Previously on The Biggest Loser Cam was sent home at Elimination, kinda, because his heart has something very seriously wrong with it.

Tonight! A challenge back in Ararat with Michelle and the townsfolk. Back at Camp Biggest Loser The Fridge is back, as is training. And Jane’s going to reveal what’s been holding her back, but will anybody care?

First though, glum faces go back into the lounge room after elimination. Nobody’s real thrilled that Cam had to go home on such a note.

Everyone says they’re going to miss Cam’s motivation and friendliness around the house.

Except Katrina, who has to point out that they’ve lost two strong blokes each week now.

Previously on The Biggest Loser… god, what, more than a week ago?

Cal succumbed to Temptation but has to choose between taking $30,000 out of the town’s kitty and leaving or staying on. Blue won the weekly challenge and got “rewarded” with Big Kev. Cam’s suffering from some kind of cardiac problem and may have to leave, he’s off getting tests.

Tonight, will Cal leave? Will Big Kev have lost weight at the weigh in? Who’ll be sent home at elimination?

But first, Sharon’s telling Cal she wasn’t impressed by his “motivational” yelling at the challenge. Cal says it was frustrating watching two of his team carry one hay bale while Mary dragged one by herself, back and forth.

Sharon tells Cal that they physically couldn’t lift a bale by themself but Cal’s not having any of it, says they should have tried harder. Sharon and Caitlin eventually leave the lounge.

The Biggest Loser Australia returns tomorrow night, 7.30pm. Presumably to try and dodge some of the mauling My Kitchen Rules has been inflicting on it in the ratings.

But off in America-land they’ve been dealing with something of a controversy arising from their most recent series finale. Winner Rachel Frederickson shed over 60 percent of her body weight to take both the title and the record for most weightloss by percentage in any season worldwide.

Naturally this has drawn a past contestant of our own out of the woodwork, along with perennial fingerpointer and former host Ajay Rochester.

First we have season 3 contestant Andrew ‘Cosi’ Costello, who spills the beans on the fake weigh in scales used for TV and that it’s not always exactly a week between weigh ins. Hardly surprising news to most folk, though the time between weigh ins is something one would hope they’ve worked on in recent seasons.

Ajay’s back too, with her claims of contestants drinking tea tree oil and dehydrating themselves to a dangerous extent. She’s offering online consultations to help people lose weight, which seems a little ridiculous given she can’t keep her own weight under control. It’s a tough struggle, no doubt, but if she doesn’t have the answers for herself why would people trust her advice? Bit odd.

Before I link to the story I feel it’s important to warn there’s a picture of Ajay in a bikini and a picture of Rachel Frederickson at the finale. Both may be disturbing to some viewers!

You can read the full story here on The Daily Mail website.

Previously on The Biggest Loser Rodger was sent home at Elimination, only to find out it was not all over – Michelle was waiting back in Ararat to train him and other eliminated contestants as the new Red Team.

Tonight, who won at Temptation and what’s the catch? There’s always a twist.

Later, Cam might have something wrong with his heart? Then the weekly challenge involves shipping containers, rolling them around, lifting hay bales and some huge prize that is actually Big Kev from last season.

But first, Hayley relives last night’s Temptation adventures.

Someone consumed 3,019 calories. That someone was… Cal. Oh, really? Odd. Everyone’s a little surprised. He ate a steak sandwich, hotdog with sauce and a large cola. Caitlin says Commando is going to go OFF.

But before he gets the $30,000, there’s a twist. As a group they’ve raised over $40,000 for the town of Ararat. And if Cal takes his money it comes out of that money. Well, that’s put him on the spot, hasn’t it!

Previously on The Biggest Loser nobody was eliminated, nobody got immunity and Steve’s team got a 2kg bonus at the weigh in which, divided 7 ways isn’t really that big a deal.

Okay, it was a bit more exciting than that. Mary collapsed during the Chains of Pain challenge.

Tonight it’s time for the first Last Chance Training. Then a “record breaking weigh in”. And every kilogram dropped raises money for the town of Ararat.

Also, it’s a “special two hour edition”. So there’ll also be a Temptation, because apparently they still haven’t dumped that. Some nice looking pies.
