    here's a question.
    when the men,about to step on the scales, remove their t-shirts.
    what for?
    a t-shirt wouldn't add even half a pound to their,what, 300-400 pounds.
    they want to give us a bit of a freak show,among the applause and the tears and the music and all that drama.

    Jillian... was so obnoxious and smugly hostile in the opener that I found myself practically rooting for one of the big-bellied contestants to squash her like a common household bug. [26 Oct 2004]
