Big Brother boy. We’re gonna talk spoilers here, so if you don’t want to know what happened yesterday at the Vedo C Vido ceremony. I would fast forward or mute or whatever, but yesterday at the veto ceremony, you almost have to rewind to before the veto ceremony, because ever since Saturday, as you know, in yesterday’s podcast, I said Lauren won the Power of Veto.
And in yesterday’s podcast, I said, based on everything I’ve read, she’s leaning towards not using it. You know why I said that yesterday? Because that came directly outta Lauren’s mouth on the live feeds. She kept telling people, I don’t really think I’m gonna use it, but if I do, I’m gonna use it on Vince.
I’m not using it on Morgan and I’m not using it on Mickey. And basically all day, Sunday and Monday, people were going to her, Morgan and Mickey were trying to get her to use it. You need to use it. You have to use it. Even though they weren’t, I mean, obviously they would’ve liked her to use it on them, but she was never going that route.
She was either using it on events or she wasn’t gonna use it at all. And she had said numerous times, I’m leaning towards not using it. Well, she got convinced by somebody yesterday afternoon beforehand. She had talks with everybody, with Keanu, with Rachel, and Rachel said to her, look, it’s your power of veto.
You could do with it what you want, but basically if you choose to use it, it’s gonna be really hard to work with you and it’s gonna be really hard to trust you and. Rachel did say, if you are going to use it, please give me a heads up because right now, I don’t know if you choose to use it right now, I don’t know who I’m going to use it on the Reno.
Now, Rachel could have been saying that for gameplay. She might have just been saying that to, I don’t know, maybe intimidate Lauren, but when Lauren was the HOH. Wait, was Lauren HOH or she in Powerview? She won one of the two. The one thing we know about Lauren, if you’ve been following on the live feeds, she absolutely is the most indecisive person in the house.
She’s influenced by everybody. She seems like a very much a people pleaser and she doesn’t wanna upset people, but in this game of Big Brother, you’re going to upset people with decisions that you make. The problem with Lauren is she can’t seem to make a decision and can’t seem to stick with it, and is easily swayed.
She was telling people, she literally, I did read a quote, which was directly from the live feeds. At some point over the weekend she said, I don’t think I’m using it. And then within hours she’s like, I think I’m going to use it. And it was just based off of a new conversation she had with somebody. So eventually she told Rachel with about an hour before the veto ceremony, I’m sorry Rachel, I’m gonna use it.
And that’s when Rachel shot back to her and said, I, I, you know, I don’t know if I can trust you because. If we wanna work together, I’m telling you, you shouldn’t use, even though it’s your power of veto, you can do whatever you want. It’s your power of veto. But if you do use it, it’s gonna be really hard to trust you and really hard to work with you.
And the exact quote was. I think that’s a big mistake and I don’t feel like I’m gonna be able to work with you. Veto ceremony happens. Lauren uses it, takes Vince off the block and Rachel puts up Riley, which we already know. Riley’s temper in this house. And how do you think that sat with Riley? All he is done since then is drop a bunch of MF bombs and F-bombs and I basically, he’s coming after Rachel and Rachel just feels like, look, I don’t have anybody here.
And Rachel knows that if Will or Ava don’t win HOH this week 1000 per, or Ashley 1000%. Anybody else winning It is putting up Rachel. Riley, Kat, Morgan, Mickey, any of them win? I don’t, you know, Keanu probably wouldn’t put Rachel up, so Rachel does have a chance, but there’s more people that could win the HOH and put her up than people that could win the HOH and not put her up.
But Rachel basically said, I’m here to make big moves and Keanu. I talked to Rachel after the veto ceremony in the storage room, and it’s like, what are you doing? Yeah, I don’t even even know. She didn’t tell anybody. And she basically said, you know, in regards to Lauren, Lauren fucked around and found out.
I told her I did not know what I was gonna do, but if she did that, it’d gonna be hard to work with her and fuck around and find out. And that’s exactly what Lauren did. By taking Vince off and Rachel put Riley up. Now if Riley goes home, or excuse me, if Riley wins BB blockbuster, Rachel gets away ’cause Morgan or Mickey is going home.
If Morgan or Mickey wins blockbuster, I mean, put it this way, any one of those three people going home is a successful HOH for Rachel. She wanted to get one of them out. Seemingly, I thought I heard her say and read her say that she really, really wants to get Riley out. That’s why she wasn’t telling anybody.
