The 5th week of Biggest Cock & Rudest Loser has drawn to a close. This is our last week competing at teams — next week we’ll break all of the teams apart and begin to play as individuals! So in the spirit of the upcoming Valentine’s day and as a final goodbye to your teammate, we asked each player how much they love their teammate. Here’s what they had to say…
GINGY & THE HAT Adam & Mr. Sombrero
Adam: My teammate is the bestest! As I started to slack off on my dieting over the last week or so, he picked up the slack and kept our % in a good place. I also love him because he’s cute and funny and nice and sweet and … oh wait, I’m supposed to talk about dieting. Mmmm Swedish Fish! Nom nom nom…
Mr. Sombrero:Ok, before I answer how much I amor my teammate, let me tell you that I have partaken in a Zumba class this week. By the end of the class I was sweating buckets and have since lost weight. And I loooooooooooooove my teammate, but everyone already knows that. I just wish he would stop stuffing his mouth with chocking hazards every week.
THE JAILHOUSE LAWYERS Polt & Jere
Polt: How much do I love my teammate? More than Mama Polt’s Homemade Apple Pie! See, my weight loss this time around is no less stellar than my weight loss during the FIRST contest. So the only reason our team is still even IN this thing now is all because of Jere. I don’t know how much he’s lost, but however much it is, it’s enough to make up for my lackluster performance. I suppose when you’re going to law school and involved in as many activities as Jere is, there’s not a whole lot of free time left for the lower priority things…like sleeping or eating. Jere, I know your part in this game is a difficult one, cause you’re having to carry me along on you back! But keep up the good work, man!
Jere:This year, it’s always November in Jere’s Palace. That’s because Polt is my favorite member of the gang who has never texted me a picture of a penis. Every interaction with Polt is a little ray of sunshine into my life. He brings good energy. It’s just too bad he’s such a selfish lover and a greedy power bottom.
Paul: I love FDot so much because he is the one that came up with our team name. There are other reasons, but no one wants to hear that.
Fdot:How can anyone not love Paul? His lineage can be traced back (supposedly) to a sinlge man from the Bronx. His last name means “Parish Court”, no doubt a testament to his religious zealotry. Ever since this contest began, not a night has passed where I have not dreamed of Paul, riding a rainbow-hued Pegasus through a field of gently waving clover, stopping by a burning barn to rescue an orphan, a puppy and a panic-stricken ferret, then whirling around to fend off an attack of mildly agitated carny workers. By day, I sit and stare at my phone, waiting for the call that will allow me to hear the dulcet tones of his voice, tones that could cause coal to spontaneously combust into a diamond. Of course I love Paul as my teammate; I reap all the benefits while everyone else seethes with jealously at their inability to share in this deep, personal, cable modem based connection we two have.
Mush:It’s that time again: The Curse™ is due any second. For this reason, I’m bitchy and crampy and pissed off, and I’ve been starving for days. I went over my daily caloric goals three times in the past week, but that’s not the worst part. The worst part is that, due to my gender and the afflictions thereof, my awesome, wonderful, groovy, fantastic partner – with whom I’ve been in first place, what, three times? – has to pay the price! Ryan has been losing steadily during this entire contest. He’s serious about BC&RL2, and so am I, and I honestly think we can win. It’s just that he got stuck with a girl for a partner who bloats up like a corpse every four weeks and I stayed within my weekly goal and should have lost a pound or two but instead I gained water weight and we’ll probably be in last place and get voted off and it’s not his fault and I’ll lose it all by next week’s weigh-in and I could weep with the injustice of it all! No! I’m not fucking emotional! WHY DO YOU ASK!!? A little advice: don’t bake bread when you’re on a diet and PMSing, because you will freakin’ eat the entire loaf, and then you’ll want to eat worse things. Like pizza and Mexican food. Delicious homemade bread is the gateway food to entire worlds of fat and starch. Just don’t do it. Srsly.
