Mark, RealityWanted.com: Dick it’s great to have the chance to speak with you today, I know you have had a ton of things going on, can you catch us up on your recent activities?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: I have had a lot of meetings lately with different producers, directors, and so on. Danielle and I have gone oversees and I just bought her a new car.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: A new car, nice what did you get her?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: I got Danielle a new red eclipse and gave my old car to my son so they both ended up with new rides.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: Not a bad gift from dad. You guys went to Ireland right?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: My grandmother is from a small city in Ireland called Kilkenny. We spent sometime there and traveling around Europe. The funny thing overseas is that once you get kicked off Big Brother, even if you’re the first person eliminated, you’re an instant celebrity.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: You’re an instant celebrity?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: Big Brother is much larger overseas. For example I go out to Dublin Ireland every few years and have had trouble getting into one of their Hollywood type clubs. On our last visit we walked right in as if we were big celebs.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: So even in Ireland people recognize you, what a trip.

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: There were a few people who recognized us, in fact the Minister of Agriculture in Kilkenny came up to do a photo with me. However, Canadian fans are unfucking believable. Canadian Big Brother fans rock, I love those guys. While in Europe we actually ran into a lot of Canadian fans. It’s very surprising how far reaching the show is.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: That’s crazy, I know Big Brother is one of the most syndicated shows oversees but it’s crazy that you had people coming up to you from Canada that were in Europe. What about new projects you’re working on, can you tell us anything that’s coming up?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: I have had a lot of producers come up to me with concepts, but most have been horrible. I have turned down a lot of shit. There is an idea in the works now, but it’s moving at a snail’s pace and it’s killing me. But fans have not seen the last of Evel Dick.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: What about US fans out on the street, what has that been like?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: You know, while I was in the house I never thought about what it would be like once I got out. When I did get out, I assumed there would be a few people here and there that would recognize me but I’d never expected the response I’ve received so far. It was close to overwhelming, especially when we originally got out of the house.

I really assumed everyone would hate me. The word dumbfounded comes to mind when I got out the Big Brother house, the positive response was so shocking. I thought once I left the house people would drive by and give me the middle finger. I could not believe the way people received me after what I did on the show. I have had people come up and tell me how much they hated me on the show and then ask to take a picture with me and then we end up having drinks together.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: That’s pretty cool man. So no one is throwing eggs at you or tried to start fights in a bar?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: Okay, I was in Vegas at the Hard Rock when I walked past some wasted guy on the way to the bathroom.  He said, “I know who you are and your daughter is a crack whore.”  I stopped and said hey man, I must have misheard you so he said it again. I got really pissed off and gave him an open handed slap to the face.  A security guy came over who knows me, and the guy ended up getting tossed out of the bar. I was told he has caused issues in the past.

Mark, RealityWanted.com:  Nice work, he got the Evel Dick pimp slap. If you don’t mind, let’s go back to episode one. Big brother 8 had the unique twist by putting three rivals in the house, one of which was your daughter Danielle. Take us back to that day and what it was like when you found out she was there.

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: Initially I was pissed knowing that I had the most to lose out of any of the other houseguests. As everyone knows I have a big mouth and talk a lot of crap, one wrong move with Danielle and I could have ruined our relationship forever. I basically had to play the game for two people in the very beginning. It was a huge disadvantage to my planned game play.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: Without a doubt it looked that way on day one, not only with you but Joe, Dustin, Carol and Jessica. You by far had the most to lose. Carol and Jessica had issues with one another several years ago and could probably exist without ever talking with one another and the same goes for Joe and Dustin. I think you mentioned something about this one day on one of the live feeds. By the way did you ever watch the live feeds before you were on Big Brother?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: I know I got the feeds for at least three seasons. I would watch guys outside of the Big Brother house pacing and you could tell the wheels were turning in their heads.  I thought to myself, if I ever get on that show there’s got to be a spot in the backyard that I can go tell people at home what I’m thinking and what’s going on. On day two we were told by Big Brother production not to talk to the cameras. But I ended up talking to the cameras anyway and I I called it the Dick at night show.  I would talk about my strategies and what the houseguests were up to. Everyone loved it. I was outside a lot alone at night.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: Looks like I missed a lot from not staying up late at night to watch the feeds. I did watch the show three days a week and saw all the fun you had with the rest of the cast. Let’s talk about some of the houseguests now, let’s start with Kail.

