Previously on… oh right it’s Friday, so THE ENTIRE WEEK WAS ON.

Tonight some “home truths” about Lydia.
What really happened on the first date between Hamish and Michelle. Hint: IT WAS REALLY FUCKING AWKWARD.
And Hamish’s makeover, presumably before his date.

Plus what we didn’t see at Charm School. Does anyone really want to see more of that? Really? If we must.

But first, all the crap we already saw this week.

And now a catch up with Hamish. How’s he doing without Michelle? Pretty well, it seems. He’s doing 2 hours of cardio a day on the outside. He’s wishing he’d realised earlier that he could actually do this.
Him and his Dad have also gotten out for a ride. Hooray! They’re out in the pouring rain with Hamish on a hybrid bike while his Dad is on a proper roadie. For the cyclists out there. <3
Hamish also rides to the gym these days, now his fitness has improved.

Hamish seems to live in a farm-y area. Not a lot of houses around and they’ve got plenty of room for quite a few veggie patches and so on.
Hamish says the best part is the way he’s been changed for the better both physically and mentally.
He’s become the calorie counter of the house, watching what they all eat and helping prepare meals and so on. His family is quite shocked by the changes. And he’s really enjoying cooking on the outside, while also picking up more cooking tips from his Mum.
Him and his Mum chat about Michelle while cooking but Hamish is still nervous talking about her.

All the contestants are starting to learn that finding love is possible and at this week’s Temptation/Challenge they started learning how to flirt. With occasionally amusing results.
Let’s see more of that! Hayley seems happy about it. I’m not.

Alex says the first 90 seconds of chatting were a bit awkward but the rest just blew through. We get a bit of him being tongue tied by a pretty blonde. He says she has a nice top.
Alex was having a pretty good time but especially when the rock chick turned up. She says she’s Miss Bad Thing and she’s there for the conjugal visit.

Ooooooooooookay!

They shake hands for a long time while Alex asks if he can be Miss Bad Boy. Erm.

Margie says it can’t be too hard, it’s only 90 seconds right. As the bell jingles and the first person is about to enter Margie’s room she’s mumbling to herself “It’s too late to pull out, too late to pull out.”
Margie’s not sure if she’s going to run away, faint or burst into tears because it’s a bit confronting.
Margie’s first visitor tells her to have fun at the end, everyone else is just as nervous as she is, so don’t worry about it. They share a laugh as she leaves.

Selena told everyone they’re handsome it seems. Handsome and beautiful. All of them. First thing she says. Creepy!
Selena’s hoping it gives the impression of being a funny girl and just a bit over the top.

Now, what we didn’t see was the awkward final goodbye between Hamish and Michelle. Neither of them wanted to be the one to walk away first.

They stand around talking for a bit with a lot of awkward talking about goodbye and stuff. Right in front of the cameras. It’s all new and awkward and Michelle doesn’t know what to do because she’s never had a boyfriend before.

OH GOD JUST KISS HIM AND HUG HIM AND IT WILL ALL BE OKAY. Seriously. It’s not that hard, guys.

Hug? Hug. Awww. Hamish says he didn’t want to cry too much, or at all.
Hamish suggests no kiss and Michelle insists on a kiss. She’s just shy. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Going to miss each other. Awwwww.
See where it goes from there, Michelle says.

Hamish has his catchup with Dr Swan at… I guess it’s Dr Swan’s medical house of medicality?
Hamish says it’s going “pretty rad”. He’s enjoying life and enjoying his diet and exercise.

His breakfast now is a couple of weetbix with some banananana sliced on them. Lunch is a healthy salad with some tuna and cottage cheese. Dinner’s a healthy stir fry which the whole family is enjoying as well.

Now it’s time for Hamish’s surprise. All the crap he used to eat in a week. Hey, I recognise that, it’s a Zinger burger from KFC. Had one of those for dinner.
Um, I mean, healthy stir fry for me.

Hamish says there’s a lot of saturated fat on the table and Dr Swan says one meal in there has up to 60g of saturated fat in it. 35g of fat, in total, with most of it being healthy, is what he’s supposed to have per day.
Hamish isn’t tempted at all by what’s on the table. It’s not just the food it’s the amount of food. Hamish says it’s saving him money while also saving his life.

Hamish is this year’s youngest contestant at 20 years chronologically. Bio age was 34 at the start.
So what is it now? Hamish guesses maybe a few years better? Not many though?
His new bio age is… 29! Still got 9 years to make up but he’s already got the first 5 down.

Hamish thinks he’s got the strength and knowledge to do it on the outside now. He’s also been enjoying telling friends and family all the healthy stuff.

Mish has a chat about Lydia’s worries now. Both with us and with Lydia herself during a training session.
Mish says Lydia’s concerned she’s being told stories and lied to and so on. Welcome to The Biggest Loser, Mish says!
Lydia needs to work on the issues she has with needing to control everything. Mish tells us that Lydia hasn’t forgotten it’s a game she just wants it all to go her way!

More replayed footage of Lydia in The Bunker.
Margie and Lisa were having a chat about who others think are a threat in the game and maybe some of the others in the house might think Lydia having The Secret is a reason to get rid of her.

Time for Hamish’s makeover. Hi Sammy! Sammy’s wearing a pretty flowery dress today. It. Well. It doesn’t suit her. She’s still pretty though.
Hamish says it’s not been hard on the outside, other than not having Michelle there. He has a lot more confidence these days.

Hamish is getting his hair done first. Doesn’t use product in his hair normally but he reckons he might start after today. He also gets his makeup done. And makes kissy faces when his lips are done.

Time for some snazzy threads and shoes and such.
He never used to pay attention to himself in the mirror. But today he’s going to have to have a look at himself and… nope, his transformation doesn’t have that wow factor of some of the others. He still looks like a chubby bogan. He’s happy though. And he thinks Michelle would like it, too.

That’s all for tonight. This episode seemed short, even for Friday night. Oh well.
See you on Monday!
