Tonight on The Biggest Loser, Black has another member go AWOL and the other team mates are not at all happy!
Also, Bob and Jillian get on a conference call with Black.

Plus, The Warehouse is back and Cosi’s at the centre of the drama.

Would you like to know more?

Red and Black lurk in the lounge room after elimination. Blue come out of the elimination room and there’s ooh’s all round as they realise Michael is missing.
Garry thinks Michael was the strongest competitor, someone who had the potential to win.

Sam explains the votes. Kirsten says Michael was upset, as you’d imagine. After Garry asked how he was. Duh.
“You alright Sammy?” “Bit of trembling of the lip, there?” Cosi I think and JJ.
JJ says you could see that he was happy to be there but happy for his mate to be gone. But he thinks they’re crocodile tears from all three of them.
Nicole tries to explain to JJ, “the whole emotion of crying? But someone’s crying cause he’s upset.” She tries to get him to leave it. JJ agrees to do so.
Nicole then has an aside to say JJ probably couldn’t see the emotion going on, because he’s a heartless person.

Black linger in the lounge room to make sure Blue is okay, after Red head out en masse.
Alison says it was surprising, seeing as they’d been in the House less time. She didn’t expect to get support from them.
Bryce says when they were in America they knew they had to at least come back to the White House first before they could go home. JJ rolls his eyes and pulls a face at that. I think he’s only there because his team is there, not for support!

Black head off for a private chat. Carrianne says she can’t imagine what it would be like. Bryce says the mood has dropped, big time. JJ just sort of nods. Bryce asks him what he reckons and JJ just sort of shrugs and says nothing’s a certainty in this game.
Michelle asks JJ what he thought about his weightloss. JJ says he didn’t lose it in there, he’s not lost any since he got back. Michelle says that’s because he hasn’t been putting in as much work as he could. She says she knows he’s strong and he can do it. JJ says it’s just not the place for him to lose weight. Begging the question of why he agreed to come back…
JJ says he has no affiliation with the Red Team, or the Blue Team and the Black Team has 3 other members who have been in America and so they’re close knit, but he’s very much the “black sheep”.
Carrianne says she understands where JJ is coming from but they’ve tried their best to make him feel welcome, tried not to be nasty.
Michelle tells him he either wants to be part of the team or he doesn’t. Carrianne says if he’s not going to put 110% in this week, he might as well go home. JJ says he’ll happily go home because “this joint” irritates him.
“I’m not used to being around so many whinging, sooking, conniving, scheming people.” – JJ

Carrianne doesn’t have a lot of time for that attitude.
JJ says he’s not going to take it really seriously, if they think he will, they’ve got the wrong black duck!
Carrianne says she put up with it for a couple minutes. But then she exploded at him!
Carrianne tells him there’s so many people that would die for that opportunity. There’s a Blue member that is about to be sent home!
They each give each other the shits!
“I’m quite happy to pack my stuff and go.” – JJ
“Alright, well that needs to be done.” – Bryce. The others say it’s fine, off ya go!
Michelle reminds us that they’ve already been through this with Steven. And now having JJ doing the same thing is horrible. He’s letting the whole team down, but he doesn’t care about that, she says.

JJ says that he can understand why Steven left the team. He says Bryce is okay but the two girls would drive any man insane.

Cosi wanders in at this point and asks what’s going on and JJ says it’s home time!
Why? Well, he doesn’t want to be there.
Cosi says if he leaves now he’ll leave a bitter man and he won’t have achieved anything.

Cosi asks him why he wants to go home and JJ says he can’t handle all the sooking and crying, it’s not for him.
He says they think it’s a huge big deal to lose weight on the outside, but it’s not that hard. “You’re fat cause you eat too much, bottom line!” – JJ. And he’s spot on!

Michelle has an aside to point out that JJ’s been rude like that. She says it’s uncalled for.

