Previously on The Biggest Loser we started seeing the results of the makeovers on the contestants but we didn’t get to finish. Pfft.

Tonight we get to see the rest of the makeovers… and then a five way tug of war with a “game changing advantage” on offer. And a potentially bad injury to Mandy?

First up tonight is Kirsten. We only saw her legs and the bottom hem of her skirt or dress. It was bright yellow! Tonight we find out it’s a skirt with a blue top and a shiny belt. She looks quite pretty and tells us she feels quite sexy.

Michelle says they both have dangerous curves, it must be hereditary.

Now they’ve got a much stronger relationship as a result of their time on the show. And Kirsten doesn’t think of her Mum as a hypocrite anymore because Janet works hard. And we don’t get to see Holo-Kirsten? Straight to the family and Kirsten’s boyfriend. The boyfriend keeps checking her out, admiring her butt, which Kirsten says has never happened before.

The boyfriend says he didn’t want to say it in front of the parents but damn they have a hot daughter. EW EW EW!!! Mish pulls a face at that too. The parents have a giggle at it.

Boyfriend says Kirsten feels as hot as he’s always thought she was. Awww.

Janet’s got some life back in her eyes, husband says. She’s excited to start the new life with her family.

Next is the re-reveal of Gerald and Todd’s makeover. Shannan doesn’t want them to miss out on this chance to strut down the catwalk.

Gerald’s looking very dapper in his suit tonight, even if some of the crowd are in some very… *casual*… outfits. Gerald doesn’t feel like he’s sacrificed anything, he’s just seen it as something to work through. The pain doesn’t matter you just get up every day and start it again.

Time to see Todd again. Shannan says he’s the youngest competitor and no matter what they do there’s always an annoying spark in his eyes and a cheeky grin on his face.

Todd’s got a maroon leather jacket, tshirt and blue jeans tonight. He’s loving the attention, too. Todd used to go to school, get teased, go home and comfort eat and that was his whole life.

Holo-Todd is there to razz him. Asking the crowd if he’s got the muscles now, if he’ll get the ladies now. Then Holo-Todd wishes him good luck and wanders off. Todd says his life has changed and he’s basically won already. And both of them are proud of each other. Awww!

Next up Mandy and Brett. With Mandy coming out first.

She has a pretty patterned blue dress on and a shorter fluffier hairdo. She’s very different to her old self, she says. She was a frumpy old housewife before and now she’s a work in progress, she says. Shannan says she’s being modest, she’s an extreme sportswoman now. And it all started with that cliff jump on the first day.

Mandy’s main reason for coming on the show was her son, Brett asked her to do the show with him and it’s the best thing she’s ever done.

Brett’s transformation is even better, Shannan says, because he fractured his wrist halfway through the show.

Brett looks like a TOOL. Has a sharp part in his hair with it slicked down, wearing a flanelette shirt. Looks like an old-timey lumberjack. Rubbish. But he says his Mum looks fantastic and he thanks her for coming on the show with him.

Then it’s time to wheel out the family. Dad, sister and… some ridiculously tanned guy. Is that the sister’s boyfriend? I don’t know. Anyway.

Dad says Mandy looks lovely now, Shannan’s done a top job. Brett’s a top bloke, Shannan says, and Dad says it’s true so Brett should start believing it.

Steve then introduces the “best friends” father and daughter team, Richard and Amber. Richard first, of course. We get a replay of Richard saying he’s not attracted to himself so why would his wife be attracted to him. Um…

Anyway, he’s in a gray jacket with a red sweater underneath. Looks quite reserved and nice, unlike what’s on the inside.

Lots of fireworks between the two of them and the trainers have been trying to crack that nut for the whole time.

Time to see Amber. She promised to find the happy person hiding within her.

She’s looking pretty happy with all the attention as she comes out on the catwalk in a bright yellow loose top. She says she felt like Beyonce at the Super Bowl. Richard says she looks beautiful but I guess he’s seeing her through Dad eyes. Because he adds that now the inner beauty is matched by the outer beauty. So he’s obviously not been watching the show…

Family time… after they’ve obviously seen their holograms because they’re up the other end of the catwalk. Weird. Anyway, big hugs between husband and wife and Amber’s visiting with her sister and her niece. Awww.

Steve reminds us that Richard and his wife could barely talk to each other before. Now they’re having a big long cuddle and when they split the wife goes to hug Steve and thank him.

Then Richard introduces his granddaughter to Steve, saying he’s pretty hot, isn’t he? Steve and the crowd have a chuckle at that.

Richard says they were lost and he doesn’t exist without her, she’s the love of his life, etc. They’ll put together the broken things because they’re a family and that’s what families do. Smoochies!

Amber tells us it’s one of the best days of her life because they feel like a family again. Awwww.

Challenge day! Everyone piles into cars and heads off. Katie’s excited, she says it’s an adventure.

They’re at an equestrian park, apparently. Amber thinks maybe it’ll have something to do with horses?

Nope! Five way tug of war it is.

Kirsten’s worried because they’re the smallest team still in the house so they don’t have much of a chance.

Each team will be strapped into a harness and attached to a chain. The objective is to reach a paddle on your side. First team to get two paddles from their side wins the challenge and a half kilo advantage at the next weigh in.

But the challenge won’t be over at that point. The challenge is also about not coming last. As each team gets their two paddles they’re out of the tug of war and safe. The last team without their two paddles gets a half kilo weight penalty.

