Biggest Loser Masterclass

I am not sure how much I like the new Masterclass episode on The Biggest Loser Australia, I really like the idea behind it because the show doesn’t usually offer such information – but honestly I prefer the drama, I’d rather see the walk than 20 minutes of Shannan and Michelle showing us how to strengthen our core.

I suppose it doesn’t help that most of the information so far is pretty basic – do this stretch, take this vitamin, don’t eat too much oil etc.

Still love the show though :)

 

What was THAT?

So my favourite TV show is back, but they absolutely killed it – and I don’t mean that in a good way, I mean they killed it.

Long story short a week or so before it was set to begin airing they found out one of the contestants had been arrested on child porn related charges and announced they were going to be doing a drastic reedit of the show to make it appear as though they were never there.

I was intrigued as to how they were going to do it, were they going to blur them out? Or try use close up shots so they weren’t in them?

Nope, as I found out when I tuned it they decided to simply skip the first two weeks of the show – are they freaking serious?

We are now back to normal but I don’t even know the names yet, I don’t know what training teams they are on – we’ve seen them do about 2 workouts and most of them have already lost 20 pounds.

It sucks, I feel as though I have been robbed.

 

Faster, Faster, Make it go faster!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ultra60smallI was just reading about the charter ultra fast 60 service that is currently being rolled out across America – green with envy doesn’t even come close to explaining how I feel about it.

My fiance already gets his Internet at twice the speed I do even though we are on the same service and that drives me crazy, so the idea that others are getting it probably 100 times faster makes me almost lose the plot.

As you know by now I watch a lot of TV shows online, if it wasn’t for torrents and streaming sites I wouldn’t get to watch three of my favourite TV shows – Survivor, The Amazing Race and The Biggest Loser Australia. The thing is my upload speed especially is so shoddy that I can’t do two things at once, if I am uploading anything such as videos to youtube or seeding torrents I can’t stream at all – So I can’t just decide I want to stream something and do it there and then, I have to wait until I know my computer won’t be busy doing other things!

My Internet life would be a lot faster with 60mb speeds, therefore buying me extra ‘real life’ time – which I would then probably use to watch more TV hehe.

I need airbrush products!

Remember I told you that since The Biggest Loser Australia finished I was having withdrawal symptoms, so I added a bunch of them on Facebook like a big silly nerd? Well I now have, erm, pretty much all of them on there from this season and past ones and here’s an interesting fact — those guys seem to love getting Tattoos!

I don’t know if it’s an Australian thing, a feeling more confident because they lost weight thing or it’s just this group of people but they all seem obsessed with showing off their existing tattoos and getting news ones done.

large-angel-back-tattooBoth Andrew and Teresa have had ones done over the past week, Andrew got his wife/girlfriends name on his arm and Teresa had a huge one that takes up her entire back!

I might have to become a tattoo artist and advertise myself as ‘Tattoo Artist to the Reality TV Stars’ so I can meet all these people, heh.

If I do decide to go there I can pick up all the Airbrush Products I would need from EuropeanBodyArt.com, they sell every thing I would need to get started and offer really great prices, they are one of the biggest suppliers in the USA :)

 

The Biggest Loser Australia statistics

Look at this, it shows the starting weight, weight loss and percent loss of all of the contestants who were on the show this year:

It really highlights the amazing effort of Bob doesn’t it, and I went into the finale thinking that Sharif and Sammy were in with a chance, hah. I think it’s great that the top four overall biggest losers actually placed 1 – 4, Stuart and Ben did amazingly well considering the time they spent in the house….and wow look how low down the list ‘threats’ Nathan and Andrew ended up, behind grandma Julie and ‘weak’ Cameron, teehee. I think it’s safe to say that Sean and Ben proved themselves as the alpha males in the end (that said, Nathan and Andrew do look amazing — very muscled!).

I wish there was more, I am having withdrawals!

 

Something Different, Hurrah.

dancewearI love it when on The Biggest Loser, both the USA and Australian versions, they show work outs that are something a little different to the norm. They had a dance workout on The Biggest Loser Australia this series and it made me want to rush out and buy dancewear and get started myself, last season they had a boxing class and that had the same effect on me. I am sure the contestants appreciate it also, the probably spend a few hours per day on the same piece of gym equipment — any thing that breaks up the monotony must be good for their souls!

 

Ajay you naughty girl!

ep29_050309_walkallRemember that killer walk that Ajay bigged up so much a few episodes ago?

‘Biggest walk ever’
‘Will change the game forever’
‘You will want to be in control of this one’
‘Has to be seen to be belived’

Well the Blue boys took Ajay’s word for it and consumed almost 5000 calories in order to ensure they had the power.

Off they trot to the walk, out pop the four couples eliminated so far. Ajay tells us two will have the chance to return and the Blue boys will decide which two it will be — how though? They get to decide right, as in make a choice? they must do, right?

Well no, they ‘decide’ by picking two names out of a hat (Actually, water filled and plastic flower filled urns…but it’s the same principle).

What?!

That’s not a decision, that’s no power…that’s a random choice that any one could have made.

Ajay, you big fat fibber!

SHENANIGANS!

ps. Why does Ajay always stand on a box? most people wouldn’t notice she’s a shorty without it, the box just highlights it.

 

DayMix

biggestloserI have been thinking about posting television news here on 1netez.net, as well as just my opinions — so I was searching around to find a good source and came across DayMix, it’s a search engine that gives you not only link results but also videos, images, blogs and every thing else.

At the top there’s a bar that contains links to the current most searched terms which is pretty neat, up there at the moment are Fundraising ideas, The Atkins Diet and Slumdog Millionaire to name but a few!

I just searched for The Biggest Loser Australia and my search experience was good, my other reality site my this one feature heavily in the results, which makes me happy — I like that all the results are on one page, you can get the same results on google but you have to search seperately if you want vidoes…images…blog posts etc.

You can even grab a widget to put onto your blog like the one below that updates dynamically. It’ll be interesting to see how long this blog post takes to appear in the results :)

 

The Biggest Loser meets The Amazing Race

Dear TBL Producers,

The Biggest LoserThank you so much for coming up with the last two episodes of The Biggest Loser Australia — making the overweight and unfit contestants take part in a 2.5k race across the country to get to their new home, with pit falls, decisions to make and challenges la The Amazing Race was an inspired idea.

Have some extra coffee and doughnuts today, you earned em.

Thank you,
Me