Cosi asks him if he wants to go have a chat. But JJ says he’s dealing with people who, not being rude to Carrianne and her sister, but they give him the shits! And he’s got to live with them!
Michelle fires back that JJ gives a lot of other people the shits and JJ tells her he knows. He tries to tell her that’s why he’d rather be on his own but Michelle talks over him and tries to shout him down, telling him he shouldn’t be targeting Carrianne and Nicole. “On national TV!”
“They’re saying what irritates me? This irritates me! You irritate me! The whole system in this environment irritates me!” “You’re a pig.” “I’m not a pig, I speak me mind and you don’t like it. Fuck you!”
Bryce says, “Hey, hey, hey, dude there’s no need to say that.”

Nah, fuck that Bryce, you’re wrong. He has every right to say that. You don’t get a free pass to call someone a pig when they’re trying to be honest with you. He’s allowed to be irritated by the situation and he’s obviously been biting his tongue a hell of a lot since he’s come back.
Hate to say it, but I’m on JJ’s side here.

Anyway, Cosi tries to convince JJ to go for a walk and heads out. Michelle follows shortly after, muttering that she’s leaving before she says something she shouldn’t.

She says when she left the room she was really angry and upset with the way he’d spoken to her. Hello, you started the namecalling, moron.
Carrianne says she’s thickskinned, she can take his insults.
Michelle says he pisses her off, he’s rude, arrogant and when someone else speaks their mind he can’t handle it. Sound like someone else you know, Michelle? Didn’t you just blow up at JJ for daring to speak his mind?

JJ says he doesn’t want to quit like Steven, but he also doesn’t want to cop their crap.

Later, Bryce is looking around the House. Nicola and Nicole are making food. Bryce asks if they’ve seen JJ. Nicole says Bryce told them he’s probably disappeared.
Bryce wanders in to find Garry and Cosi still in bed and asks them if they know where JJ might have gone.
Someone asks him if JJ’s packed his bags but Bryce says no and says that JJ had said if the girls are going to cry, he’s out of there.

Bryce scoured the House and then wandered around the rest of the yard looking for him.
Alison says they looked out the window and could see Bryce wandering around, looking for JJ! She says she feels sorry for the Black Team because as much as JJ tries to deny it, Black has made a concious effort to make him feel welcome.
Bryce reports back to the girls that he can’t find JJ. He says he’s not in any of the gyms, “Surprise, surprise!”
Michelle says they’ve got training with The Commando soon, what’re they going to do?
In an aside, Michelle says she’s embarassed to be a Black Team member. Carrianne says JJ is no longer a Black Team member as far as she’s concerned.

Michelle and Shannan arrive at the House and Michelle says there’s a gut wrenching sickness when you know there’s been an elimination.
Michelle sees all her people in the lounge room and gives a bit of a squeal. She’s very happy to see them all. It meant all their hard work had really paid off.
Michelle’s pegged the win to the last training session, due to it being so close it must have been the very end bit that made the difference.
She’s also really happy with all the individual results but particularly Nicola’s.
They’re in the lead now she says and she wants them to just hit the accelerator!

Shannan arrives and sees only 3 people. And is shattered by how close the result was. He’s impressed by the numbers the remaining contestants loss, but still very subdued.
They explain how the voting went down. Shannan says Michael will be missed so much, he probably could have won the show. But he’s ready to continue on the outside.
When you get a kick, you get back up, Shannan says. He’s still proud of them.

Today’s not the day to flog them in training, they need a pick-me-up. So they head into the gym and chuck a huge swiss ball around, in a sort of swiss ball soccer game.
Kirsten says it was great to have Shannan play with them, because now there’s only 3 of them. Apparently when you concede a goal you have to do bouncing pushups. Down, pushup, jump up.
Kirsten also says Shannan gets really energetic and enthusiastic, which rubs off on them.
Alison and Sam are thrashing Kirsten and Shannan.
Sam says Shannan did well, really lifted the mood of the team. They went in there feeling sorry for themselves but they left feeling much more positive.

