, find somewhere to stay for the night and then look for the best Car Rental Prices and start driving.

She’s a braver woman than I, that is for sure. If it were me I would already have the route planned, every place we were going to stay and all the best prices on car rentals!

Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge

Someone just asked me to look on the Accor Hotels website and pick my dream vacation – I then went into a big fantasy in mt head where I chose my favourite, they waved a magic wand and made my dream come true, but actually they were just curious because they are planning a vacation.

Sigh, my dreams are dashed.

Still, it was nice to take a look at what they have to offer and dream away. I have mentioned before that I am desperate to get away somewhere exotic on vacation but money is too tight for this summer, so this is not the first time I have made a ‘dummy’ dream vacation plan

An Accor Hotels City Super Sale is currently running where you can get savings of up to 60% for stays between July and September. I would love to go to Australia, it has always been my dream and some of the prices they have really are killer. I would happily go to any city if I could, but ideally I would love to go to Sydney and do all the typical touristy stuff like climbing the Sydney harbour bridge like they seem to do in every season of The Biggest Loser Australia

Need Skip Bins?

We just started recycling here where I live, how behind the times is that? Most other people around the world have been at it for years but our council only just got around to it, useless.

You can learn all about waste management services australia at Veoliaes.com.au as well as purchase any bins you need, in all sizes, shapes and for all purposes, they have every thing for your skip bins Melbourne needs.

Biggest Cheaters?

Watching the UK version of the biggest loser makes me wonder if all those guys from the USA and Australian versions are throwing pure ephedrine and the like down their necks, because their weight loss is much higher than in the UK version. Really I don’t think that’s it, the obvious explanation seems to be that in the UK version a week is actually a week, in the USA and Australian versions it is well known to be any where from 10 days to 3 weeks!

Nerd Alert, Nerd Alert

admin — Fri, 01 May 2009 14:55:33 +0000

I feel like such a nerd, but I couldn’t help myself — I added a bunch of this years Biggest Loser Australia contestants on Facebook, I never usually add celebrities and certainly not reality tv ‘stars’, but I was missing them and…and…and…meh.

I have Meaghan and Julie, Ben and Sean, Andrew (or is it Nathan? I never did learn which was which), Amanda, Jodi and Jeda, Mel…and I have pending requests for the others. Though my favourites don’t seem to be on there, no Teresa, Sharif, Bob or Tiffany!

Lots of them have pictures up from the finale or behind the scenes or things they have been upto since Monday — it’s a lot of fun looking through them and really highlights that they are all friends despite any drama or animosity during the show.

I have seen some photos that I wasn’t expecting though, I have to remember not to judge — out in the real world these people don’t have to never drink or eat bad foods and maybe those that are are burning the calories off first or just having one naughty day.

But the last thing you expect to see 4 days after leaving the house are pictures of them with fags in hand, pints of beer and even a kebab in one case!

I hope they all keep the weight off.

Go Julie

Now that Julie from The Biggest Loser Australia is one hot momma she doesn’t need to worry about her husband leaving her, because if he does she will have no trouble pulling now — she could become one of those older women who like to date hot younger men, called cougars I believe.

She really was looking smokin’ at the finale
