Pride on The Biggest Loser: They mean with a little ‘p’ — but I can only think of a capital ‘P’

In Reality The Gays
I don’t normally blog about The Biggest Loser. Even though I’ve been regrettably faithful to the show this season, I feel like regularly updating you on what’s going on with hottie trainer Bob and scary trainer Jillian and their gang of tortured contestants would diminish the value of TiFaux.
That said, I’ve got to bring something up.
There has been a faction of men this season who have started using the word “pride” over and over. Presumably, this just means what it means on face value — pride in one’s self and one’s family. In fact, on one episode the fellas made the lamentable (and completely non-alcohol influenced) decision to all get pride tattoos while on a reward trip to Las Vegas.
But they have no idea, right? About gay pride, that is. The fact that people usually just refer to it as “Pride” — as in, “Are you going to Pride this year?”
They’ve been known to do that football huddle thing where they put their hands in the middle of a circle and then shout “pride!” And all I can think of is seven-foot-tall drag queens and skinny guys with mesh tank tops.
If that’s a photo from The Biggest Loser, I need to start watching it again.
Yeah, it’s like that Terrence Howard swimming movie last year, Pride. Which was only about swimming. Even though there was a bare chested male on the poster. That’s just mean.
But what must Bob think every time they say it? I mean,he is, right?
Oh, and if Mark doesn’t stop crying, I’m going to stop watching. Dude.
The ALL need to stop crying, Jeeze. And they don’t even cry pretty, it’s like wipe snot on your sleeve and get all wrinkle faced crying. Strap on a pair fellas.
