Previously on The Biggest Loser, ALL the Switzerland. And Graham was sent home at the end of the Uber Challenge, much to the disappointment of people other than me.

Tonight the remaining contestants return “home” to Camp Biggest Loser to surprises galore. First some special visitors and then a surprise announcement at the weigh in.

It’s not going to be a Final Four this year, Hayley announces somewhat ominously.

Margie says they’ve had an amazing week in Switzerland but now they need to get back to normality at Camp.

As they get into Loser Lounge they have a letter already. Hayley’s left them a homecoming present of some kind. UHOH!

There’s a very loud knock on the front door and they go off to see who’s there. Nobody normally knocks on the door so perhaps it’s axe murderers?

Tonight! More footage from The Biggest Loser’s trip to Switzerland. Big fluffy doggy, more ice bathing, more snow angels!

Also, Lydia will face her fear of swimming with sharks? Come on, that’s a perfectly reasonable fear that does not require any adjustment to one’s activities to avoid. Why even bother facing that one?

Margie will also be tempted by Mish with some swiss bread with melted swiss cheese all over it.

Bek’s the first video recordist we see video from. She’s interviewing Brenda about her fears (jumping off cliffs or out of a plane!) and Margie says her Mum can have her house if she doesn’t come back on account of being dead.
Alex is fearful of Fear Week and that’s all he’s got to say.

Lots of OH MY GOD and stuff. Very funny.

Previously on The Biggest Loser… SWITZERLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!

I like Switzerland. It’s pretty. :)

The Reflection Hike for this year was over snow capped mountains and is ending with a plunge into an icy lake. I’m feeling cold just looking at the recapped footage.

Tonight! The Super Duper Switzerland Uber Challenge begins. Thrills AND spills are promised and it all culminates in one contestant being eliminated from the competition.

If the elimination doesn’t happen before the end of this NINETY MINUTE EPISODE I’m going to be even more cranky than usual!

But first, more people dunking themselves into the icy lake.

Previously on The Biggest Loser Margie jumped off a cliff and totally didn’t die. What a twist!

Face Your Fears week has been a little underwhelming in Switzerland, I must say. Rope swing for two people, abseil for Graham and three skydives? Seen it all before. Come up with new things!

Tonight! The Reflection Hike. A long walk through the snowy wastes of Switzerland, carrying their previous weeks’ weightloss in a backpack. Why didn’t they do this and then “leave it all behind” with their Face Your Fears thing?

Whatever. Lots of crying ahead! Lots of disbelief that they used to weigh so much!

Everyone’s still loving the scenery. Margie’s still excited after facing her fears and looking forward to whatever today brings, same with Alex.

Previously on The Biggest Loser Lydia got eliminated and NARY A SINGLE TEAR WAS SHED.

Tonight. SWITZERLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND! \o/

Face Your Fears week starts and it looks like there might be some pikers in the group. Will trainer-badgers shame them into jumping off cliffs and out of helicopters and stuff? I hope so!

Another morning dawns at Camp Biggest Loser and the contestants are all woken up by the sound of bells and horns. They shuffle out of their rooms and head out to the paradeground where there’s snow falling as they head out the doors. Snow! In Sydney!

Oh, you mean it’s fake snow? Okay…
