http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/24/THE-BIGGEST-LOSER----Teams-No-More.aspx Last week I was promised “THE MOST SHOCKING WEIGH-IN IN BIGGEST LOSER HISTORY!” by that gravely voiced siren that cuts the promos and bumpers for the show. I hate that guy. This episode started with the teams getting blown up. With twelve remaining potential losers, there would now be four teams of three and the power to pick teams was up to a poker game where the wagering was in calories. They played with chips…chocolate chips, wafers, cheese in red wax, crackers and peanut butter cups. The catch was that what was bet had to be eaten by the bettor and there would be only one winner. It meant a lot of consumed, vacant calories. I mean if NBC is going to all the trouble of making these people lose the weight, I think they have every right to break their spirit once in a while. “I was prepared to eat everything on that table,” said Hollie of the challenge. We know that Hollie. Everybody knows that. When it came time to ante up Kae was the only one who wouldn’t play. She knew better than to engage in this foolishness. And I’m saying it right now, she has a legitimate shot as being the first woman to win this thing despite being so (relatively) tiny. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/24/THE-BIGGEST-LOSER----Teams-No-More.aspx 77 60
