Hi all! Well this premiere week for this new fun sub game has been quite a success, I am so happy that people wanna play this because I think we'll have lots of fun.

Remember, this is much more lighthearted look at Biggest Loser, it is an add on to the Smallest Winner Competition, as a celebration of our first full season of play. Please don't be offended if we joke around or poke fun at some of the standbys of the show or the show itself, it is all done with love in our hearts and a smile on our lips.

This is the chart I made up, I know it looks bad. That 65kb limit is really hurting my upload capabilities. Looks much better as a jpeg than a gif is all I'm saying...


So the trivia part is the one that is most hard to read. That last line is for participation, or better said, if you survived.

Here is a rundown of the trivia answers as I see it:

Q1: Will Bob encourage a contestant to chew gum this episode? [Him making offhanded remarks or observations count, like "oh, I noticed you're chewing trident blast gum, how cool is that!"]yes/no (10 pts)



Here is the gum in question:



As you can see by this next shot, Bob can't resist his Sweet Watermellon Gum! as he lunges across the counter toward the 'gum bowl?':



And finally, here is the man in mid chew, with a gaze upon him as if he sees and comprehends the secrets of the universe... thanks to his Extra Sugarfree Gum that is!:



The answer to Q1 is Yes.


now onto Jillian, sweet Jillian...

Q2. Will Jillian 'make' a contestant cry, or be in the presence of a contestant whilst they are crying? yes/no (15 pts)

John reveals his pain about the curse, crying, but notice Jillian in the corner there, all innocent-like:



Then she takes charge!:



As a bonus, here is her making a SECOND contestant cry, poor Maria, after losing a pint of blood, Jillian gives her 'the look':




The answer to Q2 is Yes, and then some!

This one isn't so much visual as it is an audio count, so did some short transcription for it:

Q3. During weigh ins, how many times will Alison say the word "Congratulations"? (20 pts)

a) zero times, she never says that!
b) once, only once...
c) 2-6 times
d) 7-8 times
e) 9-12 times
f) 13-15 times
g) 16 or more times, and I don't mind!

First off, here is a darth vaderesque shot of our dear Alison Sweeney before the contestants enter the weigh in arena:



Then the lights go on and hey! It's the beautiful Alison Sweeney there! Peekaboo indeed.



She was just hiding in the dark there for fun... maybe for hours on end in the quiet cold darkness, but still, it had dramatic effect! :-)

So here is the transcript of the Congratulations she heaped upon the contestants, some slipped in there almost subliminally.

1. Thank you pink team, congratulations!

2. You did it! Congratulations Cheryl, you are here for one more week!

3. Congratulations Orange Team, that is just enough to put you above the Purple Team

4. John, how you feeling? ...Congratulations.

5. Congratulations [John] You are here for one more week

6. Congratulations Black Team, you are going to be here for one more week

7. I like the way you think white team, congratulations!

8. Congratulations White Team, you killed it.


Yes, dear TVCH'ers, she said it EIGHT times! She is really tricky sometimes with the congrats, but I and my trusty DVR cannot be denied! If anyone contests me, go back to the footage, it may be available at nbc.com or hulu.com eventually and I can time stamp them for you if it comes to that. But as it stands:

The answer to Q3 is D, 7-8 times.

Sadly enough, we must bid farewell to one of our own this very first round of The Allymination Game, as Mysti graciously admitted.

I'll let Alison say it, with her stern and serious pose on:


"I'm sorry Mysti, buy you have been... Allyminated"

[end of Alison Sweeney voice]


Well this is tc saying this is a cruel game, and so it goes, thank you for playing Mysti, feel free to cheer on the other contestants and hope all is well. With a tinge of bittersweet I must also announce that Mysti is our score leader of the game as she takes her bow. Let's all give a cheer for her, people!



Bye Mysti!

Tc that chart is awesome!

It's interesting that we have different choices for the ultimate winner.

Sorry to see you go Mysti but you are obviously too good at the bonus questions!

RMAO, TC!! Too funny.

"They're all dead. I'm cursed!" not funny but that cap is hilarious.

I had a different count for the congrats but I think I was fixated on a team getting congrats.. we had all the same teams but you caught her congratulating two teams more than once.

Not that it matters for me since I thought she was much more generous with her congratulations.

I do worry about my choice of Maria since her son may continue to pull big numbers and keep her in.. well she may continue to pull big numbers as well. They aren't a big threat for any balance or water comps and I have to speculate that our Maria may also fear height, which would be a real downer for the White team.

Since I can't use Maria again, she is now free to leave the show at any time!

TC, Great job on the chart and the summary.

You covered about the same amount of meaningful information in one post that the show needs 2 hours to cover.


... Coming up ...

Bob posts about all the wasted time in the 2 hour show

The show spends so much time telling us what is going to happen after the commercial! Just go to commercial and give us more show!

... Previously, in Bob's posts ...

Bob complained about being told what will happen, instead of actually just being shown the event.

<... goes off to chew a piece of "Extra Sugarfree Sweet Watermelon Gum"...>

Wow! That was just like watching the show. An uncanny resemblance.

I always find it amusing when they show old footage all grainy, streaked and in black and white. NBC needs to review their storage practices. Their stuff deteriorates awfully fast.

LOL.. yes.. strange and strained techniques.

Well since it is a bloated two hour show at least there are some places where I can happily fast forward.

When Dr Huizenga was going through team by team telling them how sick they are, I was SO grateful that they finally stopped and didn't show him with each and every team. Jeez, just say.. "Y'all are sick" and be done with it as far as the tv show is concerned.

And I'd be happy with stipulations.

"We stipulate that Bob will be pushing sugarless gum on each and every team; especially that watermelon flavor!"

"We stipulate that Bodybuggs will be used"

"We stipulate that they are encouraged to use those Brita filters on their water" (assuming Brita is still a sponsor, otherwise we are pushing another filter)

"We stipulate that we use Jennie-O lean turkey breast" (unless we aren't anymore)

And don't forget those special ziplock baggies!

And you could never forget 24 hour fitness.

Alrighty, to those of you who dared to survive for another week, please give the person who you think will survive for this upcoming week, as well as answering these probing Trivia questions:

Q1: Will we see blood spilt once more on the set of Biggest Loser this week?? yes/no (10pts)

Q2: Will Jillian climb onto any gym equiptment and/or contestants this episode? [this includes perching on treadmills and climbing the backs of people as they try to work out in peace] yes/no (15 pts)

Q3: [In honor of Seamonkey's awesome post of insightful stipulations ]:
Will Bob. . .

A) mention innocently something about a bodybug

B) offhandedly remark about the brilliance of brita filters under his breath

C) adherently stand by Jennie-O turkey as if it were on trial for a crime it didn't commit

D) become amazed by the advanced technologies of Ziplock

E) gum again

F) All of the above

G) None of the above

{mind you, if he just mentions the product, it also counts as a score, too }
(20 pts)

I assume you mean will there be blood in new footage? I mean it is pretty much a given that they will run clips of Maria's bloody nose incident as nauseum any time they feature Maria.. seems like Tracey's collapse and evacuation were replayed many times last season, just in case we could manage to forget.

So does it have to be fresh blood to count?
