Previously on The Biggest Loser Bek got sent home at Elimination. Awwww.

Then after a midnight training session and race back to Camp the White Team has been banished to the bush to camp out for a couple of nights. No gym equipment, no beds, no showers. They gonna stiiiiink!
An endurance based Contest kicked off with a champion from the Red, Black and Blue teams having to stand on a pole out in the water. Last one still standing wins the power of The Walk.

Tonight we find out who wins between Red and Black as Hamish has already fallen off.
Also, Temptation! Including a pavlova as one of the options. I want a pavlova so bad. I’d totally fail at that Temptation.

Anyway, Margie and Simon have been balancing so long Hayley ups the ante some more and tells them they’ve got to balance on one foot until one falls.

And Simon teeters and totters and falls into the drink. Margie hops in not long after and is very happy that Red has won yet another Contest.

Three hours and thirty eight minutes is the final time. Crazy!

Margie will now get to go on The Walk. With whatever power that brings.

Meanwhile White Team are camping! They’re cooking up some porridge over a camp stove and none of them really know how long it should take. They usually nuke it in the microwave.

CLOSE UP OF AN ANT. SCARY.

Selena says she’s been camping before but she’s usually the one standing around looking pretty when it comes to chores around camp.
They’ve got a bush shower set up and Selena dumps a bucket of water over her head and squeals. Guess it’s a bit cold?
Selena figures they’ll get back to camp with mud on their faces and grass and twigs in their hair but what can they do? They’re camping for a week!

Margie’s walking through the dank tunnels on the way to her selection. She’s hoping she can lump something rough on Hamish because apparently a lot of people have had to go home because he’s been too lazy to train?
Erm. James left of his own accord, with $30,000 in his pocket. Ryan was lazy and a greedy pig and deserved precisely what he got. And Luke got expelled from Camp for drunken loutishness.
Not sure who got sent home because Hamish was lazy…

Meanwhile Margie’s got the Food, Training and Mystery boxes in front of her. I guess they’re sticking with that concept?

Margie’s picking Mystery. Can’t imagine why anyone would choose anything else. Mysteries are fun!

“Select 1 person who shall not have their ‘weigh-in weight’ included in their team’s total weight percentage for this week.”
The obvious choice there is to select Hamish. He’s the only one left in his team and thus Blue would be left with a 0% loss.

Ahh, but they’ve thought of that and Hamish can’t be the target because he’s a team of one.

So, pretty obvious, Selena or one of the Black boys. Right?

Margie can now go back to Camp and talk about it with her team… but Hayley won’t need Margie’s decision until weigh-in day. Perhaps to prevent any water loading by the selected contestant?

In any event the trainers turn up to Camp and the contestants are all still waiting on Margie to come back. Everyone’s quite apprehensive as to what Margie’s going to come back with.
Hamish feels very vulnerable as the only single member team left.

Margie finally arrives back at Camp and announces she chose the Mystery Box. She explains the terms of her “power” and also says she can’t pick Hamish because he’s excluded from being a target.
Hamish gets a smile on his face at that!
Margie tells us she was hoping she could lump Hamish with a 4 or 2kg weight disadvantage because she doesn’t much care for him anymore. Awww!

Shannan suspects there might be an alliance between Red and Black and thinks that, as a result, the writing is on the wall for Hamish.
But Shannan goes to the Bunker to listen in on Red and Black’s discussion. Margie’s talking about Hamish and how he shouldn’t be taking Temptation every week and every time he does someone else goes home.
Still forgetting that James went home after taking Temptation himself…

Anyway, Margie’s hatched a plan! She’s offering the discard card thingy to Simon, if he’ll take Temptation and outdo Hamish this week. So he won’t have to worry about potentially gaining weight, he’d be safe.
Shannan’s cracking up in the Bunker saying the grand plan has been unveiled.

Margie says she doesn’t want it to come across like it’s an alliance and Shannan laughs and says there’s an agreement between them! Call it whatever you want!

Margie says Hamish doesn’t train when the trainers aren’t there and Shannan thinks they’re seeing him as the weak link. Hamish has been telling him he does his homework every morning. Guess he’ll be checking on that?

