Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com: How did you get involved with The Biggest Loser Couples, were you a fan of past seasons? When I spoke with your mom she said you applied and took her along after they didn't feel your brother needed as much help?

A. Dan, The Biggest Loser Couples:  I tried out for season four and I went to on open casting call in Chicago, it went really really well. I ended up being a finalist but didn't make it on the show. They called me back for season 5 and then they told be it was a partners show. They told me to find a partner and at first I never even thought of bringing my Mom. We both thought about who I could take and then we looked at one and other and said lets do it together. Going from being 19 and going to my first open casting call and a year and half later being there getting my ass handed to me by the trainers was a trip.

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com: Your Mom was so proud of you and honored to be on the show by your side, how was it to work with her?

A. Dan, The Biggest Loser Couples:  I was so nervous going into this with my Mom. My mom is 50 years old and sits at a desk all day. She doesn't go to the gym, do challenges and I thought what did I do bringing my Mom into this. Going into it I doubted what she could do and she shocked me beyond belief. Seeing her run and lift weights and giving it her all was so impressive. Not only did she survive on the ranch, our orange team was on top several weeks in a row.

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com: Your Mom is a pretty fierce competitor. How did you feel about your team when they kicked her off?

A. Dan, The Biggest Loser Couples:  On one hand I was so bitter when they kicked her out and I was so mad since they double crossed me and not only did they double cross me they kicked off my mom. On the other hand I realized I needed to turn it around and find out how to keep myself in the game. I knew the football players and brothers would not kick each other out.

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com: How was the whole Tim Gunn Rock star look you received last week and how is the new hair cut holding up?
 
A  Dan, The Biggest Loser Couples:  The hair is still the short cut and it symbolizes my journey when I left the old me behind. The way I look at it, some professionals put this together for me and they know a lot more about style and fashion than I do.

Q.  Mark, RealityWanted.com: Regarding your elimination, was it due in part to the eating you did at the arena?

A. Dan, The Biggest Loser Couples: We all made jokes taking a bite of pizza and a few pieces of pop corn but the most I would have eaten is a hundred calories which can barely equal one pound. I pulled big numbers for 12 weeks in a row. Everyone hits a plateau or wall and I hit mine last week. I think it shocked a lot of people to see me fall so far since I was young and losing big numbers. Usually when you have a bad week you then hit big numbers the next week so I know I looked like a big threat.

Q.  Mark, RealityWanted.com: Anything you were shocked or surprised to see as you have watched the episodes?

A. Dan, The Biggest Loser Couples: When I watched some episodes it was shocking to hear what some of the people were saying and doing when I wasn't around. For example when my Mom was eliminated I then tried to build back the bonds with the guys. Mark came and told me I was not going to be kicked out next and later he walked around the corner and told the others it’s time for me to go.

Q.  Mark, RealityWanted.com: Your mom told me you didn't want to sing since you felt like people would not want to watch a larger guy sing on stage. Will you sing now and what else will you do now that you once would not do?

A. Dan, The Biggest Loser Couples: I always felt like that and I was afraid for people to see me on stage. I got my first guitar in fourth grade and I didn't want to be a great singer who is known as the heavy guy who can sing. Since my time of leaving the ranch and moving to Los Angeles I have been pursuing my music and I released my first single, I owe it all the The Biggest Loser.

Q.  Mark, RealityWanted.com: How can we get or hear the single?

A.  Dan, The Biggest Loser Couples: Go to www.Daneveansmusic.com

Q. Mark, RealityWanted.com: Do you have a Myspace you can share with fans?