Ryan: I’m so glad that I got partnered up with Mush. I didn’t know her that well before this competition, but I loved getting to know her over the past few weeks. She’s the one who introduced me to the tools to track what I eat and my exercise that have helped me to make sure that I burn more calories than I eat. She has also been superbly supportive. Of course, I also love that she’s done an amazing job at losing weight over the past few weeks. Yay, Mush!
TYLER-EXIA & BULI-MIKEY Mikey & Ty
Mikey: How much do I love my teammate? Let me count the ways….well I don’t wanna get too cheesy on the blog. I did that last week already. Let’s just say I love him a lot more than the weight I have lost and I love him a lot more than my total weight. That’s probably the best way to quantify it. I would even say that his weight plus my weight would not be the right number. Ugh…math is hard. I’m going to bed.
Ty: I am currently in my secret undisclosed location preparing for a HUGE project that will be revealed soon. Fortunately, there’s WiFi, so I can duly report my complete lack of progress over the last week, despite the fact that I’ve actually been working out. But in light of this week’s theme, I should add that I’m not at all upset because it just means that I got to have SOOO much fun with my teammate, eating, drinking and being merry. That’s how much I love him: I’d gladly risk love handles if it means I get to enjoy more time with him. Sure, we could probably find ways to be just as happy with celery and tofu as with chocolate love butter and body shots, but is that really the world we want to live in?
How did our teams do in the first week? It’s time to find out! We’ve added the total percentages for each team. Here are the results:
And now it’s time to eliminate a team! Here’s how it works: just like American Idol, you vote for the team that you want to save. The team with the least votes will be eliminated. Polls close around Noon (EST) on Saturday.
Which will be the last team eliminated? Place your wagers in the comments!
And look for the next elimination results on Sunday!
The 4th week of Biggest Cock & Rudest Loser has drawn to a close. We started the contest with 18 contestants, and now we’re down to 12. Congratulations to everyone who has made it this far! This week we asked each of our contestants about their exercise habits. Here’s what they had to say:
John: I can’t believe we are at week five already. January was such a blur for me. I didn’t work out as much as I would have liked to, but I have gotten into a routine. The plan was to get up early and ride my stationary bike for 20 minutes before work and do the same when I get home at night. I also planned to do push-ups and squats in the evening three times per week. I haven’t followed this plan as closely as I would have liked, but am averaging working out 3-4 days per week.
Mel: I have to say that I haven’t been doing as much exercise as I would like during this competition. I’m still having some lingering effects from running injuries last fall, plus the past month has been a busy one at work, which is where I get in most of my workout time during the winter months. I do still try to do some brisk walking on the treadmill at work when I have a chance, though. Otherwise, my photo should give you a clue as to the other main aerobic activity I’ve been engaging in this month. Since I live an hour away from work in good weather, I stayed with friends closer to work for this latest storm. As emergency personnel, I don’t get the luxury of a snow day, so I’ll be digging out of this one, as well. I just won’t have to drive quite as far.
GINGY & THE HAT Adam & Mr. Sombrero
Mr. Sombrero: Mr Sombrero hates snow and winter in general. But this week, Madre Nature gave me plenty of opportunities for exercising. I was shoveling snow on three occasions, scraping ice off my car on two occasions and walking on ice pretty much every day. Who cares about not going to the gym.
Adam: I don’t really work out, but I try to be as active as possible. At work, I always park my car in the farthest parking spot from the building. I always take the stairs. Sometimes I help my landlord shovel the snow. But that’s about it. Maybe I’ll join a gym… or maybe I’ll just lay on the couch and watch American Idol.
Jere: Well, I already had a pretty good exercise program prior to the contest, but it got all screwed up with the holiday and travel and stuff. So I’m mostly trying to get back into my routine. And starting this week I’ll be in weekly dance rehearsals for our school musical.
Polt: My exercising routine is more of a not-exercising routine. I try to walk a little bit each day. And that’s pretty much it. And when it comes to exercise, I try to follow the following: Something is better than nothing, more is better than less. In other words, a walk around the block is better than sitting on my fat ass on the couch, and two trips around the block are better than one. It may not sound like much, and it in fact is NOT much, but…something is better than nothing!
