Previously on The Biggest Loser Caitlin was voted out, Rick got the Double Bracelet from her, the contestants looked hot and/or cute after their makeovers and then cried a lot when reunited with their families.

Tonight, Temptation beckons. Lots of hot chips and lollies and chocolatey treats, sure to be tempting to the remaining Campers who’ve been without such delicacies for quite a while.
Well, most of them. Some have totally pigged out at previous Temptations and you would hope they’d not be indulging yet again…

All the contestants file into one of the lounge rooms and Hayley is standing there with a huge shocked grin on her face. She has to ask who they all are!
Can’t believe they didn’t have her along to the makeover session!

Hayley then talks a lot of doom and gloom about the weigh-in and the possibility of elimination. And of course Immunity is on offer at Temptation, again.
They’ll be taken one by one into a special, maaagical room, full of delicious foods that they’d all have enjoyed in years past.
They’ll be away from the eyes of their competitors who will have no idea if anyone has taken part.

And Immunity will go to whoever eats the highest number of calories. Unless nobody eats, in which case Immunity will stay with Phoebe.
Rick tells us that won’t happen, he won’t allow that to happen. So I guess we have at least one taker!

Phoebe gets to go in first to have a look and there’s pies and sausage rolls and lollies and drinks and cakes and a chocolate fountain with strawberries to dip into the chocolate and…
Phoebe’s very tempted and she says that if she’s going to eat she wants to savour it as she knows she’ll have to work it off. But she wants to enjoy it first.
She finally settles on a shot glass of chocolate buds/freckles. 98 calories. She grabs those because she really wanted them.
Then she decides she should eat at least one other thing so that if Rick or David go in and only eat one thing.
So she grabs a shotglass of sour worms then a shotglass of strawberries and cream lollies.

Then she sits down and enjoys every mouthful! She says it was delicious, scrumptious and awesome all at the same time!

That’s about 300 calories so far. But there’s a donut for 350 calories. So maybe she should eat one more shotglass of chocolates?
Oh yeah, it sounds like a real effort for you to do that!
Phoebe says that it was about 60% enjoyment, 40% strategy. She didn’t gorge herself silly, she had 4 shotglasses of chocolates and lollies, “Shoot me, I’m a criminal!”

Next up is David. They really shouldn’t’ve sent the contestants back out to the group afterwards, some of them might smell of pie or something when they’re done!

David looks around and is drawn to the hot foods first. It’s all stuff he’d’ve eaten in his old life and the calorie counts weren’t too bad…

After an ad break David’s still weighing it up. The pies are 378 calories and sausage rolls are 517 calories?! Man, I always thought pies would be way more calorific!
David says he probably could’ve got down about 2,000 calories worth of pies and sausage rolls but that may not have been enough to win anyway so it’s just not worth it. He waves goodbye to all the food and leaves without eating anything. Good lad!

Lisa’s turn next. She wanders around boggling at all the food. She’s never seen so much food in one place before and she finds it quite amusing. And is perfectly okay with not taking any of it. She walks right around the foods and heads right back out again.

Rick’s turn. Heeeere we go.
Rick knows it’s in his best interest to play today because Immunity ensures he’ll be there another week at least. The bigger gamble is to not eat at all since you can burn the calories off if you have to.
He grabs a sausage roll, a cheeseburger and a cup of chips. He used to eat such things all the time but he says the first bite tasted nothing like it used to.
Before starting the sausage roll he puts some tomato sauce on for another 14 calories!
Rick figures the only one who might challenge him for calories would be Shannon since he’s a big pizza and cheeseburger fan and he’d probably be able to knock off 3,000 calories and still burn that off.
Rick moves on to the hot chips finally. They’re not real nice, apparently, particularly after not having potato in so long.

So he gets a coke to wash it down and chugs the whole thing down at once!
Then he figures he may as well have dessert while he’s there. So he grabs a delicious looking donut! Chocolate. With sprinkles!

Then he’s trying to figure out if he should go for more hot food or more sweet food. He’s done about 2,000 calories so far but he knows that’s probably not going to be enough.
So he grabs a lamington. Which has jam and cream inside. Yum! He used to get them all the time with his pie and sausage rolls, he says.
After that he grabs a glass of creaming soda to wash it down.
While he was making that decision you could see the sweat beading on his forehead.
After eating another burger he’s struggling even more.

But he finally leaves the room. I shudder to think what the total will be.
He says he got no enjoyment out of it, all the fat and stuff isn’t sitting so well.

Shannon’s turn in the room of doom, now.
First thing he notices is the smell. There’s a chocolate fountain right next to the door which Shannon says he could’ve dived straight into. Hayley wasn’t lying when she said it was food heaven.
Shannon says he’s not tempted by the food, just the immunity.

He starts doing his sums for how many calories he’d tally up from things. And he knows that if Rick has eaten, he’ll have gone for the higher calorie things and though Rick is a big boy, Shannon is bigger and can eat more!

Shannon’s still looking around after an ad break and is thinking about it. He’s certain he’d enjoy some of them, most even, but he doesn’t want to be seen as someone who’s eaten a ridiculous amount of food to stay another week because it shows he hasn’t learnt anything.
So he leaves without eating a darn thing. Crazy!

Only two people in the end have taken part in Temptation.
Lisa, Shannon and David all passed.

Rick and Phoebe both took part.

Everyone’s giggling as Hayley says Phoebe ate lollies and chocolates…
Phoebe’s total calories: 372.

Rick’s eaten quite a bit too much, it seems. Everyone is laughing, including Rick.
Rick’s total calories: 2,791.

OUCH. Hayley says he certainly left nothing to chance. Everyone congratulates him and you know what, I do too. He has Immunity for this Elimination and he’s not really that heavy anymore. He’ll work that off within a day or two and not be too disadvantaged, given the benefit of getting another week in the house!

Shannon’s pretty smug about not having eaten, especially as now he doesn’t have to confront Shannan to say he’d eaten 3,000 calories or something!

MEANWHILE, in the Northern Territory, Commando Steve is still giving his team a bit of a flogging!
Today they’re going to learn to train like real soldiers!
Drum, net, poles into a rubber dinghy, swim the dinghy to the far bank. With Steve in it!
Apparently Phil’s not the strongest of swimmers. And they’re fully clothed and booted which adds to the difficulty.

But while it’s a hard slog Phil keeps remembering his shocking weigh-in.

Steve eventually grows bored and strips off his shirt and hops in the water to help drag the boat to the far shore.
They finally unload the boat on the shore. But Steve wants all the gear on the far bank. So carry it piecemeal across the gorge.

While one is taking gear back and forth the other gets flogged by the Commando.
Real Army training and so on, look after your mates, like the Army!

Phil’s still been thrown a bit by the change in location but he’s starting to learn he’s got to push on, like Commando Steve says.
Steve says they’ve done well in training today so they’re to be rewarded. They can throw out their swags and move into the camp’s barracks!
They have barracks?
Hey, cool, they have barracks. Fairly primitive log cabin with rough stretchers and wood chairs and so on. Much nicer. Phil’s hoping it’ll lift him a little.

Tomorrow night is Masterclass night again.
More cooking, feet assessment and triathlete Craig Alexander’s words of wisdom… Never heard of him!
