It Begins! The Biggest Loser Australia 2011 Teasers Now Available.

Frequent viewers of Channel 10 (and sad, sad people who watched the Oprah show) may have spotted some early teaser clips for the upcoming sixth season of The Biggest Loser Australia.

I haven’t seen them myself… but I have seen the teaser trailers that have recently appeared on the official site.

Have you? Read on for my thoughts on the clips.
Haven’t seen them yet? Click through to see them for yourself! (Or see some broken links until I go back and fix them if I’ve done something wrong.)

(And yes, this does mean I’ll be back for another season of recapping. :-) )


We’ll get Michelle’s season started first with her teaser clip, introducing us to The Challenors, Michelle’s team of gigantic men.

Next we have Shannan’s team, The Westrens, a team of large ladies.

Third we have The Commando, Steve, and his Moons.

And last we have brand new trainer Tiffiny Hall with The Duncans.

Yes, it seems we’ll get a whole season of Commando Steve this time around. And a new trainer. Who is perhaps even prettier than Michelle!
I’m going to go ahead and call it now – the community is going to hate Tiffiny before she even opens her mouth. :-)

Obviously the biggest news to come out of these teaser trailers is the trainers getting to spend a week in their team’s shoes before they get stuck into training. Michelle and Shannan seem to handle it fairly well, probably because they’re used to the shenanigans the producers throw at them. Commando Steve’s softer side comes out again when dealing with his women, but he also suffers quite a bit from the diet his team has been living on.
The most shocking thing was seeing Tiffiny – a former Gladiator – being unable to hold back the tears after gorging herself on bad food and alcohol. Might be the first time a trainer cries before any of the contestants break out the tearies?

Some of the food choices of this year’s contestants leave little mystery as to how they got to be in the shape they’re in. Eating an entire tub of ice cream after adding a generous helping of Ice Magic is beyond even my greedyguts ways. Shannan also has to eat what looked like two Big Macs and a cheese burger for one of his meals? I love a Big Mac or a cheeseburger but how does someone eat that much regularly?!

What else have people spotted in the clips or the promo airing on Ch10?
Any other early thoughts? Or are we all too excited to say much yet?