Paul: I have not been working out, while I know I need to I am not a fan of just working out for the sake of working out, I am more likely to enjoy physical activity that has a purpose. This past weekend I went into the basement and put together a whole bunch of stuff that was donated to some charity that work had put together. I also have many projects that need to be done around the house that will involve a lot of ladder climbing and lifting, now if Old Man Winter would stop making everyone his bitch I can get the ladder out of the garage and get started.
FDot: I’m sort of coming to the end of that stage where you can just lose weight while eating less and watching more TV. It does appear that, to continue losing weight, I will have to engage in some sort of exercise routine. So I’ve raided my mother’s back catalogue of VHS tapes. ABS of steel? Nah, already have those when I’m dreaming. Jane Fonda? Hanoi Jane isn’t teaching me anything. Finally, I managed to find the perfect fit for me. Now I can lose more weight with the added side effect of becoming abnormally perky. I’ll be all sunshine and lollipops in a week!
Mush: I ride my bike for transportation; I probably clock around six miles a week (it’s a small town). I was doing the 100 Pushups program but I blew it off. Actually, now that I think about it, since I got this stupid cold I haven’t really been thinking about exercise at all. I’ve never been the type to exercise; I’d rather drink vodka and watch old episodes of Star Trek.
Ryan: I was doing yoga in the mornings semi-regularly at the beginning, but lately I’ve found it hard to get out of bed in time to do it before work. However, I have been doing a lot of walking. I walk to work every day and have started taking longer walks on the weekends.
TYLER-EXIA & BULI-MIKEY Mikey & Ty
Mikey: I don’t like exercise. But the feeling is mutual. Whenever I do strenuous non-pleasurable activities I break out in hives. Well not really, but I do have asthma attacks that sound really really lethal. I have however found that the icy sidewalks in NYC have made me far more likely to do a triple lutz by accident and as we know, ice skating is a sport. So I’m counting that.
Ty: I’ve been saying since Week 1 that exercise will be my ticket to victory. But I haven’t actually done any. This is inexcusable. There’s a small, but functional gym in the basement of my building, thus refuting any claim that the gym is too far/expensive/intimidating. I sleep better and have more energy when I work out. Most importantly, exercise (especially some good cardio) frees up calories to spend on my two favorite pastimes, eating and drinking. So will I break the bonds of inertia and get off my butt this week? (Hint: Probably not.) But tune in next week anyway!
How did our teams do in the first week? It’s time to find out! We’ve added the total percentages for each team. Here are the results:
And now it’s time to eliminate a team! Here’s how it works: just like American Idol, you vote for the team that you want to save. The team with the least votes will be eliminated. Polls close around Noon (EST) on Saturday.
Talk it out in the comments. It’ll make you feel better.
And look for the 4th elimination results on Sunday!
The third week of Biggest Cock & Rudest Loser has drawn to a close. This week we asked each of our contestants how their eating habits have changed since the beginning of the contest. Here’s what they had to say:
John: I went back to a system of eating that has worked for me in the past, eating every two hours whether I am hungry or not. This doesn’t mean eating a full meal, but grazing. I’ve increased my fruit and veggie intake and have murdered lots of apples, bananas, string beans and peppers. I’ve also increased my fiber and water intake. I swear I spend half my day in the litter box peeing because I have been drinking so much water. So far, I’ve been pretty successful, but this week, I’ve learned that if I buy cookies, I eat them. As a result, I’m only down [censored] a pound for a total of down [censored]%.
Mel: I think I must be retaining water or something, because my weight actually went up a bit this week, even though I was assiduous at recording everything I ate and even exercised when I had the chance. Either that or the extreme drop in temperatures we’ve seen this past week threw my body into hibernation mode. Either way, I’m pretty sure it’s a blip in the road, because I have no intention of slacking off. You asked about how this competition has affected my eating habits, and since I basically just went back to recording everything the way I had for the previous year and prior to the holidays, my answer is very little. I’ve been an ovo-lacto vegetarian for 16 years and I generally try to make sensible choices when I eat. What I have found, though, is that it’s easy for my overall caloric intake to get away from me if I don’t keep track of it, so food journaling and tracking calories is really the only way that works for me to keep my weight from getting away from me. Aside from that, I don’t think it’s a good idea to diet in deprivation mode. Then you just feel like you’re missing out, which makes you more likely to break the diet. I have a bit of chocolate, or cheese, or even butter, but I make sure that it’s accounted for and try to keep myself aware of the choices I’m making.
