Nancy and Stephen...same person?

The similarities are striking. Both blame a competitor for their downfall. Apparently both suffered "leg problems." I have no doubt Nancy is as fond of beer as Stephen. And both screeched "Why me?!!!!" in that very same pitch. What do I say? The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

And there's more: Neither can conclusively prove that their injuries were connected in any way to their competition. While I hesitate to link myself to the likes of Tonya Harding, I can't help but feel a twinge of sisterhood. Sure...Nancy's knee was crushed. Sure...Stephen's leg was kicked. But was it TONYA'S doing? Was it mine? I should think not. All we really know is that at some point on Thursday evening someone kicked Stephen in the kitchen.

Have we considered the obvious? That Stephen's injury was perhaps self-inflicted in some perverse and desperate effort to garner sympathy and perhaps disqualify his wife from the competition? The situation was grim. With arguably the fewest pounds to lose of anyone in the competition, Stephen stepped on the scale and was gripped with fear as he saw the numbers rise. He went to the kitchen and while reaching for yet another beer the "attack" happened. A coincidence that I was in the bedroom at the time? I think not. Friends, He DID THIS TO HIMSELF. Anyone who has seen the Tonya Harding E-True Hollywood Story knows that this is a distinct possibility.

Now, I'm not saying that Stephen should be fined or eliminated from the contest after this one (egregious) offense. BUT-let's keep an eye on him, shall we? Any additional "injuries" should be regarded with suspicion.

I look forward to a public apology
