Battle of the Blobs Week 1 Weigh-In
After the first week of dieting, here are the numbers:
| Team Tim | Team Artie |
| Tim - 263 (- 9lbs) | Artie - 288 (+ 2lbs) |
| Brian - 239 (-4 lbs) | John - 251 (-4 lbs) |
| Scott - 255 (-9lbs) | Gangi - 244 (- 3lbs) |
| Jason - 258 (-4lbs) | Benjy - 246 (-21lbs) |
Benji shocked everyone with his dramatic weight loss of 21 pounds. Scott the Engineer immediately jumped on Benji’s honesty and said he was cheating. Ironically it was Benji who was concerned about people cheating when this whole thing started. He is taking Cylaris, however, I don’t know that we can fully trust Benji to not pull tricks.
How is our Baby Gorilla Artie Lange handling the Weight Competition?
Despite gaining weight, it almost sounded as if Artie was getting into the spirit of the competition on the Wrap Up show. We all know he has no ambition unless there are drugs, gambling or sex involved however Artie is competitive by nature and I thought that was coming through today… until he shouted that ” I want to lose weight when I want to lose weight … not when I affect offer people”. He mentioned today that because he feels so bad for his teammates, he offered them a thousand dollars each if Team Artie loses. Le’s face it, $20,000 is just not enough money these days for Artie.
