    Cat let out of the bag

    02feb06

    NETWORK 10 has taken the big stick to one of the Victorian contestants on its new show, Australia's Biggest Loser.

    The show doesn't even go to air until Monday week, and one loser has already been blabbing to former workmates.
    Catherine White went on the show with the aim of losing 88kg so she could get married and avoid fat wedding photos.

    Without giving too much away and spoiling things for viewers, we can say she doesn't make the final round, and those wedding bells are still many, many kilos away.

    But "Cat", as she's known by former workmates at Bunnings, Keysborough, has been visiting her old pals and letting the cat out of the bag, in detail.

    Which has upset the powers that be at Ten.

    "They shouldn't be revealing any of that," Ten spokeswoman Stephanie Bansemer-Brown said.

    "Obviously we don't want that out there because that ruins the show for viewers."

    We asked Ten if Cat would be spoken to, and that's when things really became serious.

    Cat can expect a fairly angry phone call today, if she didn't get it yesterday.

    The network executive on the other end of the phone will be reminding Cat that she signed a contract.

    "There is a line in the contracts they all sign demanding strict confidentiality until after the program has been to air," Bansemer-Brown told us.

    Not only that, there's normally a penalty clause as well, which, when you strip all the legalese away, says "you spill your guts, you not get a brass razoo".


  • Ouch!
  • Serves them right for not choosing me in the first place.

    Ooo bitter or what!!

    You know I read an article on the weekend where two of the contestants told a reporter that the producers chose their goal outfits for them.

    Tracy apparently wanted a nice dress but was told she had to have a bikini and one of the guys wanted a pair of jeans and was told he had to have a pair of undies.

    Bet they're not happy that's getting out either.

    LOL - must have been wishful thinking

    I can't believe it is going to be 4 months of TBL! Can't wait
  • Being an Aussie. I am looking forward to watching the show actually.. should be good. I wish all of them well in their journey to lose weight.. shocker about telling everyone details before it airs though!
  • I love BL, it seems so motivational, it they can do it on public tv! rolls and all! anyone can!
    although i am now at my goal, i look forward to it! it reminds me to stick with it so i never become "morbidly obese" again.
    I will be one sitting glued to it! and i am so happy it is daily, not just once a week!!!!!!!
    BRING IT ON!
    LOL
  • Of course it starts the first night I go back to school. I've got dh ready to tape 2 stations at once, on two machines. I may get some time to watch my tv shows. Pity I cant throw a video in the treadmill at the gym.
  • SOOO excited! I went out and bought a digital set top box with 120Gb HDD just so that i could tape all the epps of TBL to dvd standard! Now its JUST a matter of figuring out how to convert and edit the .rec files into handy DVD format.... Lets just say that you need an IT degree to do this!!! Im nearly there however. I've demuxed them now i just need to edit and burn them.
    I WILL FIGURE IT OUT!
  • Done
    Well its figured!
    Excellent! I have worked out how to convert the .rec files into watchable dvds (using an epp of southpark as a test)
    Is it Feb 13 yet....
  • I know a lot of Americans who would love you if you put the files on the Net.
  • could happen
    I don't know how to put things on the net...but im sure with a little assitance i could figure that out too!
  • its Feb 13th! You know what that means . . . . .