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: I think Kail is probably a really nice lady outside of the house, but inside the Big Brother house, she was a liar. She is probably a great mom and wife. Danielle and Kail have become closer since the show has ended and she may go to Kails for the premier of Big Brother 9.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: What about Nick, I heard Danielle and Nick broke up awhile ago?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: I did talk to the Nick quite a bit until Danielle and Nick broke up. I really liked Nick. I still call and send him emails. Nick seemed to have issues with all of the attention we were getting after the show. He’s a very nice kid, but I think the attention weirded him out a little bit.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: Can you give us any examples?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: We all went shopping one day right before Halloween at a huge costume shop, there were people coming up to us to chat and take pictures. Danielle and I were talking with some fans and when I turned around I saw Nick making his way out to the car. There was another instance when we were all at Disneyland when fans came up asking for photos and autographs. While we were taking some pictures Nick walked away and didn’t seem to want to have any part of it.

Mark, RealityWanted.com:  Sounds like the attention was too much for Nick. I remember meeting him at the Fox Reality Awards show and he seemed a bit discombobulated with all of the attention he was getting.

Mark, RealityWanted.com:  Can we talk about Nick and Danielle’s relationship or lack thereof? From what I’ve read online the relationship ended a couple of months ago. Can you tell me anything about what happened?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: Last I heard he was planning on moving back to Minnesota. Nick and Danielle broke up at least 20 times. I was really glad they broke up. I don’t think it was a good match for either of them. Danielle basically broke up with her boyfriend on TV and in front of 50 million people. It can be a bit overwhelming for anyone and Danielle had just turned 21.

From what I saw Nick and Danielle just fought all of the time. When Danielle flew to Minnesota, and they both drove back to LA I heard they fought constantly. Nick didn’t know anyone in LA, and when he moved here he relied on Danielle for everything. At the same time Danielle was running around trying to get her life organized and get ready to travel with me oversees.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: What about Danielle’s ex-boyfriend Chris? Viewers had a chance to see Chris on television and I’m sure Chris watched Danielle basically break up with him on national TV.  Did you know, Chris?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: I really didn’t know Chris. Remember I had not spoken with Danielle in over two years.  As far as I know Danielle and Chris are still friends. Since we’re on the topic of Nick and Danielle, I recently heard Jen has been all over Nick ever since she heard Danielle and Nick broke up. It’s so crazy to think Jen would go after Nick after Nick basically told Jen to fuck off. Every single thing Jen does is about Jen getting attention. When I was giving her shit during the show she loved it whether it was me tearing into her or just talking. Jen wants constant attention.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: How about we skip talking about her and give her as little attention as possible. What about Joe, do you ever talk to Joe?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: Joe and I did talk once or twice once we were released from the Big Brother house. I really like Joe, I think he is a very nice guy and I don’t think CBS was very happy that one of the biggest personalities was eliminated so quickly.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: What about Jameka, you really tore into her at times.

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: I like Jameka, I don’t have any problems with her. At the end of the show when it was down to the final four we all decided to do something to remember the season by, so we painted on some plates. I painted one thing to represent each person for example, I drew a tear for Amber, a piano key for Zach, I wrote me me me for Jen and drew a magic ping-pong ball for Jameka.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: The piano keys, damn I forgot about that. I was rolling on the floor when you said that. What about Zach, what do you think of him now that the show is over?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: Zach is a goofball, I would never hang out with Zach. Zach has also been talking a lot of crap since the show ended. He even tried to sell Danielle’s gloves that she wore on the show on eBay, but the funny thing is I have the gloves right here. Zach also posted a blog on his Myspace not too long ago talking crap. My son printed up the blog he wrote so I could read it and I posted a message online about how Zach was such a liar. The next day Zach posted a message on his Myspace telling everyone that it had been hacked and someone posted that story. Zach also posted a message telling everyone that Danielle and I were not invited to go on the reality Big Brother boat cruise. I get so many messages on my Myspace it’s hard to get through them all, but I found the original cruise invitation and posted it online along with Zach’s quotes telling everyone that Danielle and I were not invited. He is a big shit talker.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: So I see you two are still very close. Let’s talk about Eric for a minute.  I interviewed Eric about a month or two ago and Eric commented about how you had such advantage with Danielle in the house. What are your thoughts on that comment?

