TBL 5×10: Wayne’s Big Reward

Previously on The Biggest Loser a battle of Brains and Brawn that Caitlin and Daina won, earning immunity from elimination for themselves.

Tonight training gets tougher but it’s the mental battle that’s proving the toughest for some.

Michelle and Shannan jog up to Camp Biggest Loser for another day’s training.
Shannan wants to rebuild his team’s confidence as they’ve taken a bit of a whipping in the last few days. Shannan comes in and finds his team already warmed up and training on the treadmills and spin bikes.
They’re doing interval training today. Tibata? Something like that.

There’s 8 different exercises and you do each one for 20 seconds on then 10 seconds off and you repeat that same exercise 4 more times. Then you move on to the next exercise.
Phoebe explains that interval training works because your heart rate goes up and down a lot. Which is good, I guess?

Then a tension breaking training session with the Waratahs, which was pretty awesome.

Tonight another Brains vs Brawn challenge. Couples vs Couples this time, not training team vs training team.

TBL 5×07: Weigh-in Night. Spoiler: They’ve lost weight!

Previously on The Biggest Loser Daina totally pigged out on desserts to save her sister from elimination!

Commando Steve returned for the first time this year to have the contestants drag a bulldozer through the mud then dig up a bunch of dirt. Awesome!

Tonight, Geoff has to face reality? Wayne sees red during training with Shannan.
And some decision offers someone a second chance which has something to do with the weigh-in but it’s all a bit vague. Good thing the episode starts right after the credits, then.
