Tonight on The Biggest Loser it’s time for the Week 7 weigh in!

Also, we find out if Blue can manage to do 43 chinups as they bet the other teams they could during the Challenge on Friday night.

Would you like to know more?

Sam’s telling us that he’s a very confident poker player on the outside, and today’s the day to start being the confident person he wants to be!
Alison and Kirsten are looking pretty shocked but Sam had told them on the way to the table, trust him!
Kirsten says that Sam is the mastermind of the Blue team. Not only did he pick the team to begin with, he’s been the master strategist all the way through.

Cosi says the best they can hope for is for Blue to fail, since then it’s simply between Black and Red.
Michelle doesn’t think they’ll be able to do it.

“Please Lord, let me get at least 10!” – Alison. She gets to 10 fairly easily, then goes past 15. 20. 21. 22. 23. Drop. Dang.
23 leaves only 20 to go!
Kirsten powers through 10 of her own fairly easily.
“Kirsten’s been given the nickname The Enforcer and she enforced the shit out of that crossbar!” – Sam

Cosi says they were praying for a lightning strike to strike down Kirsten.

42. 43. That’s it! They romped it home!
“Do you need another 43?” – Sam, with a fist pump.

Sam says he really enjoyed getting to stand there triumphantly.

Blue have to choose right away who will get immunity. Sam asks the girls if they want it and they say no, Sam says he doesn’t want it either.
None of them could choose between any of the Black team members. So that leaves a Red team member.

Sam says to Ajay that some people need it more than others, and they’ve decided to give it to Garry. “He’s still got heaps of weight to lose.. no offense!”
Bryce says they’d’ve done the same.
Alison says by giving it to Red they have a chance to split the alliance, plus it keeps a good person in the game!

Garry’s pleased to have immunity, unsurprisingly.

Now we get a special catch up with Michael!
As we’ve already seen, Michael’s doing well on the outside. He’s looking very strong and not really looking overweight at all. He says he looks his age again and he has a spark in his eye again.
He’s a small steak off his goal weight, he says. 200 grams!
“No more tears!” – Michael

Cosi says Garry having immunity will ruffle some feathers, but it only matters if they lose the weigh in he says.
The House is very divided, Cosi says. Blue and Black have sort of teamed up, making it 6 versus 3.
Garry thinks Blue giving him immunity is a masterstroke. Not only can they get rid of Cosi potentially but now he’ll feel like he owes them a little.

Sam talking to Blue says much the same, they sort of have Black on their side and now they sort of have Garry on side, too.
Sam says Garry’s a great guy and Alison says that Garry knew he’d be gone if they went to elimination.
Sam thinks that giving immunity to Garry will put Cosi and Nicola offside. But he doesn’t care what they think!

Black are off for Last Chance in the bush with Commando Steve.
Bryce says that it’s very important because if they go to elimination, “rock, paper scissors” may come into it. He’s been living with the two chicks since entering the game and he’d feel terrible having to write either name down.
Carrianne says much the same thing.

Steve says that it doesn’t matter if it’s wet and raining, still got to get the job done!
Bryce says that a few months ago he’d’ve been annoyed to even get his shoes dirty. Now when Steve tells him to drop face first into a puddle, he does it!

Carrianne says today’s work out included a lot of cardio, a lot of sprinting, not a lot of recovery time between the sprints. She says it helps burn fat better than just pressing weights all the time.

Steve gets them all to lie face down in the mud for a bit to think about what they’re doing on the show.
Carrianne says she wants her life back, she wants to learn to like herself. She has really sore shins, apparently, so running is painful.
Steve says that Carrianne just sucks it up and gets on with it. Carrianne says she was in agony for most of the session but didn’t want to let the others in on it.
Carrianne says she doesn’t want to go home yet, Bob and Jillian aren’t back and she has the lowest percentage in the House so far.

Steve asks who’s worried about the weigh in and they all raise their hands.
Carrianne’s worried because Red pulled low numbers last week so they’ll probably pull big numbers this week.
Steve says that so long as they can put their hand on their heart and say they’ve given it everything they’ve got, that’s all he can ask. You’re Black Team, you’re stronger than the others, rah rah rah!

