Get the Popular Loner mug.A term used to describe when most or all of the footage seen of a particular contestant on a competitive reality show is aimed toward making that contestant seem inept, flustered, and generally in over his/her head.
A contestant may be given the loser edit for the entirety of his/her appearance on a show (in which case he/she is usually eliminated relatively early on) or for an individual episode. The latter situation, though traditionally used to foreshadow and/or validate the contestant's elimination at the end of the episode, has recently been used more frequently by more clever editors to create suspense and surprise when the seemingly struggling contestant ends up exceeding expectations.
This technique is most often used by competitive reality shows concerned with a specific skill--such as cooking (Top Chef), fashion design (Project Runway), or modeling (America's Next Top Model)--rather than non-skill-specific competitive reality shows like Survivor. It is also primarily used by shows that employ an on-screen judge or panel of judges to make decisions regarding eliminations, as shows that include audience participation (like American Idol) are wont to draw outspoken criticism from fans of the contestant getting the loser edit.
Antonym: winner's edit

Get the Loserfruiting mug.There's 2 types of loners. The loser loner and the cool loner. Unfortunately throughout high school and life I fell into the first category not the second.
The one i always wished to be and looked up to was The cool loner, they're the one who does their own thing, dosen't really care what others think, rejects most people yet is looked up to and follows their own lead. Usually ends up popular in some way despite their aversion to popularity in general. They always have the 'cool' people approaching them wanting to be friends yet they prefer to do their own thing. Usually are hated or loved. This kind of person is usually miles ahead of the 'popular people'
Then there's guys like me.. The loser loner. The type of guy who dosen't have good social skills, No confidence and jealous traits. The one who never gets the girl, the money or the friends. The dumb guy who nobody notices. The one who feels invisible around women. The one who nobody wants to spend time with. Known as 'the boring guy', the 'friendless' guy, the invisible man. We have to act out to get attention. We arent lone wolves, we are dependent insecure people who are usally better friends with the teachers and tag-a-long. We were dealt a bad hand in life.

Acting like they have an extremely popular social life often talking about going to the Gym, Drawing, Working or other irrelevant activities that don't require other individuals.

Get the Facebook Loser mug.Meaning a person originating from Lorne, New Brunswick Canada. It is a well known fact that you don't mess with Lorner's. Lorner's have dealt with lots of crap and stereotyping in their lives and have kicked a lot of asses as a result.