Everyone’s hooked in and ready to go… ready, steady, go!

Right from the start nobody’s going anywhere very fast. Gerald and Todd seem to be making the most progress after the first bit of straining while Janet and Kirsten are being slowly drawn towards the centre of the ring.

Interestingly light blue and orange are on opposite sides and thus mostly having to pull against each other. Robyn’s trying to pull like a standard tug of war but Katie thinks it’s better to pull more like a draught horse.

Gerald and Todd have the right idea, knuckling down and holding the strain against their opponents until they take a bit of a rest and then pulling hard. It works out well for them and they’re the first ones to get a paddle.

After that first victory Richard asks if Robyn’s got his back. So Richard’s going to try and give them the win. But Amber’s not thrilled by that idea.

Janet’s annoyed that they’re making deals and the pink girls are on their own again. Kirsten says who gives a shit, just don’t come last!

Amber’s getting fired up. She doesn’t want to give up, asks Richard if they’re going to give up the title of Biggest Loser as well? Nope!

Amber realises how hard it’s going to be to win though and decides to say bugger it and let Robyn and Katie win. Quitter!

As Robyn and Katie finally manage to grab a paddle Mandy goes down very awkwardly, twisting her leg up badly.

And Robyn waves her paddle in the direction of Richard and Amber and they blur her mouth out so I guess there was some potty mouth going on!

Katie thinks that being let through means they can trust Richard and Amber. I think she’s delusional!

Richard’s just planning on not coming last, now.

And now Gerald and Todd are trying to help Brett and Mandy get a paddle? What even is going on?

But Richard’s a bit too strong and Mandy and Brett aren’t making enough headway. Amber says that the pink team is like Switzerland at this point!

Then Janet wants to give up again and Kirsten’s annoyed, again! Don’t give up, keep going. Kirsten’s pissed!

But then while pink and blue are strategising and green’s trying to get grey to the paddles orange manages to sneak their second paddle and wins the challenge. Robyn says it’s good to have friends!

Mandy and Brett aren’t impressed. Richard says it’s a game, Mandy’s still cooking dinner. Mandy says they can get stuffed, cook their own dinners!

Down to four teams. Only green has a paddle. Grey comes over to ask for green’s help in getting both their paddles because Gerald and Todd could beat either of the other two teams. Well, here’s hoping that doesn’t backfire on them!

Brett and Mandy are now safe and it’s down to pink, blue and green for the race to last place.

Kirsten’s getting frustrated with her Mum because she seems like she’s already given up. Kirsten tells her Mum to get in a good headspace or she’ll kick her arse!

Kirsten’s trying to make a plan to swap off getting paddles between them and the blue team, a plan blue readily agrees with because they get to get their paddle first. Then, obviously, blue will shaft them and try for their second paddle to doom pink…

Gerald and Todd know they don’t have the muscle to resist two teams at once so they just anchor down as best they can and make them work for it.

Amber then tips her hand and says that no matter what way it goes, they’ve got pink’s back. Sure they do. Sure.

Gerald tells Janet that blue will make them come last. Amber objects to that, saying there’s no need to be mean. Erm, he’s just telling the truth. You admit as much right afterwards, saying you’ll be going for your paddle after pink’s!

Green and blue both have one paddle, pink have two remaining. Pink and blue team up again and pink get their paddle.

Gerald’s knackered, too. So he’s doing it rough.

Robyn’s suggesting to Richard that they let pink get their second paddle because he and Amber can beat Gerald and Todd. But Richard and Amber are planning on getting their second paddle.

And Kirsten whispers to Janet, “Janet, we’ve got them on our side, just pull.” Erm, she really did say Janet. She usually says Mum, doesn’t she? Odd.

And, as expected, it’s a three way tug of war. Green’s getting close to their paddle and then pink try to move over to blue’s side a bit to try and hold green back but of course blue uses that chance to grab their paddle.

And afterwards Janet seems actually surprised that they were betrayed. She really is one of the stupidest people ever, isn’t she?

Anyway, it’s now down to pink versus green and unless green let pink win you’d have to figure that’s the end of it, right? Janet’s a quitter and Kirsten doesn’t have the strength to do it on her own. Amber’s telling them they can beat green though. Ha!

Janet’s annoyed and recalls Gerald saying that that was exactly what would happen. Janet says to Kirsten that she’s pissed the game has changed and Kirsten says it really hasn’t.

Richard tells us he reckons pink will get dragged backwards very fast but they’re encouraging them all the same.

And once the tugging starts Gerald and Todd absolutely annihilate pink, dragging them backwards like they’re barely even there. It all happens so fast Janet thinks the competition is still on and tries to pull again. Amber and Katie are consoling Kirsten afterwards who says that it was over before it began because of Janet.

Gerald tells us they didn’t pull as hard as they could because they didn’t want to hurt the pink girls. Awww!

Kirsten says to Robyn that she’s going to punch her Mum in the face and Kirsten’s telling Richard and Amber that she’d given up right at the start, swearing her head off.

Gerald follows after Janet and reminds her it’s just a game and Janet’s obviously realised that now, can’t trust anyone, etc etc.

Moron.

Amber tries to tell Janet afterwards that she meant it when she said they’re in the alliance. Pfft.

Sunday night, time for another weigh in. Last chance training, including a special session with Danny Geale for Shannan’s people and a potential puke out of Janet. Then elimination and there’s an intimation Richard’s scheming may finally see him undone. Gee, that’d be great, wouldn’t it?
