Previously on The Biggest Loser, Brett done broked his arm!

Tonight the pink ladies get a VIP guest. Everyone’s sort of expecting it to be their respective partners but we’ll see. Also the weekly challenge involves the contestants being chained to a wall with a bucket of water over their heads. Drop your arms, get drenched. Oh no!

Everyone’s still trying to guess who it could be. Might be a sporty person. Maybe a past contestant?

And the doors open and it’s… yup, it’s their partners. Janet’s husband is quite normal sized. Kirsten’s boyfriend Liam is quite normal sized.

Bet the yellow girls are wishing they kept the fridge for themselves now!

Shannan says what the two boys don’t know is they’re getting the full Biggest Loser treatment, including a workout session with Shannan. Husband thought that since they’re guests they might get it a bit easy, but it’s quite a work out he says.

Kirsten knows she’s got to push herself hard today since her boy’s there. She wants to show Liam what she’s capable of. She makes it to 12km/h on the treadmill which Shannan says he never would have gotten out of her. Kirsten knows there’ll be a lot more running at 12 in her future now Shannan knows she can. And she has her boy to thank for it!

Robert, Janet’s husband, has been affected quite a bit by Janet’s weight gain. She shuns physical affection now, but she knows she has to change her life.

Shannan’s got Rob and Janet doing some mitt work next. Janet’s punches are crisp and precise in comparison to Robert’s. Janet tells us that Robert brought the animal out in her. She was keen to show him the new her, so she’d get more respect now. Robert’s gasping for air and begging for water, Shannan says. He can’t keep up with his wife. And he tells us afterwards that it was fantastic to see Janet looking so motivated. Janet’s still chuffed she was punching harder than her hubby!

Michelle’s training session today is a little bit different. She’s got one of her group being the timekeeper, running 250 metres on the treadmill while everyone’s doing other stations including weights and stuff. Richard’s on the treadmill as well because he’s got a back injury. Mish is urging him from early on in the piece to pump the incline up. Mish wants them all to be working constantly so they can’t be thinking about their aches and pains. But in particular she wants to keep on Kevin the whole time to make sure he keeps going. She’s brickwalling him today, he’s not getting out of it with a rest or a drink or a sit down.

Kevin’s struggling quite a bit, as you might expect. Rosemary’s trying not to look at his face too much because it looks like he might cry and she was getting annoyed at it. Michelle thinks he should be over feeling disappointed in himself.

We then see him, after getting dressed by his lady, getting into a car to drive himself somewhere. Yes, he actually fits behind the wheel! Somehow. It looks like quite a struggle in and of itself. He says he can’t even get up in the morning to prepare himself for work and he knows it’s pathetic. He shouldn’t be like that. Mish says it’s hard for people to grasp how hard it is to do a pushup at 250kg, but Kevin’s getting it done and she’s impressed. Kevin’s determined to push himself today, he wasn’t sure how long he’d be able to push past the pain but he was going to do it!

Then Michelle tells Richard to get his incline up. Richard says it’s on a 7 for speed and a 6 for incline. Mish gets him to nudge it up to 7 incline. Mish thanks him and asks if they needed to have that argument and Richard says no, but he wasn’t being argumentative, she was. Mish gets pissed at him needing the last word and Richard wants her to lighten up a bit. He’s 45 and overweight and he’s busting his ass. Mish points out he’s not the only one. Michelle says Richard wonders why Amber talks back at him and it’s because they’re cut from the same cloth, she says. Richard can’t just suck it up and get on with it, he never shuts up!

Why do you need the last word, Richard? Why? Richard goes silent and eventually asks if she wants an answer. Michelle looks disgusted and checks on Kevin. Mish tells us she’s the trainer and she’ll be calling the shots. Shut up!

Now it’s time for the pink ladies to say byebye to their mens. Awwwww. Smooshyfaces! Kirsten says she really just needed a cuddle from Liam. Awwwwwww! Janet thought she’d be a blubbering mess when they left but she wasn’t because it strengthened the team. ‘Kay.

Commando Steve has his people in a light, airy gym today. He wants them to understand it’s good to be the biggest loser of the week because it gives you a lot more confidence, just look at Cher and Anita! Today’s training session will be kids versus adults.

Robyn and Katie are on the treadmill first up. Steve’s having a chat to Robyn as she runs. She says she’s loving it, just look at her. Steve grins and says he’s glad she’s enjoying it. Robyn confides in us that she was doing it tough. The race is to the 2km mark and they can swap back and forth as much as they want with the other contestants.

Mark’s charging hard. He says that winning isn’t everything, but trying to win is! No point entering a race if you’re happy with last. Gotta try for first or not bother.

Steve says Chris and Mark are in no way the alpha males, though he says that to them to pump them up in training sessions. He hasn’t seen that alpha quality out of them yet. But he’s pushing Mark to do an extra bit on the treadmill because he knows it’s in him. Steve says it’s not theatre school! Mark knows that…

Steve knows if he wasn’t there in Mark’s ear he would have given up and let Cher or Katie take a longer stint. Cher’s telling us that the treadmill is hard on her feet but she wasn’t going to give up today, she’s giving it her best. It hurts, but she won’t let her team down. She just wishes she could go faster. Steve tells us that Cher being on the treadmill without complaining is all he could ask for.

Cher’s not dragging the chain, Steve tells her. They got biggest loser of the week and they’re making the changes they need to save their life, etc. Meanwhile we have slow motion Cher wobbling along on the treadmill in the background. It’s hypnotic. Like a lava lamp!

