Biggest Whiner

Okay, I admit it. I watch one of those reality TV shows. I'm not crazy about most of them, but I do like watching "The Biggest Loser." Why? Because I can relate to their struggles. Because I continue to relate to their struggles. Because I'm envious of their opportunity to workout with a trainer. Because I'm envious of their controlled environment. Because I would love to have a chef cooking for me. Because I used to BE (and still am, to an extent) like them. But that's another story. This is another rant.

Okay, Suzy is driving me crazy. Stop with the whining already! She complains about how it is oh, so hard on poor, poor Suzy (and the other girls) to watch the guys win the weigh-in every time. Those boys are just being so mean for not thinking of the poor girls' feelings while they celebrate their wins with victory dances. And as she continues to lament, her voice keeps getting higher and higher and higher until the woman is practically screeching. Somebody put a cork in it for her, will ya?

And Shannon has such a chip on her shoulder. She is absolutely convinced that all of the guys are against her. She complains about being dis-respected, but won't offer up even a smidgen of respect herself. Well, duh, honey, that's a two way street. You know, it's a wonder the Shannon and Suzy ever get any sleep as they are constantly partying. Pity partying, that is. I've never seen such water works. Between the two of them, they must have cried a river! OMG, ladies, GET OVER YOURSELVES.

Of course, Mark wasn't much better, coming right out and calling the girls "dirt bags." Like, dude, that's just so rude! Whatever your personal opinions might be, restrain yourself, okay? You're a cop. These girls aren't criminals. No wonder the girls are upset with attitudes like that coming from the boys. However, I did like Caroline's response, "Suck it up." Yeah, duh, huh? That was a toughie.

What saddened me, was the inidividual they let go. Pete had done such a great job making the pairs (okay, so you have to watched the show to know what that means, but it doesn't really matter so I won't go into it) that everyone involved actually seemed pleased. It was really sad to see him go, but wow! You should see him now. He looks spectacular. I wonder if my lamenting his departure makes me the Biggest Whiner?
