9×04 – Dr Death Predicts Champion’s Demise

Previously on The Biggest Loser Ararat was challenged to be slightly less fat!

They could have sent someone home at the first elimination but they chose solidarity over “the game”.

Tonight the first real training session begins. Camp Biggest Loser’s going to disappear in a flood of sweat, tears and vomit!

At some point they’re going to find out when they die, too. Dr Swan’s going to be an even bigger arsehole this year.

And they’re promising Michelle is back tonight and she’s a secret weapon of some kind.

But first everyone’s slowly waking up and getting up out of bed and thinking about breakfast… when a bugler starts sounding off out the front. Everyone trundles out front in their jimjams still, much to Shannan’s amusement. Strange training clothes!

9×03 – The Punisher Punishes Punishees and Pavement

Previously on The Biggest Loser Challenge Australia Ararat The Fattest Town In Australia… Shannan and Steve collected a handpicked crew of “champions” to come back to Camp Biggest Loser for special training, challenges and a bunch of weightloss!

Tonight, Michelle finally shows up! Maybe. Not sure. Who cares what else is happening?

Well, also tonight there’ll be a challenge involving giant chains of doom being dragged across a beach. The champions will hear their bio age (maybe?) along with, for the first time, their expected date of death. Ouch!

But first a tough challenge, walking up and down the front steps of the Opera House… and Mr Voiceover Man is suggesting someone’s journey may be over as a result. DUN DUN DUNNNNN.

As the episode picks up we’re getting a short replay of what happened on Monday, with the champions turning up and meeting Hayley. Hayley immediately sets them a pre-house-warming challenge. She’s calling it “The Punisher”.

9×02 – First Weigh In! Then They Go On A Traiiiin

Previously on The Biggest Loser Commando Steve and Shannan went to the town of Ararat and scared a few kilograms off the residents. And then they trained a few and probably knocked another few off besides.

Tonight the chosen 14 will weigh in for the very first time in front of their friends and families. A new record for heaviest female will be set, apparently. Mary is fairly tall, I guess, so with all that weight stacked on an already large frame the number could be a little scary.

Also there’s going to be some abseiling down a cliff before they can get to the house? I thought climbing the mountain and working out on top was the entry test?

We start the episode with a beautiful sunrise and some lovely bushland. The trainers have the champions on a bushwalk to their next challenge location. Everyone’s still a little tired and sore after yesterday’s epic workout.
But it’s time to prove they’ve got what it takes to get to the house, Shannan says.

9×01 – The Biggest Loser Australia – Ararat – The Recappening!

The Biggest Loser is back with its biggest challenge ever. Can Shannan and the lovebirds whip the entire town of Ararat into shape?

Probably not! But this season’s going to be quite a bit different to past seasons so it should be fun to follow along the various journeys.

With a population numbering in the thousands Ararat has been decreed the most overweight in the country and having seen the advertisements it sounds an accurate description.

But let’s get on with the show, eh?

The Biggest Loser Series 9 Extended Audition Tapes

Rather than auditions to just be on the show, which is sort of open to everyone in Ararat, these are auditions to go to some sort of TBL Boot Camp.

Shannan and Commando Steve are doing the interviewing and you can watch online: Clicky link.

A nurse in training, a nurse who has completed her training and the friendly local supermarket manager guy. Nothing too unusual yet. But Ararat’s probably not brimming with unusual folk, is it?

If you scroll to the bottom of the page there’s some other clips available, including another interview with Cameron, the supermarket man and some more teasers for the show.