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8: Every single one of those mother fuckers were whining and crying when they got the boot saying that if my dad were here I would also be going to the finals. They had no idea how much animosity Danielle had against me when I first walked in the house. It was not an advantage and completely fucked my game. Let’s put it this way, Eric and Jessica and Jameka and Amber had the same so called advantage Danielle and I had, it’s two votes that’s all.

Danielle and I dominated the competitions. Danielle won more competitions than I did but I won some of the very pivotal ones. When we needed to win we did, what some people forget is that fact that Danielle and I were on the block together on three different occasions. It’s funny how Zach spread all over the web the fact that he beat me in that final challenge when we had to stand on the wood blocks with freezing water sprayed all over us. What I don’t think Zach understands is the amount of respect that challenge gave me in the eyes of the public. So many people tell me they were in tears watching that challenge and the physical punishment I took for my daughter.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: That challenge looked pretty damn brutal. I also watched that challenge and was rooting you on the entire time. We all saw the toll it took on your body but you fought to stay in there as long as you could. I don’t think you could have scripted a better scenario.

Mark, RealityWanted.com: Let’s go back to Eric and the whole Americas Player deal.

Evel Dick, Big Brother 8:  Here is the deal, I had a huge disadvantage by having Danielle in the house with me. However Eric had a tremendous advantage being America’s player. America told Eric who to vote for and Eric had outside information on how the game was being perceived and who America liked and disliked, Eric should have used this information to his advantage. Eric knew how America was voting, so he should’ve aligned with the people that America was backing. Eric likes to argue every side to a point which is why I called him a Philadelphia lawyer.

I thought things were great with Eric and I when we left the house. His attitude outside of the house really tripped me out though, especially when he started talking about egos, if anyone is having an issue with ego its Eric. There are tons of people who say they were the best player in past seasons, but were evicted first second or third. It takes more than just thinking you’re the best player to be the best player. I’m not saying I was the best and I’m not saying Danielle was the best, but we were one of the best teams to play the game. No one else did what we did. We landed in the first and second position in the finals. There has been blood in the house together in past season, but they had it weirder than we did, if that’s possible.

Comeback Sunday for the second half of the Evel Dick diaries…..

This week, the contestants, still adjusting to their new teams, were determined to work hard and make the best of their time at the Biggest Loser Campus.  Dan, last week’s biggest weight loss loser, hiked up the mountain to find the three prize envelopes.

Instead of “Luxury”, “Family”, and “Game Play”, all three envelopes said “Family”.  Dan was shocked as his older brother walked up the hill.  They had an emotional reunion, then ambled down to see Jackie, who about fell off her treadmill when she saw her son. 

Tempation this week was one that would have been hard for me to resist.  In little booths (looked like voter’s booths, coincidence?), the contestants stared at 100 little chocolate caramels.  Whoever ate the most caramels won the option of swapping one person from their team and the other team.  Mark decided from the beginning, he was going to eat the entire 5 minutes, ensuring his win.  A few of the other players ate the chocolates, including Brittany, who ate 15.

Mark won, hands down, after eating FORTY THREE chocolates, or 1100+ calories.  He chose to keep the teams as they were.

This week’s team challenge was a surprise to many of the contestants.  Dressed in workout clothes, ready to run, the teams showed up at the Art Institute of California, Los Angeles, where they were informed that they would be cooking for Rocco Dispirito for their task!  This challenge was a relief, especially for Mark, who was suffering a stress fracture on his right shin, leaving him unable to run, or put impact on his leg. 

The teams had 15 minutes in Whole Foods to get the ingredients for one of Rocco’s dishes, and would be judged on presentation, taste, and how healthy they had made the food.   Each team created three dishes, an appetizer, main course, and dessert.

