TBL 5×57: The 42km Marathon Begins… Tonight!

Previously on The Biggest Loser all the eliminated contestants came back from Elimination-land to do their 42km marathon… OF DOOM!

Seriously, fat people, running a marathon. They’re mad, MAD I TELLS YA.

Anyway, tonight the marathon will begin. Pretty sure they won’t do the whole marathon in one half hour episode though.
And I’m pretty sure most of the episode will be taken up by people puffing and panting and not a lot of talking outside the “After Action” stuff.

Early tip for winners? Rick and Daina.

But we’ll see…

TBL 5×56: The Eliminated Contestants Cometh!

Previously on The Biggest Loser… Phoebe got sent home, awwww!

Tonight… all the eliminated contestants return. And will be trained by Michelle for a final time before the 42km marathon!

The three remaining contestants head out to the parade ground to find Hayley and a bunch of flags festooning the house and they’re all excited about what could be happening today.
Hayley says they’ve all done well to get so far and they all feel like they’ve done well to get so far and how great is it to get so far and be so close to the end and the Finale and so on?

Yeah, it’s not very exciting so far. Hayley reminds them of Phil and Joe training in the Outback.
But there’s also another way to get back into the game – be the first eliminated male AND female across the finish line of the 42km marathon.
I was sure it was only one person before but now they’ve changed it to two? Ooooh!

TBL 5×55: The All-Girl Elimination!

Previously on The Biggest Loser… Phoebe and Lisa fell below the Yellow Line. Pretty much the worst case scenario if you ever want to see a girl win the competition.
Or I suppose the worst case for Phoebe and Lisa. Or people who like them.

Tonight Shannon faces a hard decision at Elimination. Does he vote for Lisa, who’s like his Mum in the House or does he vote for Phoebe, his best friend in the house?
And in the Top End Steve is helping Phil and Joe hold a log above their heads.

Um, kay.

TBL 5×54: Yet another weigh-in in The Outback and back at Camp Biggest Loser.

Previously on The Biggest Loser Phil and Joe are still training in the desert with The Commando, Shannon won Immunity at a Challenge, David now has the Nothing bracelet and Lisa has the Double bracelet.

Tonight! Is David cracking under the pressure (my money’s on no!) plus it’s time for another weigh-in. Can’t be as bad as last week’s, can it?

My money is on no for that, too.

Shannan and Michelle rock up to Camp yet again. Shannan’s voice is still a little croaky but I think he could almost shout at people again. Almost!

TBL 5×53: Cycling and Swimming with CHAMPIONS

Previously on The Biggest Loser the Desert Rats were revealed and Shannon scored Immunity thanks to Phoebe and Lisa being silly buggers an eliminating each other in the Challenge!

Tonight some spin bike challenge car headlights going off thing.
Also, back in the desert, Phil and Joe cop yet another flogging from The Commando. There’s a shocker!

Michelle and Shannan rock up to Camp again, wondering what’s happened since last they were there.
Everyone’s actually present and so on, so no surprises there…
