One of the young guns in Shannan’s team this year will set a new record for the heaviest contestant ever to appear on the show.

For those who’d rather wait to find out the magnitude during the show, you should stop reading here.

Seriously, guys. If you don’t want to know who he is and just how huge one young lad can get, stop reading.

Okay, here goes. Hopefully this Spoiler thing works…

Twenty-nine year old Ryan Preuss of Shannan’s Blue Team weighs in at a staggering 240kg.

Less spoilery details on the how:

The call centre worker consumes a whopping 42,000 calories a week  three times as many as an average man  binging on 1.25 litre bottles of soft drink, 1.3kg tubs of ice cream, family-size servings of takeaway and multiple chocolate bars and bags of chips.

It’s crazy how the various Loser shows keep finding bigger and bigger people to squeeze in. There must be an upper weight limit, a size beyond which someone is simply not mobile enough to do anything beyond improve their diet? Ryan’s 192cm tall, which helps distribute that enormous weight more evenly…

But that’s an awful lot of kilograms to cart around. Hopefully Shannan can kick him back into line.