Both groups recreated some wonderful meals, and Rocco was impressed, but the blue team decided to add real butter to their dessert, bringing their caloric total cals to over 1100 for the meal, while the black team came in at around 750.

The black team won, which gave them a most needed boost of confidence.  Their prize?  Dinner cooked with Rocco, and a gift from home.

One of the dishes created was a filet mignon over lentils with curry sauce, which looked mouthwateringly good.  (Though I am going to re-create the meal with grilled portabello mushrooms instead of beef) 

After dinner, the group went to the living room, where they watched videos from home, and let me tell you, there was not a dry eye in the place. 

Weigh in this week, started with the blue team, which pulled, as usual, steady numbers, losing 40 lbs as a team.

The black team, fueled by their desire to come through as the underdogs, started strong and finished even stronger.  Bernie’s little dance after his amazing 13 lb loss had me laughing out loud.  They blew the other team right out of the water, winning the weigh in and boosting their confidence as a team even more.

Back in their dorm, Jackie made a point to rally the troops, deciding that Trent, who was homesick, should be sent home.  She pushed Mark and Jay into promising her on their children’s lives that they would not vote for her unless they tell her. 

When the votes came in, Jackie’s behavior on previous challenges came back to bite her.  The team voted her off, saying that they just couldn’t get past what she did on the mud pit exercise.

While she wasn’t happy about it, Jackie went home, leaving Dan, and looks AMAZING!  Her transformation is incredible, and she has done admirably at home.

Next week….. what kind of drama is Biggest Loser stirring up?  It looks like Bob has had enough at some point and walks off.  Make sure to tune in on Tuesdays, on NBC to find out what happens next!

Carrie Falquist is a mother, artist, and weight loss group leader for www.realityofweighting.com, a support group formed from Biggest Loser rejects who came together to lose over 1200 lbs in less than one year.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So how did you end up on the show?

Jenileigh, (Crowned): I received an email from a casting director that told me about the show so I thought it would be fun and decided to send my info in. I later told my mom about the show and she was excited to go too.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): Did you enjoy living with the other girls?

Moya, (Crowned): There were 11 teams, so about 22 different personalities. I was looking forward to it though, the gorgeous house, events and the fabulous opportunity.

Jenileigh, (Crowned): There were 8 of us sharing a bathroom so it was trying at times but we all got along and figured out a good schedule for everyone.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): Who did you like or dislike in the house?

Jenileigh, Moya, (Crowned): We met a lot of great people while we were in the house. It was extreme circumstances so you can’t always judge people for things they do. We got along with Gina and Hollis, Rachelle, Nicole to name a few. You have the people you get along with and the ones you don’t but we did our best to enjoy the experience and not wrap ourselves up in the drama.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So if you had an opportunity to repeat the show would you do anything different?

Jenileigh, (Crowned): I don’t think I would want to change anything. To be able to work with my mom in this pageant was such a great experience.

Moya, (Crowned): Probably not, but wish the people in the house would have been more one with eachother.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So tell me a little bit about your favorite experience on the show?

Jenileigh, (Crowned): Besides winning just being able to do my talent with my mom. She now has a newfound respect for what I do.

Moya, (Crowned): Just being able to do the talent with my daughter was very eye opening. Pulling myself up on the silk was tough so I know what she goes through. Also the Habitat for Humanity house went through such an amazing transformation.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So tell me a little bit about your worst experience on the show?

Jenileigh, (Crowned): I think the separation between the girls was tough.

Moya, (Crowned): The diversity was tough to deal with, we just wanted to work on our challenges and not deal with the drama.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So by being on the show did your bond between the two of you increase?

Jenileigh, (Crowned): We had a strong bond to begin with so I never thought it would get any better but it did. I am a better listener now and better with teamwork.

Moya, (Crowned): I agree. We developed such teamwork through the challenges. We ended up being less of individuals and more of a team. We are very blessed for the opportunity and thank everyone for the opportunity.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So tell me how you felt when you won the crown?

Moya, (Crowned): We were in total shock! It was totally unexpected and exhilarating.

