TBL 7×53 – Swimming, swimming, in a swimming pool!

Previously on The Biggest Loser Lydia, Bek and Brenda returned to the game! I am only excited about one of those things.

Tonight the depths of Michelle’s binge eating will be revealed, Alex has a breakdown in training and the weekly challenge is kicking off extra early, involves a pool and… balls?

Okay!

But before any of that all four trainers are sitting in Loser Lounge waiting for the contestants to come out of the Elimination/Salvation room. They’re having a chat about who they think will come back. They’ve all got it pegged as being the one that’ll be seen as the least threatening.
Mish tells us that that means Lisa because she doesn’t have the weight to lose.

TBL 7×39 – NOODLE CONTEST. Also, manboobs. In mud.

Previously on The Biggest Loser… Simon got eliminated. Awwwwwww.

Tonight the contestants go rock climbing! And acrobatic-ing? Looks like fun.
What doesn’t look fun is Graham’s gruelling workout with Commando Steve out on the muddy paradeground. They’re going to have it out for the umpteenth time tonight. Will Steve finally get through to Graham?

Probably not.

Later the weekly Contest is one of those jump over a pole, duck under a pole, over and over and over things.

But first! Simon and Lisa have an emotional goodbye before Simon heads off into the outside world. Simon tells her it’s the best place for her.

And my PVR’s chucking a wobbly so this could get exciting!

TBL 7×34 – Ghosts of chubbies past.

Previously on The Biggest Loser Selena finally got her wish and was sent home for a second time. Will she have the balls to turn up for the Eliminated Contestants second chance thing? Surely not…

Tonight! The competition moves to the next stage as the teams are dispersed into singles. Which, as we’ve seen in previous seasons, doesn’t really matter that much. Teams are still teams and teams are still going to look out for each other.
Mostly.

Also a physical challenge with the remaining contestants carrying their lost weight around in a backpack for a gruelling run.

But first, Hayley tells the three remaining girls in the Elimination Room that this is where the game really starts to heat up.
Hayley tells the Red and Black Team to come in and announces the obvious – Selena’s been eliminated. Now, come for a walk with Hayley!

They all head back to the weigh in room where Lydia’s got a Red shirt for Margie to get back into.

Congratulations all round for everyone making it this far. They’ve lost, as a combined group, 508.8kg. Which is two Ryans, Kasey tells us.

Now it’s time to shake the game up. Say goodbye to your teams. You’re now competing as singles. Margie exclaims that she only just came back!

So, who’s winning so far in Singles?

TBL 7×29 – You CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks, Mythbusters!

Previously on The Biggest Loser the last of the Blue Team left Camp as Hamish was eliminated thanks to the treachery of Selena.

Tonight! Shannan’s going to be GUTTED. I can feel it in my bones.

Also, Old Dogs versus Young Pups. Which is going to cause a bunch of issues for Selena as Margie’s not going to put up with her slacking off in training, not one bit!

After Elimination Hamish gets time to have a chat to Michelle before leaving. Not at all a cynical ploy by the producers to get some smooshy footage!
Michelle wrote him a letter while White Team were off camping. It’s in an envelope. And has a love heart beside Hamish’s name. SMUSHY LOVE STUFF!

Michelle doesn’t want to say goodbye but says it hopefully won’t be forever. Hamish is hoping for many years to come with more enjoyment. Of each other’s company. Yep.
NOW KISS! Oooh, they do have a very shy-in-front-of-cameras kiss. Lips on lips! Big cuddle afterwards. Michelle sticks her bottom lip out and says she doesn’t want him to go. Another couple of kisses on the cheek. Bye Hamish. Awwww!

TBL 7×25 – White Warrior Warcamp. Keep out. They smell. (Oh, hamburgers!)

Previously on The Biggest Loser Bek got sent home at Elimination. Awwww.

Then after a midnight training session and race back to Camp the White Team has been banished to the bush to camp out for a couple of nights. No gym equipment, no beds, no showers. They gonna stiiiiink!
An endurance based Contest kicked off with a champion from the Red, Black and Blue teams having to stand on a pole out in the water. Last one still standing wins the power of The Walk.

Tonight we find out who wins between Red and Black as Hamish has already fallen off.
Also, Temptation! Including a pavlova as one of the options. I want a pavlova so bad. I’d totally fail at that Temptation.

Anyway, Margie and Simon have been balancing so long Hayley ups the ante some more and tells them they’ve got to balance on one foot until one falls.

And Simon teeters and totters and falls into the drink. Margie hops in not long after and is very happy that Red has won yet another Contest.

Three hours and thirty eight minutes is the final time. Crazy!

Margie will now get to go on The Walk. With whatever power that brings.
