It's a good thing I am not a gambler, as I am pretty sure I'd be broke!  With only 5 contestants left before last night's elimination, my vote went to fireman Allen.  I didn't believe he still had enough weight to lose to actually win, but he has an awesome smile and was already looking hot enough to know he would soon be in shape for a firefighter calendar picture!  Alas, Allen was sent home and now we are down to the final 4.  Next week Amanda, Danny, Liz and Rudy will come back and America will vote off one of them, leaving the other 3 to compete in the season finale.  May the best man or woman win, I have loyalty to none.  I am, however, as excited as always to see all the contestants transformations, especially Shay and Abby.  Apparently several romantic relationships evolved this season, so I am curious to see and hear how those are going, as well.  Biggest Loser, part weight loss show, part dating game, all LIFE ALTERING AND LIFE SAVING!  As a bonus round this season, tonight we get to see previous season's contestants and winners and where they are now.  Look for that at 8pm eastern time on NBC.  I'll be watching as I begin my preparations for tomorrow's holiday. 

Family and family friends will be arriving around 4 tomorrow and the turkey eaters will mingle with the tofurky eaters as several generations of loved ones fill my home with laughter and love and give me endless reasons to be thankful.  Though Kyle's presence will be missed, we are happy that he will be happy spending the day with his girlfriend's family.  With so much to be thankful for each and every day, hosting the Thanksgiving holiday is something I look forward to each and every year. 

Why not begin your holiday a little early and take a moment, now, to meditate upon all the things you have to be thankful for.  It will make tomorrow that much sweeter.