Jenileigh, (Crowned): It was a surreal experience. We never though we were going to win but having the opportunity to compete with my mom and win was fantastic.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So what’s next for the both of you?

Jenileigh, (Crowned): We hope we can be advocates for your women. I am currently living in Las Vegas and working on my talent.

Moya, (Crowned): I would like to help other women and be a supportive team for other mother daughters. I am looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So what are your plans with the money?

Jenileigh, Moya (Crowned): I hope the money will get us out of debt and if there is some left over I hope to buy a car that works. Also we will be working with charities to help other people.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): Is there a good way for our fans to contact you?

Jenileigh, Moya, (Crowned): Yes, we have a Myspace account, www.Myspace.com/jenandmoya

Last month, a selected group of reporters got the reality television opportunity of a lifetime when CBS invited them to spend a day in the life of a Big Brother contestant. CBS Mobile’s Amber Valdez, TV Guide’s Kimberly Caldwell, Fox Reality’s Mark Long, and our very own Mark Yawitz of RealityWanted.com were some of the lucky people invited to participate. The group spent one day in the shoes of a Big Brother contestant and got a first look at the season 9 house. Some areas of the house were off limits, so that it could remain a surprise when the new season premieres on February 12th.

Mark, Amber, Kimberly, Mark, and others arrived early in the morning where they were greeted by CBS and Big Brother execs. They then had to turn over all of their personal effects from wallets to keys to cell phones. Microphones were handed out and the group was sent into the house to play Big Brother in fast forward. Immediately, alliances were formed as nobody wanted to be the first and only member of Big Brother 8.5 to be voted out. The houseguests competed in a Head of Household competition, nominations, a Power of Veto competition, and an eviction ceremony.

This week, RealityWanted will spill all the details of what went on in the Big Brother house. Learn more about the Big Brother 8.5 houseguests which included Cheryl Woodcock from The Insider, a comedy writer from The Craig Ferguson show, and local news personalities.

Today we had the opportunity to speak with Angelique Morgan for VH1’s Rock of Love 2. Angelique who is originally from Paris, France and has been a vegetarian for over 17 years now told us how she is spontaneous, brutally honest, very sexual, provocative, unpredictable and full of energy and how that led to her involvement on the show.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So how did you end up getting cast for the show?

Angelique, (Rock of Love 2): The casting director working on the show contacted me online and told me more about the show. I knew of Bret but did know much about him, so I thought it would be a great opportunity.

Jason: So tell me how it was when you met all of the other girls, were you intimidated by them? Did you meet any girls you liked or disliked?

Angelique, (Rock of Love 2): I am a very confident person. I thought the girls were pretty but like I said I am very confident with myself so I wasn’t intimidated. I connected well with Daisy though Aubry and I didn’t get along so well. The rest of the girls were nice and we all had a lot of fun together and will remain friends.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): What was your favorite time while being on the show?

Angelique, (RealityWanted.com): Everything was pretty cool, I am an exhibitionist so we had a lot of fun on the show. As a French girl I am very comfortable with my sexuality and I showed it on the show. I had fun being topless in the house and having the opportunity to express myself. Also the picture booth was a lot fun too.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): Tell me a little about your worst experience on the show?

Angelique, (RealityWanted.com): Overall I had a lot of fun on the show and would do it again but living with everyone was tough. I have always lived by myself or with family so I really don’t have a lot of experience with roommates. Living in that house was like a rollercoaster, we didn’t have a lot of time to be organized and without TV, computers or phones it was tough especially with everyone’s personalities.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): Would you do anything different if you had it to do all over again?

Angelique, (Rock of Love 2): No. I a very spontaneous and confident person so I was myself and that’s all you can be.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So who do you think would be the best match for Bret with the girls that are left on the show?

Angelique, (Rock of Love 2): I think Daisy would be the best fit, they just seem to match eachother well.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): Did you feel you had a connection with Bret?

Angelique, (Rock of Love 2): Yeah we had a connection, we kissed a lot more than you saw on TV. Bret is a good looking guy and typically go for looks first so if I am attracted to someone I go for it and let them know that I am interested. I am very outgoing and sexual so you’ll know if I like you.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So what’s next for you? Are you planning on staying in Vegas? Acting? How are people’s reactions to you after the show?

