Tennis Great Monica Seles Guest Judges the George Foreman “Knock out the Fat” Cook-Off Challenge at the US Open
The George Foreman division of Applica Consumer Products, Inc., the company behind the popular web-based weight-loss reality show “Knock Out the Fat,” will be taping part of an upcoming webisode at the US Open on September 4th, George Foreman Day at the tournament. The taping, focused on “The Knock Out the Fat Cook-off Challenge,” was made possible through the company’s sponsorship of the US Open and will feature tennis great Monica Seles as a guest judge.
The special webisode will air on September 5th and will “serve” up great tasting healthy meals cooked on the new George Foreman G-broil grill. To celebrate the occasion, four fans at the US Open that day will be able to win a new G-broil grill.
The four contestants from the web series have lost a total of 55 pounds during the two months of competition and are vying to lose the most weight in six-months for the Grand Prize of a trip for two to a luxury spa overseas. For the challenge, the contestants will be asked to cook a unique, healthy and tasty meal they developed in the past months from their experiences using the G-broil grill. Their grilling creations will be judged by Seles on taste, fitness expert and show host Michael Feigin on healthy approach, and Evanghela Hidalgo, President and General Manager of the Americas Division of Applica Consumer Products, Inc. on how the unique technology of the G-broil was used.
“We are excited to host this challenge and special episode of ‘Knock Out the Fat’ at the US Open,” said Evanghela Hildago. “Eating healthy, along with exercise like tennis, is important when trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The George Foreman G-broil grill is a great way to cook a tasty, healthy, convenient meal and to help reduce fat from your food.”
The “Knock Out the Fat” monthly Web show consists of host and expert commentary, home footage, online blogs and video diaries of the contenders’ experiences. Viewers can interact with contenders by commenting on their blog postings, rating and uploading recipes, and submitting videos that share their own grilling tips and healthy eating and dieting advice.
