How I Made Enemies with The Biggest Loser

So the Biggest Loser was stalking us in New Zealand. Not sure why- I’ve never watched the show, but they were with us every step of the way.

First encounter: Waiheke Island. They were at Mudbrick, which is where we had lunch. JR and I notice a lot of TV cameras and kind of wondered what was going on- it wasn’t until Chris and Susan freaked out just a little bit that we found out it was the Biggest Loser. Apparently it’s their favorite show. Sammy and Gillian were not there. Also, the contestants took a helicopter; shouldn’t they hike? Just sayin'. What were they doing in New Zealand?

Second encounter: though not a direct encounter, way more hilarious than ours! Our new friends from Virginia/South Carolina ran into them on their flight to Queenstown. One of the girls recognized the contestants and, while pointing, said very loudly, “You’re the Biggest Losers!” … while her friends silently prayed behind her that she wasn’t wrong.

And then we saw them in Queenstown. Well, I saw them in Queenstown. JR had gone back to the hostel and I was hanging out with our new friends from Sydney. The film crew came in and we talked to them a bit. Then this guy sitting next to me (from BC) started talking about how much he hates LA and how everyone there is plastic and has had plastic surgery, and you can’t see the sky, etc., etc.. Then, maybe an hour later, one of the film crew turns and points at ME and goes “That girl is such a bitch. She’s so rude. You should have heard how she was talking about LA!,” with me sitting there going, wait what?? While pointing at the guy next to me. And the guy next to me was cracking up. It was kind of hilarious really – this guy would not stop telling everyone on the film crew about what a horrible rude bitch I was! And pointing at me. Even though it totally wasn’t me. And then he asked where I was from and he points at me at goes “CHEESE CURDS!” in a “take that!” kind of way. I got told.

And that’s how I made enemies with the Biggest Loser.

And by the way, LA sucks.