Black Team wander into the bush for their session.
“Where’s JJ?” “Don’t know!”
Steve says he feels let down and let the team down. No more immunities, he needs to be there working out with his team to help them get through it.
Lots of carrying tires around, pushups, jumping up and down.
Steve says the team being annoyed at JJ is great because he can use that and get them to put that into their exercise.
Carrianne says she works a lot harder when she’s angry or frustrated, when she’s got some emotion to vent. She’s thinking of tossing JJ when she tosses the tire.
Then they’re dragging tires across the grass. Then Steve decides to sit on it as well.
Bryce says he doesn’t know how much Steve weighs but with the theory of muscle weighing more than fat, he must weigh a ton!

Steve says just because JJ’s not here, they can’t be falling apart. They’ve got to work hard and work together to show Red and Blue that they mean business!

As a prize for winning the weigh in, Red are going indoor rock climbing! Apparently Nicola’s been asking Michelle if they can do it since she got there.
Garry, predictably, complains, saying that someone his size just wouldn’t make it.
Nicole’s never done it before and she’s scared of heights.
Michelle wants them to be able to trust each other, they’ll literally have each others lives in their hands. Or they will if they climb high enough…
It’ll help them to communicate better as well, so it ought to be good for teamwork.

Michelle deliberately puts Cosi and Nicole together to try and keep the communication lines open.
Cosi asks if he can belay Nicole from the car!
Nicole says in an aside that the one person she doesn’t trust and likes the least on her team is responsible for her life. She’s going to die!

Nicola’s looking forward to it. She’s wanted to do it for a long time and she’s curious to see if she can do it!

Michelle says indoor rock climbing is great exercise because you’re working legs and arms and by the time you get to the top you’re bathed in sweat!
Nicola and Cosi both get all the way to the top. Yay!

Nicole has a go as well. Cosi gives her some encouragement. Lets her know things like how small certain rocks are and stuff.
She looks down at one point and starts to panic as she sees how far she’s gone up already. She’s worried Cosi wouldn’t be holding on tight enough and she’d plummet to the ground. And she falls a couple of times, Nicola says, and crying. And so she says there was no way she was going to leave Nicole up there by herself.
Michelle is really pleased with Nicola looking after Nicole so much.
Nicole says her weight affects her life, she doesn’t go out, she doesn’t feel comfortable, she doesn’t like the way she looks, she hates being overweight, she’s not a confident person but she knows she can be.
Nicole doesn’t want to give up though, she was determined to show that she could persevere.
Michelle is really happy with her effort.
She finally reaches the top and comes back down and actually gives Cosi a big hug. Cosi’s grin seems a little pasted on…

Garry’s last. Michelle says that he’s really not built for it.
Garry says it’s a hard thing to get a 168kg man up the wall and you’ve got size 15 feet and the rocks are the size of your toenails.
He falls and we can see Michelle climbing alongside him. Looking deadsexy in her climbing gear!
Michelle keeps encouraging him, telling him he can do it, he’s almost at the top. He’s been training for weeks for this!
“My arms hurt!”
Michelle says when you’re absolutely exhausted and you’ve got nothing left in the tank, that’s when you start to learn more about yourself and what you’re really capable of!
Garry continues struggling up and finally reaches the top!
He’s quite happy with the result and his efforts this week.

JJ is still nowhere to be seen. Until he comes back up the drive being driven by one of the production crew.
“When I saw JJ being driven up the driveway I just thought, what a waste of time for the person that went and found him.” – Sam

JJ says all he did when he left the White House was jump the fence, avoid the security guard, run down the hill and went into the National Park. “It’s only illegal once you get caught!”

JJ wanders into the House and calls out for anyone home. Red and Blue are lurking upstairs trying not to laugh.
JJ goes into the lounge room to see his Team.
In an aside JJ says he just needed to go for a walk to cool off, like on the outside he’d’ve jumped in his truck and gone for a drive by himself. He needed to clear his head but of course he’d come back.
Michelle asks him where he’s been and JJ says he felt like going for a walk, it was getting pretty heated in there and his comments weren’t, you know…
Michelle says what’s pissing her off is that they should be working out right now, because that’s what the show is about, yet they’re wasting time on him because he’s walking the streets.
JJ grins and says they should have gone for a walk with him and they would’ve been able to get a work out!

