TBL Australia 4×22: Tempting Temptations for the easily Tempted…

Previously on The Biggest Loser Amanda and Stewart got sent home and Nathan and Andrew got targeted by the rest of the contestants and now must fight to stay in the competition!

Tonight? Andrew’s future is in jeopardy as he has some kind of knee injury.
Temptation tonight sees contestants flying solo in a fancy one seater open air restaurant…
And Bob makes his “shocking” announcement. Spare me.


Michelle goes for a chat with her boys. She’s ready to train but Andrew isn’t. His knee is a bit sore.
He’s gone for an MRI and he has a stress fracture up the top of his shin bone.
Michelle’s very disappointed though she tries to hide it from Andrew so he wouldn’t be crushed.
Andrew says he can still do upper body workouts, just can’t do much more than walk or stand still. Nothing load bearing on his legs like squats.
Rehab for that sort of injury? About 3 months. Ouch. They might be screwed!

“Just a minor setback. It’s not like he’s got a broken leg or anything!” – Nathan
“We could arrange it…” – Michelle. Mean!

Everyone heads off for a waddle. Nobody knows what to expect, except those of us at home who know it’s Temptation day!
Ajay’s standing in a clearing with a pretty red dress on. And the contestants conveniently know to stop about 10m away from her. Go figure.

Immunity is up for grabs again today. But Nathan and Andrew won’t be eligible for it because they’re on the one versus six thing. The only way they can stay safe is to lose more than the other six combined at the weigh-in.
So they don’t get to take part at all, not even to get the power of The Walk, which is pretty unfair!

Ben and Sean had discussed before that they’d probably go for immunity if it was available.
If nobody eats then nobody gets immunity… and Nathan and Andrew get the “power” of The Walk. Andrew says he hopes somebody does eat because he doesn’t want to do that again!

Ahhh but another twist. They’re not allowed to discuss whether they’d go for it or not. They have to go in one by one.
There’s a table full of deliciousness inside the one person restaurant. You can eat as many plates of food as you like. But once you start eating a meal you have to finish.
The couple with the highest combined calorie intake will win!
Holly says that they’re “working for the boys” this week so they’re looking to partake to try and get some extra calories into them.

Sharif’s up first. He looks at all the food and is shocked by the panna cotta being 880 calories, despite only weighing 100g!
Sharif sits there a while trying to decide while the chef tries to talk him into eating something. At least it’ll be fresh for once!
And then we cut to an ad in the middle of whatever Sharif was saying. Nice work, Ch10.

Teresa’s next up… Er, Sharif?
For those in Sydney who missed it, Sharif ended up eating a chicken parmigiana (spelling?) which was something around 500 calories?
Teresa also boggles at the panna cotta. She’s shattered because she loves panna cotta!

Then we see Sharif get back into the lounge. He’s doing some calculations in his head. He says you only have to be embarassed about partaking if you’ve done it for the wrong reasons. If you can justify it, it’s fine.

Meanwhile Teresa has decided on having a slice of vegetarian pizza. God damn hippies!

Sharif has finished his calculations and starts walking and jogging around the room and doing pushups and situps. He’d eaten calories he wasn’t meant to so he’s getting right on burning them off!

Next up is Cameron. Uh ohhhh…
Sammy’s a bit worried. She was giving Cameron the evil eye while Ajay was talking, hoping he’d not take temptation.
Chef guy asks Cameron if he sees anything he likes and Cameron says he sees everything he likes!
Cameron says the calories aren’t that high, he could work them off with a bit of extra time in the gym.

Teresa gets into the lounge room and she wonders what Sharif has eaten since he’s working out like a madman!
Teresa tells Sharif that she had a bit of pizza so they’re hoping it’s enough!

Cameron’s still tempted… but he tells the chef he’s just not hungry right now. He’s on a mission and the only way to get there is to be alive and his daughter would kill him!
Cameron says he had to stay disciplined and support Sammy.

And that’s who gets to go next!
Sammy says the Italian food looks awesome. She’s very worried that Cameron would have had a go, especially since he could tell the Chef what he wanted and it would get made for him!
Sammy doesn’t think her and her Dad are in any trouble since they didn’t vote out Nathan and Andrew and they’re not one of the bigger threats.
But still, she’s worried her Dad has had a go!

Ben’s turn now. He’s worried he’d be letting Sean down by not eating OR by eating because they couldn’t discuss it!

Sammy gets back to the lounge and her eyes nearly bug out of her head when she finds out her Dad didn’t partake!

Meanwhile Ben is still staring at all the foods, wondering would Sean eat or would he not eat.
Eventually he decides to pass on it altogether.

Sean goes for a wander now. Sean says he’d’ve eaten pretty much all of the things on the table in the past and nevermind eating just a slice of pizza, he’d’ve eaten the whole pizza!
Eventually he doesn’t even answer the Chef he just stands up and walks off! He tells us he has belief in the rest of his team.