Remember in yesterday’s podcast I was saying Lauren was telling people, Rachel will not tell me who a Remo Reno is. She’s keeping it close to the vest and constantly keeps saying, I don’t know what I’m gonna do. If you were to use it, I don’t know. I think Rachel probably knew from the get go, if Lauren uses this, I’m putting Riley up, but she didn’t want it out there until it happened, and I’m sure at the veto ceremony she had a moment and probably had a good TV moment putting Riley up.
But now that we’re looking at this and now that we’re looking at it from afar, seems like Riley is her target. Because I thought I read something where Rachel said after the veto ceremony, ideally she would love to see Morgan win. The BB blockbuster because she thinks Mickey has the votes over Riley, which I, we have this whole thing going on with Riley.
Remember when Jimmy got evicted and Jimmy started talking on social media? He thought America loved Riley. Everybody in the, because somebody asked him, what do you guys in the house think of Riley? He was saying, all of us in the house are talking about how America’s gonna love Riley. And I guess if you watch CBS, you might just love Riley, but 90% of the people online hate him for the way he talks and treats Katherine.
So this is going to be a fascinating Thursday night eviction. Obviously, we can’t predict yet because we don’t know who’s gonna win BB Blockbuster, but holy crap, tomorrow’s episode is gonna be good because we’re gonna see. The veto competition with Lauren win. Her going back and forth telling people I’m not gonna use it, and then saying she is gonna use it.
Her telling Rachel with one hour to spare, which pisses, pisses Rachel off, even though I think in the back of her head, Rachel knew who she was she was putting up. And then we’re gonna see Rachel at the veto ceremony. Nominate Riley. And then we’re gonna see Riley drop a bunch of MF bombs and be pissed at Rachel for putting him up.
Trust me, I would love to see Riley go home. I think most people would. Whether that happens we don’t know. Got a 33% chance of going home. Right. And finally, I wanted to end with this, saw a documentary over the weekend on Netflix called Fit for tv, the Reality of The Biggest Loser. Yes. It was a documentary on the television show, the Biggest Loser, which hasn’t been on the air, but I believe since 2016.
What’s interesting about this show is. I watched it, I would usually just tune in for a few episodes every season and then usually tune in for the finale. ’cause I wanted to see the end results of everybody who was on this show. And it wasn’t until after the show was done airing when I started, I dunno, one day I was Googling something or something came up with the Biggest Loser and I was reading an article and I saw that the executive producer one was JD Roth who.
Which game show did he do on Nickelodeon back in the day? Oh, he did that Fun house show. I remember that. I was always watching that as a kid Fun house. But the other EP on the show is a guy named Dave Broom, and I was like, wait, Dave Broom. I worked with a Dave Broom in the early two thousands Sports talk radio station in Los Angeles.
He and his friends. Had a weekend show, it was a Saturday show, and I, you know, it was so long ago. I just remember being there for a lot of his shows. I don’t know if I was the engineer, if I produced his show or if I was there because I was working on the show after him. I don’t remember, but I kind of know Dave and it ended up being, yeah, the Dave Broom that had a sports talk show on Fox Sports AM 1150 in the early two thousands is the Dave Broom that I know.
And then he went on to do Biggest Loser as the ep. I was like, wow, did not know that. And he’s all over the documentary. ’cause obviously this was his creation. It was his idea. Him and JD Roth I think. But I think it was Dave’s idea. And obviously if you watched this documentary over the weekend, you know it definitely talks about the negativity surrounding the biggest loser.
And was this the proper way for people to lose weight? Was this the proper way for extremely overweight people to drop weight so quickly to eat? 800 to 1600 calories a day, but burned 6,000 to 8,000. The answer is no. That’s not a healthy way to lose weight. But if you’re going to take that strategy, of course you’re gonna lose weight.
If you’re 400, 500 pounds and then you constrict your diet to no more than 1500 calories a day, but then you’re working out 6, 7, 8 hours a day. On that ranch that they had on the biggest loser and burning six to 8,000 calories, of course you’re gonna lose weight. The problem is, once the show was over, if you didn’t keep up that type of workout, and who would go home and be like, yeah, I’m still gonna work out six to eight hours a day, you had no choice at the ranch because it was a television show and they made you do it.
