The Biggest Loser



Ok, so I really like to watch this show, and have been a fan for a couple of years! I guess I just find it inspiring - all that hard work for results that are NOT instantaneous, good lessons to learn there! And despite the obvious exploitation of people's pain and suffering all for the sake of good ratings and a great show, I remind myself that they willingly exploit themselves in order to improve their lives.

So having said all that....

Interestingly enough, 4 degrees of separation exist between me and two of the contestants! (Everybody knows somebody who knows somebody, right?!) The gray team, Sam and Koli, happen to be from my neck of the woods! They went to high school in Rohnert Park, CA (the next town south of us here in Santa Rosa) and one of them is a football coach in Windsor, the next town north. (Think Archbold, then Pettisville, then Wauseon, for all you Ohio-ans!!) A friend of mine at work is a friend of their cousin, and they all attended the same high shcool. Always a small world!

They've been doing alot of filming in Rohnert Park, but no Bob and Jillian sitings so far that I've heard of! Will be fun to see how far they get in the competition, and yes, I will probably continue to eat Ben and Jerry's while watching the show.
