8×20 – The Eliminees Strike Back

Previously on The Biggest Loser Anita and Cher were sent home after losing the least weight AGAIN. The official Facebook page says it was the most emotional yet but I would have thought that’s still in Kevin and Rosemary’s hands?

Tonight it’s challenge night… But not! It’s all an elaborate ruse to disguise the returning contestants getting their chance to come back into the game at last!

Richard’s leading the celebrations for everyone in the kitchen. Final four, wooo! Gerald then brings up if the blues and greys have an alliance. He tells us they’re all calling him the King now and he hates it.

Richard asks if Gerald wants to have the conversation now or off camera and Gerald says no, now. Richard denies the alliance… then says that they have relationships in the house and if they stabbed him in the back he’d be disappointed. Soooo it’s an alliance. They just don’t want to call it that because OOOH REALITY TV ALLIANCES BAD EVIL. Etc.

8×19 – Contestants return from being home and thus away

Previously on The Biggest Loser… Oh yeah! Half the contestants went home for the rest of the week thanks to the “power” of The Fridge.

And Amber whined about it SO DAMN MUCH. Anita went to hospital after an incident during training. We haven’t discovered what happened to her yet. Maybe tonight?

Tonight! Richard’s going to call Amber lazy which has probably been a long time coming. There’ll be a weigh in and an elimination, probably. With Anita’s injury it’s possible she’ll just be sent home with Cher and that’ll be counted as the elimination for the week.

Mish is the first trainer for Last Chance. It’s Richard and Katie with her and they don’t know what’s going on with their partners at home. But Mish is sure these two are willing to do the work. Michelle then points to some logs on the ground and tells her contestants she’s going to beat them with the logs. She cackles evilly.

8×18 – Anita rips herself a new one

Previously on The Biggest Loser Amber chucked a tantrum because she still had to do exercise when she was at home.

Tonight a workout and then the weekly challenge. This week it’s a brains vs brawn challenge with the at-home contestants having to answer questions while the at-Fat-Camp contestants have to hold a weight off the ground. A weight that gradually increases as their at-home partner gets answers wrong.

Mish is urging her people on, telling them they’re carrying the bag for their teams this week. The others have gone home, get to sleep in their own bed, see their families, etc. The people still at Camp have to focus on losing the weight just in case the people sent home don’t lose any weight this week.

8×17 – Amber is a whining whiny whiner!

Previously on The Biggest Loser Chris and Mark were sent home at the elimination after failing to lose enough weight and falling prey to an alliance within the house.

Tonight Anita and Cher will get their chance at a leap of faith. They didn’t get to do the original leap of faith and they chickened out of doing the abseiling. Looks like they might wuss out of jumping into the pool from a diving platform tonight. Also, Gerald has some sort of shocking revelation to share with Shannan. And The Fridge is promising BIG THINGS tonight. But can it deliver?

But as the episode picks up the contestants are chowing down on a huge lamb roast. Richard tells us he won’t miss Chris and Mark and now they’ve all started calling him King Richard because Mark said he sent the pawn in for the king at elimination. Richard doesn’t mind, thinks it’s all fun mind games.

Next day Commando Steve has Richard and Amber, Brett and Mandy for training out on the lawn. Steve reminds them that alliances don’t matter, just losing the weight to stay above the Yellow Line.

8×16 – You are part of the Fatty Alliance and a traitor!

Previously on The Biggest Loser it was kids versus parents all week and the parents thrashed the kids every time so this was an experiment totally worth doing!

Tonight it’s Last Chance Training time. Lots of fun, lots of sweat, lots of tears. Then the weigh in and there’s drama there, too. Talk of maybe an alliance or just general discontent amongst the teams? Guess we’ll have to keep going to find out…

Commando Steve has the parents for Last Chance and… Chris isn’t there. Because he lost a toenail at the challenge. So he’s out of training for 24-48 hours Richard says. So who else trained? Only Robyn put her hand up and she only trained for 30 minutes. Mandy had panadeine the night before and was told to rest until the session with the trainer. Richard was stuffed after the challenge. Gerald was stuffed, had a soreness running down to his right foot. Anita, at least, confesses she has no excuse!

Most of the kids didn’t train either. Amber says she needed to catch up on sleep. Shannan’s disappointed!

Steve’s telling the parents that when they voice the excuses it becomes obvious how weak those excuses are.

Shannan wants the kids to show him they can be self motivated to train hard and fast. But clearly they can’t, you’ve got to be there Shannan!