Simon’s confident the Reds will honour their agreement.
Margie tells us that Simon went for the plan but whether she goes through with it? Who knows! Women change their mind all the time, she says.

Shannan knows he’s going to have his work cut out for him and heads to training for a showdown with Hamish. Shannan says the voting has been going badly for people who haven’t been pulling their weight, has he?
Hamish shakes his head and says no, he hasn’t been pulling his weight. Hasn’t been doing his homework. Shannan boggles. Hamish doesn’t feel like he belongs there, doesn’t feel like he deserves it. Shannan tells him if he’s thinking like that, he doesn’t!
He’s sick of getting so upset all the time and he can’t just stop it, as Shannan suggests.

Shannan also suggests he toughens up and stops being such a pussy! Some blunt talking from Shannan tonight.

Shannan tells him he can wake up and stop the self pitying attitude. Get it done!
Shannan tells him if he wants to go home then Shannan may as well go home, too. He can wake up in the morning and not let things get him down or he can stay in bed worrying about everything.
Shannan’s worried about him. He’s got to toughen up or else this is going to be his life forever.

Luke’s fastest time to 1km on the bike was 1.24 and Hamish just did a 1.14. So when he focuses he can get it done. He just needs to start believing in himself.

Shannan gets Hamish on the rowing machine but before he starts Shannan wants him to say, “I am changing and I do deserve this.” Shannan gets him to repeat it until he believes it and then tells him he does deserve it, he’s a good kid.

Shannan doesn’t care about winning the competition or the challenges or the contests or temptations or the walk or any of that. He just wants 100% out of Hamish for an entire week. He thinks if Hamish gets a taste of what that is like he won’t look back.

Tiff turns up to her White Warrior’s Warcamp, as they’ve dubbed it. She’s pleased at how they’ve got set up.
Now why were they sent out there? Because they’re a threat? Pfft. It’s because the other teams think they’re weak. Well, they’re going to prove them wrong. This will be a huge advantage for them.
Michelle says she wants to get up on the scales, lose a good amount of weight and then thank the Red Team for sending them bush!

Tiff’s ready to get dirty today and the girls say that’s good because the camp shower’s not likely to warm up in the miserable weather Sydney’s having at the time.
Tiff wants to teach them that they don’t need to be in the gym they can go out and get their exercise in anywhere.

They start out with some simple stuff, jogging on the spot, down to the ground, back up and more running on the spot. On the ground, crawl across the ground, there’s going to be bugs and poo and muck. Get over it now!
Tiff springs up and jogs off urging them to catch her.
Lots of up and down and punching. Tiff gets a piggyback ride from Selena as she runs through the bush. They find a huge branch to lug around as part of the workout as well.

Tiff says they got a little bit dirty today but not dirty enough.
Tiff tells them she’s proud because they’re not taking this as a defeat they’re taking it as a challenge.

But they don’t know what she’s got in store for them next session!

Back at Camp Steve is fuming about his boys falling below the Line all the time. He’s going to get to the bottom of it.
Steve’s talking about the power Margie has and says it could too easily put a team out of the running this week. And he doesn’t want that to be the Black Team.

Weight loss goals this week? Simon did his, and a bit more. Alex did his, and a bit more.
Graham didn’t get too close to his goal. So guess who’s getting a bunch of intensive workout today!

Time to move on to the weights. Simon’s doing a lot more weight than Graham.

When Steve has Simon off on a side bit away from Graham he asks him if Graham is pulling his weight and Simon’s assessment is not at all complimentary. Cue footage of Graham slacking off a lot. Simon says Graham thinks he’s pushing hard but he’s really not, most of the time.

Graham has trouble getting air while working out. Not too surprising when you’ve got that much fat across your torso, I suppose. He’s gasping for breath and Steve asks him if he works this hard by himself? No, he doesn’t.
Why not? Steve can’t be there every hour of every day. Graham’s got to do some of it himself.

Alex chips in to say Graham’s believing his own lies. Lies or excuses? Both.
Simon’s talking about what the medic says to Graham? Something about the medic saying something and Graham not pushing past that? Not sure you should ignore the medical advice…
Things hurt, Simon says, and he keeps stopping there.

