TBL 11×14 – Today in not-scientifically-supported nonsense, Equine-assisted therapy!

Previously on The Biggest Loser Transformed… Blue won another victory, what the hell guys?

Josh of the Broken Rib was sent home at the resulting elimination, which made everyone rather sad.

Today! A mind health session in the countryside with Glenn, and a pony!

Training for Team Orange gets rough as the reality of the competition sets in. Not so much with the roughness for Blue in training.

Later, another team challenge, head to head mode again.

First, Blue Team tell Shannan that Josh has gone home. Shannan asks if he fell on his own sword, but the guys say it’s not so much that, but it probably played a role because he was in so much pain.

Today’s training session has Blue focusing on the “why” of their participation in the show. They’re halfway through the show, Shannan tells us, so it starts to become a grind. They’ve not been at home for a few weeks, they might still have a few weeks to go and the weightloss has slowed down. Shannan wants to keep his contestants fired up and motivated.

Brett says toughness is doing what you’re told you can’t do. Shannan tells us toughness isn’t “crass, aggressive or heartless”, it’s a state of mind.

TBL 11×09 – Not enough mud, need more mud, mud mud mud!

Previously on The Biggest Loser Transformed the two teams were tasked with creating a healthy, low cost meal. And the Blue Team actually won for a change!

Tonight it’s another elimination challenge. An epic obstacle course set in Glenworth Valley. Blue have some kind of advantage for the challenge so there’s a chance they might not fail miserably!

Fiona’s in the middle of a muddy paddock with Libby and Shannan and she confirms they’re there for an obstacle course challenge, with the losing team joining her in the elimination room to vote out one of their own.

Week 3, anyone carrying any injuries? Luke and Josh were tussling in the kitchen and he copped an elbow in the ribs. Has a sweet bruise to show for it, but the medics have advised he sit out of the challenge. Real smart, guys!

TBL 11×06 – Can Team Blue win anything, ever, or are they DOOMED?

Previously on The Biggest Loser Transformed… a day without an elimination! Dr Andrew Rochford revealed how much disgusting fat the contestants were all carrying around without mentioning it’s perfectly normal to have some fat in your body.

Sarah Wilson talked a bunch of crap about sugar and then had the contestants cook some healthy-ish alternatives to everyone’s favourite chocolate biscuit thing, Wagon Wheels!

Tonight it’s another big team challenge, with an elimination looming at the end.

Back at Camp Biggest Loser Team Orange has exclusive use of all the gym equipment, so Team Blue are at a big disadvantage, Orange thinks. Easy to get your heart rate up in the gym, harder outside it.

Team Blue are… standing around talking about what they could do, instead of doing it! They’ve all recognised that a lack of equipment will be a problem when they get home as well, so they’re coming up with ideas like shadow boxing, pushups and running laps of their tennis court. There’s also a running track up and over a hill.
