A Figure Competitor was on Wife Swap January 17!!

Posted by Maria Kang on January 25, 2007

Well I don’t really watch THAT much tv but when I do…I really get entertained by ABC’s “Wife Swap” because it allows you to see how people respond to being ‘outside of their comfort zone.’

Reigning Miss Northern Natural USA, Melissa Johnson, swapped places with Dee Dee Allemon, a woman who believes in fun, inner beauty and fast food

I highlighted some ‘rules’ I resonate with in Melissa’s NEW Rules for the Allemon Family:

In order to be winners, you need to give your body the fuel it needs for maximum performance. There will be no more candy, no more sugar, no more fast food. It’s time for protein bars, protein pudding, and lean, mean meals.
You should strive to be the best in everything, and that includes your home. From now on, beds will be made, dishes will be done, and this floor will be spotless.
You don’t just hang out in the fun room, you live there. The fun room is off-limits.
Striving for excellence in sports takes discipline. From now on, it will be all fitness all the time. Focusing on building your bodies will help you focus on other goals.
Bernie, you will organize a game of kickball with little and average-sized people.

Honestly, if they have a re-run, I will definitely watch. It appears that Melissa has the same ‘anal’, type A, competitive, perfectionist, OCDish personality that MOST (not all!) competitors have. Melissa is a prime example of how work ethic involved in physical training can overconsume itself in every part of life including organizing and controlling all other aspects of one’s phsyical environment: food, dress, house cleaning, etc. (I know because I am very similar!)