The parents finish their 2km first, which isn’t so surprising given the kids have Cher!

Next up they’re on shared-weights. This seems a little dangerous. They’ve got one person on either side of a weighted bar doing reps. Cher struggled on the treadmill but she’s doing great on the weights. Which is helping them catch up.

But it’s not enough as the parents win. Robyn is chuckling to us and says it was good to see Mark there with a “head on him like a busted sausage”. Okayyyy?

Trainer Tip. Steve showing us how to do squats with a bar across the shoulders. And a plug for glucosamine if you have sore joints!

Brett’s back! His arm’s in a sling, bandaged heavily.

Brett tells us they’ve put a plate and some screws in his wrist, did it pretty quickly too. Shannan tells us if ever there was a get out of Biggest Loser free card, a broken wrist is it!

He’s definitely still in the game though. His head’s still in the right place, they’ll just have to work around his injury. Shannan says they’ll find a way to get his life in control. Shannan’s sure he can come up with a training regimen to get his heart rate up and the calories burning, he doesn’t have to walk on his arm, after all! Mark apologises again for knocking Brett on his arse but Brett knows there wasn’t anything to it.

Shannan’s got the kids in the kitchen for a chat about the importance of breakfast. Missing breakfast, or having an unhealthy one, puts you on the back foot all day. Kevin’s looking really sunburnt. I guess that is a lot of skin to apply lotion to but he should at least do his face!

Shannan says there’s no excuses for missing breakfast due to time constraints. Get some low fat ham, some cottage cheese, tomato and some toast. Or toast and an omelette. Or the easiest of all, two weet-bix and some skim milk and you’re done. And they taste good, Cher says! Not sure whether that was prompted. I like vita brits well enough but I’d rather have coco pops!

Anyway, time for the challenge!

There’s colour coordinated walls and pull chains installed. It’s time for a challenge of mind over matter. It will test both their physical strength and their mental strength. And to win they’ll need to rely on their partners.

Each team of two will have to hold their arm in the air while balancing on a beam. Attached to their arm will be a chain attached to a trough of water. Pull the chain and get drenched and you’re out. Step off the balance block and you’re out.

So what’s the prize? Immunity, for the first time this season. Guaranteed spot for another week! Everyone’s very excited for that. Brett’s feeling a little out of it but he’s sure his arm will be okay for this challenge, but it’ll affect all sorts of things in the weeks to come, he knows.

And the challenge starts!

And Kevin’s already struggling to stay balanced and not yank on the chain. After talking about how good he thought he’d be at this he must be feeling a little sheepish now…

Come back from the ad break and Kevin and Rosemary last all of ten seconds. Down the water comes! Rosemary looks pissed. Kevin’s having a chuckle about it but they may be the best off, not hurting themselves holding their arms up for ages! But both of them park on their bums instead of going off and exercising. Silly.

Mandy asks the others how to stop her arm from shaking and Katie tries a jedi mind trick – your arm is fiiiine. *wave*

Chris is trying to psych out Todd but while doing so his foot steps off the bar. They’re trying to make excuses, saying it was the wind. Amber tells us he’s over 100kg, the wind ain’t blowing him down. Isn’t he lighter than her now?

Anyway, Amber’s whimpering and trying not to pull it down. They get some trickles coming out but no big kersploosh yet!

Anita’s keeping Cher’s head in the game really well.

Robyn and Katie’s trough is leaking!

But then Mandy and Brett’s trough tips over onto them. I guess it’s not an old sort of plaster on Brett’s wrist since it’s now soaked!

Amber’s sobbing, saying she can’t do any more. Richard’s got a sore back and so he’s doing it tough too.

Lots of grunting and groaning all round.

The water’s slowly trickling down on Richard and Amber but Robyn can see it’s not just the constantly whimpering Amber pulling it down. Richard can’t hang on any longer either and he pulls the chain himself. Amber is furious with her Dad for giving up. Richard says he didn’t give up, he couldn’t do it anymore. You pulled the chain, dude. That’s giving up!

And then Robyn and Katie’s trough tips over them though they’re not sure how it happened as neither of them thinks they were pulling on it!

Just three teams left, pink, yellow and green!

Gerald’s having trouble, sore shoulder and neck, so he’s trying to focus on something else. He looks over at Kirsten’s feet and points to say look at the spider! Kirsten looks down quickly and realises it was a trick. But she’s still holding it up!

Cher’s wobbling a lot but everyone’s impressed someone so big has managed to keep her arm up so long.

And then suddenly Gerald can stand no more and he dunks them both.

Down to Mother and Daughter teams!

Who will win?

Janet and Kirsten! Cher finally calls it quits and they get their soaking. Kirsten and Janet are shocked and just stand there a moment longer, then take their dunking too.

Afterwards they’re talking about being so happy about winning and they go for a high five… and completely miss. So coordinated!

Their family visit spurred them on today, for sure. But Kirsten says if Cher hadn’t gone when she did it wouldn’t’ve gone much longer.

Now Janet and Kirsten have Immunity!

Seven teams will be fighting for five spots above the Yellow Line. Oooooh!

Next week The Biggest Loser is going “supersized”. Not sure if that means extra long episodes? But the elimination will be decided by THE TRAINERS! Michelle’s not pleased!

And then on Monday, Margie’s back! Last year’s winner will be there for a training session.

Then another Face Your Fears with some abseiling.

And then an obstacle course from hell. Including some gladiators with padded poles to bash them. Awesome!
