Loser bumped to Wednesday night. In other news…
The Biggest Loser Australia returns tomorrow night, 7.30pm. Presumably to try and dodge some of the mauling My Kitchen Rules has been inflicting on it in the ratings.
But off in America-land they’ve been dealing with something of a controversy arising from their most recent series finale. Winner Rachel Frederickson shed over 60 percent of her body weight to take both the title and the record for most weightloss by percentage in any season worldwide.
Naturally this has drawn a past contestant of our own out of the woodwork, along with perennial fingerpointer and former host Ajay Rochester.
First we have season 3 contestant Andrew ‘Cosi’ Costello, who spills the beans on the fake weigh in scales used for TV and that it’s not always exactly a week between weigh ins. Hardly surprising news to most folk, though the time between weigh ins is something one would hope they’ve worked on in recent seasons.
Ajay’s back too, with her claims of contestants drinking tea tree oil and dehydrating themselves to a dangerous extent. She’s offering online consultations to help people lose weight, which seems a little ridiculous given she can’t keep her own weight under control. It’s a tough struggle, no doubt, but if she doesn’t have the answers for herself why would people trust her advice? Bit odd.
Before I link to the story I feel it’s important to warn there’s a picture of Ajay in a bikini and a picture of Rachel Frederickson at the finale. Both may be disturbing to some viewers!
