Episode 2 (Spoiler Alert)

 Way too busy to write this week's post.  So we have guest blogger: Guinea Pig

Santa Gets Saved, But The Red Team Still Needs Jesus


I haven't watched BL in 2 years, because of my enemy number one Soap Opera Diva Alison Sweeney. That is a long story but I will say I miss Caroline Rhea.

I decided to watch for three reasons this season. I am participating in Lose Big 2012 (a private weight loss challenge ala BL) and we all discuss the show, so... I don't want to be out of the loop. The second reason is Dolvett Quince, He is a good and welcome change. Finally,  I auditioned twice for this season and as a result I am curious.
I am so grateful that I wasn't chosen, these people are out for blood. The problem is that on top of the fact that the two teams are so competitive with each other, within the teams they don't seem too supportive of each other.

Anytime you start something by gambling on it, there is room for disaster. Kim and Kimmy made a crazy decision on week two and I honestly think they should have voted one of them off because of that stupidity. They all worked hard for it and really didn't seem to let it stop them or discourage them. I love Dolvett's fire.  He pushes them in a way that, in my humble opinion, is far better than anything Jillian ever did.

The rivalry between Bob and Dolvett is also something I LOVE.  Bob seems so angry, and it amuses me. (sorry, Bob!) What doesn't amuse me is with the new way they have split the teams. This does not allow for real team bonding and unification. I feel that is needed in these first few weeks. In the red team especially I don't know what's going on. Last week at the weigh in Conda starts inappropriately mouthing off about Mike, I am not sure what he did that was so bad, but I could have missed something. This week she has fire in her eyes and so much hatred towards him.  She turned the team against him, and in my opinion the wrong person went home.

I am happy that Santa was saved by his wife, what a sweet moment! Overall, I like the new format of the show, but hope it doesn't stay so angry.  As long as I can keep my mind off my nemesis Alison Sweeney, I will be a fan of the show again.

In case you were curious as to why I did not mention the challenge, I thought it was boring and not really noteworthy. Gail, the lazy old lady on the black team, WOW is she deluded about herself and the opinion her team has of her. They are obviously not her biggest fans, but she is clueless to that fact.

I love the NO EXCUSES theme this year.  Will this be a whine free year?  I sure hope so.
