'Biggest Loser': history made

Guest blogger John-John Williams IV reports:

Neil’s departure the other night resulted in The Biggest Loser history. For the first time, the final four contestants all come from one team.

Hard to imagine that it has taken this long for a team to stick together and use a strategy to advance to the finals.

It’s also hard to get over the fact that Julie, Hollie, Isabeau, and Bill – also known as the black team – were formed after each of them was not chosen to be a part of the red or blue teams. That Jillian – the black team’s trainer -- gets results! She took a team of castoffs and turned them into the skinniest contestants standing. Jillian deserves extra kudos for Isabeau, who also made Biggest Loser history by losing more weight than any other women before going into the finals. So far she’s lost 81 pounds!

My money has to be on Bill. He consistently turns out great weight-loss numbers and he has been involved in minimal controversy. He’s always seems to have had a good attitude.

While I was watching The Biggest Loser – and consuming a very unhealthy dinner – I saw a teaser for the new American Gladiators. That’s right, the new installment of the hit 90s show will premiere Jan. 6.

Here’s the skinny: fresh from the announcement of his divorce, Hulk Hogan will host the show aling with Dancing With the Stars alum and boxer Laila Ali.

The show’s Web site promises the latest installment will use special effects and the latest technology.

Forget the technology and a the special effects! People are going to be checking out the show to catch a glimpse of all those muscular beauties and brutes pushing themselves to the physical limits!
