TBL 10×03 – Trainers Weigh In, Training Commences!

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.

TBL 10×02 – Princess Fiona Has Arrived! (Also, Weigh-Ins)

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.

TBL 10×01 – Family Feasting Fun Fair!

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?

9×32 – The Biggest Loser: Challenge Australia – Finale Recap

Previously on The Biggest Loser THE ENTIRE FUCKING SEASON!

Tonight it all comes to an end with the finale. Which champion from Ararat will be the most championest of all?

Eleventy weeks ago Shannan and Steve kicked off a revolution in Ararat, dubbed the fattest in the country. Given the tools and assistance they were set the goal of losing 26,000kg during the course of the show. A challenge they accepted and passed!

Lots and lots of recapped footage starts the show. Then a reminder it’s down to Sharon, Craig, Katrina and Toni for the finale tonight. They’ve worked hard for their town, hard for their families and hard for themselves.

And for the finale they’re at the town hall in Ararat. Hayley comes out on a big fancy stage in a hot pink dress to have a natter to the crowd about how the champs have done so well, worked hard, had some fun along the way. But it comes down to tonight, who did the best? Lots of cheers as Hayley announces all the final four’s names.

9×31 – The Penultimate Penultimate and The Punisher!

Previously on The Biggest Loser… eleven weeks of torment! Fourteen champions from Ararat (and Kevin) have been whittled down to just five.

Tonight they’re doing a revisit of The Punisher challenge from week one, with added training thrown in to make it a last chance training session.

Then a final weigh in and a final elimination. Only four get to make it to finale…

And about that. Finale will actually air over TWO NIGHTS. Tuesday and Wednesday next week. God knows why, the ratings have been appalling, just get it over with!

Sharon’s pretty happy for her final training session since she won’t have to go through that pain again but also sad because there’ll be no more Commando. They’re close, she says.

This is also the first training session since the Train the Trainer bit. So it’s going to be a good one.
