Love how you're writing this from both perspectives. This is so freaking funny. I was cracking up when you described the clapping over the head and the black lady with the afro doing a kick. Even funnier...the fact that it "sent him into overdrive." And LMAO at the Flavor of Love girl. Can't wait to read more :)
Author's Response: I haven't done a back-and-forth story before but it's a lot of fun actually! I meant for it to be totally ridiculous so glad you thought it was. LoL I couldn't have a weight loss show without a Flavor Flav girl. haha

I feel like this would be MY worst nightmare, kudos to Nick and Shay for sticking it out so far.
Author's Response: Mine too! I would have gotten right back on the bus or called someone to pick me up. For one there's the whole R. Simmons thing and secondly there's all these people that I wouldn't know. Bad combination :/

I don't know who Richard Simmons is, but he sounds annoying! I like how they met on the bus, looks like they will get along fine :)
Author's Response: You should YouTube him...you can see for yourself lol Oh, something tells me they'll be getting along rather well..

LOL @ Richard Simmons! can't wait for new updates, girl you've got some mad writting skills!
Author's Response: It couldn't be a weight loss comedy story without R.S. :)

''Even though I couldn't see them, I sensed the cameras right away. I ran a hand through my hair. I had taken a shower this morning; I had shaved. The shaving might have been a mistake.
I discovered a double chin hidden under the fuzzies.''
---When you grow up on that industry, you have the spider sense by cameras.
"ARE YOU READY TO TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND?!"
I'm sure my face looked like I had been hit by a semi truck. I looked around.
I was sure I was being Punk'd.''
--You're inside the MATRIX! GO!
''Even though he wasn't so overwhelming when the cameras stopped rolling, his body still couldn't stop moving. I kept my eyes on his face. Dudes should not wear spandex body suits. He looked out the window.''
--I sooooo agree! NO ONE SHOULD!
"Richard Simmons," she muttered. She sounded as disgusted as I did.
"Spandex," I muttered. We looked at each other.
"You hate spandex?" she asked.
"You hate Richard Simmons?" I asked.
We smiled. I held out my hand.
"Nick Carter," I said. She put her hand in mine.
"Shay Gerard."
---Oh they met each other.. now the 'fun' begins!
''I think 'toothpick' was an accurate description.
I wasn't one to judge, but he had gained quite a bit of weight. In my opinion, it made him look better.''
--He is just like that. Period.
"What are you in for?" he whispered mysteriously. I looked at him in confusion.
"In for?"
"What's your crime?"
I blinked. I was brunette, but suddenly I felt like I was having a blonde moment.''
---You see the Carter thing there. It comes from nothing and BANG! It hits you down.
"Yeah neither's mine," Nick said. He successfully interrupted my thoughts of annoying tiny women who carried their stupid dogs in their purses. He smiled. "Maybe they'll let us off easy."
---Oh yeah, I bet mine too. And about the 'let off easy'' HAHAHAHHA!
"Are you a singer or an actress or a model?"
I almost snorted. He thought I was a model? Was he delusional?''
--See, he is Nick Carter. It's his thing to be crazy; but she could be, she can be anything. She is the one to hold on herself.
"So your tabloid news?" Nick guessed.
I smirked. "That sums it up."
Nick stretched his arms above his head.
"Then you'll be the one to watch out for."
---He sooooooo good, isn't! Poor girl.
NEXT!
Author's Response: LoL I love that you said he was inside the Matrix! What a horrible place to be with R.S.!