Steve tells him if he wants all that stuff he keeps talking about on the scales, the wife, babies, etc? He’s going to have to man up.
9kg is his goal again this week. Steve’s hounding him and pushing him hard through the whole circuit. Graham’s puffing and panting and grunting and groaning… but he’s getting it all done.

Graham’s doing a deadlift of the weights Simon was doing earlier and Steve asks him if he wants to be there after each lift.
He pauses during another lifting exercise thing and Steve asks why and Graham can’t get an answer out… and he gets back to doing the exercise!
Steve tells us the babyface of Graham isn’t going to fool him. It’s time for Graham to go above and beyond!

Steve gets in his face afterwards and says he may have gotten away with this stuff when he was a child but he’s an adult now. Stop carrying on like a porkchop!
Mmmm, porkchop.

Graham knows he’s not likely to be lucky at Elimination for a third time in a row…

Some time later the contestants are wandering around in their team getup with hats and everything. How convenient! They come across a plinth with some ugg boots on it. What is thisss?
They head downstairs and find a surfboard.
Any relation to people? Well, it’s kind of Australian, Margie says. Cricket stumps outside.
Surf rescue kit. An esky – with no beer in it!
An AFL football which they handball amongst themselves a bit.
Flyswatter and a slouch hat. Thongs. A swan made out of a car tire. A campervan. A car with “Sandman” painted on the back of it.

It’s time for the week’s Temptation. And this week it’s all about iconic Aussie food.

There’s six BBQs, four of them have an iconic Aussie food under the lid. 150 calories for a lamington up to 1,000 for the pavlova.
Everyone’s tempted by the thought of some classic Aussie food but there’s also two barbies without any food at all.

There’s a chance to win an Acer laptop and an HTC phone. Big whoop? $2,000.

In the other barbie is, of course, Immunity.

Temptation today is simple. When Hayley says go they can race to a BBQ and claim it. If the barbie contains a prize, it’s their’s. If it contains food, they must eat it.
They can play as many times as they like but they have to eat any food they uncover.

And there’s only six bbqs and seven contestants. So you might need to be quick!

If nobody plays or nobody wins Immunity then it will stay with the contestant who last held it – Hamish!

Margie tells us she’d eat 1,001 calories just to make sure Hamish doesn’t get it.

Simon tells us he thinks the people who’ll take part today will be Hamish. And Hamish. And Hamish. And did he mention Hamish?

Interestingly when it actually comes time to race for the BBQs only Simon goes for it. Hamish doesn’t even feign a move towards them.
He tells us he’s decided not to play today because he can tell something is going on between Red and Black and he wants no part of it.

He’s right, of course. Simon’s planning on playing till he gets Immunity. But will he manage to get it?

Time to lift the lid on your BBQ, Simon!

And under the lid is… an ad break. Typical.

And under the lid is a 566 calorie Aussie burger. The meat bit looks… Unappetising. Beetroot and pineapple are on it too though, so it’s not all bad.
Everyone’s looking on with a great deal of jealousy as Simon chomps away.
Margie says she’s really jealous and Simon asks her if she’d like to come have a sniff and Margie sheepishly shuffles over to have a smell.
Simon tells us it tasted spectacular.

Realistically, how bad could that be? It did have plenty of salad-y things on it.

Will Simon play again? “Yeah, alright.”
He’s started now, may as well keep going, he thinks.

Oh dear, this could get messy.

Simon picks another BBQ and lifts the lid to discover…

Tomorrow night… Nnnnngh. How many treats will Simon have to eat to get Immunity? Will he even manage to keep going?

Also, the little light in Hamish’s brain has flicked on and it looks like he’s finally going to work hard in training. He says he doesn’t want to go home without seeing Michelle again. AWWWWWWWWWW! She’s made a big difference to his life and it might even be first love. Ooooooh!
Shannan seems even more excited about it than Hamish.

Then the weekly challenge… breaking rocks to put in a bucket to tip into a measuring cage thing.
Smashing things is fun! What’s the challenge?