Angelique, (Rock of Love 2): I am back to work 3 days a week and it is crazy, everyone recognizes me and they want to know my experiences and how it was being on the show. I am doing my own radio show in the next couple of weeks where we will speak on relationship topics etc. I am open to discuss relationship issues and answer diet questions. I want to do more reality shows, I think they are great because they are not scripted and you can be yourself and maybe one day I will have my own show! I definitely want to do more, however, I want to do quality not quantity. I’m also very focused when I want something and I always reach my goals/dreams because I never give up and I think America it the best country in the world for opportunity just never give up!!! If I had to live somewhere else I would rather live somewhere with less culture and more opportunity. I will definitely give you part of my culture it’s your freedom to take it or leave it! I won’t change for anybody and what you see is what you get!

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): Any advice for people trying out for Reality shows?

Angelique, (Rock of Love 2): Know what you are dealing with, if you are applying to be on a show, know what the show is about and do your research ahead of time. Try to stand out, do something different to showcase your personality, I sent pink envelopes in the past to get peoples attention. Also be confident but go after what you want it is ok to be a little pushy.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So what is the best way to contact you? Do you have a site where fans can reach you?

Angelique, (Rock of Love 2): Yes check out www.famousvh1friends.com which is a website for fans to signup to so they can talk to me and other cast members directly. Also check out my website which is www.clubangeliquemorgan.com or you can find me on Myspace at: www.myspace.com/angeliquemorgan and on RealityWanted.com http://www.realitywanted.com/angeliquemorgan Thanks

Jenn, from team purple, was the first individual member from the newly created black team eliminated from the Biggest Loser Couples.  We spoke with Jenn and picked her brain about her elimination, thoughts on Paul and Kelly, and who she wants to see win.

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com: Whose idea was it to apply for the show you or Maggie?

A. Jenn, Biggest Loser Couples: It was me, I have been a fan of the show for a while now and when I heard that NBC was casting teams of two so I started to rack my brain on who I should contact out of my friends.  Initially I wanted to bring someone with me that I would get along with and be able to share a room with without killing one another.  Later I decided that might be boring TV so I decided I wanted to bring a friend who I might butt heads with from time to time so I called Maggie.  After it’s all said and done Maggie and I never really had any problems.
APPLY TO THE BIGGEST LOSER 6 HERE

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com: I am glad you cleared that up at the end since I never saw you two fight. Does Maggie know you picked her so you guys might but heads and make good TV?

A. Jenn, Biggest Loser Couples: Yes she knew I called her for this reason but like I said we never really had issues with one another while on the show.

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com: At the start of last nights show you started to tear into Paul and Kelly for saying you did not try hard enough last week, are you still upset with them?

A. Jenn, Biggest Loser Couples: I am fine with it and learned not to care about what people say or think about me.  What bugged me about their comments was the fact that Maggie and I did so many yo yo diets our metabolism was so screwed up it was initially harder for us to lose weight but Paul and Kelly told America we didn’t try hard enough.

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com:  Sounds fair, I may ask you a bit more about them later in the interview, lets talk about Jillian.  I want to know if Jillian is single but that’s for another interview.  This season Jillian has been talking about everyone’s inner issues that lead to their weight gain.  Did you have that chat with Jillian as well?

A. Jenn, Biggest Loser Couples: I did talk with her and my internal issues revolve around the comments I heard my entire life growing up about people who are overweight.

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com:  What kind of comments?

A. Jenn, Biggest Loser Couples: I had been told overweight people don’t receive the good jobs, get promotions, and so on.  Jillian said I needed to come to terms with my inner self and not let what other people say tear me up inside.

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com:  I think Bob said the same thing to you on last nights episode as well, it’s great to learn about the connection with the inner and outer self.  This isn’t simply a weight loss show.

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com: Now let’s talk about the team selections.  It was no surprise that Brit and Bernie were very upset with Bob. Not only were they upset he passed over them during team selection but many people on the black team felt they were lame picks since Bob stuck with the top weight loss contestants.  What did you think about Bob’s selections?