Shannan rocks up to the House and says something different for once! He says his greatest concern after a challenge is that his team has suffered no injuries.
He says when he got in he could tell that they were trying the “stone faced” thing again.
“You’s won it, didn’t ya?” He stares at Kirsten who cracks a smile.
Sam says Shannan was stoked to hear they’d won because it was obviously one they’d struggle with.

Shannan says Sam knew the physical capabilities of his team, but Sam the gambler backed himself in!
So they won last week’s challenge and the weigh in and the mini challenge and now another challenge!
They tell him about the reward and giving it to Garry. “So he owes us?” – Shannan

Shannan’s happy that they’re finally playing with a good strategy. Shannan tells them they need to put pressure on Garry, tell him they gave him immunity, now go get rid of Cosi!

Michelle says that this Last Chance will be the hardest workout they’ve done since getting in the House. Just like all the other Last Chances were the hardest!

Nicola says she doesn’t want to put Cosi’s name on a card but if they go to elimination, she’ll have no choice. So they’ve got to win the weigh in. She’s hoping Garry doesn’t slack off just because he has immunity.

Michelle’s focus today is on Garry, trying to make sure he works as hard as he can. And she’s tailored the workout to be as hard on him as possible, lots of getting on the floor, then back up again, over and over.
Michelle says that Garry doing arches is really hard because he’s about 160kg at the moment and most of his weight is around his core.
Michelle knows that in very hard training sessions, Garry gives up sometimes. So she reminds him about wanting to impress his Mum and Dad.
She says when she pushes him, he gets angry, which is what she wants!

Michelle wants Garry to know that they need him!
Cosi and Nicola need Garry to get them over the line. It’s crunch time and he’s got to get as much out of himself as he can!

And now it’s time for weigh in!

Alison’s worried because she’s not sure she’s worked hard enough. Bryce says that the first team to go down to 2 people is going to do it tough, so he doesn’t want it to be Black!

Ajay’s wearing some kind of grey-ish dress thing. Strange colour, looks alright though!

Sam says he really doesn’t want to go to weigh in again because it will be just as hard as when they had to eliminate Michael.

Ajay thinks Michelle’s decision to not take the money and run was brave. Sam thinks it was a mistake still!
Bob and Jillian are coming… how far away are they? Wait and see!
Alison thinks maybe Black don’t realise how competitive the House is and they’re maybe not doing quite enough work.

Garry’s up first!

Garry’s previous weight: 165kg
Garry’s current weight: 158.9kg
Garry’s loss: 6.1kg

“YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” He’s very happy it seems.
Kirsten thinks it’s a good figure but they’re still in the game, she thinks Sam could maybe match that.
Ajay asks Garry why he thinks Blue gave him immunity. “Because I’m a nice guy? Ha ha ha.”
Cosi thinks it’s a calculate decision, not to do with him being a nice guy or needing it.

Nicola’s previous weight: 92.2kg
Nicola’s current weight: 88.2kg
Nicola’s loss: 4kg

“Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!” She’s very happy with that. Ajay says it’s quite a turnaround from last week, did she do anything different? Nicola says she tried a lot harder, but she thought she tried really hard last week, too!

Cosi’s previous weight: 107.8kg
Cosi’s current weight: 102.2kg
Cosi’s loss: 5.6kg

Puts Garry to shame. Again!
Kirsten thinks they could be in trouble now.
Garry says Cosi is a very determined man. Bryce says he’s looking really fit and trim, he could probably walk out on the street and not look any different to anyone else. Michelle thinks he looks great but everyone’s fed up with the way Cosi is playing the game.
Ajay asks if Cosi stuck to the Warehouse green food diet. Apparently JJ gave him some chicken and Sam gave him some beef.
Alison says if he’s done something wrong then he’ll go out of his way to make sure everyone knows it wasn’t actually him, it was someone else!
Ajay says he didn’t stick to the diet 100% then? And Cosi says no, and he thinks everyone else would have stepped out of line at least once as well. Kirsten gives a slight shake of her head.
Michelle says Cosi is very manipulative.
Cosi says he couldn’t care less, if it’s that big a concern, penalise him! He’s top of the weightloss board and he thinks that ought to be commended, he’s very proud of what he’s done.

Red’s total loss: 15.7kg
Red’s Percentage: 4.3%

Nicola thinks that will be plenty to get them over the line this week.

Blue need to have lost a combined 13.5kg. Kirsten’s fairly confident they can do that!

