TBL 11×04 – Welcome to Thunderdome! Three fatties enter, two fatties leave!

Previously on The Biggest Loser we were only three episodes into the season and an elimination has already taken place. Poor old Jenny was sent home by Team Blue, mostly because she volunteered, so it wasn’t that sad.

Tonight we’re treated to the first weigh-in of the season. And then the losing team will be facing up to another elimination, but this season it’s different! The three lowest weightlosing contestants will face off in some kind of arena based competition… to the death?

Probably not to the death. The show isn’t that grim.

Don’t forget, we get to vote this year on who ultimately wins the show, based on the best transformation overall. Start saving your pennies, kids!

For now, the very first time having last chance training for the year. Jenny’s gone, Shannan asks what happened. Jenny was worried she might have to leave anyway so she was happy to go home. Matt also volunteered, Shannan asks him if he still wants to be there, and how much does he want to be there? 70%, Matt says. Which isn’t good enough for anyone.

Brett asks if we’d be happy getting 70% of your wages for the week. Dunno, ask a woman?

TBL 11×03 – Headshrinking, artistry and an elimination. Yes, already!

Previously on The Biggest Loser Transformed the contestants set their benchmark fitness levels and had their very first cooking lesson cum cooking challenge.

Tonight, breakdowns and breakthroughs. Many tears in the gym, many tears with the new psychologist. And then an elimination challenge, a version of the old Stacks On, where contestants have to hold a loaded bar on their shoulders. Presumably the last one still holding their bar will win, but will the first to drop be out?

Shannan’s team turns up for training, they’re all still buzzing from the win at the cooking challenge yesterday. They inform Shannan they’ve got an advantage in the elimination challenge and Shannan is surprised there’s one already, but nevermind that. Did everyone train this morning? Yes! Except Jenny, who wasn’t feeling well that morning. Nevermind that either, Shannan’s not ready to let any of them go yet. Time to introduce some competition to… the competition. Shannan’s going to set some goals for each of them, if they achieve the goal they pass, if they don’t they fail.

TBL 10×38 – Penultimate Weigh In, Elimination, Elimination, Juice!

Previously on The Biggest Loser Familes we saw Tony win another challenge, gaining “Ultimate Immunity”, a pass straight to the finale tomorrow night. We also saw Sam grab a payout of $20,000 to leave the game early, as she felt she would not be able to win regardless.

Tonight, the very last weigh in at Camp Biggest Loser for the year. This one looks to be a bit different, with a red line in play as well. Possibly signifying an instant elimination for the person who has lost the least weight in the week? Two other people will be below the yellow line and two others will be safe above the line. Or, probably, Tony and one other will be safe.

Things do not look good for the last remaining contestant not of the Jofre family. Can Tenealle lose enough weight to secure her safety one last time, or is this the end of the road for the Auvale team?

This is it, people. Time to weigh in. Right after Fiona throws one last curve ball. The person who records the lowest weightloss percentage tonight will fall below the red line and will be immediately eliminated from the competition. The next two lowest will be below the yellow line and will face a vote. Only two votes, only really matters if Tenealle is above the line, huh?

TBL 10×35 – All Hailwood Elimination. How Screwed Is Cliff?

Previously on The Biggest Loser the Super Challenge resulted in Tony, Cliff and Sam returning to the competition after Ali failed a calorie counting challenge she should have aced. Oh dear, we are all so sad!

At the weigh in another disappointing result from Cliff and Sam has sent them below the yellow line. Together. A Hailwood is definitely going straight back home, but will it be Sam or Cliff? Sam wants to save Cliff but Cliff’s the bigger threat and the Jofres will definitely vote for him, right?

Well, we’ll see. Stranger things have happened. And Sam does seem more likely to actually lose the weight than Cliff!

First, Sam and Cliff are having a chat about facing elimination. Cliff is “devo”, he tells Sam. Sam wants Cliff to stay because he’s got more weight to lose, but she’s disappointed to go home after fighting so hard to get back in. Cliff tells us he’d go in Sam’s place if he could, she means everything to him. Awww!

TBL 10×32 – Tony v Rob Elimination. Tense.

Previously on The Biggest Loser two of the Jofres put on weight at the weekly weigh in. Two! Tony and Rob. Now they face elimination together. With two Jofres voting and two Auvales neither can be too sure they’re safe. Will the Jofre boys save their brother or uncle? Will the Auvales want to send the brother or uncle home?

And then, from deep down the river, drumming. They are coming…

The eliminated contestants, not filthy orcses. They’re back for their second chance. You’d have to pick either Tony or Rob as favourite to win their way back into the house, right? Some of the contestants have worked hard on the outside though. Maybe a Moses or Sam could fight back?

We’ll see. First, elimination room time. Going to be rough going on the Jofres. None of the other teams have really had to do this before, vote out one of their own.