Nobody has the discipline to then go home and work out six to eight hours a day. Some of them did it for a while to just keep the weight off, so then they showed up for the finale so they could win. But you saw everybody on that show, everybody that they brought back for this documentary, every former contestant, whether they were winners, whether they finished in second place, whether they finished in 10th place or seventh place, whatever it means.
Every single one of those people, I don’t say went back to their pre-show weight, but every single one of ’em was not the weight that they were when they finished that show. Some of ’em are. I one of the guys that won, I guess the guy that won season seven, I’m forgetting his name. He’s heavier now than he was before he started the show, and he has just been crash dieting his whole life.
He said, I’ve probably lost a hundred. I, he goes, I’ve probably lost a thousand pounds in my life. I, overall, I lose it. I put it back on, I lose it, I put it back on. But he ended up losing like 200 and. Some ridiculous amount of weight. He lost like 240 pounds when he won season seven or season eight, whatever season he won.
But now he’s just back to being as big and it just, you know, it’s a really good documentary. ’cause it talks about, first off, they could never do this show. Now there’s no way. Because this show probably was at a time, well it was airing and filming at a time when. Society was different and you watch it back.
Now you’re just like, I cannot believe we watched this as a society. While it was inspirational because we were seeing these very overweight people losing a lot of weight, gaining confidence in themselves, looking better, hitting their goals, the problem was they were doing it in a way that they shouldn’t have been doing it, which is.
This extreme of, you know, because it’s a television show, Hey, we need you guys to lose weight, so we’re gonna have you work out 6, 7, 8 hours a day. That’s unrealistic because when these people go back to their real lives, I’m assuming most of ’em have jobs. You can’t just go to the gym. You have a job from eight to five or whatever, nine to five.
How are you gonna work out for six or seven or eight hours a day like they were on that ranch? It just wasn’t sustainable, and that’s why all those people have. Put back on weight and they realize now, like, yeah, I did it for the television aspect of it, but I realized I wasn’t happy. Like, I was happy to lose that weight and I felt, and I looked better, but it wasn’t sustainable and this is the real me.
And yeah, it’s, it’s very interesting that show Jillian Michaels chose not to be a part of it. Not surprising, considering where she’s gone with her career. Bob Harper was all over it, but. An interesting documentary to say the least. It’s on Netflix. It’s called Fit for tv. The Reality of The Biggest Loser.
I’d check it out if I were you because I think people are gonna have a lot of feelings about this one way or another. I don’t think anyone’s gonna come out of it saying, yes, that show was successful and I loved what they did, and I loved how they treated the contestants. Nobody is, but I was surprised even to hear Dave, and I’m not gonna say Dave’s a friend of mine.
I haven’t spoken to Dave in 22 years. I was surprised that he took some of the stances that he did about the show. He admitted fault in the show. I’m glad he d took acceptance for that. But there were other things that he said. I was like I don’t know if that’s the right answer, Dave. Well, you answer that way, but yeah, it was just crazy to you know, see a guy that you worked with for probably about a year.
I can’t even remember the name of the show. It was him and his buddies. It was just guys that he grew up with on the East coast and they were in la. And they had an, and they had a Saturday morning show or s, maybe it was mid-morning, like 10 to noon. Why can I not remember Dave Broom’s sports show? I should Google this.
Hang on. Yeah, I’m Googling it. There is just nothing on this. It was so long ago and it was only, I can’t remember how many years they did that show. Maybe one or two. And it was a weekend show. It’s not like they had a show five days a week on, on, on, on a sports station. I’m just Googling Dave Broom’s sports show on Fox Sports AM 1150 and I’m just getting nothing.
So, anyway, and like I said, I can’t remember what my role was. I just remember being there so many times and seeing Dave on Saturday mornings. Really nice guy. Really cool guy. And this is before anything happened with me in the reality TV world. I was wanting to be in the sports world. I didn’t even know that Dave was on the television side of things.
I think he was working for Fox Sports or the, I don’t know. But anyway, go check out this show FIT for tv. Or the reality behind The Biggest Loser. It’s on Netflix and it’s only three episodes long in each episode. They’re not even 50 minutes. It’s like 45 to 50 minutes for each episode. So go check it out.
Anyway, thank you all for listening. Really appreciate it. Follow me on Apple Podcast. Also rate and review, but you gotta hit play. It’s the only way it counts as a download. Sports Daily coming up in an hour from now, so go check that out. Again, thank you all for listening. Really appreciate it. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
