I work for a magazine distributor. One Friday I was putting out People and this guy came up to me wanting one because he was in it. He took one and showed me his picture. It was the black guy from the Richard Branson reality show. This was right before the show started airing. I never watch these shows. Did he win?

I went to college/played rugby with Rob Mariano from Survivor. His nickname was "White Shoes", because he wore these god awful white football spikes and refused to buy a proper set of boots.

One of my friends' best friends is in the current season of Average Joe.

They all refuse to say anything about the outcome to me.

My friend's sister (who I've only met twice) was on two episodes of Blind Date and was going to end up on an episode of The 5th Wheel before it was cancelled.

I know a friend who knows a handful of people that were on that stupid VH1 show where people sing in their cars.

I have a friend who is in the upcoming Bigest Loser 2. If you watch the video here, he is "The Athlete". I helped him make his audition video, and thus have all of the raw footage, along with about an hour of video from his return home with limo and camera crew (thus leading me to believe that he has made the final three, although he can't say anything of course).

Hey, NBC has right-click disabled for that video, does anyone know of any other way of saving a copy? I'm trying to accumulate as much video as possible for friends and family, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My brother goes to the same university as Jamie (from the Real World) and he sees her at the school's gym from time to time.

Stupid contracts.
