And the award for ‘No longer remotely funny’ goes to…

When did Family Guy become so dismal? It certainly wasn’t recently, but it was only watching tonight’s that I realised just how crap it really has become.

I remember when the humour was clever, genuinely controversial and interesting. Now it’s just repetitive, trying too hard to be controversial and very base. Shame.

You know what the bigger shame is though? I’ll probably continue to watch it, it’s one of my televisual flaws…once I start watching a show I tend to stick with it. Even when I don’t like it any more.

What’s wrong with me?

The Biggest Loser UK is coming back!

..in a slightly new guise as it will be called ‘Britains Biggest Loser’, but still huzzah! Big news for Biggest Loser UK fans, it’s coming back! Honestly I thought this was axed for good, but it’s been picked up by ITV and even more excitingly it’s going to follow the Australian format of being on nightly rather than just once a week. Awesome.

ITV1 has commissioned Britain’s Biggest Loser, a daily weight-loss show based on the original US format.

Loser follows the lives of dramatically overweight people as they undertake a strict diet and exercise regime in order to shed pounds. Participants begin in couples, but ultimately only one person can walk away with the cash prize.

A UK version was previously made for Living TV in 2005 and fronted by Vicki Butler-Henderson. It was axed after two series, with eventual I’d Do Anything champ Jodie Prenger winning the second series.

The Biggest Loser format has been adapted in 25 different territories including Australia, Brazil and the Middle East.

ITV daytime controller Adam McDonald said of the commission: “I’m thrilled that this global smash is now coming to ITV1. The phrase ‘life changing show’ is overused in telly but this compassionate, compelling format does just that.”

Executive producer Karen Smith added: “Britain’s Biggest Loser is much more than a reality show, it is a daily, real-life soap opera with inspiring personal journeys and unbelievable transformations which are life changing.”

Take the hassle out of adding blog pictures

One thing that I like to do on my blogs, not just here at Jeoberpta, but on all of my blogs…is include images in my posts — I think visuals always help and they add a certain style to a blog post.


What I usually do is write a post, then think about what picture would look nice and fit in with it, then I start searching free photo sites and google image search and the like — once I find one I like I have to check I am allowed to use it, save it, resize it, upload it and insert it. It’s a bit of a hassle.

Blog Pictures | acobox.com

So, was I ever glad to come across AcoBox.com a few days ago! They offer free blog pictures, but what makes it so great is that I don’t have to worry about checking if I am allowed to use the image or not — if it’s on the site it’s OK to use. I also don’t have to save it and upload it before use as they host it for me and should it need resizing, I don’t even have to do that manually as it can all be done on site.

They just took all of the hassle of adding blog pictures to posts. Hurrah.

The Biggest Loser - Team Vile 1 - Team Nice 1

Team Vile 1 - Team Nice 1

The latest episode of The Biggest Loser USA ended in a draw, with Ed returning (or The husband of ‘The world revolves around me’ Heba, as he’s better known in this household) scoring a point for Team Vile…and Amy deciding to vote off Brady scoring a point for Team Nice.

I didn’t think it’d happen to be honest, I have seen enough reality tv show vote offs to know that when it seems like it’s a forgone conclusion, they will edit the heck out of everything to make it seem like there’s a chance it’ll go the other way, but it never does.

Kudos to the editors.

I have disliked Heba from the start, she’s so up her own backside it’s unbelievable — there’s nothing worse than a bitchy little girl who loves to point out and pick at others flaws, but cannot see her own. As for Vicky, she seemed nice enough and then all of a sudden *bam* out comes Vile Vicky, one of the most unpleasant TBL contestants ever — now don’t get me wrong, I don’t care that she’s trying to play the game, I don’t care that she’s in it for the money more than the weight loss — but she’s a genuinely unpleasant woman.

Doing a little dance and happy clap in front of a team who just had to vote someone out? Who does that? No class. at all.

I think the best word to describe that little alliance, is simply Highschool — it really says every thing that needs to be said doesn’t it.

I hope that the black team do a similar little dance that they voted off Brady, let’s see how they like that. *

Roll on next week. The fallout should be spectacular. I only hope that Bob doesn’t freak out on Amy, her game, her life, her choice Bob!

* actually I hope they don’t, and I know they won’t…but it’d be well deserved if they did.

Business checks

Do you own a business and need checks? My boyfriends boss asked me to look up some where online that he’d be able to get some for his business — I don’t know why I seem to be the ‘Go To’ person for everyone’s online needs, but I don’t mind, it’s like I get to go shopping but without having to spend any of my own money!

I came across Choice Checks, a site that sells all kinds of business checks including the popular Versa check refills and other bits and bobs all businesses need, such as envelopes, at really great prices.

That’s who I will be recommending to him I think :)

The Amazing Race Episode 7

I just finished watching last weeks episode of The Amazing Race, a little slow of me I know, but what can I say I have been busy.

Great episode, it had everything — including the much need tension and franticness that makes TAR what it is. The Indian legs always seem the most fraught every season, all those people, crazy driving, the hustle and bustle.

The road block looked amazing, I can’t believe that dye — frankly I’d have been terrified, having everyone throwing it right in my face, but the after affect was gorgeous. I could not believe how green it turned Tina’s hair!

The race to the pit stop between Dandrew and The Shrews was insane, I have never wanted a team to lose as badly as I wanted The Shrews to, not only because they deserved it after a dismal performance this leg — but also because they are just so unlikable. You can see why they are divorced.

Top Design is over…

….what will I do with myself now, I love that show. It was a really great season as well with all three of the finalists showing great, wonderful and unique designs.

Shall I tell you one thing that really annoys me about home make over style shows though? They never show the ‘ugly’ things in a house that, like it or lump it, are necessary — TVs, cables, security systems.

People need security in their homes, make it work designers!

You can find everything for your home security needs, including Infrared Illuminators at Security-Cameras-CCTV.com :)

I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!

Ex-tennis star Martina Navratilova and George Takei - Star Trek’s Mr Sulu - are among contestants in this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

They will be joined in the jungle in the ITV1 show by MEP Robert Kilroy-Silk and TV presenter Esther Rantzen, as well as ex-EastEnder Joe Swash.

Others include ex-Blue singer Simon Webbe, TV presenter Dani Behr and former police chief Brian Paddick.

Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly again front the show which starts on Sunday.

The line-up is completed by models Nicola McLean and Carly Zucker.

‘Champions adjust’

Navratilova, 52, said she “was flying very blind” having never seen the show before.

“So I’m sort of going in on trusting in my ability to adjust - as Billie Jean King says, ‘champions adjust’. So we’ll see if I can adjust.”

The Czechoslovakian-born star, now a US citizen, said her “biggest worry” would be contact with snakes and spiders.

Takei, who married long-term partner and business manager Brad Altman in September, is also new to the I’m A Celebrity concept.

The 71-year-old said he had eaten live fish - a Japanese delicacy - and hoped this would stand him in good stead for the bushtucker trials.

“I’ve even had live fish that’s had a bamboo spit driven through its gill attached to a radish and a bamboo spit through its tail so that it can’t flop around,” he said.

“You can’t get fish any fresher than that.”

Executive producer Richard Cowles hailed this year’s “magnificent cast of celebrities”.

“But their trip to the jungle promises to be anything but a walk in the park,” he added.

“Each year, in a bid to test the celebrities, we develop new ways of pushing the boundaries and this series will push them further than ever before.

“We have bundles of surprises up our sleeves and some of the most gruelling bushtucker trials ever seen.”

Last year’s series was won by actor Christopher Biggins.

US ex-model Janice Dickinson finished in second place while former pop star Jason “J” Brown was third.