Craig: Well I haven’t resorted to a diet of tofu and mineral water just yet, but Enrico likes to send me yelly texts every time I even look at food (I think he’s stalking me) so I’ve been working on creating some better eating habits. I don’t eat anything after 9PM. (It really should be 8PM, but I get home late, so 9PM it is.) I’ve also been lowering my portion sizes at meals (if I told my Mom I wasn’t eating the dinner she cooked me I’d most likely get a shoe to the head, possibly while she was still wearing it) and cutting out (most, I’m only human!) snacks and alcohol. (I love parentheses!)
Enrico has decided to quit the competition.
Mr. Sombrero opts for a mostly liquid diet!
GINGY & THE HAT Adam & Mr. Sombrero
Mr. Sombrero: Since I got over the flu, I’ve starting eating solid foods again, so I actually gained a bit. And that helped me realize the secret to permanent weight loss: liquid foods!!!, which translates into: Breakfast: Soup, Lunch: Soup, Dinner: Soup, Repeat! So today, guess what I had for lunch. (Hint: see pic).
Adam: I’ve done my best to control my portion sizes and to eliminate nearly all the junk food that I used to eat on a daily basis. No more chips, cookies, soft pretzels, crackers slathered in peanut butter, etc. When I’m not stuffing my face with pretzels, I now opt for healthier alternative like apples, oranges, bananas, grapes and raisins.
Jere: My eating habits have not changed much. I pay a little bit more attention to portions (like this morning, I had 2 eggs with breakfast instead of 3). I also try to plan ahead for healthy snacks/light meals throughout the day.
Polt: I’ve already mentioned the changes in my eating habits, but I’ll do it again now that it’s this week’s theme. I’ve cut way back on the thing I splurge on the most: Pepsi. I’m back to one can a day (except when I’m watching football, but I’ve only got one more game of that left…GO PACKERS!). I drink a lot of water in it’s place. I’ve cut back on the eating after 8:00 pm. And I’m eating smaller portions. I still have Mexican food, steak and fries, pasta, but I eat less of them all at one time. And then the next night, I have the leftovers. And for snacks, I’m gorging on celery, apples, oranges that kinda stuff.
Paul: My eating habits have changed drastically. Calorie counting is not so much important to me as how food will affect my blood sugar levels. I have packed food for me to eat every day I go to work and have been cooking dinner for myself every night instead of getting something. Since pasta sends my blood sugar sky-high I have pretty much eliminated it from my diet along with white bread, cheese, mayonnaise, and of course sweets. I have also avoided the almost weekly tradition of having a cake at the office for some reason or another.
FDot: All dieting and no chocolate makes FDot a dull boy. All Dieting and no Chocolate makes FDot a dull boy. All dieting and “no chocolate” makes FDot a dull boy. All dieting and no chocolate makes FDot a dull boy. All [dieting] and no chocolate (makes FDot) a dull boy. All dieting and no chocolate; makes Fdot a dull boy. All diet, ing and no choco(late) makes FDot: a dull boy. All dieting and no chocolate makes FDot a dull boy. All dieting and no chocolate makes FDot a dull boy. All dieting….and no cocolate….makes FDot a dull boy. All Dieting and. No chocolate makes. FDot a dull boy. All dieting and no choco
Mush: I have a better understanding of portion size. It is that the appropriate amount of any food is slightly less than half as much as you want.
Ryan: The biggest change in my eating habits has been that I measure everything. When eating at home, anything that doesn’t come in single serving units passes through a measuring cup or the kitchen scale. This has encouraged me to bring lunch to work because figuring out the nutritional value of cafeteria meal is hard. Other changes include no more honey in my oatmeal (raisins are sweet enough), no more automatically getting a side of fries, and buying and actually eating fruits and vegetables.
