i have a random-ass question.

i am a person who watches teevee, but i haven't ever watched the biggest loser; i'm not usually very interested by reality shows. but! the hoptoad and i became very very curious at the teaser ads for the most recent episode about someone "gaining 17 lbs...on PURPOSE!" and how this affected the other cast members. having never watched the show, we don't get how that would be to anybody's advantage. do you feel like explaining, or should i just go read the television without pity recap and try to figure it out that way?

so what happened was - the show started with red black and blue teams. two weeks ago they mixed up the remaining people so all the teams had a mixture of the original teams. one guy waterlogged himself before weigh in (by drinking TWO GALLONS OF WATER) so that his team would lose the weigh in. whatever team loses the weigh in would have one member voted out by everyone. so the red and blue teams created an alliance, the guy gained enough water weight so his team would lose and the alliance voted out one of the black team members on the losing team.

now it's all crazy and folks have gone from trying to lose weight at the weigh in - to intentionally waterlogging and trying to sabotage their teams in order to put people at risk.

messy messy messy.
