2 Many Aussie Big Fat Losers!
So the second season of Australia's Biggest Loser is starting in a couple of weeks. And unlike the most recent American version of the show, we get Jillian Michaels back, instead of that drippy blonde plastic thing they replaced her with, known as Kim Lyons.
The pair have very different styles when it comes to training (ie. Jillian can train and Kim cannot), and the boistrous brunette beauty has spoken out in the media about her dimwitted replacement without holding back.
"I appreciate the fact that she's not trying to be me, but I probably would do just about everything differently."
"You're not doing this, are you? You're a cheerleader!"
Sensibly, Kim is yet to respond to Jillian's comments. It's probably the smartest thing she's done since signing on for the show. Or perhaps she just can't read.
to take this woman on? Certainly not ME!
So thankfuly we'll have the original two back in Australia doing their thang with our chubby contestants. Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels. A whole host of women (and gay men) will be happy to see Bob return, and maybe I'll get another sulky email from Artie. Who knows.
the Australian version of the show ...
but Bob will be back, big teeth and all.
It'll be very interesting to see who our Fat Losers are this season. From the ad, only a few look grossly overweight, but we all saw last year how a little guy could take out the crown when it's all said and done. One of the promos showed a truly MASSIVE guy (I didn't catch his name because I was too busy going, "Whoa! Look at him! He's HUUUUUUGE!"), so I hope they all get the help they need.
So who are those jokers? Well, although Jillian and Bob are going to be on the show, they're somehow going to have smaller roles or something ... because these two are the two new Aussie trainers who'll be taking the Red and Blue Teams through their paces. Good for the show? I can't see how. Anything that takes Jillian and Bob away from our screens in favour of some less-than-star-quality local talent is likely to get people like Magical_M in an uproar. But Network Ten has made some silly decisions before ... and they're still around, ruing shows for everybody.
(Actually, Network Ten is in my good books again, after putting The 4400 and Battlestar Galactica back on screen for me - and back to back on Sunday nights! I'm happy.)
But back to the point of this post: The Aussie trainers are Shannan Ponton (the guy) and Michelle Bridges (obviously the girl). We don't know them, and (at this point, at least) we don't care about them. Maybe that'll change, but if it means less screen time for our beloved US originals, we might just have to start a revolution.

News Flash!
I just heard that Ch 10's new show Saving Babies (hosted by Kim Watkins) has been axed!
Apparently David came along, offered all the babies placebos and they were all fixed!
No show anymore!
I'm sorry... I thought I heard you say "less Bob".
Less Bob???
No.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
[beats self about the head]
Bob was the only thing that kept me from throwing my wine glass at the television every time that freak Jo came on.
There will be an uproar if there is less Bob. Make no mistake about it. There will be rallies. There will be tears. There will be furious emails fired off to Channel 10.
Heads will roll.
Channel 10 - you have been warned.
Thought you might be interested in this -
Hey there, my name is Ganesha, myself and Kram will be hosting a weekly Podcast (online radio show) on the new season of Biggest Loser called 'Chew The Fat' (good huh!).
We will also be conducting interviews with some of the last seasons contestants to provide insight into the experience including Jo and David and hopefully Adro.
Hey its a plug i know but nobody else is going to promote it for us, we do this on our own!
We have been lucky enough to have gained the support and inclusion of Sandy Frazer, food coach and bestselling author of the Livin Lite recipe books. In fact as part of this Podcast she will be assisting me with my own weight loss (gulp). What I hope this will do is resolve the biggest issue with this show - how does a person who works full time and has other interests actually lose weight? I think you will also gain more from the Podcast if one of the hosts is actually attempting to lose weight at the same time as the contestants and even perhaps yourself. We are interested to hear what your take on this will be.
This is a free fan Podcast, we do not make any money from this at all.
Check it out at website at www.chewthefat.libsyn.com You can go listen to our earlier shows there.
Tyson, you're terrible! Very funny, though. :)
Magical_M, well done for telling Network Ten they're on notice. I've done it a few times now, and it's always worked for me. I wish you luck in your "MORE BOB" endeavours.
Anonymous, that sounds like a great show. No shame in plugging something that good! I wholeheartedly commend any-and-all readers to pop over there and check out their podcasts. All the best for the show, guys. I hope it goes well!
Nice blog. I will keep reading. Please take the time to visit my blog about loss weight program
