UTAH vs. BYU

So the big game is almost here! This is the game of the season. Every year this is a big game, but alot is riding on it this year. If Utah wins, they will break the BCS and get into a bowl game...again. I still don't understand why Utah doesn't get credibility. If they win on Saturday, this will be the 2nd time in 5 years to go undefeated in regular season. Hopefully if they do get into the Fiesta Bowl they can play a decent team and have a good game. In 2004, they played Pittsburg and blew them out of the water, 35-7. I understand that week after week they don't play extremely difficult teams, but being undeafted in any conference in a pretty big accomplishment.

Even though I am a Utah fan, I still want BYU to succeed in almost every situation except for when they play Utah. I was kind of bugged this year by Bronco Mendenhall's big mouth about halfway through the season when he was complaining about his top ten standing saying he should be higher and his team could beat any team in the nation. Not too long after he said this, they lost their first game and ended their winning streak. Even with that loss, they have been slowly climbing back up in the top 25 and should be grateful for their current standing.

Nonetheless, my vote is clearly for Utah this year. Regardless of who wins it will be a good game and it's always fun to get together and watch the game with family and friends. Please vote for who you think will win on the top right of the blog, and post comments if you want.

What is Amy thinking? Seriously, what good is it going to do her to keep Vicky on. Vicky would never do that for Amy, especially since Amy voted off Vicky's husband, Brady. This was probably her only chance to vote off Vicky and she blew it. It made me so happy that the challenge came down to Michelle and Renee. When Michelle told her mom that she would buy her a purse if she let go, it made it sound like she was going to take the money. Then at the weigh in when Michelle decided to do the 1 pound disadvantage to Vicky, it almost seemed like she did it for Amy. That 1 pound disadvantage was huge, it put her below the yellow line and up for elimination. Michelle knew Amy would have the swing vote and that she had a miserable week because of Vicky. This was the perfect chance to end it all. I am sure Amy is afraid of Vicky, I mean who wouldn't be, she is psycho. But if she voted her off, she wouldn't ever have to see her again. Amy might have been afraid to face Bob to tell him he voted off another member of the blue team, but I know Bob would have understood. He was really on Vicky's case so he would have seen that it would have been Vicky's own fault. Amy had nothing to lose to vote off Vicky. At the beginning of the episode I was really cheering for Amy and wanted her to win it all, now I am not so sure.

Am I just crazy or are Heba, Brady and Vicky the worst contestants ever on this show? I have been annoyed by previous contestants before, but I have been able to get over it and focus on the weight loss. I understand that this is a game and people are playing for lots of money, but this is beyond that. These people are so rude and they don't try to hide it. Their little outburst last night made the other contestants feel very awkard and even made Stacey cry. Heba kept yelling at Phil to stop playing the victim, but he is the victim. For some strange reason they all think they are the victims and everyone else is rude to them. I just can't believe some of the stuff that Vicky says in front of the camera.

My favorite part of the show was when Amy voted off Brady. That was amazing, I was so happy. She was very brave to do this because she has seen how vicious Vicky and Heba can be. It was smart on her part too because Brady is going to be more of a threat than Michelle, obviously. Plus it's exactly what she said, she has been on both teams, so I don't know why the blue team thought they were all safe, Amy didn't have any more loyalty to them than the black team.

SNOW!!!

So, every year we go up to snowbird on the 45th week of the year. Sometimes there is sunshine all week and sometimes there is a ton of snow. This year we got 4 whole feet (not exaggerating) in less than 24 hours. Brittany got stuck up there and had to call in to work to tell them she couldn't come in. We had to unbury all the cars to get out of the parking lot.
