Tonight on the not-Friday episode of Biggest Loser that’s only a half hour long like Friday episodes usually are. But it’s Thursday!

More footage from the Makeover Day goings on, a catch up with Ryan and his dietary woes, Shane gets his Sammy-makeover and various other tids and/or bits!

But first, RECAP ALL THE THINGS IN VIDEO FORM.

As the new footage picks up we’re catching up with Shane. He says he was a little down on getting home after being eliminated in Week Two, but he’s picked himself back up since then.
Typical day involves a strong walk for an hour or so, come home and do 12 hours of work driving a forklift. Ouch. Then into the gym until they close at 9pm.
He’s set himself a long term goal of becoming a personal trainer himself. Quite a few contestants get into that line of work afterwards.

Shane’s “Mate” is taking advantage of Shane’s newfound healthy cooking skills. Also says Shane’s looking happier than he has in a long time, it’s good.
Shane’s also got a lot more energy to chase his son around the park and stuff, which he also loves.
He says when he gets on the scales at Finale he’ll feel the changes inside even though nobody can see them. Much more confident and motivated.

Now some extra Makeover Day footage.
Margie reveals she doesn’t usually wear any makeup so it’s all new to her. She tells the makeup lady she prefers the natural look so no lippy, nothing like Lydia’s bright red lips. She says that suits Lydia just fine, but it’s not for her.
The makeup lady is telling Margie to just trust her!
Before the makeup and hair reveal Mish is telling her it’ll be okay and is she ready and so on.

Margie says it’s a bit hard to look at herself in the mirror but she can manage to do it now and she notices her eyes have a sparkle in them and she can smile and she has a neck and a jawline and everything!
Margie says she looks healthy and happy and she was surprised by it all.

Now we get to see Graham’s reaction to the full length mirror reveal. Has anyone else noticed that Graham spends a lot of time talking like a Reality TV Show Contestant and not much time talking like a regular fucking human being?
Says he’s shaking but he’s proud of how far he’s come in his journey. Before coming to Camp he was in a big lonely hole and didn’t know how to get out of it.
He’s got a big smile on his face when looking into the mirror. He’s never felt so good in himself, he says. He sees the new version of himself and it’s getting better every day.
Steve says he’s proud of him. Awww!

Time for Dr Swan’s catchup with Shane!
Shane says things have been going well. Feeling healthy and energetic and it’s getting hard to slow down.
Shane’s not getting hungry, he says. He was never a big eater before, he reckons, though Dr Swan finds that hard to believe.

Time to go to the Kitchen of Doom!
His kitchen of doom has a mindboggling number of iced coffee contrainers. They’re wedged into every available spot on the table around mounds of chips and tim tams and toasts with vegemite on it.

Wait, what? Are you telling me toasts with vegemite are bad for me? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Shane’s a lot stronger mentally and physically now, so it’s easier to resist all that food. Dr Swan says exercise is also a great anti-depressant.

Shane’s chrono age was 38 at the start and bio age was 58. Crazy.
How about now, Dr Swan?
New bio age… 49! Not bad for doing most of it on the outside. It would have been lower but he’s still carrying a lot of fat on his belly. And he’s also still smoking, that’s the worst bit for him. If he’d stopped smoking he’d be down to 45, Dr Swan says. Tells him he’s got to stop smoking entirely, not just cut back.

Ryan’s struggling to come up with simple, healthy ideas to fit into his diet. And his cooktop only has one setting – high!
He cuts into a piece of chicken he thinks is cooked well enough. IT’S PINK IN THE MIDDLE. Never, ever, ever eat pink chicken.
So Biggest Loser have booked him in for an appointment with dietitian Maddie Fox?

Ryan rates himself a 2 in cooking ability so Maddie is going to show him a greek style beans with rocket. All done in one pan.
Maddie says when you’re cutting an onion the more it makes you cry the better it is for you. Something to do with the chemical in it that makes you cry and it’s good for you. I don’t know. She’s adding heaps of stuff into the pan and cooking it. CHEF!
Maybe the recipe will be on the website after the show.
Ryan says the end result is delicious!

Time for Shane’s Sammy-makeover!
Shane feels the best he has in a long time and feeling a lot more energetic.
Time to play dressups! He’s not usually the dress up kinda guy.

But first, the makeup chair. He’s… not sure about it. He’s sure he’s going to cop some stick from his mates over it though!
He has dimples when he smiles now, he confides in Sammy, which he hasn’t had before.

He never really looked in the mirror in the past. And even when he did he really just saw someone else in the mirror, not himself.

But now he’s looking and he’s very pleased. Says it’s him in the mirror now and he does a little twirl in front of the mirror.

Will he also win his way back into the house? Find out next week!

Sunday at 6.30… Lydia and Kasey are in 24 hour bedroom lockdown. The other contestants are getting in a training session with Tiffiny Hall’s daddy!
Then what they’re hyping as one of the most controversial weigh ins ever! Tears will be shed. Speechlessness will ensue!
