Previously on The Biggest Loser we met our new set of families, welcomed Tiffiny Hall back to the show and the trainers put on a bunch of weight by eating everything their families were eating before coming on the show.

Tonight, the very first competitive weigh in for the series. But first we find out who wins the plane pull and gains a 5kg penalty to dump on another family, something which will surely not cause any drama amongst the teams.

They’re teasing an elimination tonight but it’s not happening until tomorrow. All we’ll find out tonight is which two families will be choosing who to throw under the bus.

As the plane pull stuff starts up again the Pestells are stuck metres from the line. After a bunch more effort and pulling and arguing they get the plane moving again and manage to just pip the Auvales, who finish their pull not long after.

Terry of the Pestells realises they’ll have to pull the plane again yet, he’s a bit less excited but glad the team got it done.

Season 3 contestant Alison Braun has popped up again with the new season of the show with a smoking hot selfie posted to instagram, comparing her on the show with her current self.

Alison Braun – no makeup, no hair stylist

Not bad for a 42 year old, huh?

You can read some more of her thoughts on her Instagram post.

And don’t forget to tune in for the first competitive weigh-in tonight, followed by a slightly less competitive recap!

Previously on The Biggest Loser… so many foods, so many eatings, so many horrors.

We also met our new host who set the very first challenge of the season. First to the new house will get immunity for the first elimination, a huge prize.

Tonight the challenge continues and once they arrive at Camp the trainers will finally weigh in after their week of indulgences. How much weight will they have put on and who will have put on the most?

Then they’re going to do another plane pull, cool! Love those ridiculous challenges. It’s amazing what humans can do!

But as the episode picks up we see the Hailwoods getting on their ferry, though it’s still unclear whether they’ve chosen wisely.

Previously on The Biggest Loser the trainers met their families and ate a whole bunch of unhealthy food and look, we’re all really interested in the show but IS TONY ABBOTT STILL PRIME MINISTER?

I’m writing this recap instead of popcorning the political happenings. Sigh.

Anyway, tonight we have our collection of new fatties weighing in for the very first time. No recordbreakers this year, by the sounds of it, but one is well up there. Johnee, probably? Does anyone think any of them could top him? Certainly not one of the girls, maybe one of the Jofre nephews?

Also we finally meet new host, Fiona Falkiner! She’s perrrrrrrrrrdy. She’ll be introducing the first challenge of the year, making their way to the new Camp Biggest Loser.

First group we see walking in to be weighed up is the Pestell family. They’re at the local surf club with a big crowd of onlookers/wellwishers. That’s got Mel a bit nervous because everyone’s going to know just how big she is. Jodie doesn’t really want to go in front of them at all.

Shannan says he’s enjoyed the company in the past week immensely, but the diet has been terrible. He’s most concerned for single Mum Ali and wants them to take control before the bad habits become too ingrained in the next generation.

Ali’s the first to weigh in.

The following program is classified PG – Pretty Great? Plenty Gorgeous? Porky Gutful?

It’s time once more for The Biggest Loser. The tenth season is kicking off and we’re fatter than ever. We’re one of the fattest nations on Earth. So Mr Voiceover Man says we’re going back to what matters, families!

One lady needs to lose weight to have a baby, one man feels like he’s failed his family, one guy I could swear I saw at Maccas today says he’ll probably be dead in 10 years.

Once again we have all four trainers on deck, Michelle, Shannan, Commando and Tiffiny.

The Hailwoods are young parents wanting to break the cycle of obesity. The Auvales are a Samoan family who celebrate life through food. The Auvales still live at home. The Pestells are sisters battling against their weight – and each other. Because they’re girls, what do you expect?
