In week nine:
- Courtney Lotzer wins back-to-back
- Jeff Hanson’s pedometer addiction reaches insane new high
- Only two more weigh-ins remain
The details are brought to you by this week’s sponsor, The Olson Twins C2 Diet Plan.
In a performance worthy of comparison to the SDSU Women and NDSU Men’s come from behind Summit Basketball Championship victories, Lotzer destroyed the field for the second week in a row with a 3.14% loss. The closest followers were Hanson (1.88%) and Michelle Adrian (1.47%)
Lotzer’s late charge has moved her into the competition for grand prize money awarded to the top three losers at the end of the contest. Not bad considering that two weeks ago she weighed in half a pound heavier than when the contest started. Standings to date are: Hanson (12.02%), John Pohlman (8.47%), Soukup (6.62%), Lotzer (6.08%), Nikki Gronli (6.02%) and Korena Keys (4.89%).
The contestants still in the “Judge’s Club” by avoiding weight gains in any week are: Keys, Gronli, Hanson, Scott Lawrence and The Judge.
In the footstep race Gump went just plain nuts and became the first to break the 150,000 barrier. I’m not exactly sure how many hours The Floating Brain spent on the Sanford Wellness Center treadmill last night but he did admit to telling his wife she better drive separately to the gym. Jeremy Peters, who was also gunning for 150,000 this week, finished second with 123,400. Melody Morton, who says she has given up the “crazy chase”, logged 110,005. This week’s additional members of the 10,000-steps-per-day club were Pohlman (89,869) and The Judge (85,599).
Because Hanson has won the pedometer cash more than once before the prize money goes to Peters.
The Olson Twins Caffeine and Cigarettes Watch for week ten:
Will Lotzer continue her charge for the cash?
Will the contestants resort to Hollywood tactics with only two weigh-ins to go?
Will Hanson embark on a Gump Run to the coast?
Who will finish in the money as The Judge has declared an ONLY TWO PREVIOUS WINS WEEK*?
*For week ten prize money will be paid to people who have not won that contest three times or more. I haven’t checked the records but this may be the “Hanson Rule”.
Reset your pedometers and let the week 10 contest begin.
