Previously on The Biggest Loser Transformed… Blue won another victory, what the hell guys?

Josh of the Broken Rib was sent home at the resulting elimination, which made everyone rather sad.

Today! A mind health session in the countryside with Glenn, and a pony!

Training for Team Orange gets rough as the reality of the competition sets in. Not so much with the roughness for Blue in training.

Later, another team challenge, head to head mode again.

First, Blue Team tell Shannan that Josh has gone home. Shannan asks if he fell on his own sword, but the guys say it’s not so much that, but it probably played a role because he was in so much pain.

Today’s training session has Blue focusing on the “why” of their participation in the show. They’re halfway through the show, Shannan tells us, so it starts to become a grind. They’ve not been at home for a few weeks, they might still have a few weeks to go and the weightloss has slowed down. Shannan wants to keep his contestants fired up and motivated.

Brett says toughness is doing what you’re told you can’t do. Shannan tells us toughness isn’t “crass, aggressive or heartless”, it’s a state of mind.

Previously on The Biggest Loser the contestants were training with the GWS Giants, then they had to cook lunch for the boys. Surprisingly, Orange won a cooking challenge and will have some kind of advantage for today’s challenge.

Today! Another team challenge with an elimination on the other end of it. But first, writing things on barrels! For some reason.

Shannan, Libby and Fiona are out front of the Biggest Loser headquarters to greet the contestants today. Team challenge time, winning team safe from elimination, losing team to go to The Arena to vote out a member of their team.

Luke, how’s your transformation going so far? He’s a little frustrated with his progress but he’s pushing through it, unlike what he would have done before.

Amy says Shannan challenges her every time, in a good way, as is discussing things they wouldn’t normally discuss in the house.

Previously on The Biggest Loser Jake was sent home at the elimination after being unable to beat either Josh or Nikki.

Josh still has a broken rib so he’s still going to be pretty useless at everything, but he’s still there!

“Coming up”, I guess Mr Voiceover Man got the memo. It’s not a night time show anymore! Anyway, the teams are going to train with the GWS Giants and then cook for them.

But first, back at Camp Biggest Loser everyone’s still feeling a bit glum after Jake’s elimination. Everyone liked the big fella. Amy and Lisa-Faye (not a real name) are sad they didn’t get to say goodbye properly. Nikki tells them that he broke down outside the arena and couldn’t come back in.

Previously on The Biggest Loser Amy smashed Simon in the team head to head challenge.

“Tonight”… oh Mr Voiceover Man, has nobody told you? It’s 1pm on a Monday afternoon!

Anyway, in this episode last chance training, a heated weigh-in and a shock elimination in the arena. Exciting!

Team Blue relays the exciting news they won another challenge, head to heads against the Orange team. Shannan’s obviously very impressed by Amy beating Simon, asks how her shoulders are. “Sore”, admits Amy. Worth it for the 1kg advantage they’ll have at the weigh-in later.

Lynton’s a high achiever, Shannan says. He wanted to be a pilot, then an instructor, but as a result his health has suffered along the way. But he’s seeing a changed man now. Lynton’s moving a lot more like a 27 year old, says he’s going to join a gym when he leaves. He’s generally feeling a lot more positive about the direction of his life.

It seems Australians didn’t really want a more realistic version of The Biggest Loser with viewing figures crashing last week. According to TV Tonight it was fifth in its timeslot this week. Fifth!

As a result the show will move to a 1pm afternoon slot, Monday to Thursday. The show was airing replays at that time previously, so it’s not displacing anything while it takes the long march to the grave.

It’s unclear at this stage what will happen with the plans for the finale as viewers were meant to be voting for their favourite transformation to decide the really big prize at the end, instead of just basing it on weightloss percentage.

The Recap will continue to do its thing despite the change in timeslot, so if you miss an episode of the lowest rating series in the show’s history you can still catch up right here!