Holly’s not worried about being sent home because her and Mel have teamed up with Nathan and Andrew, they just would like to maybe have the power of The Walk.

Sean gets high fives for not taking Temptation. The others are a little puzzled. Everyone thought they’d take part for sure.
Sean says that he decided he doesn’t need it – if they’re going to get voted out it’ll be for the right reasons.

Holly makes a meal of her slice of pizza! She says that she decided to do it because they might get immunity quite cheaply.
Mel’s decided she doesn’t want any. She doesn’t feel threatened, the boys have given their word that they won’t vote for them…

Bob’s very tempted as well. He’s the biggest loser so far, every week, so they kind of need immunity. But he’s also worried about who else might have gone for it.

Mel walks into the lounge room wiping the corners of her mouth and grinning.
Mel’s a little disappointed in Holly. Sammy’s a little mystified thinking Holly and Mel don’t need the immunity so why would Holly have eaten, Holly didn’t vote for Nathan and Andrew and they love the girls now, so whyyyy?

Bob joins the growing ranks of people who weren’t tempted!
Tiffany has to face up to it next. She’s worried not just about herself but also the other couples relying on her and Bob doing well.
Tiffany decides against Temptation as well.

Julie’s turn! She and Meaghan feel quite safe because they pose no threat to Nathan and Andrew.
Julie doesn’t want to offend the chef but nothing for her, thanks!

Last but not least, Meaghan!
Meaghan’s a little worried she’ll be too tempted.

Meaghan thinks being safe for another week would be totally awesome.
“But I was more tempted by the chef than the food.” – Meaghan gives a little giggle.
“Not even something sweet?” – Chef guy. Meaghan just smiles and shakes her head.

Everyone heads into the lounge to find out who has immunity.
Ajay goes down the line, tallying up the amounts of calories each couple took. Most have taken 0.

Holly ate a piece of pizza which was 180 calories, so really not too bad at all.

Teresa and Sharif ate a piece of pizza and a chicken parmigiana. The chicken was 550 calories. Nathan stares at Sharif.
Mel says you’re stupid if you think Teresa and Sharif haven’t been playing the game from the start.

Nathan says Ben and Sean aren’t playing the game the right way since they didn’t partake. Andrew admires them backing themselves but they might’ve got themselves a ticket home!

This means Sharif and Teresa have immunity and the “power” of The Walk.

Then everyone wanders out onto the parade ground and Tiffany figures it’s time for Bob to get another prize for being a winner again!

Last week, Bob reminds us, his wife, Tiffany’s husband (Bob’s son) and their little girl came to visit and Bob and Tiff cherished it very much.

Nathan laughs at Bob getting another prize.
But then Ajay says due to exceptional circumstances, Bob will not be receiving his prize.

Ad break!
Just get on with it already…

Bob puts on a good act of looking disappointed.
Then he announces that he’s decided to give the visit to somebody else instead, because it was such a wonderful experience for him last week.

But the question is, who gets the prize?
Everyone stands around wondering for a bit. Thinking how awesome it’d be if it was their family.

Then two tiny heads pop up the top of the stairs and then the camera swaps to Nathan who stares for a second then goes aww.. it’s my babies! Then he starts crying a bit.
“GET OVER HERE YOU KIDDIES!” – Nathan jogs towards them while his kids run across the parade ground to get picked up and cuddled by their Dad. Awwww!
Nathan says he’s missed his kids. Andrew’s emotional too since they’re his niece and nephew.
Nathan comes back to the line of contestants and gives Bob a huge hug.

Then two more tiny heads pop up and Nathan gets a big stupid grin on his face. The new kids run across the parade ground for more hugs!
Bob asks Tiffany, who is in tears, if it was a good choice and she can only nod.
Then Nathan’s woman comes up the stairs. Sahra says, “He’s running faster than he used to be!” Sahra’s one of the kiddies.
Nathan says his wife is beautiful and he loves her, with everything he’s got. Awwwwwwwwwwww!
Lots of kissing. Is this a kissing show now? :(

Nathan takes Aleisha (?) upstairs to show her the dream outfit he’s got. He says he’s hoping to fit into it for the eventually wedding. He didn’t much like how he looked in it last time.
He says it’s a fantastic motivator for him to make sure he doesn’t let her down.

Nathan and his peeps get to head off to the beach-y area Tiff and Bob went to.
Aleisha’s amazed at the change in Nathan. Usually it’s her telling him she doesn’t need to add this or that on his food.
Nathan’s also really happy that he can run around with his kids and goof off a lot now. Before he wouldn’t get to do that, he’d just stay on the ground.

Nathan says he thinks about her every day, during their “alone time”. She tells him he’s doing well and he has to keep going!
Nathan has become more focused and determined as a result, he tells us.

Tomorrow night Holly and Mel have made a new enemy, apparently. “It’s game on and I don’t care who I step on!”
Also, Emazon is unleashed. *yawn*
