One Week to Go!
With only one week left, everyone involved with the Breakaway Fitness Challenge – Part Deux is counting down the minutes to the final weigh-in. As the contest comes down to the wire, each team’s fan club is really pulling out all the stops to support the competitors.
On Friday of last week, Team Scott held a pep rally to fire up the fans and get ready for the final leg of the contest. As the rally was getting underway, one fan chose this as the moment to express his tremendous enthusiasm and unwavering support. Dressed in a homemade cheerleader outfit, this unnamed fan burst onto the stage bringing the crowd to its feet.
Clearly overwhelmed by his fan’s commitment (or his need to be committed) Scott spoke with the media following the incident. “To receive this kind of unscripted support from one of my fans just goes to show the affect that Team Scott has had on many people,” said Scott. “In recognition of his clearly exceptional team spirit, I have named this young man as my new team mascot.”
In another announcement, a Team Scott spokesman stated that security procedures during public appearances would be re-evaluated to ensure the safety of team members and overzealous fans alike. “While this incident turned out to be harmless and actually got us a new team mascot along with some great media coverage, we’re working with the Secret Service to develop a more effective protection detail.”
Chubby’s Angels spokesperson Jamie Doyle expressed concern over the incident, as well. “We all love our fans, but sometimes they can get a little…well, Looney Tunes is the term that comes to mind. This is why our security team carries tasers during all public events.”
After the excitement of Friday’s pep rally, media coverage and fan attendance jumped through the roof for this week’s official weigh-in. A hush fell over the crowd as each contestant stepped on the scale. Throughout the packed auditorium, you could hear the faint beeping of the electronic scale as the weight totals were recorded. Once the week’s results were announced, pandemonium broke out, as fans of both teams let out their pent up emotions. Many fans hurried from the stadium, ran to their cars to grab tents and sleeping bags and began forming a line for next week’s final weigh-in, knowing that this contest was going down to the wire.
