Tonight... on The Biggest Lesbian

Did Kaylee on NBC's 'The Biggest Loser' come out of the closet on Tuesday night and did NBC edit it out? It sure seemed that way.


20 year old Kaylee from Shelley, Idaho, decided her time was up. "I kind of had a moment. I mean of course 'The Biggest Loser' is about weight loss, but for me, there was something else I was looking for, and that was to find myself. And to find confidence. And I found that this week." At the end of their last chance workout, her trainer Kara asks, "Do you feel strong?" Kaylee takes her hands and says, "I feel stronger than I've ever felt.... I'm changed. I know what's best for me. I found my voice and my voice is telling me that I'm done here. There isn't much more for me, I'm so close to my goal weight and I've found what I've been looking for emotionally, it's like, what else is there for me?" she says tearfully. Wait, what did she find? NBC cut to commercial before we could find out.

NBC, in general, is one of the more liberal networks on television. "The Office" provides satire regarding homophobia (Michael Scott or Dwight's reaction of Oscar being gay)

Michael Scott: Can you tell who's gay and who's not?
Dwight Schrute: Of course.
Michael Scott: What about Oscar?
Dwight Schrute: Absolutely not.
Michael Scott: Well... he is.
Dwight Schrute: Well he's not dressed in women's clothes so... -

It certainly does not carry the stigma of being home to an openly conservative news network, like Fox News.

So if she did come out on camera, why did they cut it out? Hypothetically, of course. Four years of critical examination of television, film, and all media have ruined my sense of wonder. Now I just demand to know the truth. (I guess I could have done that without four years of a liberal arts education. Oopz) 'The Biggest Loser' seems to have a notoriously Christian and conservative audience (not including this liberal Jew), and same goes with the players. This season, six of the 22 contestants are Mormon: including Kaylee and her dad Moses, along with four more.



This wouldn't be the first time a lady has come on The Biggest Loser, and while losing pounds, she discovered her true self as I believe Kaylee did.

TMZ has learned Rasha Spindel -- who appeared on the NBC reality show back in 2006 with her then-fiance Edwin Chapman -- recently divorced the guy after three years of marriage ... and is now engaged to a woman.

Of course, I'm speculating. Maybe all the 20 year old needed was to "find her voice". No matter what that voice is saying ("I like girls"). No matter that up until now, the show has given no specific examples of the voice she was lacking. It is as vague and cliche as saying "I found myself". Ok, but what did you find? What kind of person are you? What drives you? In the same vein, what kind of voice do you have, Kaylee? Are you funny? Are you a good friend? Are you outspoken?

Even if Kaylee isn't gay and her declaration of finding her voice wasn't about her (homo)sexuality, I think I (and the rest of the eight billion people who watch the show) would like to know what her voice is saying. We have invested in you girlfriend! If not by watching the entire season (and past) so far, at least for an hour and twenty minutes of this episode until you decided to open your mouth. Give me some specifics and maybe I'll shut up.

I guess I'll have to wait until the Morman community would accept Kaylee and TMZ gets ahold of it. When that happens, be confident that I will say "told you so!"

16 and BRILLIANT!

Lately I have been watching a lot of "Sixteen and Pregnant". Genius show. No sarcasm there. I have always been a big proponent of MTV's 'docu' series: "True Life", "Made" (I "Made" my own "Made" once.), "Fat Camp", the triumphant "Return to Fat Camp", etc. On today's 9:30 am episode, a 16 and pregnant Arizona charmer (Aubrey, above) and her husband, while escaping poverty by living with the girl's Mee-Maw, blew the husband's paycheck on a gold scanner.

Like a metal detector, but equipped only to alert the user when GOLD is near. I think this was a really good way for them to spend their money. Think of the practicality. One ounce of gold will make them a thousand dollars or so, therefore, the gold scanner will pay for itself! A hundred fold!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and the holidays coming up, I'm thankful for MTV's docuseries. Without them, I might have a moment to take a step back and examine my own life with a critical microscope. And nobody should need to do that. Not until they're pregnant, at least.

Not Funny

Recently, two people basically told me "don't quit your day job" in regard to this blog. RUDE! Even if I had a day job to quit, I think this blog is just fine. Humph. You haterz know who you are.

With that said, I have nothing to report. Bye.

I'm in love with someone from a reality show that nobody except me watched

Meaning... I may have a chance!

Let me introduce you to my new favorite fall Bravo show "Thintervention with Jackie Warner". This Biggest Loser/Jillian Michaels' "Losing It" rip puts a new spin on fat people shows. It takes the competition out, and encourages healthy living everyday. There is no lockdown house where contestants stay, nor are the contestants morbidly obese. Instead, they are like most Americans, 30-50 pounds overweight, and those who wish to make a healthy change.

There were eight cast members on the show, and I have made the executive decision that I am going to marry one. His name is Joe, he was the resident a-hole, and he's perfect. He is constantly getting in trouble for his big mouth. When the season finale was on last night, me and the other eight people in America who were watching it's mouths dropped. He was beautiful. Cut and clean and gorgeous. The last snippet of the show revealed that he got a promotion and moved to Denver. Denver sounds good to me! He said he was ready to meet and boink his soulmate. I think I have a pretty good shot. He looks and sounds Jewish. It doesn't get much better than this, ladiez.

Peter Pan/Toys R Us Moment

Is it so completely insane that I love my 'retail'/no-brainer/front desk job and totally hate my big-girl job? I guess it's not too insane. But why can't I just keep the front desk job forever? Why must I grow up?

Benefits...
Insurance...
Respectable profession to report at reunions...

Arbitrary, really. How long can I keep this job and it still be ok? i.e. "Oh, but you just graduated! Lots of people don't have real jobs now!"

"Oh, you're 65 and still work the front desk at a health club? That's ok! We all need some time to get adjusted! Now off to my flying car!"

Reassure me. Now!

The Documentary of "The Office"

How come The Office never acknowledges that they are a reality show? Clearly the show is shot in documentary format, and during the first couple of seasons each episode took place on a Friday, supposedly in a progression, one Friday to the next and so on.

So why don't they ever talk about the DVDs being released? Or the impact the viewers have made on Jim and Pam's relationship? Because if it truly were a reality show, especially one on BRAVO, you can bet your toosh that there'd be a 'text-in' portion about 3/4 of the way through each episode.

DO YOU THINK JIM SHOULD ASK PAM OUT EVEN THOUGH SHE'S ENGAGED TO ROY? YES- TEXT 12328 TO 32948. RESULTS ONLINE AT BRAVOTV.COM!

This has been bothering me for years, and finally I have an outlet! Has this bothered anyone else or am I just another film major who's taken TV a tad too far?

Why I Hate the Top 40

Following the same principles of my previous blog post "Why I Love the Top 40" I heard a song that makes me want to puke, and realized I've heard it (along with "California Gurls" and "I Like It" 54292712 times in the past two hours. Here is a non-exhaustive list of Why I Hate the Top 40

1. "Love the Way You Lie" Eminem ft. Rihanna

Some have called this song and video "controversial" (I am loosely quoting DJs from KissFM- go figure), in that it deals with domestic abuse in a realistic way. Man beats up on lady, lady goes back, doodadeeda. If perhaps Rihanna wasn't whining in such a way that makes my skin crawl, or she didn't curl her lip in the video, maybe I could stomach it.

2. "Find Your Lovin'" Drake

Aubrey Graham, how could you? You were better off in the wheelchair as Jimmy on Degrassi. The song is boring and repetitive and I DON'T LIKE IT. Bring back Jimmy!

More to come, when the time comes.