A. Jenn, Biggest Loser Couples: I think Bob is a bit bitter that Jillian has kicked his ass on every season finale.  When we found out Jillian would face off with Bob on the escalator challenge we knew Bob would win since he is taller and has longer legs.  I wasn’t surprised at his picks but I was shocked he passed over Brit and Bernie since both of them ran right up to Bob when the season started and as you can see they were very hurt.

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com: I assume you want Jillian to beat Bob again?

A. Jenn, Biggest Loser Couples:  I just want someone from the Black team to win. Jillian is so amazing, she is not just a trainer looking to win the money she is also a friend and really wants us all to change our lives for the better.

A. Mark, RealityWanted.com:  She sounds like a great catch and a great trainer. Now let’s talk about that fun soda temptation challenge. At the start you seemed gung ho to go after it but none of you moved, what happened?

Q. Jenn, Biggest Loser Couples: I was really pissed we didn’t do it, I know why you should not to give into temptations but to have the chance to sit out one of the big boys from the blue team could have really helped us out. In the end, I am glad none of us broke down and drank the soda.

A. Mark, RealityWanted.com:  Before the challenge you were all shown a very large container of sugar that equaled your yearly intake. Earlier in the season you all had to watch the Hall Of Shame to see what the foods you all eat equal as far as calories, fats, and such. Since the average person doesn’t have that opportunity to see this, what would you say or do to help them?

Q. Jenn, Biggest Loser Couples: I would suggest having someone who is overweight and now losing weight or lost weight follow you for a day and write down what you’re eating, you will be shocked.

A. Mark, RealityWanted.com: OK, I told you we would come back to Paul and Kelly and your elimination. Paul gained 3 pounds, Kelly lost nothing and you lost 6 pounds why am I talking with you and not Paul or Kelly?

A. Jenn, Biggest Loser Couples: I have my opinion on what happened that night and two things come to mind.  First, I think I was becoming a threat since I started to pick up bigger numbers during the weight loss weigh-ins. Also, since I had two weeks of back to back big weight loss numbers and the black team may have thought I could not repeat it a 3rd time. Since Kelly is still 250 pounds and Paul lost nothing this week they may be able to bring in large percentages next week.

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com: Final two questions, if a twist popped up and you had to pick another teammate and cut Maggie loose who would you pick and why?

A. Jenn, Biggest Loser Couples:  I would be torn between Roger and Mark.

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com: Let’s flip that and who would you not team up with and why?

A. Jenn, Biggest Loser Couples:  I would not pick Paul since he is in his own world and I don’t think he would motivate me as much.

Mark: Thanks for your time Jenn and we look forward to seeing your transformation at the Biggest Loser Finale.

Brenda and Heather were the 5th group eliminated on the on Wednesday. The girls otherwise known as the Blonde Bombshells spoke with RealityWanted and here’s what they had to say:

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So how did you end up getting cast for the show?

Heather, (Crowned): I did an application for another reality show and later received an email talking about the show. So we ended up flying to Los Angeles.

Brenda, (Crowned): I was excited to go for it. I thought it would be a good time for the two of us to spend together. I was actually surprised at how well we worked together and not wanting to kill eachother.

Jason, Do you think your comedy was too much for the judges?

Heather, (Crowned): Depends on who you ask. Carson loved it! We could have tweaked it a little but we remained true to ourselves.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): How was it living with the other girls?

Brenda/Heather, (Crowned): We enjoyed living with the other girls. We shared a lot of conversations but did not have a lot of time to bond with the other teams we were so busy most of the time.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): Were there any duos that you liked/disliked?

Brenda/Heather, (Crowned): We are very congenial people. We try to get along with everyone but you end up bonding with the duos you share your room with more than the other people. We frequently talk to Ada, Christan, Patty, Nicole and Angela.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): If you could do it all over would you do anything different?

Heather, (Crowned): We have no regrets. We were ourselves, though I might have been a little less hard on my mom.

Brenda, (Crowned): I don’t work well under pressure, so I probably would have worked on that and also would have brought better and more clothes.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): Do you think the judging was fair? Do you think the video shoot was the killer for the two of you?

