A brisk walk is about 3.5 mph, I believe so that would take up to 4.5 hours. Max running speed I think is about 25 mph and the average about 15 mph (I'm assuming these numbers are for healthy,...

I think the crying is almost intentional to get more screen time. Even with the money, I think you have to be at least a little attention-seeking to be on a reality show. I think some people are...

I think the shows' attempts to increase the drama and excitement are actually making it less watchable for me. The moral dilemma makes me feel a little dirty from watching, but doesn't actually stop...

In some ways, I think we're already at Running Man. While I've watched Project Runway, Top Chef, and other contest shows including a couple episodes of Fear Factor, TBL is the only "life in a...

After reading more of Kai's blog about TBL during her season there, and watching the show more carefully, I'm more convinced that we can't believe that anything is remotely what it seems. It seems...

I think their rationale is that really fat people (over 1X or 2X) are the minority, and they aren't marketing to the minority. It's a financial decision not a philisophical one.

I was reading recently that skin elasticity is the biggest factor. Age plays some role (you lose skin elasticity as you age), but it's also genetic (as scgirl32 says the luck of the draw). I've...

The Paul and Kelly thing is a trainwreck. I imagine that the producers jumped at the chance to have an ex's team (maybe they were even specifially looking). Kelly had to know that Paul was going to...

Oh, and no tornados here in Wisconsin, but winter storms in some areas, and I think it might have been responsible for the "technical difficulties," with the NBC feed from Rhinelander. The picture...

I only got to see the weigh-in, so I didn't catch how the teams were picked, but did Bob really get to pick his entire team? No wonder they teams are so mismatched.

It's funny, because my husband...

I don't fault players for the "game playing." Whether their goal is primarily the money or the weight loss, I can definitely understand the temptation to throw a weigh-in if it seems likely to...

I have to say SoulBliss, that you and I have tangled on more than one occasion, and I hazzard to guess that we are both better for it (at least I can say I certainly am). I can truly say that your...
