Gray and Gray and Green All Over

by

I recently read an article in Men's Journal about the football draft.  They said that The Samoans are an overlooked group, and a good bet.  Based on Sam and Koli's journeys on this season's Biggest Loser, I get it!  They are smart, determined and strong of body and mind.  I am so relieved to see Sam stick around for still another week.  Jillian keeps calling him skinny.  He … [Read more...] about Gray and Gray and Green All Over

Well, well, well look who's back.  Just when it was so peaceful without Melissa, she plows through the 1000 step challenge and returns with a week of immunity, no less!  There is no question she is a force to be reckoned with and her return to the show makes everyone work a little harder.  We also saw Victoria return, as the remaining contestants got to vote one person back on, … [Read more...] about Seeing RED
