The official site has been updated with a whole bunch of new videos, but the most important bit is this…

Season 6 of The Biggest Loser Australia starts Sunday, January 30th, at 6.30pm on Channel 10.

Ten more days! Or thereabouts.

There’s interviews with Hayley and the four trainers up on the official site here: clicky.

Six of the contestants – four from Michelle’s team, two from Tiffiny’s – have also been interviewed.

Best to start with Damien’s interview. The 2011 Damien, much like the 2007 model, sets a new Biggest Loser Australia record for heaviest contestant. And it’s not hard to see why.

That is one ample looking fellow. Mish will certainly have her work cut out for her this year.

Is it the 30th yet? :-)

Via a friend of a friend I bring this potentially interesting news to you.

Sunday, February 13th at 7am, a group of crazy people will be willingly subjecting themselves to a training session with The Biggest Loser’s Commando Steve. And you can join them!

More details are available on the event’s page at Facebook, but the most important part is that it’s in Sydney. Brighton Le Sands, to be precise. So if you can’t be in Sydney on the 13th you can save yourself some time. :-)

It’s not a free training session but with Steve having a team to himself and a lot more screen time on the show this year it’ll probably be the cheapest session you’ll get with him any time soon. Meet the man in person! Have him shout at you! Wet your pants! It’ll be awesome!

Remember, you need to go to the page on Facebook if you want to attend. I’m just passing on the message. It won’t count if you just tell me. :-)

Frequent viewers of Channel 10 (and sad, sad people who watched the Oprah show) may have spotted some early teaser clips for the upcoming sixth season of The Biggest Loser Australia.

I haven’t seen them myself… but I have seen the teaser trailers that have recently appeared on the official site.

Have you? Read on for my thoughts on the clips.
Haven’t seen them yet? Click through to see them for yourself! (Or see some broken links until I go back and fix them if I’ve done something wrong.)

(And yes, this does mean I’ll be back for another season of recapping. :-) )

If you’re the sort who tends to avoid any pre-show articles on The Biggest Loser you probably missed the reports that a contestant in this year’s show has been charged with possessing child pornography.

The producers of the show have made the decision to edit both him and his partner out of the show entirely, removing any references to them ever having been there. Hopefully they won’t just replace planned clips of that couple with even more repeats of earlier footage of other contestants…

What follows is somewhat more of a spoiler so I will put it after the break…

I’m trying to keep my enthusiasm in check but after watching that Sneak Peek I have to admit I am intrigued!