''Damn it all to hell. I was one of People's most gorgeous people just six years ago. Now I felt like Dan from Roseanne. Plus I was breaking out like I was fifteen again.''
--Life.... what you do with her, she pays you back.
"There's a first time for everything."
I rolled my eyes. "Ain't that the truth."
---Just like that.
''He was worse than my mother. Of course, he cared more than my mother.''
--Well.... yeah.
''Once I lost the weight, I would tackle my problems. Not that I really had a big problem.
The drinking and drugs were more like a little hobby; I could quit at any time.''
---Just sad..... SAD!
''Mom stared at me wide-eyed. Or maybe it was just the leftover immobility from her latest Botox injection.''
--Leigh 2.. oh boy, I was evil now...
"It's all about connections."
She had just admitted what I had already guessed. She had dropped my name and probably my picture. If I wasn't ready for 'soap time' or 'prime time' at least she could get her 'reject' daughter on TV somehow.''
--Both have pushing ppl, for good or not.
''As long as I could ignore the cameras and wasn't forced to wear anything made with spandex, I was going to be just fine.
As for my Oreo problem, I wasn't too worried. I could quit at any time.''
---Lord.... when we THINK that we CAN quit, when we SAY it we WANT to be true. But isn't, because we DON'T do it alone.
Oh boy, these two....
Author's Response: lol at the Leigh comment! :) These two are a mess, no?

Hehehe....Richard Simmons. That gave me the greatest chuckle. I remember doing Sweatin To The Oldies with my mom. We would laugh at the dorky people exercising. Good chapter.
Author's Response: LoL he's one of those people who you see once and never forget...kinda like Carrot Top. But I don't mean that in a good way. :)
Date: 10/25/10 11:52 pm Title: Chapter 3
I'm tellin ya...had this been on TV..YOU woulda lost a follower. I CAN. NOT. STAND. Richard Simmons. I want to stick some velco to a ceiling and stick his fuzzy head to it and leave him there forever. Nick is king prankster, so I hope he's planning on some for Richard..*wink wink*
I love how you introduced Nick and Shay...very cute. They seem to be somewhat alike in a lot of areas. Can't wait to see if you are gonna team them up together. I'm so gonna love this story..I can already tell.
Author's Response: LoL that would be torture for me. On one hand it's a show Nick's on. On the other hand...it's the most annoying man on the planet. I still think it would have been worth watching it to see the look on Nick's face when he jumped out of the bus. haha. We'll see what I have plan...I've always got some vague idea. ::grin::
Date: 10/25/10 10:59 pm Title: Chapter 3
*adds story to favorites* I'm hooked. :) I already love the small conversations between Nick and Shay. And I agree with Shay about Paris Hilton, she's too skinny for words (though my thigh wouldn't be bigger than her body but she's still wayyyy skinnier than me).
Btw, I love Oreos! Too bad they're pretty expensive here, so it's not like I can buy them all the time. :/ I'm a tradition breaker though. I hate milk so I never dunk them in that. Just always eat them without it lol.
Author's Response: Shay tends to exaggerate sometimes...I'm sure her thigh isn't as big as Paris' body...if it is then Paris has major problems (well we already knew that, but still). Oh I love Oreos with milk..it's the only way I'll drink milk actually. :) My favorite's are the mint Oreos. ::sigh:: Must not think about Oreos...
Date: 10/25/10 09:59 pm Title: Chapter 3
I'm intrigued to see where this will go. It was a nice introduction to the two characters, and they're about to see each other at their worst, but somehow I can see a strong bond between them already. And I'm rambling so I'm going to stop. But great chapters :)
Author's Response: You're right - they are about to see each other at their worst. That in itself can bring two people together. haha, I enjoy rambling btw. :)
Date: 10/25/10 08:55 pm Title: Chapter 3
Omg Richard simmons hehe i could totally see nick running in the other way from him. Hehe. They seem to be getting along ok so far. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: LoL you can run Nicky, but you can't hide! :)
Date: 10/25/10 08:20 pm Title: Chapter 3
I am intrigued by this so far, I'll just have to keep reading then, won't I?
Author's Response: I suppose you shall :)
Date: 10/25/10 08:13 pm Title: Chapter 2
Hm, this is god so far, but I'm still trying to get into it. On to the next chapter...
