It’s clear from watching The Biggest Loser Australia and USA, that Jillian subscribes to the theory that a lot of people who are overweight, are overweight due to some underlying emotional issues – and she always tries to help people through that because she knows it’s a proven fact that the majority of people who lose a lot of weight sadly put it right back on again unless they deal with these emotions.
Over the weekend I managed to get my hands on the first, and indeed only, UK seasons of Survivor that aired back in around 2003/4. I have gone ahead and uploaded the first episode of season 1 to a new youtube account but I must warn you guys that ITV have a tendency to get things removed from the video sharing sites, so I am not convinced I will be able to bring them to you. In addition I am going to be pretty busy over the next few weeks on other projects, so what I am going to do is let them sit for a while – maybe a week or two – and if they have not been removed by then, you will have some Survivor UK to enjoy. Yay.
I came across an interesting project earlier today, this website creates Weekly Shorts and asks it’s readers to submit some basic information about themselves followed by a character name, whether they are human or other and their favourite genre, they will then write up a short story, post it and link to the person who submitted. Nice idea, and it’s neat that the long term eventual plan is to have enough short stories to create an actual full book. Why not go ahead and read some of the stories, or even submit yourself – you never know one day it could become the next ‘best seller’ and your name will be up in lights 
I personally like this story that is already on the site a lot: The Fisherman’s daughter initially just because I was so amused with the unique character name of Amygdala, but it’s also very touching and the surprise at the end is that there isn’t a last minute twist.
We are about a third of the way into this season of The Biggest Loser Australia now, how is every one enjoying it so far? I generally find this lot a lot more likable than last years bunch of misfits. In this episode we see the result of the challenge we were left waiting for in the last episode, spend a little time with the black team in America and watch the 3rd weigh in of the season unfold. Enjoy.
