Battle of the Blog Stars

Tonight! On "Battle of the Blog Stars", your favorite blogging All-Stars "The Playaz" will pit themselves against the "Washington D.C. Blog-Stars" in feats of athletic prowess....

The Playaz, captained by Gabe Kaplan, will compete against various D.C. area bloggers in several 'made-for-tv' events such as the "Tug O' War" and "Canoeing"! Stay tuned!

Now for a word from our sponsor:

OK, we're back!

The Playaz fall behind early in the "Tandem Bicycling" event. Bloggers I-66 and Marci take an early lead before bloggers formerly known as Unique Alias and Rhinestone Cowgirl surge ahead. Their love for each other was channeled into some furious pedaling, defeating the Playaz team of Larry Holmes and Dian Parkinson. A poor decision having the 275 lb. Holmes take on this event. Let's see if they can rebound.

We're on to the swimming competition, where Hammer and the Captain will team with Kathryn and Namaste in this 400m relay event.

Unfortunately, it appears the Playaz relied on an aging Lynda Carter to anchor their relay team, and have lost yet another event, falling behind two events to none.

Kathryn (wearing Playaz-issued see-through bathing suit), "Team Playaz" captian Gabe Kaplan, Kenny Rogers, and Phil share a laugh following the swimming event

In the 100 meter dash, Bon wins handily thanks to performance enhancing steroids, which are actually encouraged in these events.

And we'll be right back after this quick commercial break:

Before the commercial break, the Playaz closed the gap, as we move on to the "Dunking Booth".

Phil entered the tank for the Playaz, taunting Team D.C. with each throw. Hammer is successful in dunking Phil on several occasions, but Team Playaz pulls this one out with the razor sharp-accuracy of Phil Niekro, dunking Team D.C. members repeatedly and even beaning several of the D.C.'ers who were reluctant to re-enter the tank.

With the score all tied, we move to the final event of our "Battle of the Blog Stars" with the Tug-'O-War.

The Playaz have pulled out a secret weapon, with the Cube 9000 serving as anchor for the Playa Team!

With a 15,000 lb. capacity built-in winch, the Cube 9000 easily handles Team D.C. The Playaz win!

Tune in next year when Kathy Lee Crosby joins Team D.C., as new contestants are sure to emerge to try and topple the Playaz!
