Are you and at least one of your family members suffering a case of the fatty-fat fatfats? You too can shed tears, sweat and fat on Australia’s top weightloss reality TV show thing!

Yes, it’s coming back for another year and you have until the 21st of September to submit your application.

Applicants must be at least 15 years of age this time around, though I’m not sure they would actually take anyone that young. Maybe they will court some more controversy with a youngest ever contestant?

In any event, the results from previous years speak for themselves. If you’re obese and serious about fixing it, this might be the way to do it and potentially get paid a bunch of money.

And if you don’t make it, there’s always Michelle Bridges’ 12 Week Body Transformation.

Speaking of Mish, she’s currently recuperating from a nasty torn hamstring that required surgery (!!!) to fix. Send her your best wishes via the Twitters, if you have it.

Back on show news and apparently the next season won’t be based at the artillery school at North Head. No indication on whether they were kicked out of another location (the show had to leave the White House due to a bunch of complaints) or if they’ve just decided somewhere else would work better for everyone. I hope wherever they decide there aren’t any dank tunnels or stupid underground cages or…

The Biggest Loser Australia 2012 Finale starts now!

It should have started quite a few minutes ago but Masterchef, a prerecorded-months-ago show, didn’t run to time. Which I’m sure is not at all related to their dismal showing in the ratings for their debut episode. Not trying to grab some of that Biggest Loser audience, no sir.

Anyway, on with what we’re all waiting for – FINALE!

This year sixteen overweight singles went into Camp hoping to lose weight and maybe find love. Most of them succeeded in the former and a few have even succeeded at the latter.

Cue the montage! Lots of shots of the grossly obese complaining they wanted to find love and nobody would want them because they’re fat and not because some of them are really quite awful people. Nope, it’s just because they’re fat.

In the time I wrote all that they’re still running the recapped footage of the season and talking about the JOURNEY.

Get on with the reveals and the weigh ins, dangit!

The Final Four is Margie, Alex, Kasey and Brenda. In case anyone has forgotten since Sunday.

Previously on The Biggest Loser they revisited the obstacle course from earlier in the season, this time the trainers completed it with their contestants.

Tonight! Last Chance Training takes place in a cage underneath the ground. And Tiffiny’s going to bust out some ninja moves on the contestants. Exciting!

Later, the weigh in is dramatic, as usual. Then a twist at the elimination leaves everyone gobsmacked. More exciting!

This is the final Last Chance Training, Shannan says, so they’ve got something special in store for the remaining contestants.
They’re down in the basement and there’s a cage with the trainers standing inside, looking fierce. Kasey says she thinks they might be doing some cage fighting!

Time for the contestants to step up and prove they’re worthy of a spot in the Finale.

Probably. They may yet decide to reschedule it again? Who knows.

Currently it’s set to air 8-10pm on Tuesday so if you’re wanting to record it, set your timers appropriately.

Previously… oh right this is Thursday!

More behind the scenes footage tonight! Alex giving Steve his Train the Trainers workout.
Sammy comes to Camp! To have a chat and stuff.

And outtakes. Juicy, glorious outtakes. I love outtakes in everything. Good to see the people behind the characters having some fun!

But first, recapped footage from the week. BORING. Seriously, Channel 10, if you run this half hour show again next year, dump all the recapped footage and include more new stuff!