Kirsten’s up first.

Kirsten’s previous weight: 97.3kg
Kirsten’s current weight: 93.4kg
Kirsten’s loss: 3.9kg

Not bad. She’s happy with that, she says she can see the changes in her body very easily, she looks a lot thinner in the face too.
Cosi says Kirsten is looking great and she’s a real contender for the title.
Alison says the more weight they lose the more confident and happier they feel and it’s really starting to show with Kirsten.

9.6kg to go to stay safe!

Alison’s previous weight: 95kg
Alison’s current weight: 91.6kg
Alison’s loss: 3.4kg

Alison says she was a little bit surprised, but happy! Her littlest girl started school for the first time this week. So it must be late January in the House by now? Or February even?
It’s also her son’s birthday this week, so she’ll now officially miss all her children’s birthdays!
She says that it’s her kids that keep her there, not that make her run away. She wants to be a good Mum to them!

That leaves 6.2kg for Sam. That’s a hard ask. Cosi thinks he can probably do it, but has he done enough this week?

Sam’s previous weight: 119.2kg
Sam’s current weight: 116kg
Sam’s loss: 3.2kg

Aww man.
Ajay asks if he feels that he’s let the team down and he says yes but both Kirsten and Alison say no!
Sam feels like he should at least match the percentages of the girls.
It’s not enough to beat the Reds, but it’s still moving forward, Ajay says.

Blue’s total loss: 10.5kg
Blue’s percentage: 3.37%

Red are now safe from elimination. Sam says their only hope now was that Black would do even worse, friends or not!

10.4kg is what Black will need to beat Blue. Alison says she was nervous when that was announced because this is only their second week, so Black ought to do quite well.

Carrianne’s previous weight: 95.1kg
Carrianne’s current weight: 92.2kg
Carrianne’s loss: 2.9kg

Michelle thinks it’s amazing, Carrianne’s the one that keeps her motivated.
Carrianne doesn’t think she’s done yet, but if she goes home, she goes home. She’s not sure she’s done enough to resist the temptations on the outside yet.

Black still need 7.5kg to overtake Blue.

Michelle’s previous weight: 101.8kg
Michelle’s current weight: 100.4kg
Michelle’s loss: 1.4kg

A-haaaaaaaaaaaaa! Michelle says she was shattered and embarassed. She wasn’t expecting a huge number but wasn’t expecting something that low, either!
Cosi says that Michelle made the decision to turn down the $50,000. If it’d been him as soon as he’d made the decision he’d be going 110% in the gym and with his nutrition, which Michelle hasn’t done and it’s been reflected in the scales!
Michelle still says she has no regrets!
If Black lose the weigh in, how hard will it be to vote someone out? Michelle says it’ll be very hard.

Alison has a bit of a good feeling after Michelle weighs in. She knows Bryce is a guy and guys can do good numbers, but she still feels good!

6.1kg to go. That’s a tall order. That’s what Garry lost and he’s a much bigger dude.
Sam had Bryce pegged for 6kg, so he thought with only 6.1kg to go it should be doable.

Bryce’s previous weight: 109.5kg
Bryce’s current weight: 107.2kg
Bryce’s loss: 2.3kg

Yay! Blue are safe from elimination!
oh, sorry. Yes, Bryce says it was embarassing to get 2.3kg for so much hard work.
He feels like he’s let his team down. Ajay tells him he’s lost 30kg total, wouldn’t his family be proud of that? And Bryce says not really because it’s the difference number that counts right now.

Black’s total loss: 6.6kg
Black’s percentage: 2.15%

Red Team win overall, with Cosi being the week’s biggest loser.

Black Team now has to head to elimination, to bring them down to 2. Which will mean they’ll’ve lost a total of 3 members. When it was a 4 member team originally. Nice work!

Tomorrow night, elimination hijinks ensue!
Cosi tries a sneaky tactic of some kind, to try and get Bryce eliminated it seems.
Ajay mentions that they don’t want the enemy controlling who stays and who goes. Maybe we’ll finally get a hung vote!

Plus later this week the White House receives some unexpected visitors.
In the form of ex-contestants! Including Adro, Courtney, Damien, Munnalita, Pati and I think one or two other people but I’m too lazy to work it out. I’m sure someone will post the list as a comment though, right? :-)
