In honor of Ethan's checkout in the newest Transworld (seen below) I thought I would go through my iPhoto and find a few of my favorite pictures of him. I can not stress enough that these are only the tip of the iceberg.

So this was the week that all the contestants that have been kicked off got a chance to come back to the ranch. All the eliminated players showed up to the ranch to weigh in and the man and woman with the biggest percent of body weight lost would get to re-join the competition on the ranch. I know I said last week that it didn't look like any of them had lost any weight but I was wrong. They all pretty much killed it at home. In the end though, Mark and Ali were allowed to come back to compete for the $250,000.
Right away you could tell the three girls left were bummed that Ali was going to be joining them. Maybe it's because they didn't get along before or maybe it's because the three of them have had the chance to work out with Jillian in the state of the art gym with the support of all the people there since Ali was sent home and she has managed to lose twice the weight as all of them. You be the judge.
At the challenge this week is was everyone for themselves. They were set up on stationary bikes and they had to peddle them until they lit up some light bulbs or something. I think I was doing homework during this part and wasn't really paying attention. I do know that Dan won and his prize was two votes at the elimination this week. That's a pretty big deal.
At weigh in, Jillian sort of went off on the host Allison (who I just found out is one of the stars of the popular day time drama Days Of Our Lives) and it was awkward for everyone involved. My man Dan let me down by only losing 4lbs and it wasn't looking good for him. Everyone else did well, except of Britney who lost 2lbs (let me tell you, that did not help her confidence) and it looked as though her and Dan would be below the yellow line and up for elimination. Lucky for Dan, Maggie blew it too and lost 3lbs which put her on the chopping block along with Britney.
HOWEVER! For some reason they didn't show elimination and they're making us wait until next week. Bullshit, right?
The good news is that next week is the episode where they give everyone make-overs and if that wasn't enough, they're enlisting the help of the one and only Tim Gunn. Get hyped. Let's see if the contestants can "make it work".
Looks like Not Today Fatty's field trip to France in a couple weeks has gotten a little more interesting.
French women are becoming increasingly assertive in their sexual habits, while one-in-five younger French men "has no interest in sex", according to one of the most comprehensive surveys of the nation's love lives.
Women now have more than twice as many partners as they did in the 1970s, according to the study by the French Aids research agency, which is backed by the government.
You put those facts together with the fact that France has yet to meet Phil Kammer and I think we have ourselves a revolution!
Quick Note: To those wondering where last weeks review of BL was I didn't write one. The blue team won a trip to Vegas and they all got tattoos saying pride and I've been trying to block it out of my memory since. Sorry. On to this week.
This week went right into the temptation challenge where the contestants faced a vending machine with junk food, money, and a one pound pass they could use at the next weigh in. The contestants had to enter a number at random and if junk food fell, they had to eat it but if it was money they got to keep it and go again if they wanted. If they got the one pound pass their turn was over. Long story short, everyone got the one pound pass with the exception of Kelly who ate 700+ calories trying to get it and Dan who ate 1100+ calories trying to get it. On the plus side for Dan, he also won $9,500 dollars. Kelly won jack shit.
The physical challenge was some zip line bullshit that the blue team won easily and their prize was to fly in a fighter jet. I hope they all puke.
At weigh in, Alison dropped a bomb on the players and informed they there were no more teams and only the two people who lost the least amount of weight would be up for elimination. Roger became the first contestant this season to lose 100lbs so far (way to go man) while Kelly and Bernie fell below the yellow line.
At elimination, Kelly and Bernie each had two votes and it came down to Roger to decide who was leaving the ranch. He mentioned how Kelly had saved him earlier in the game and had to do the same and voted for Bernie. There were no hard feelings and Bernie went back to Chicago confident he'll be winning the $100,000 grand at the finale.
Next Week is the episode where all the players who have been sent home return and get a chance to stay. From the looks of the preview, most of them haven't kept their weight off. Way to go quitters.
Seattle meter maids look just a little happier today scootin' down the street on their brand new Segways. I actually mistook one for someone who has a place and purpose our modern world. When I realized it was only a meter maid I quickly screamed (by habit) an obscenity about her career choice and abnormally elongated clitoris. To my amazement, she not only opted not to walk away sadly but actually responded with a snicker and a "nice one, little man" before segin' the fuck out of there.
On a side note I've been contemplating suicide for the last 4 hours.
I can't believe it's been ten years. It seems like it was just yesterday when you were first making an ass out of yourself on national TV. Here's to another decade of keeping it off!!!
He ran off to Mexico after during the Y2K scare and haven't seen him since. His kids (my dad and uncles) found this in his sock drawer next to some soccer trophies.
