Previously on The Biggest Loser all the contestants got soaked in the challenge but Janet and Kirsten won, earning themselves immunity!

Tonight! Explosions! Amber wants out of the show even though she only just survived elimination. Everyone’s telling her she’s not working hard enough and Mish says it’s because she’s not. Go Mish!

Also a bombshell at weigh in – the trainers will be the ones to send a team home, not the contestants. Michelle doesn’t want to, Steve seems content to do it.

As the show starts Shannan has a couple of groups in for Last Chance Training. Each pair has to do 600 reps of the various repetition stages and 8km on the treadmills and cross trainers. He’s looking to hit every part of their bodies. He was disappointed in Kevin’s efforts at the challenge. He only held the chain up for 15 seconds. Shannan says it wasn’t Kevin’s body that gave up, it was his mind. Kevin’s been using every excuse in the book to get out of training, Shannan tells us, but today he’s doing a lot better.

Rosemary says Kevin’s pushing himself now and it’s lovely to see.

Previously on The Biggest Loser, Brett done broked his arm!

Tonight the pink ladies get a VIP guest. Everyone’s sort of expecting it to be their respective partners but we’ll see. Also the weekly challenge involves the contestants being chained to a wall with a bucket of water over their heads. Drop your arms, get drenched. Oh no!

Everyone’s still trying to guess who it could be. Might be a sporty person. Maybe a past contestant?

And the doors open and it’s… yup, it’s their partners. Janet’s husband is quite normal sized. Kirsten’s boyfriend Liam is quite normal sized.

Bet the yellow girls are wishing they kept the fridge for themselves now!

Last night on The Biggest Loser Richard and Sam butted heads over Jess’ dreams of fat fame.

Tonight! Surprise basketball training session ends in disaster. DISASTER, Mr Voiceover Man declares. Also pictures from their past brings out some more tears. Don’t know if whoever had the disaster will get to see these pictures. They’re probably tearsing enough at the hospital anyway.

The game feels a lot more real, Amber says, now they’ve had an elimination. She sounds like a massive bogan while saying it, no wonder she got on the show.

The Biggest Loser Australia has again run into trouble in the early stages of the season with an “incident” involving two contestants that has since been referred to the authorities.

Neither news.com.au, New Idea nor Channel Ten is explaining any further but if the authorities are investigating an “inappropriate relationship” it sounds like one or both involved may be underage?

Regardless of the cause it resulted in two of the families being removed from the show very late in the process, potentially after filming had already started?

This would certainly explain some of the shenanigans around not having a couple eliminated the first week and instead introducing two new couples after the weigh in. Anita and Cher, Rosemary and Kevin may have been reserve contestants who were then pulled in to even the number of teams back out.

And the producers think they need to manufacture drama for the show!

(Thanks for the tip, Gissy!)

Previously on The Biggest Loser they did the half ass fat ass half marathon, earning three couples a 1kg advantage at weigh in. Cher and her Mum have Shannan all to themselves until weigh in, but will it be enough to keep them safe?

Tonight! Big Kev has not turned up to training and Tiny Michelle is NOT HAPPY. Cher’s not coping well with the gruelling training, either. She doesn’t want to do any of it anymore. Awww.

And the first competitive weigh in and elimination are coming up tonight. It should be the second, but they got out of it the first time by collectively losing 100kg!

But as the episode starts we’re treated to Kevin lying in bed and not training. He’s struggling after the half marathon, as you might expect. His Mum says he needs a rest and he’ll be staying in bed, on her orders it seems.

I’m not sure Mish will see it that way!