TYLER-EXIA & BULI-MIKEY Mikey & Ty
Mikey: I have taken a two pronged approach to changing my eating habits: cook at home and less fat. It seems to be working. By focusing on preparing (or having Ty prepare for me) healthier meals with lower fat contents I have been losing weight. I also could be losing weight by trudging through the snow that seems to come EVERY DAY now. I just need to get that real exercise thing really going…
Ty: Greetings from Plateau-ville. As I mentioned at the beginning of this thing, my plan as far as diet was concerned was to just watch what I ate more closely. I’ve continued to do reasonably well on that front, choosing lighter options, leaving out the bag of chips at lunch, keeping portion size in check, etc. But as I also mentioned, the resulting weight loss is not likely to happen fast enough to compete with serious dieting, which I refuse to do. So I guess maybe in addition to watching what I eat, I need to start watching…gulp…what I DRINK.
How did our teams do in the first week? It’s time to find out! We’ve added the total percentages for each team. For CRAIGGO, we’ve doubled Craig’s percentage. Here are the results:
And now it’s time to eliminate a team! Here’s how it works: just like American Idol, you vote for the team that you want to save. The team with the least votes will be eliminated. Polls close around Noon (EST) on Saturday.
Please feel free to plead your case, campaign, laugh, cry, beg, solicit, or sound off in the comments. And look for the third elimination results on Sunday!
Today is the day that we say farewell to our second eliminated Biggest Cock & Rudest Loser 2 team. Earlier today we revealed that Encraigo is safe from elimination. That leaves two teams to face elimination today:
Team Oink, which is made up of Michelle and Harry.
Tyler-Exia & Buli-Mikey, which is made up of Ty and Mikey.
But before we reveal the eliminated team, here’s a farewell video that Josh of JoshIsTrashy has picked out! The goodbye song is… Miss You by Aaliyah! “SO SAD!”
And now, the second eliminated of Biggest Cock & Rudest Loser 2 is…
TEAM OINK!
Goodbye Michelle and Harry!
We contacted Team Oink, and they offered these parting words:
What happened to our perfect team? Well, being kicked off (even though we are losing weight, eating right and exercising almost daily – WHATEVER.) only makes us more determined to reach our goal. So we’ve decided to change our name from Team Swine to Team Swan. We’re going to throw up every meal and DANCE!! until our toenails fall off. We just want to be PERFECT. *sob*
That means that Tyler-Exia & Buli-Mikey is safe for another week!
Don’t be too sad, Michelle and Harry — you still have a chance to win. This year we’ll be awarding our Rudest Loser prize to the eliminated player that loses the most weight. Keep working hard to drop some pounds, and we’ll check back in with you on April 7th!
Today is the day that we say farewell to our second eliminated Biggest Cock & Rudest Loser 2 team. Almost everyone lost some weight this week, but three teams did not do as well as the rest. And like every Sunday until the end of the contest, players must be eliminated. The three teams who lost the least weight and are on the chopping block this week are:
Team Oink, which is made up of Michelle and Harry.
Tyler-Exia & Buli-Mikey, which is made up of Ty and Mikey.
Encraigo, which is made up of Enrico and Craig.
But before we reveal the first safe team of the week, here’s a song for you to enjoy that Josh of JoshIsTrashy has have picked out! Josh picked out Avril Lavigne’s Hot, “since that’s what all y’all are going to look like after this competition.”
Wasn’t that great? And now … without further ado, the first team that’s safe from elimination this week is…
ENCRAIGO!
Congratulations, this means that you’re still in the competition!
That means that either Team Oink or Tyler-Exia & Buli-Mikey will be eliminated this week.
Which team will we say goodbye to? You’ll have to wait until Noon for the results!
