Previously on The Biggest Loser Families… Ummmm. Oh, right, Tony won another challenge and chose to send Johnee home. Because he’s a threat?

We saw the start of another challenge but again we’ve had to wait until tonight to find out who’s going to win. The prize on offer is immunity from elimination and with only one elimination remaining before finale, well, that’s a pretty nice prize, isn’t it?

This challenge has the contestants putting all their old weight back on in the form of sandbags. Do a 400m lap of the track and you can take a week’s worth of weight out of your pack. Then do 11 more laps.

It’s going to be a long, long challenge.

Previously on The Biggest Loser there was a major upset in the elimination room as Mel inexplicably chose to send Moses home over Daniel. Nobody is quite sure why, but it is generally agreed this was one of the weirdest decisions ever.

Johnee was later hospitalised with stress related heart troubles, meaning he’s missed out on the week’s Temptation. The power on offer this week is a doozy as the winner will get to send another contestant home. Eliminated on the spot, not a holiday this time.

First up we’ve got to find out whether Cliff or Tony can get to the golden fork first. Will they both reach for it or will Tony refuse to play?

Tony has the greatest advantage in the game, since he gets to go last. He could win by eating just one meal.

The final meal is an ice cream sundae. Worth 743 calories! Tony was hoping for a parmagiana.

Wrists on the edge of the table, good luck!

Previously on The Biggest Loser in a shock twist both Moses and Daniel put weight on at the weekly weigh in. Now the alliance that has stood the Auvales and Jofres in good stead throughout is finally being called off.

Tonight in the elimination room it’s down to who Cliff and Mel vote for. The Jofres will vote to save Daniel and the Auvales will vote to save Moses.

And Pablo’s looking pretty crestfallen, says that there’s no point playing the game anymore. Rob misunderstands and thinks Pablo is giving up and then talks all over Pablo trying to explain he just meant the alliance stuff, not the rest of it.

Tony’s still pissed off because Daniel fell below the line. They’re a family of four still and they’ve got a big target on their backs, he’s pretty sure Daniel won’t survive the vote. He thinks Mel will vote for Daniel and Cliff definitely will as he’s supposedly had it in for them since the start. He says that’s why they’re all down now chatting among themselves while the Jofres are up talking among themselves. I’d’ve said they’re sulking, but whatever.

Previously on The Biggest Loser Sam was sent home from the elimination room after the Auvale-Jofre alliance held strong. This ruffled feathers, particularly Shannan’s, and resulted in Cliff having a very tough training session with Commando Steve.

And it might actually have done some good for Cliff. We’ll see.

The competition has moved to singles, technically, but expect a lot of the old rivalries and alliances to still be in play going forward.

Such as tonight, in The Game, with Temptation standing between contestants and a potential reward of some kind. The old Jofre-Auvale alliance are all partaking, it seems. Whether Cliff, Jodie and Mel will also cave in remained to be seen.

Later, after The Game is won and a training session is done, the weekly challenge involves standing on individual platforms way out on a lake. Last man standing will win… something?

Quite a bit of replayed footage at the start of this episode. We see the setup of Temptation all over again. The alliance has all stepped forward to take their chances. Cliff is asked if he’s in or out and he says he’s out, he thinks he made a breakthrough today in Steve’s training session. Cliff tells us his actions are going to speak louder than words from here on in.

Previously on The Biggest Loser the Jofre family finally fell below the yellow line at the weigh in and now face a very tense elimination alongside the Hailwoods. The Jofres have an alliance with the Auvales which may yet save them.

And the result of the elimination tonight is going to have the trainers at each other’s throats. I don’t like it when Mummy and Daddy and Daddy fight. :-(

Before we get to any of that we have to go for another visit to the elimination room. Sam and Tony have been selected from their respective families to face elimination.

Jodie and Mel are pleased to get a chance to vote for once as they are usually below the yellow line with someone else. Their vote is fairly straightforward and they’re not too shy about saying it to each other and us, they’ll be voting to send a red team member home. Mel knows the alliance the Jofres have with the Auvales is strong, so their votes may not even matter.
