8×08 – Fatties don’t bounce.

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.

Biggest Loser hit with another sex scandal?

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!)

8×07 – Really Real Elimination Time Really (But Not Really)

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!

8×06 – The Biggest Loser Half Ass Marathon

Previously on The Biggest Loser… THE FRIDGE! Yellow have Shannan all to themselves for the rest of the week. Lucky girls.

Tonight! More training dramas and they’re going to attempt a half marathon again. Already? Okay. Chris and Mark will have a bust up part way through that might come to blows. How exciting!

But first, Anita and Cher are planning out their dinner when their exclusive trainer Shannan exclusively uses their exclusive iPhone to exclusively phone them. Exclusively! Shannan is setting them homework – 10km on the treadmill followed by 10km on the crosstrainer, set on level 6. Whatever that means! Shannan thinks it’s a hard ask but he thinks they can do it.

8×05 – Flicks with Fatties!

Previously on The Biggest Loser the contestants avoided having anyone eliminated in the first week by virtue of losing more than 100kg at the first competitive weigh in.

Tonight the brand new heavyweight contestants hit the gym for the first time. They’ve got a lot of weight to lose and it’s going to be a hard slog. The contestants also go to the moooooovies… to watch tearjerking home movies of their loved ones talking about how the fat people might DIE.

When do the new contestants jump off the cliff, huh? Bah.

The “original” contestants are freaking out over the new people, thinking they’ve got so much weight to lose. But speculation is also rife – who’ll get the new heavyweights first? And will they crumple under the new training regimen? Don’t forget, these are the same contestants who have been there just one week. So they’re obviously so much fitter!
