"The Biggest Loser" tidbits: Strike news and Makeover Week details

Taking my cue from Gail Gedan Spencer over at the Examiner, I think this is going to be the last I write about the strike at "The Biggest Loser" ranch until the thing is resolved. There's just not much else to say, except...What a shame. I hope this ends soon.
Gail alerted me to this story in The Hollywood Reporter, which says that 100 picketers lined up outside the ranch entrance early Monday morning and greeted arriving replacement workers by yelling "Scab!" and "Turn around!" But that was as far as the nastiness went. THR reports: "In a few cases, picketers slapped the vehicles, but THR observed no injuries or apparent property damage. The picketing was orderly, and the vehicles were permitted to enter."
So, apparently, we are up and running again with the production of Season 11. Hopefully, I'll be able to report the end of this whole strike mess in the near future.
Getting back to Season 10...Makeover Week is on its way! Everyone's favorite episode (besides premiere and finale) airs Nov. 23, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and the day before the "Where Are They Now?" special.

This season's makeovers will have a pink theme -- as in pink for breast cancer awareness. "The Biggest Loser" is teaming up with Ford Warriors in Pink, the automaker's campaign to support the fight against breast cancer.
What does that mean? The winner of the weekly challenge will get a 2011 Ford Edge. And as part of their makeovers, the contestants will be modeling Warriors in Pink apparel. I am not sure if that means the clothes will actually be pink, but judging from the campaign's official website store, the color pink will probably be integrated somehow.
Last note on the Ford connection: You can enter to win your own 2011 Edge at www.nbc.com/warriorsinpink. 
That's it for now. See y'all tonight at 8 on Twitter, where we'll follow Week 9 together.