The second week of Biggest Cock & Rudest Loser 2 has drawn to a close. Last week we said goodbye to Canadian Bacon; who will we say goodbye to this week? This week we asked each of our contestants to show us and describe the inside of their refrigerators. Here’s what they had to say:
Mel: Since I have to work and won’t be home in time to send a pic of my fridge, I’m sending one of the freezer where we store deceased patients at work. Unfortunately, I’ve been doing this so long that it does nothing to kill my appetite. Fortunately, the week overall has been a good one. My rate of weight loss has slacked a bit, as was expected, but is in a healthy range. I’m in the process of breaking in new custom orthotics and hope to get back to my running training soon. A friend is trying to get me to register for a marathon in July – not sure I’ll be up for that, but I at least want to do another half marathon or two in 2011 (did two this past fall). I’ve been consistently meeting my nutritional goals, eating fewer calories, and not feeling at all deprived or hungry.
John: Food still abounds, but I’ve still managed to make good choices and got some time in to exercise. Riding my bike and doing some push-ups. I hate push-ups, but I hope to be “pec-tacular” when this is done or at the very least, to drop a cup size. I’m down [censored]% this week. As for my (real) fridge, yogurt, bread, rolls, turkey, light mayo, skim milk, grape jam, Swiss cheese and Sprite Zero. Michelle M. will hate at least half of what is in there.
Enrico: This week was hard for me. I would find myself at Mexican restaurants, eating burritos with extra sour cream, completely forgetting about the weight loss challenge! But I did curb my eating habits somewhat… after all, I only ate 45 cookies one night, rather than the usual 60. Either way, this doesn’t really say anything about what’s in my fridge this week, since I hide all the good stuff from my roommates and keep it in my bedroom. But this is what my fridge looks like anyway. MMM.
Craig:Wow. My refrigerator looks ridiculously unhealthy. Look at that giant bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups! And donuts! And mayonnaise! And beer and wine and homemade Bailey’s Irish Cream (that’s that’s in the brown jug up top)! Oh but wait! Not all hope is lost! We drink skim milk! Yay! We’re so healthy!
Adam: Visitors to my apartment are usually surprised by how bare my fridge is. I hate to waste food, so I usually only buy as much as I need for the next few days. Since I cut out the junk food, a significant portion of my (vegan) diet is made up of fruits and vegetables, so I usually have a good stock of apples and oranges on hand. I also have onions, tomatoes, baby carrots, lettuce, frozen veggies, etc. A few condiments, juices, seltzer water, tofu, sandwich thins, and tempeh take up the rest of the space. Boooooring!
Mr. Sombrero:As most of you know, Mr. Sombrero had la gripe for the past week. Veggie soups for breakfast, lunch and dinner – 4 days straight. So I’ve been able to lose the weight without doing any exercise. And I highly recommend it – the more contagious the disease, the more weight you’ll lose. So go ahead – get that flu, diarrhea, malaria (your choice) – and see that belly fat melt away! At least for one week. And here’s a telegraph from Mr: Sombrero: BEEN SICK FOR QUATTRO DAYS STOP SOUP FOR BREAKFAST LUNCH AND DINNER STOP FRIDGE EMPTY STOP NADA TO EAT STOP SAD FACE STOP
Polt: This is the Poltfridge. It’s got all the essentials: Pepsi, wine, outdated milk, beer, a shelf full of condiments. Even a box of Arm & Hammer in the back. You may notice the healthy stuff: a shelf of yogurt, apples, and even celery…still wrapped in plastic. Please don’t notice that the healthy stuff is outnumbered by the unhealthy stuff. And by the way, it does look kinda lonely in there, and i DO take donations….
Jere: My fridge is full of many mysterious leftovers belonging to my roommates. For some reason, almost all my items are currently in the vegetable drawer. These include a loaf of bread, a banana, and two bags of shredded cheese. I also have half a dozen eggs on the top shelf. The absence of red delicious apples. It’s time to go grocery shopping.
