Previously… oh right this is Thursday!

More behind the scenes footage tonight! Alex giving Steve his Train the Trainers workout.
Sammy comes to Camp! To have a chat and stuff.

And outtakes. Juicy, glorious outtakes. I love outtakes in everything. Good to see the people behind the characters having some fun!

But first, recapped footage from the week. BORING. Seriously, Channel 10, if you run this half hour show again next year, dump all the recapped footage and include more new stuff!

Now, a catchup with Graham who got sent home from Switzerland.
Graham’s waddling along… probably the main street of Carcoar. Possibly the only street of Carcoar!

Soon as he got home he ordered himself up some old tires to lug up and down the field near his home. He’s also using the nephew as weight, dragging him across the field in a sled and lifting him up over his head and stuff. Creepy.

Graham used to struggle doing everything around the fire shed but now he’s finding it all a lot easier, even jumping in and out of the trucks to do things instead of struggling to get in. The RFS Inspector even says he’s doing much better.
Graham’s always loved cooking, he says. No more big Aussie BBQs, some fish and some steamed veggies and so on.

Camp Biggest Loser has changed his life, he says. And he can’t wait to meet the ladies and show himself off.

Still a bit too much of him to show off but we’ll see at Finale, methinks!

Now we get some more Train the Trainers footage from Alex and Steve’s workout.
One of the first things Alex has Steve do is cart Alex up the hill in a wheelbarrow. Commando made him do it with 80kg of sandbags back in the day so an extra 20kg for Steve should be no problem!
Steve’s not fussed. He’s there to be trained and he’ll do his best.

Next bit of training is for Commando Steve to do a commando crawl all the way up the hill through the grass. Alex asks him if this is how they taught him at military school? This the best he’s got? Come on, bitch!
Steve shoots him a glance at that but he keeps going.

Then it’s the tire flips which Steve admits was a challenge.

Steve thought it might be over after that but no way! More wheelbarrow rides. Working him hard. Alex tells Steve if he can’t make it back down the hill this time he’s a pussy!
Steve says his training session with Alex wiped him out, he’s not afraid to admit it. But revenge will be sweet!

Alex also hopes the women of the country will wait for him because he got Steve to take his top off. Slow motion, dreamy music, water pouring over his body.
Then Hayley saying thanks on behalf of all the women. HA!

Now Sammy’s going to sneak into Camp after production is done for the day and see what life is really like in the House.
Well, she already knows of course, but she’s going to show us too.

Sammy comes into a session with Shannan, Brenda, Margie, Alex and Kasey all doing some spinbike work. Shannan’s got a sweat up himself so it’s obviously a workout for himself.
Sammy says she wanted to check they’re really training and Shannan says of course they are. As she’d know, the contestants need to work out 3-5 hours per day.

Sammy has a private chat with Margie to ask her how many hours she’s really training per day. Margie says she’s doing the 3-5 hours but she’s also gone for some 2am training sessions. Sammy’s quite surprised at that one.
Margie’s favourite machines are the ones involving weight work and Sammy says she’s noticed there’s some sculpting of muscles going on in Margie’s arm!

So how’s Alex going? He’s got a broken rib but he’s still there. He’s in the medical bay at the time and he says he’s in there a lot, between doing his achilles at the start, his respiratory infection and now the busted rib.
Lucky they’ve got a 24 hour medic available, then? Indeed!

The medic, Chris Thompson, says they see a lot of Alex but he’s not a whinger, never complains about his injuries.
Alex says he’s in a lot of pain, sure, but if you don’t train you go below the Line and get sent home.

Next Sammy drops in on Brenda in the kitchen. Brenda’s having a treat drink of So Good almond milk.
Not sure that qualifies as a treat. Almonds are gross.

Anyway, what’s she eating? Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, lots of chicken, but she still has some carbs as well, unlike some of the others. Carbs fuel your body and so they’re useful. And not eating at all isn’t the way to go. You’ll lose water weight, but Sammy says her body actually puts on weight if she stops eating, goes into survival mode.
Not sure how you gain weight without putting anything into your body. That’s always struck me as a little weird.

Brenda’s not craving any foods at the moment, she’s craving the weightloss and the winning!

Kasey catchup now. Kasey moved into the same bedroom as Margie when Michelle left because she got a bit lonely and needed some company and Margie seemed a good choice. They don’t have TVs, phones, internet or newspapers, after all. Sammy says nobody ever believes her when she tells them.

Kasey has a collection of little Barbie dolls and stuff. But not Barbie dolls, they all have little pasted on faces of her family! So she sort of has them there, only not…
She doesn’t talk to them though, just in case they start talking back.

Kasey says she’s not the only one that’s a bit weird and whacky in this room. OH REALLY?
Margie lurves Michelle Bridges. So she has two pictures of Mish, framed, on her bedside table.

Sammy says Mish is hot, but WOW. Wow. Wow.
Margie is a fan of Mish and the pictures are her motivation, her alarm clock. It’s what gets her up in the morning!
Sammy was trained by Mish as well.

Enough chitchat, time to train Brenda says as her and Alex wander into the room.

