Whilst being filmed exercising prior to the finale Kevin was whisked off to hospital, thanks to an irregular heartbeat. It doesn’t sound too serious, but it’s a timely reminder of the health risks involved in morbid obesity.

There’s not many more details available but perhaps we’ll learn more come Tuesday. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Kev!

Previously on The Biggest Loser we all went camping in New Zealand, hooray!

Well, the contestants went camping. Except for the King and Fat Princess who got to stay in a fancy lodge.

Tonight there’s some more racing ahead. Including the traditional trek with their weightloss to date packed into their backpacks. Also, even more river paddling.

Paddling three nights in a row? Oh you better believe that’s a paddlin’.

But first, SHEEP! Was beginning to suspect they weren’t even in New Zealand but then they showed some sheep which obviously proves it.

Previously on The Biggest Loser the contestants flew to New Zealand and boy are their arms tired, ho ho ho.

Face your fears week started, alongside the traditional long race to decide the first people into finale.

Tonight the second leg of the race starts and includes both cycling and two kinds of rafting. TWO! And it looks like Janet, Kirsten or both may end up drowning in the middle of a lake after they snap in the most spectacular fashion thus far.

But it’s time to start the second leg of the race. Everyone enjoying their Queenstown adventure so far? Richard says it’s a ripsnorter and Robyn’s been facing some fears she didn’t even expect. Like the fear of Katie dragging her down. But they’ve ended the day on the high note with the swing so hopefully today’s adventure goes more smoothly.

Previously on The Biggest Loser Brett and Mandy got sent home despite the supposed final four pledge from the other teams.

Tonight the contestants are off to New Zealand to face their fears and compete for the golden ticket into the finale. Lots of tears and angry faces and jumping off of things ahead!

All the fatties are asleep in their beds… though conveniently most are in clothing or pyjama wear suitable for heading out to see the New Zealand maoris doing a haka. But first, a loud tootling horn wakes them up. The girls all think maybe it’s Todd playing a prank but it’s not. Todd’s in a UFC shirt and apparently wears his watch to bed. Weird.

Previously on The Biggest Loser Robyn and Katie won a half kilo advantage at the next weigh in while King Dick’s scheming, conniving ways left Janet and Kirsten with a half kilo penalty.

Tonight is weigh in night once more. Will this be the week King Dick’s weightloss won’t be enough to drag Amber’s weak losses over the line?

But first, last chance training. Janet and Kirsten are first to face Mish, their trainer. They’re nervous about facing her because they have the half kilo disadvantage from losing. Especially since they got “screwed over” by light blue, Janet says. Cue replay of light blue screwing them over. And Janet tells Mish it really upset her. But Mish takes a deep breath and says she’s not going to let that beat them. Time for last chance training and Mish is planning to smash them today!

Mish is wearing another in her line of training gear. It has a window to her cleavage! I approve, obviously.
