TBL 5×63: Dream Outfit Night. Hubba-hubba!
Previously on The Biggest Loser David was eliminated and Wayne won the not-so-Super Challenge.
As a result Shannon is now wearing the Nothing bracelet once again. He’s been wearing it for most of the season anyway…
Tonight an emotional buttkicking training session with the Camp Losers being confronted by some of the nasty things they’ve been called in the past.
Also, DREAM OUTFIT NIGHT! Cool!
Michelle and Shannan walk up to Camp again. Michelle’s leg is still gimpy, obviously. Shannan gentlemanly opens the door for her. Aww!
Michelle AND Shannan take all the contestants as a group for training today. It’s time to remind them of where they came from and where they are now.
Shannan invites them all to sit down and write on a piece of paper some of the words that have haunted them from the past. Things they’ve heard spoken about them and has stuck with them from childhood.
Shannan tells us that he and Michelle want them to be free. Take those words and phrases, bring them to the surface one more time, address them and then tear them to shreds.
Daina says it was hard for her because she’d been faking being happy for so long.
Shannon says all the words up there are things they can all relate to, most fat people can.
Wayne’s first phrase is “You are obese!” Shannan’s got it strapped to a crash mat and then eggs him on. Wayne just about tackles him back through a wall.
That was easy!
“So Daina. Are you pregnant?” Michelle asks Daina. Daina says no, she was just fat at the time. Daina tells us it’s something you don’t really want to hear when you’re 23.
Daina says to Michelle that hearing it hurt, and of course she’d go eat as a result.
So Daina does some boxing against the paper taped to the punching target Michelle’s holding. After she’s done Daina says it’s not her. Not anymore!
The most important word for Shannon? “Blimp.” When he was in Year 7 he was walking past the library and two older kids pinned him to the wall and wrote it across his forehead.
Shannan tears into it with his boxing gloves for a bit while it’s taped to a heavy punching bag. Then he gets to tear it up and he tells us he felt really good afterwards. He won’t go back to that place ever again.
Lisa’s is “Pretender”. She was a pretender and she’s disappointed that she used to be that way.
But she’s not a pretender anymore, she’s real! She doesn’t have to pretend to be happy because she just is happy now. Yay!
Big sweaty group hug afterwards.
Time to move on to the next part of the day. Something they’ve been dreaming about for three months. It’s time to get into their dream outfits!
Lisa’s the first to go back to the dream outfit box. Her’s is her wedding dress. It’s her seventeenth wedding anniversary this weekend, too. Can she squeeze in? She’s really nervous about even trying.
Wayne’s is his old footy outfit. Which he’s not fit into since he was 25!
Daina… Daina has a bikini. Michelle says it’s the bravest dream outfit they’ve ever had. Daina says she didn’t think the day would ever come!
She starts strapping herself in and tells us that the top feels okay but she’s not sure about her legs.
Shannon’s is the suit he wants to get married in. The shirt is a 3XL. 6 times smaller than what he arrived in. He’s a bit freaked out, unsure if it’ll fit.
Shannan says it’s a double edged sword, trying to fit into the outfits. If you fit in, it’s great, you feel fantastic. If you don’t fit it can be a real setback.
Meanwhile in the Northern Territory…
Commando Steve is up a tree! A banyan vine tree, Phil says.
First exercise is to do 15 jumping pullups on the hanging vines while the other does situps using a nearby log.
Steve shouts at them a lot but they keep going.
Lots of big efforts from the boys. Steve keeps egging them on by asking which of them is going to make it to the grand final?
Steve points at Phil and tells Joe that’s the man he has to beat and then points at Joe and tells Phil that’s the man he has to beat.
Yeah, I think they’d worked that out!
After another ever so long ad break Steve is drawing a line in the sand. Mateship aside, this is the competition.
Hold on to two vines in an L-sit position and see who can hang on the longest.
Crikey!
They’re looking at each other while they’re hanging on as best they can.
Joe’s totally gone into the zone for a while and eventually Phil falls first.
Joe tells us he’s proven he’ll do what he can to stay in the competition.
Head back to camp, get cleaned up, Steve will see you in the next session!
Wayne’s the first reveal. Yup, unsurprisingly he fits in just fine.
Michelle starts telling him to turn around and show everything off. Shannan says he looks like an athlete, complete with rippling muscles!
Shannon’s next. He was concerned he might not fit into it… The neck of the shirt is loose. Think he’s going to need a new suit!
Shannon says he made the right decision getting back up on the first day in the comp. He had his life in his hands and he stood up and fought for what he wanted.
They reveal the mirror and we go to another ad break…
After the ads we finally get to see Shannon… He looks great! The suit actually looks big on him. Might need to get it tailored to fit him a little better.
Now it’s time to see Daina in her bikini.
Shannan gives her a wolf whistle.
They’ve cheated a little and given her a wrap… but then at Shannan and Michelle’s encouragement she unwraps the waist wrap and wow. Do want. Really, really want. She looks AWESOME.
She’s looking a little too tanned all over for it to be entirely believable. Mmmm, spray tans!
Last one up is Lisa and Shannan does a play on the wedding vows about promising to love and respect the new body she’s built and so on.
They finally unveil the mirror and she finally gets to see herself in the dress and she’s stunned. She’s in tears and keeps twirling around to look at herself. Awww!
Tomorrow night Phil and Joe look like they’re going all Brokeback? Cow wrangling!
Also it’s girls versus boys in some challenge or other for the remaining Campers. Kayaking through rapids seems to be involved. Looks like fun!