Brenda/Heather, (Crowned): It was fair enough. Being kicked off makes it hard to say it was fair but we went pretty far and did the best we could. Don’t think it was the video shoot that caused our elimination probably more that we weren’t dramatic enough.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): What was your favorite moment on the show?

Brenda/Heather, (Crowned): When we won the “Trust Clinic”. The challenge was fun and winning the makeup prizes was great. Also everyone was happy for us and it felt good. The show was a memorable experience.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): What was your worst experience on the show?

Brenda (Crowned): Being cut!

Heather (Crowned): Being sent home and putting extra pressure on my mom.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): Do you have a Myspace set up or a way for the fans to contact you?

Heather, (Crowned): Yes they can find me at www.Myspace.com/heathersbailey

Ada and Christan were the 7th group eliminated on the CW’s Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants on Wednesday. The girls otherwise known as “Hot and Not” spoke with RealityWanted and here’s what they had to say:
Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So how did you end up getting cast for the show?

Ada & Christan: I have been doing pageants all of my life so we thought this would be a great experience for the both of us. The casting director working on the show loved us so decided it would be a great to spend one on one time with eachother.Jason, (RealityWanted.com): Do you think the judging was fair?

Ada, (Crowned): I was really nervous when we stepped out on the stage but we always tried to do what we thought they wanted to see. Overall I loved the judges and Cynthia Garrett was such a doll.

Christan, (Crowned): I think it was weird that Shanna was judging a show and critiquing us when she really doesn’t have the perfect background. Carson always made funny remarks.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): How was it living with the other girls?

Ada and Christan, (Crowned): Our room was like a small closet. There were 8 of us sharing a bathroom so it did take a long time to get ready and be organized.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): Were there any duos that you liked/disliked?

Ada, (Crowned): We met some lifelong friends. Brenda and Heather were great and they were fun to be around.

Christan, (Crowned): I didn’t really get along with some of the girls in the beginning but I gave everyone a chance and we are all friends now.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): If you could do it all over would you do anything different?

Ada and Christan, (Crowned): I think we would have been more prepared for the talent portion. Though I think we represented Texas well.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So who do you want to win the pageant?

Ada and Christan, (Crowned): I think Gina and Hollis deserve it, they are such sweet people.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): What was your favorite moment on the show?

Ada, (Crowned): Quality time with Christan I would have to say. We both learned a lot about eachother and ourselves and actually we realized that we are a lot alike. I also learned how to accessorize more.

Christan, (Crowned): I think the whole experience was great and spending time with my Mom has made us even closer now. Also in Episode 3 when we won the gowns.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): What was your worst experience on the show?

Ada, (Crowned): I think the showdown between Angela and Gina. We were there and it was really uncomfortable being there. I just felt bad for both sides.

Christan (Crowned): The part that was the worst for me was being in the theatre and having to present ourselves. There was so much anxiety and waiting.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): So what are your future plans?

Ada, (Crowned): If someone like Chelsea Handler wants to interview us I am up for it, otherwise just doing the mommy stuff.

Christan, (Crowned): I moved to Los Angeles now so I am getting into acting and modeling again. I am also starting back in school for computer graphics.

Jason, (RealityWanted.com): Do you have a Myspace set up or a way for the fans to contact you?

Christan, (Crowned): Yes they can find me at http://www.myspace.com/crownedblessedbeauties

Bravo’s “Top Chef” offers a fascinating window into the competitive, pressure-filled environment of world-class cookery and the restaurant business at the highest level.  The series features sixteen aspiring chefs who compete for their shot at culinary stardom and the chance to earn the prestigious title of “Top Chef.”  Each episode holds two challenges for the chefs.  The first is a quickfire test of their basic abilities and the second is a more involved elimination challenge designed to test the versatility and inventiveness of the chefs as they take on unique culinary trials such as working with unusual and exotic foods or catering for a range of demanding clients.  The challenges not only test their skills in the kitchen, but also uncover if they have the customer service, management and teamwork abilities required of a Top Chef.  The competing chefs live and breathe the high-pressure lifestyle that comes with being a master chef, and each week someone is asked to “pack up their knives” and go home.