Carrianne is unimpressed and says he shouldn’t be making a joke out of it. Why won’t he take it seriously? “I just went for a walk, it’s no big deal.” They tell him he could walk around the yard. He says it’s the same sights, he’s got to see different things. It’s why he drives trucks, he likes seeing different things, he gets bored easy.
Bryce says he’s making a mockery of why the Black Team is there. They’re working hard to achieve their goals and he’s just throwing it back in their face, basically.
JJ asks what time The Commando is coming. “You’re a joke!” One of the girls.
JJ asks why they’re taking it so seriously. “Because we actually, genuinely, want to be here!” – Michelle
Cosi says it begs the question as to whether JJ really wants to be there. Cosi thinks it’s all talk, he loves being in there and stirring the pot.
JJ’s had enough of being bashed in the lounge room and heads to the kitchen for a drink. The other three look a tad pissed.
“It’s just unfair on us to have to put up with this shit!” – Michelle.

Now it’s time for their phone call with Bob and Jillian, hooray!
Michelle says she’d do absolutely anything to see them right now.
They all really miss each other. Awww!
Bob says they know there’s a new team member. Bob says hi to JJ and JJ says hiii.
Jillian asks JJ to step out of the room for a second, JJ says “Okay Gilligan!”
Bryce found his “whatever” attitude to being asked to step out of the room during a conversation with people he’d never met, disrespectful. He says they’re very, very intelligent, kind, caring people and it’s flippant to speak to them the way he had.

Uh, no. It was flippant and disrespectful to ask an invited member of a phone call to leave for very transparent reasons. If Bob and Jillian wanted to talk to the other 3 alone then they should have talked to them alone. Asking JJ to leave part way through is phenomenally rude.

JJ says all he hears is Bob and Jillian, Bob and Jillian, America, Bob and Jillian, Bob and Jillian, Steven left us. It’s like a broken record!

Jillian asks the other 3 what they really think of him. “He’s a fuckwit. We’re having a bit of troubles with him.” They say he doesn’t want to be part of the team, he calls Jillian Gilligan. Jillian is all, “*gasp!*” Bob has a bit of a smirk on his face as he says, “Oh no!”
JJ says until they get here they’re just Bob and Gilligan to him.
The others tell Bob and Gilligan that he doesn’t want to be there, thinks it’s all a joke.
Bob tells them they’ll have a chat to him seperately.

Michelle says she can’t be in the same room as him, if she’s in the same room as him she’ll say something she may regret and probably shouldn’t say but she can’t bite her tongue anymore. Apparently calling people a pig is biting your tongue.

And then in another sign of disrespect, Bob and Jillian ask to speak to JJ with the other 3 still present.
Bob tells him the better they work together the better they’ll do in the house.
JJ says it’s hard to pass your opinion when your opinion is always being overridden. He doesn’t get along with Michelle very well, he finds it hard to take her attitude at times and she probably finds it hard to take his attitude at times.
Bob tries to play peacemaker and says Michelle needs to stop her attitude with him and he needs to stop his attitude with her. The more they get along, the more they work together, they’ll be a force to be reckoned with.
Michelle, Bryce and Carrianne are told they need to embrace the new teammate. Michelle says they have tried, Bob says they need to try again!
Carrianne says they know that. They all need to try again, Bob says. All four of them, JJ has to try again too. Somehow you have to start fresh.

JJ says, “Whilst I am here I will give it a go, I will try to gel with them but hey, they’ve got to meet me halfway.” Spot on!

Bob says they’re looking forward to working with him. Jillian says she would also like for him to call her Jillian, because that’s her name. JJ says no worries. But Gilligan is quite cute, JJ says. Jillian says she doesn’t think so and he’ll agree if he tries to say it to her face!

Time for The Warehouse!
Cosi’s happy, since he’s the Biggest Loser he gets to choose.
Carrianne says for most of Black this is a new experience, though JJ has been through it before.

