Posts Tagged ‘season 2’

First up, I’ve been meaning to post these for quite a few days now (read: a week or two) – some of this season’s contestants have MySpace pages, and you can now find them on their respective profile pages. I’m unsure whether it’s just that the others don’t have a MySpace page or if I just couldn’t find the pages, but the only ones listed so far are the following: Kelly, Damien, Mel, Laura and Courtney.

Damien’s page seems as much a promotional thing for Dr Elephant, and Laura’s is likely to send you blind if you spend too long on the page (bright flashing colours are a really bad idea!), but for anyone who wanted to know if they have MySpace pages, the answer is yes!

A little extra digging around also revealed that Ajay and Bob both have MySpace pages, check their profiles for links: Ajay, Bob.

If anyone happens to know any other contestant or trainer MySpace pages, feel free to let me know. Second season only, not bothering with the first season folk at this stage.

Secondly, regarding the Finale, whenever it airs – the recap process will change on that night. During the show I will make and update a single post with just the previous/current/total weight losses and percentages, as close to “live” as I can manage, because I don’t want to wait around writing the recap instead of finding out who wins ASAP any more than you guys do. After the finale is finished I’ll go through and write up a “proper” recap and post that as a seperate entry, for those who enjoy such things. And then probably post an “entire series” recap a day or two afterwards.

Thirdly, I didn’t think anyone would actually ask, but since someone did it’s possible someone else will as well, so I’ll post an answer out here where people won’t miss it – I won’t be doing recaps of any kind when it comes to Big Brother as I do not watch the show unless forced to do so. I did this (the recap site) for The Biggest Loser because I enjoy the show and it was something to keep me occupied and out of trouble… somewhat. :)

Big Brother holds no interest for me. If I wanted to watch people sit around and chat, I have real life for that. If I wanted to see people in the shower, the internet is really really great… FOR PORN. Etc.

As I said in response to a comment asking if I would be, the only way it will happen is if I were offered money to do it. I could use the money and would suffer through the show for that if I had to… but not for fun, sorry!

Fourthly, nobody has asked this, but they might… I don’t have any plans to recap any other non-TBL shows at all after this series ends, though I may return to recap Series 3, or do the American version if it airs here, etc. In the interim I am considering doing some other intarweb projects and if I do, I’ll let people know via here.

I think that about wraps it up for now. Don’t forget to watch the show tonight and don’t forget it goes for an hour! :-)

(Update: Finale is confirmed for next Thursday – 7.30pm to 9.30pm – check your local guides!)

Before the challenge the contestants are told to pack their bags and Munnalita says they’re not sure if that means this is the last chance to be in the final or not.
The challenge for today is on Palm Beach. Marty says they crested a small sand dune to see a bunch of red and blue flags set up on the beach and a treadmill, Chris says he was looking around at all sorts of things like the lighthouse and sand dunes and trying to work out what they were going to have to do.

What are they going to have to do this time? Read on to find out…

The fatties wander into the gym to the weigh-in room TVs having been set up – one is displaying “Train the Trainers” and the other has this rhyme:
“Today the tables will be turned,
to find out just how much you’ve learnt,
for all the training you’ve survived,
train the trainers has arrived.”

Kind of lame and learnt should have been learned for the proper rhyme, but nevertheless, they’re all excited!

What terrible training will the lovely Shannan and Michelle be forced to endure? Read on!

Elimination night rolls around once more with Pati and Kimberlie up for elimination.

The animosity between Chris and Kim is well known and Marty and Pati have no reason to love each other, but will the voting be so clear cut? Read on to find out!

With thanks to reader Scarlett for pointing this out, the official site is currently soliciting opinions on the show via a survey – click here to take it!

There are a lot of questions in the survey, as it covers a very large number of topics, from what your favourite and least favourite parts of the show are, to what sorts of things you’d like to see added to the show, or just more of each week.

Of particular note are the many questions which reference such “crowd favourites” as The Walk and the Instant Eliminations. This may be our only chance to have our voices actually be heard en masse about the appalling way this season has been run so please, take the time to fill out the survey. It’ll take you 5-10 minutes but if it results in a much better third season, isn’t that worth 10 minutes of your time? :-)

As always, feel free to discuss any questions that caught your eye in particular or points on which you’d just like to share your opinion.
