Big Losers.

Let me be the first to say that Tuesdays are now officially pointless. For the past 15 weeks Carrie and I have centered our entire Tuesday night schedule around watching "The Biggest Loser," and now we have nothing—no spandex-clad weigh-ins, no awkward product placements, no grown men weeping in each other's arms—nothing.

By the way, I'd like to use this opportunity to talk about your prostate. Did you know One A Day Men's Health multivitamins are specially formulated with Selenium which research suggests supports prostate health?

Anyway … It's amazing how much we've gotten sucked into this show. In fact, I hate to admit it, but last week was the first time I've ever casted a ballot for a TV competition of any kind (although if they would have allowed it. I would have burnt up the phone lines of "America's Got Talent" to make sure Leonid the Magnificent got through to the finals).

I guess we have just found it inspiring to see what people can accomplish when they set their minds to it. Plus, as a couple of health-minded individuals we've picked up a few pointers along the course of the season.

Did you know that one stick of Wrigley's Extra spearmint gum contains only five calories and is a great way to ward of hunger between meals?

The good thing that came out of last night's finale was that two really deserving people won—people who worked their butts off—literally. And surprisingly there was no crying, but if there was, contestants could have easily replenished any lost fluids with a nice refreshing glass of water.

After all, Brita water filtration products not only improve the taste, but the overall quality of normal tap water.