More Graham. Dr Swan catchup time.
He’s still huge. But I guess considering what he started as, it’s not surprising he still has a way to go.

Breakfast for Graham is usually some weetbix, lunch is a ham salad wrap, dinner is fish with some veggies.

Time for THE KITCHEN OF HORROR.

Wow. Huge mounds of everything. HUGE. But he’s not tempted by any of it. He says he still has chicken, obviously, but it’s not the charcoal chicken, not with skin anymore.

Graham used to be a big binge drinker. When he’d have a drink it’d be two to four BOTTLES of wine. Dr Swan’s mind is blown.
Graham’s determined to be the new Graham now.

Graham’s chronological age was 36 at the start, biological age was 54. Huge difference.
He’s hoping for a lot better today…

Graham’s new bio age… 43.

Still 7 years older but he’s brought back 11 years, which is a great result.

Graham will probably take another 2 years to get down to his goal weight but he can do it. And then he’ll be the Brad Pitt of Carcoar, Dr Swan says.

Yeah…

So, now we find out what the trainers bio ages actually are?! Cool!
Well, Shannan and Commando Steve at least.

Shannan’s 38 chronologically, Steve’s only 35. Steve reckons he’s got it in the bag.

Both boys have excellent blood pressure. All level after one test.

Steve smashes Shannan in the lung function test, but Shannan laughs and says he knew Steve was full of hot air! They’re both having a good laugh at it all.

Beep test time! Testing cardio vascular fitness and mental strength, Dr Swan says.
Shannan can tell Commando means business – STEVE’S WEARING JOGGERS NOT COMBAT BOOTS!!!

Still in his camo pants, but still.

Steve’s a bit nervous as he hasn’t done a beep test in a long time.
Shannan says it’s one of those “men things”. How far can you get in the beep test, eh?

Basically the goal is to get from one set of cones to the other before the fourth beep. You get three beeps to let you know time is running out, have to have foot over the line in order to turn around and run back. So it’s no good just sprinting from the start, you’ve got to pace yourself.

A good result for an AFL player is 15. Fireman is 9.6? Not sure that’s what that was. 7 for entry into the Army!

Shannan’s puffing by level 10 but Steve’s not out of breath yet so Shannan thinks Steve might have him here!

11.3 for Commando Steve. Steve says he pulled out, wasn’t going to destroy himself, he’d let Shannan go for it though. He’s standing on the side and encouraging him to keep going.

Shannan eventually goes out at 13.5. Whatever that means!

Shannan will take anything under his real age of 38, Steve just wants one less than Shannan!

Shannan’s chrono age is 38.
Shannan’s bio age is 30. 30!
Shannan reckons the couple of beers on the weekend probably did him in. 30’s nothing to be ashamed of mate!

Commando Steve’s chronological age is 35.
Commando Steve’s bio age is 26!

Steve’s pipped Shannan by a single year. Steve and Shannan both say it proves they practice what they preach. Both congratulate the other on a great result, even though they rib each other a lot.

Shannan also tries to give Steve a fancy handshake and Steve can’t follow it and turns away laughing.

That’s right, it’s time for outtakes!

First up, Kasey when the White Team were camping out. Kasey and a few others at various times are miming the clapper board thingy to get things started.

Alex was very anxious to get into the Big Brother house!

Margie, on the poles out in the water, wishes she hadn’t worn undies today because she has to keep pulling them out of her arse. Then she says oh, we’re on TV. Simon replies that it’s okay, they can’t hear her.
Yes we can!

Margie and Lydia are winking back and forth during a training session, much to Mish and Tiffiny’s bemusement.

Now a montage of people making weird noises! Lots of ohhh, ahhh, oh shIIIIIIt. Kasey smashing her face into the pillar again.
Margie rolling, rolling, rolling down the sand dune while Shannan laughs his arse off!

Hayley, standing in the field with the sheeps and one gets curious about her and starts wandering towards her till Hayley squeals and backs away.

Selena, digging like a turtle in the sand again. Wait, that’s not an outtake, we saw that!

Steve says he can’t believe he used to be so serious. He’s always been loopy though. Cue footage of him chewing on a straw, making funny faces, doing a silly little dance in his chair. BWAHAHAHA. Oh, Steve.

Margie gives Tiff a big hug and won’t let go.

Margie has a Superman tshirt on, Lydia says. Margie says she has a Superman TATTOO. Guess where? Hayley foolishly asks where. “On my arse.” “Oh…”

Contestants falling over!

Shannan trying to blow his airhorn to wake his guys up and he’s got a dud horn that just sort of gives a little pffffffft.

During the White Team camp out Michelle gets the camera crew to kill a spider for her because she’s freaking out! Bwahahaha.

Shannan and Mish say goodbye to the contestants in Loser Lounge and walk off to the door to leave… But the door is jammed and they can’t get it open. Oh no!
They fiddle with it a bit and eventually it pops open while Mish looks back at everyone and laughs.

And that’s it. Final behind the scenes episode for the year. Just Sunday night episode, then the Finale on Monday!

Then I can go back under my rock for another year.
