http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/31/THE-BIGGEST-LOSER.aspx If you’ve followed these pages on THE BIGGEST LOSER you know that I have been vexed continually by the deep voiced announcer. With Neil water loading last week and throwing strategy back into this feel-good love fest, my announcer buddy took the subdued route. Think hushed tones and music indicating “A Very Special BIGGEST LOSER,” and you get the idea. It was almost enough to make one hope for extra “BEE MOVIE” promos. But then I might be suffering from a Helsinki-type Syndrome and have fallen in love with my tormentor. On the other hand, based on the relentless ads from NBC I’m fully prepared to revoke Seinfeld title as comic genius. Back to the show. Neil wasn’t the only one who was messing with the scales. Ryan remains suspect to me for gaining a pound and Amy confessed to Jillian that she had been “pressured” to throw last week’s weigh-in. “Who pressured you?” Jillian asked, with her over-dramatic after-school special emoting. Through a few extra forced tears, Amy confessed, “Neil.” I was expecting Jillian to ask her to show her on the doll where the bad thing happened. 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/2007/10/31/THE-BIGGEST-LOSER.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/31/THE-BIGGEST-LOSER.aspx#2065 I HOPE THEY ALL CAN KEEP THE WEIGHT OFF ONCE THEY LEAVE THE SHOW.
