Biggest Loser

I can't wait for this season to be over.
I think a lot of it isn't real and is set up -- I don't trust the scales and the way they make people vote off others, is just mean. If this was truly a contest to see who can be the biggest loser, they would automatically let the person with the lowest weight loss percentage, go home.

Also, last season they had a guy named Neil, who gained 11 pounds by drinking water. It was all a strategy so he would be one of the people up for elimination -- this way, the group would vote to get rid of the other guy. This made me angry! It's dirty, dishonest and physically dangerous and (in my opinion) impossible and unlikely. That's one of the reasons I don't trust the scale and think it could be rigged. Anyhow, this season there's a father - son team and the father is underhanded, sneaky and manipulative. He has said and did whatever he can to make sure his son in in the final four. Both of them ended up in the final four so the ending should be interesting.

I know who I'd like to see win but I'm betting it won't be that person....

Incidentally, I wonder how much a size 8 person weighs.
Also, I wonder what size a 161 pound person would be... curious because of something the biggest loser contestant, Helen, said.

Murder Suicide and Facebook Popularity

Man, Woman Dead in Murder-Suicide at Michigan College Fox News - April 10

"The bodies of Asia McGowan, 20, of Ecorse, and Anthony Powell, 28, of Detroit, were discovered inside a classroom at a Henry Ford Community College building after police responded to an emergency call of an assault and shortly afterward reports of a shot being fired on campus, said Dearborn Deputy Police Chief Gregg Brighton." ~ Newsday

It's sad this sort of thing happens and I feel really bad for the families involved but the reason I'm blogging about this tragedy is because of a T.V. news broadcast. They showed some YouTube video of the victim dancing and also showed video of the gunman ranting and venting whatever was on his mind at the time. Based on the small video clips, he obviously seemed angry and crazed - if that wasn't enough to convince the viewer, they announced that he had only three or four facebook friends; the victim and object of his obsession, was one of them. Whereas, the victim had friends that numbered somewhere in the high eight hundreds.

This is the part that bothered me. Facebook is full of spammers and trolls that add people randomly. It's also full of innocent people that don't say no to friend requests. I'm guessing the victim, Asia McGowan, was one of those nice people who was popular and friendly with many people but not necessarily friends with everyone on her list.

My question is: How does the Facebook "popularity" of the victim and her killer, factor into this?

Happy Easter

I'm going to dye some eggs tomorrow with neon colors.
Here's a picture of last years eggs -- I think they turned out really nice.





Personally, I hope I get chocolate
