Saturday night is the big showdown between the #1 Memphis Tigers and the #2 Tennessee Vols this in-state matchup has college hoop planning super bowl like parties in front of the tube this weekend.

The Tigers are putting their 26-0 record on the line, but it is doubtful if their potential #1 ranking in the upcoming tournament is in the balance. They have looked too good this season for the tourney selection committee to take that away from them.

Any thoughts on who will win the game tomorrow?

Tonight is The Biggest Loser, and I have to admit this season I am just not into the show like I usually am. Maybe it is the couples thing, maybe it is the contestants; either way it just isn’t as good.

Last season was great with the whole spin on the team with the outcasts being trained by Jillian. That scenario cannot really be repeated though since it has been done.

I will be watching tonight for sure though! On this evenings show, a appearance will be made by Jillian’s mom. I am curious what her mom will be like, so I will watch just to find out. I wonder if she will be just like Jillian, or the total opposite. My daughter and I are total opposites, and it is amusing to those that know us that a mother and daughter could be so different.

It is a really cold day here with a half inch of ice covering everything for miles. Not too fun, I wish it would just snow like it does in the rest of the world, then I could get my cross-country skis out and hit the local trail. Instead I have ice which makes it impossible to get outside and do any kind of workout without breaking a leg slipping on the stuff.

So today was cardio kickboxing videos in the living room. Not my favorite fitness activity, but better than nothing.

Two of my favorite tv shows this season are American Gladiators & Biggest Loser!!

I use to love the original Gladiators, and I am so glad it is just as cheesy as it used to be. Of course the “puny” contestants could still whip my rear end so I have no right to talk, but you won’t catch me trying out for the show.

I also really enjoy watching The Biggest Loser!! I am a little disappointed with how the couples game is playing out. It is not quite the same with the trainers not having a vested interest in certain players. Also it is taking longer for alliances to start up within the groups since they already had someone they could count on.

Of course what does it say about me that these are 2 of my favorite shows!! Stayed tuned and we’ll see how it goes for both of these shows this season.
