What's up with NBC's Jillian Michaels?

If anyone saw NBC's The Biggest Loser: Couples edition last night, they would have saw a pissed off Jillian let the F-bombs fly at host Allison Sweeney? I was really hoping for an appearance of Sweeneys' DAYS character Sami Brady to confront her but instead we got a seemingly shocked & speechless Sweeney trying to avoid a big confrontation. Let me start off by saying, I can't really stand Jillian. She's in your face annoying to the point i feel like kickboxing the TV screen sometimes. On last night's show, her "black team" had lost another member and he was sent home. The team was depressed and had come to the realization that they can't really drop as much weight as the men on the 'blue team". So Brittany (Jillian's pal), Maggie (Miss Sarcastic) and Kelly (i am going to try to cry on every episode) were all sad during the weigh in. And not to mention the fact they brought back 2 kicked off players, one who they already couldn't stand from the blue team and Ally, who had been kicked off earlier but looks so good, you can already see those lines in her stomach that every woman wants and strives for. As the host, Sweeney tends to ask obvious & sometimes annoying questions about things that happened in the house during the week which she probably has watched or watches on a camera somewhere. This week she asked Brittany if she wanted to go home because she gave an answer how ' it's not possible to lose as much weight as the men because their metabolism is different.' So Jillian butts in and says "Why don't you leave her the F*$% alone, and then added a few choices words that were bleeped out by NBC. Some people might say, Jillian's team member was getting asked some harder questions and she defended her. I say, Brittany everyone is there for a reason and that's to lose weight. You look great already but stop the 'it's all about me whining' It's very sickening. As for Jillian, someone should kick her ass. I'm hoping it will be Allison Sweeney but I would prefer Sami Brady.

Pete Sampras still has it

Watched the Pete Sampras/Roger Federer match last night. It was sold out at Madison Square garden but I watched it from the Jane Pickens Theater in Newport, RI. It was sponsored by the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport as well. Lots of people went. They even had good old liquor to loosen you up. (None for me thanks) As I was looking around the theater I thought i might have been the youngest one there but alas the younger crowd finally made there way in. People were cheering along with the crowd at the Garden but some people i think thought that Sampras or Federer could actually hear them the way they were carrying on in the theater. The ticket said 7 pm so my friend and I get there right before then and had to sit through 2 showings of the Golden Anniversary of the Tennis Hall of Fame induction & gala at the Breakers. Seeing Bud Collins once is enough. The guy a few seats down from me kept yelling, "play tennis" I'm not sure if he realized he was yelling at the Tennis Channel or he actually thought he was in the Garden. Needeless to say, the match was great and Sampras can still play. Federer lost his way in the 3rd set and almost lost the match but his ability to serve aces when he's down and crawl back out of trouble is so amazing. Even though i was hoping for Pete to win, deep down I thought Roger would pull it off and he did. I hope Sampras keeps playing till he can no longer stand.