Ajay’s wearing a nice canary yellow top with a nice black skirt. Very pretty!

Ajay explains the concept for Black. Then goes through a bunch of other stuff that’s happened. Snoozefest.

Cosi gets to choose one option, which his team will eat. Black and Blue will have the other option.

Today the choices are…
1. Chicken, fish and other meat.
2. Vegetables, fresh fruit, oysters.

But actually, the choice is between “Cooked Food” and “Uncooked Food”.
Selecting Cooked means everything you eat must be cooked on a BBQ. That includes breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Nicola says she loves breakfast, it’s the biggest meal of the day and she couldn’t think of anything worse than trying to cook porridge on a BBQ!

But that’s not all. The food they get will be as unprepared as possible. So you have to gut the fish, carve beef, presumably take the gizzards out of the chicken.

If they choose Uncooked then all the vegetables, fruits and any meat must be served uncooked.

Michelle is praying they don’t get Uncooked because she doesn’t eat seafood at the best of times.

Cosi can confer with his teammates but the decision is ultimately his.
Garry wants cooked because he loves his cooked meat and fish and there’s more variety.
Nicola thinks the healthier option would be the uncooked, because with cooked you’ve got the fats and the meat. With uncooked you don’t get any additives.
Cosi says what he has against the Cooked is that it looks to be a pain in the butt to prep all the food. Neither he or Garry are in love with the kitchen!
Garry has an aside to say he gets annoyed in the Warehouse because his team always picks the option that he doesn’t like!

Blue are having a chat about which option they’d like. Sam doesn’t like seafood so they’re hoping for the cooked option.
JJ says there’s no point arguing the point because they don’t get their own way anyway, so he figures on standing there and catching 40 winks while the decision is made.

Cosi decides they’ll go for the uncooked option, and Garry looks unimpressed.
Black and Blue have Cooked for the rest of the week.
Michelle says she was surprised, she doesn’t think Red thought it through. They didn’t think of the protein side of it. Halfway through the week if they’re not getting enough protein they won’t have the energy to be working out!

Cosi says there’s no winners this week and it’ll probably hurt them all equally this time.

Garry is asked if he’s happy with the decision. Because Ajay is a stirrer!
Garry says he’s not a big fan of raw veggies, but it’ll be all good.
Garry has an aside to say he’s annoyed that his opinion didn’t really rate. He reckons he’s managing to hide his displeasure but I think anyone who looks at him can tell when he’s displeased. But mostly because he’s always displeased.

Alison’s okay with the Cooked option, though she’s never gutted a fish before she’s done a lot of things on the show, so she’s looking forward to it.

JJ says Cosi has made a good choice because no matter how you prepare the veggies they’ll be good for you. He’s concerned about this week because Red are strong and fit while there’s some conflict among Black.
Bryce doesn’t feel it’s the time or place to be airing the dirty laundry.
“Typical JJ conflict, me versus the world!” Sam laughs at that.
JJ says that this time it’s only against 3 people who’ve been to the States. Michelle asks what that’s got to do with it. JJ says they’ve been out with Bob and Gilligan a fair bit. Bryce says, “Aw, dude, get over it!”
Michelle says it frustrated her that they’d given him a second chance not long ago and now he’s throwing it back in their face.

Ajay tells them all that they’re just days away from news so big it’ll change their life forever!
Alison thinks maybe someone will be eliminated. “Oh my God, I’m going home!”
Cosi thinks maybe someone will be coming back into the White House!

Tomorrow night, Steve and JJ square off.
“It wouldn’t take much to be a damn truckie!” “It wouldn’t take much to join the army.. *inaudible*”

Temptation spins out of control… though that could be another bad pun, since it’s to do with spinning table and plates on it. I guess they spin the wheel and have to eat whatever is on the plate.
Immunity is on the table, though… As is “Spin Again” and a 1 hour massage!

And there’s also some kind of Indecent Proposal. But only for $50,000, weak!
