So, our good friend Mark, who makes sure “RealityWanted” stays afloat and in tip-top shape suggested I title each blog prior to writing my thoughts about this season’s show. My first idea: “The Weight is Over.” But, in the last half-hour of BL4’s season premiere I had to change it!
Are you kidding me? 31-pounds lost in one week! This 61-year-old grandfather has proven a fierce competitor making Biggest Loser history twice, in seven days. He is the oldest person to ever compete on the show AND lost the most weight of any contestant EVER in the first week. Rock on Jerry! Not only that, the supped-up senior was first to push his 297 pound body across the hot desert to reach Bob Harper (Blue Team Trainer and my personal hero!) and became captain of the Blue Team (more on that later). I’m not a betting girl, but if I were, my money right now would be on the Silver Fox taking home the cool $250,000 grand prize for a comfy, cozy retirement!
