TBL 7×27 – Friday’s Fancy Frock-Up. Lookit Luke’s Lunacy.
Tonight on The Biggest Loser… more from Luke’s night on the drink. More from Michelle and Hamish’s romance. More from the weekly Contest.
And sexy, sexy Bek’s sexy makeover to make her sexy. Er.
But before any of that stuff we’re watching this episode for… a whole bunch of recapped footage with some talking by Hayley about the things we can see on the screen. Snoooore.
Time for Bek’s catchup in her home town of Brisbane. She’s doing a lot of training every day, 5 hours she says, 2 hours cardio in the morning, an hour with a PT/weights during the day and 2 hours cardio in the afternoon. That’s Monday to Friday. On the weekends her brothers and sisters join her for training, making it a bit more fun but no less physical.
Bek’s sister says she’s drawing inspiration from Bek now.
Bek says she hasn’t given in to temptation once on the outside and is sticking to her meal plan rigidly. Which is strange for her, she says. But everything tastes so nice now! And she can’t even imagine having something salty or fatty like she used to, it turns her stomach.
Later in the show is Bek’s makeover and new bio age revelation and so on. First? More of Luke’s battle with “the demon drink”. Pfft, the demon’s in him, the drink isn’t the problem.
The contestants had a party and due to Luke’s problems with alcohol he went too far and became intoxicated.
Shannan’s chat to him is a bit longer this time. He tells Luke that he was Shannan’s biggest hope for this year.
For Luke that’s when it really hit home, seeing the pain in Shannan’s eyes.
Luke’s biggest temptation in life was alcohol and his life pretty much revolved around it.
Luke says it’s similar to hearing about superstars that are at the top of their game and then you never hear from them again.
What? You’re not a superstar you’re a chump with a drinking problem. Like so many other Australians, really.
Hayley’s now going to reveal what the other contestants are saying about Hamish revealing he’s in lurrrrrrrrve with Michelle.
Simon seems amused. Says Hamish is discovering confidence and discovering things about himself and feelings for a woman, things he’s never felt before.
Lisa says Hamish and Michelle spend as much time together as they can, whether it’s up in the trophy room or in the lounge room or in the corner… she can’t say in the bedroom because her (Michelle’s) mother would have a fit!
Apparently they do spend the night together in Blue’s bedroom. Unclear on whether they’re sharing a bed or just a room. But they have a chat about life and stuff, Margie says. Then they fall asleep and wake up and come back to the rest of the group in the morning.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Chubby love!
Lisa’s got them pegged as a couple, though the two themselves are playing it down for the most part.
Now it’s time for Bek to have a catch up with Dr Swan. She says she’s been eating small meals, regularly. 5-6 meals a deal. Lean chicken, grilled fish, salads, oats for breakfast.
She’s not a new person, she’s the same person just a better version.
Then Dr Swan takes Bek into the kitchen… which is the same kitchen as the past weeks. Hmm. Guess they’re doing all this in a central location, not contestant’s places?
On the kitchen table is Bek’s intake of food per week and… Well, yes, it’s not the healthiest stuff you’ve ever seen. And there’s a lot of it. But it’s nowhere near as much as some of the other past contestants!
Bek’s still shocked and says she can’t see a single meal there she’d still eat now. So much fried stuff, so little green stuff. The highlight of Bek’s day used to be her breakfast bagels.
Bek is obviously genuinely stunned. She’s looking like she’ll be one of the smart ones who keeps the weight off afterwards, it must be said.
Bek says that now she knows what all that food has done to her body, she can’t do it anymore.
Bek’s chronological age is 26 and her bio age used to be 35. She’s had a birthday since she started and is now 27. Her new bio age? 28! She’s really happy with that and quite proud of herself. She’s got to keep it up though, Dr Swan says. The hard part starts when the show ends.
Now for some more footage from the Contest.
Simon was thinking about how he’d pass the time, maybe some conversation starters with the other guys and perhaps how to psych them out. He starts out with a Karate Kid pose then moves on to some dancing.
Hamish is doing the macarena. And some air guitar. And some beatboxing.
Meanwhile the guys back on the beach are sitting down for a lovely little picnic. And Margie’s watching on with great jealousy. She starts discussing what she’d put on it. It actually sounds quite nice, except for the avocado bit…
Margie admits she’s hungry all the time which… isn’t how it should be. Eat more lettuces!
Time for Bek’s makeover! She tells Sammy that things have been fantastic since leaving the house, it’s been an amazing experience so far. And she feels so much more confident since getting back. She’s happy to go to the shops or just walk down the street in her gym gear which would have mortified her before.
Time for girly makeup session and playing dressups!
Bek particularly likes having dark, smokey eyes and long lashes so they’re putting a lot of work into those.
The curtains get drawn back on the mirror and Bek’s shocked speechless for a bit. She’s amazed at the changes and loves the makeup.
She says she wouldn’t’ve felt confident wearing something knee length before, but now she loves it.
Her dress size has surprisingly only gone from a 22 to an 18. She’s looking smaller than that.
And that’s all for tonight. Tune back in on Monday!
