The Biggest Loser

Okay...so here is my claim to fame! Tomorrow night is the season premiere of The Biggest Loser. This is my cousin Blaine who I expect all of my blogging buddies to be rooting for. I'm so excited to see Blaine along with Dane (his partner) on TV achieving their goals...and to see the footage of my beautiful cousin Jennie (Blaine's wife) having her moment in front of the camera when she gives birth to their 4th baby while he's away on the show! Jennie wins the wife of the year award for sure!
Blaine's Bio: (nbc.com)
Blaine is a very big guy who not so long ago was thin and healthy. He is a perfect example of a lovable, friendly, loud and happy fat guy. He is a former athlete who always has to win. Blaine has a sense of humor, which, coupled with his demeanor, makes just about everyone he comes in contact with comfortable; he is the life of any party. Blaine has a beautiful family who love and support him. The health problems that Blaine has (diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol) can all be reduced or eliminated by losing weight. He has to do this for not only himself, but also for his wife and three children, as well as for his fourth child who is on the way! Six lives, not just one, will be changed forever.
Blaine and Dane are very close cousins and friends who love laughing and making fun of each other.
They enjoy living less than a mile down the street from one other and both have families of five, which gives them a big cheering section. At a combined weight of 755 pounds, they say their bodies are "pure relaxed muscle ready to be whipped into shape." Both Blaine and Dane have health conditions that they can overcome by losing weight and becoming healthy. They both also have smoking-hot wives who need to be humbled by no longer being the better-looking person in the relationship.
Go Team Black!!

Shay said...

That is so great for your cousin. We love that show...it is an emotional show, and always makes me cry.

Chelsea said...

That is so neat! I'll be watching.

Danelle said...

ROck On Challenge Winner! They said his wife had another month to go, so if he's still there when his wife gives birth...woohoo, that means he lasts at least a month. They didn't get too much air time...because they're too awesome to spend time in the elimination room. I don't know either one of them, but even without knowing you, I would have cheered for them. THey were inspirational. You've got an awesome cousin.

The Lymans said...

Teri said...