FDot: The inside of my refrigerator contains food and drink. Most of it is in bottles and jars. Some of it is in Tupperware. Tupperware was developed in 1946 by Earl Silas Tupper as a way to contain food in an airtight receptacle so it would last longer. There is also a light in my refrigerator that allows me to see inside of it when I need something in the middle of the night. Anything I can possibly need is inside my refrigerator except when I really want it. Atop my refrigerator is a freezer, but I never open it anymore ever since that fateful day……….
Paul: Here are the contents of my fridge. Top Shelf: bottled water, filtered water and coffee. Meat Drawer: steak, cod fillet. Middle Shelves: yogurt, cottage cheese, sugar-free, fat-free pudding (chocolate and cheesecake), eggs. Bottom Shelf: chicken, tomatoes, fat free Cool Whip (for the pudding). Crisper: onions, potatoes, beefsteak tomato, golden delicious apples, oranges. Not a very exciting selection, but it’s working. I do recycle the water bottles, having them like that helps me keep track of how much water I’m drinking. I like to make the cheesecake pudding into a pie, but right now I don’t want the extra calories of the graham cracker crust. I saw the doctor today and got my meds and the clearance to start working out, so now it’s time to really get started losing weight!
Mush: My weight loss this week is an astonishing [censored]. That’s [censored] pounds! I’ve never lost [censored] pounds in one week before, like, ever. I’m super excited! I also don’t expect it to last; I’ll probably go back to my usual plodding [censored] lbs-per-week loss after this. The vast majority of the stuff in the fridge I use doesn’t belong to me. What’s in there is leftover Indian food in containers and some veggies and diet ranch dressing. And 1% cottage cheese and no fat milk. Being skinny better be fucking worth it.
Ryan: A mix of my and my roommate’s stuff. Highlights: rhubarb preserves, yogurt (fat-free so that can eat a pound to get protein without freaking Mush out), lard (which should go to the freezer since I don’t plan on baking anything with it any time soon); vinaigrette in need of mixing, turkey, cottage cheese (still not tried), eggs (which I learned you can poach inside cooking oatmeal); more yogurt; beer (not touched since this started).
TEAM OINKHarry & Michelle M.
Harry & Michelle:Because we live in the same house (and use the same refrigerator) we only have one blurb. And because neither of us likes to be on the bottom (shut up), we took drastic measures.
Mikey: This is my fridge, well at least it is the fridge my apartment. I share this fridge with a roommate and absolutely everything you see in there is hers. I have no food at home, which is part of my plan and part of my problem. When I do have food at home, I eat it all until it is gone. When I don’t, I drink water and complain about my lack of food. It takes all of my strength and sense of ethics to not steal my roommates food. Wish me luck!
Ty: To look at my fridge, you might think I never eat. This is even particularly well-stocked for me; usually it contains the water pitcher and condiments. Ah, but how deceptive! Most of my calories never see the fridge except as leftovers. Even when I cook, I tend to buy only what I need for immediate use. The simple reason is that I tend to be a little OCD about food: Gotta clean my plate, finish off any leftovers ASAP, eat the entire box of Cheez-Its, etc. Since I vowed not to make any profound discoveries about my eating habits in this competition, I’ll have to stop there. As for this week’s results, there was a lot of socializing, hence a lot of outdoor calories, hence only a nominal drop. Boo!
How did our teams do in the second week? It’s time to find out!
We’ve calculated the cumulative percentages for each team, and here are the results:
And now it’s time to eliminate a team! Here’s how it works: just like American Idol, you vote for the team that you want to save. The team with the least votes will be eliminated. Polls close around Noon (EST) on Saturday.
Wait a minute! Before you start your campaigning, please feel free to plead your case, write speeches, freak out, party down, or even flip your shit in the comments. We’ll see which team is eliminated next on Sunday!
Today is the day that we say farewell to our first eliminated Biggest Cock & Rudest Loser 2 team. Earlier today we revealed that Team Oink is safe from elimination. That leaves two teams to face elimination today:
Canadian Bacon, which is made up of Tam and Nathan.
Team Mushy Cupcake, which is made up of Mush and Ryan.
