This actually looks like a healthy reality TV show, I am going to watch at least one episode.
Thank god the whole format isn't just taking advantage of people's knee-jerk reactionism. I think the look is telling me they didn't edit it too much, but I will have to watch one first.

Ok the first thing you got to do is blow everything out of proportion.
The second is... well actually just stick with step one and you should be fine.

I'll vote for you mate, as long as I don't have to sign up for anything. I am not sure how this contest works though...
Wow... that isn't a lot of votes there, I would be careful about asking for too much support. If 5 of us vote every day you will win by default, that just isn't fair.
In with the action hero representing reality TV.

to answer a couple questions..
1: its a good reality show. No throwing people off an island. They just gave each family finicial coaching to try to help us learn to live without credit cards and save money.
2: please vote every day. All the families are encouraged to spread the word and get people to the site. But if you really are worried about being fair please watch the videos. NO NEED TO SIGN UP FOR ANYTHING. OR LOG ON.
3: And if that was not enough I wanted our video (since were the green team) was for us all to WAgggAAHHHH!!! but my wife thought that most people wouldn't get it. lol

I actually watched all of the blogs, and I can say with some certainty that I think you guys should actually win.
I will try and vote at least a few more times, but it seems your are ahead by around 50-60 votes right now, more than a large lead.

I dutifully went and voted (if you clear up your finances, you can budget for more minis!) and was suitably impressed by your lead in the voting. If I remember I'll try to toss another couple of votes your way.
I wonder if we could measure how many of your votes are from dakkazens.

Thanks for the votes.
I think some of the other families have some very excited fans voting for them. I noticed that they both gained 100+ votes in 15 minutes this morning.
Please if you know how to cheat a poll like this DONT!!!!
I am going to call the IT person running the page and let them know what is happening. however, please vote every day if you can. hopefully we will see althem fix the poll to prevent this from happening again..

Lastest news.
So they have not removed all the bad votes so the other family has a huge lead. Im not sure if they will at this point.
So we have some catching up to do. Right now we are behind by 100 votes and the contest ends on friday.
It will be very close if we can catch up.
vote once per day at http://www.welivefitchallenge.com/about_the_program/welivefit_blog/vote_for_your_favorite_family_video_here
I won't be at the event on saturday to see if we won (ill be playing in one of the semi-final Ard Boyz) but ill let everyone know if we won on sunday.

So if you made the other families "disappear" would you win? How much, or more importantly, how much is my cut?

Ok, I couldn't make it through the whole video but I voted for you anyway. Looks like you're in the lead by 1% so that's good.
Just promise me from now on you'll spell it FINANCIAL.
