Contestants are going to Colorado to train at the USA Olympic training center.  NBC trying to create excitement for the Olympics that start in three days that they are coincidentally :-) broadcasting.  They are trying real hard to evoke an emotive response.  Not feeling it.  Bored.

Hey Speedy…I’m not doing those lunges during the commercial break!

Love watching the Biggest Loser contestants fall on the slide board.  The whole family is cheering with laughter as each one goes down (yea…we’re entertained by others’ pain).  Sam (gold medal).  Melissa (silver medal).  Sunshine (bronze medal).

O’Neal wins immunity this week.  Two are going home.

This Week’s Weigh-in:

  • O’Neal – (-8 lbs.) [2.4%]
  • Michael – (-11) [2.48%] (just missed the record for losing 100 lbs. in six weeks)
  • Stephanie – (-4) [1.78%]
  • Sunshine (-6) [2.45%]
  • Koli (-9) [2.69%]
  • Andrea (-7) [2.67%]
  • Darrell (-5) [1.46%]
  • Sam (-12) [3.87%]
  • Sherry (-3) [1.67%]
  • Ashley (-6) [1.89%]
  • Daris (-9) [3.18%] (highest percentage of weight loss thus far this season)
  • Cheryl (-3) [1.55%]
  • Miggy (-7) [3.4%] (she seems a lot happier with her daughter gone.)
  • Lance (-9) [2.87%]
  • Melissa (+1) [%]

Melissa fell below the red line.  She goes home immediately.  OK…maybe she has been telling the truth.  Explain it now Bob & Jillian…”I know the science.”  On the other hand – it seems she has a good-bye speech already prepared.  Did she plan this?  Is this the only way should could possibly win the $100,000 (?)

Below the yellow line: Darrell & Cheryl (that rhymes :-) )

No vote for Darrell and Cheryl!!  They are doing an elimination challenge (it’s like Survivor).  They have to eat glass.  Just kidding.  They have to balance a torch on their head (hmmm…just like Survivor).  ”You have been at it for one minute” – Allison Sweeney (that made me laugh).

TO BE CONTINUED!!!?  ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!

Did not like this episode (since I know the Biggest Loser Producers are reading my blog). :-)

Sunday we began a new series entitled Mission: Possible.  The first week was “OBJECTIVE.”

It is the answer to this question, “So, what is your church about?”  If you were ever curious – you should listen here. One of my favorite topics.  Oh…and if your computer allows you to play back in slow motion, you will hear me preach at a “normal” speed.  But…what’s normal? :-)

Sweet Surprise

Someone left these at the door of the church this morning!!  Looked anonymous.  No card or signature.  I was tempted to give it to Ann & Jennae or my wife and take credit for it but my conscience wouldn’t allow it.  So…to “anonymous” - thank you…for being a diet saboteur with some delicious chocolate!! :-)