But before we reveal the eliminated team, here’s a farewell video that Joshrico of JoshIsTrashy & HotelTuesday have picked out! Please enjoy Ke$ha’s Goodbye:
And now, the first eliminated of Biggest Cock & Rudest Loser 2 is…
CANADIAN BACON!
Goodbye Tam and Nathan! We’ll all miss our Canadian friends.
That means that Team Mushy Cupcake is safe for another week!
But don’t be too sad, Tam and Nathan — you still have a chance to win. This year we’ll be awarding our Rudest Loser prize to the eliminated player that loses the most weight. Keep working hard to drop some pounds, and we’ll check back in with you on April 7th!
Mel: Since I have to work and won’t be home in time to send a pic of my fridge, I’m sending one of the freezer where we store deceased patients at work. Unfortunately, I’ve been doing this so long that it does nothing to kill my appetite. Fortunately, the week overall has been a good one. My rate of weight loss has slacked a bit, as was expected, but is in a healthy range. I’m in the process of breaking in new custom orthotics and hope to get back to my running training soon. A friend is trying to get me to register for a marathon in July – not sure I’ll be up for that, but I at least want to do another half marathon or two in 2011 (did two this past fall). I’ve been consistently meeting my nutritional goals, eating fewer calories, and not feeling at all deprived or hungry.
Enrico: This week was hard for me. I would find myself at Mexican restaurants, eating burritos with extra sour cream, completely forgetting about the weight loss challenge! But I did curb my eating habits somewhat… after all, I only ate 45 cookies one night, rather than the usual 60. Either way, this doesn’t really say anything about what’s in my fridge this week, since I hide all the good stuff from my roommates and keep it in my bedroom. But this is what my fridge looks like anyway. MMM.
Adam: Visitors to my apartment are usually surprised by how bare my fridge is. I hate to waste food, so I usually only buy as much as I need for the next few days. Since I cut out the junk food, a significant portion of my (vegan) diet is made up of fruits and vegetables, so I usually have a good stock of apples and oranges on hand. I also have onions, tomatoes, baby carrots, lettuce, frozen veggies, etc. A few condiments, juices, seltzer water, tofu, sandwich thins, and tempeh take up the rest of the space. Boooooring! 
Polt: This is the Poltfridge. It’s got all the essentials: Pepsi, wine, outdated milk, beer, a shelf full of condiments. Even a box of Arm & Hammer in the back. You may notice the healthy stuff: a shelf of yogurt, apples, and even celery…still wrapped in plastic. Please don’t notice that the healthy stuff is outnumbered by the unhealthy stuff. And by the way, it does look kinda lonely in there, and i DO take donations…. 
FDot: The inside of my refrigerator contains food and drink. Most of it is in bottles and jars. Some of it is in Tupperware. Tupperware was developed in 1946 by Earl Silas Tupper as a way to contain food in an airtight receptacle so it would last longer. There is also a light in my refrigerator that allows me to see inside of it when I need something in the middle of the night. Anything I can possibly need is inside my refrigerator except when I really want it. Atop my refrigerator is a freezer, but I never open it anymore ever since that fateful day……….
Mush: My weight loss this week is an astonishing [censored]. That’s [censored] pounds! I’ve never lost [censored] pounds in one week before, like, ever. I’m super excited! I also don’t expect it to last; I’ll probably go back to my usual plodding [censored] lbs-per-week loss after this. The vast majority of the stuff in the fridge I use doesn’t belong to me. What’s in there is leftover Indian food in containers and some veggies and diet ranch dressing. And 1% cottage cheese and no fat milk. Being skinny better be fucking worth it.
Harry & Michelle: Because we live in the same house (and use the same refrigerator) we only have one blurb. And because neither of us likes to be on the bottom (shut up), we took drastic measures.
Mikey: This is my fridge, well at least it is the fridge my apartment. I share this fridge with a roommate and absolutely everything you see in there is hers. I have no food at home, which is part of my plan and part of my problem. When I do have food at home, I eat it all until it is gone. When I don’t, I drink water and complain about my lack of food. It takes all of my strength and sense of ethics to not steal my roommates food. Wish me luck!
