Previously on The Biggest Loser we sent Cliff straight back home after he won his way back into the competition. Poor Cliff!

The weekly Game is a multi-round affair and the prize up for grabs is a big one – whoever wins can instantly eliminate any other player remaining in the game. Meep!

The final round started last night with Johnee, Tenealle and Tony battling to build a 2.5 metre tower of “cards” with wooden blocks. Tenealle nearly managed it but her tower overbalanced a tiny bit and lost a couple of levels, giving Tony a chance to catch up after some early messy attempts.

Johnee starts the show by saying they’re a 2-1 chance to win the game. They’re really not, that’s not how it works. But anyway, back to the building!

Just heard the rule that there has to be four walls for each level, no wonder they’re not trying any riskier builds.

Previously on The Biggest Loser the Super Challenge resulted in Tony, Cliff and Sam returning to the competition after Ali failed a calorie counting challenge she should have aced. Oh dear, we are all so sad!

At the weigh in another disappointing result from Cliff and Sam has sent them below the yellow line. Together. A Hailwood is definitely going straight back home, but will it be Sam or Cliff? Sam wants to save Cliff but Cliff’s the bigger threat and the Jofres will definitely vote for him, right?

Well, we’ll see. Stranger things have happened. And Sam does seem more likely to actually lose the weight than Cliff!

First, Sam and Cliff are having a chat about facing elimination. Cliff is “devo”, he tells Sam. Sam wants Cliff to stay because he’s got more weight to lose, but she’s disappointed to go home after fighting so hard to get back in. Cliff tells us he’d go in Sam’s place if he could, she means everything to him. Awww!

Previously on The Biggest Loser we saw Jodie sent home at elimination as surprisingly Johnee escaped elimination yet again.

Tonight the rest of the Game. The Jofres have started to pile weight on each other to give Mel a break, but one of them will probably still win.

Moses’ heart problems continue with more tests being run and him looking pretty sickly. Will he have to quit the competition for health reasons?

And the winner of The Game gets to send one person to weigh in early, maybe? Mr Voiceover Man is teasing us with an early weigh in for one person.

But now, back to The Game. Tony, how many calories in a cup of black coffee? 1, 7 or 10? 1, correct, more weight on Mel.

Previously on The Biggest Loser: Families we nearly saw Cliff stage an upset and win the $20,000 at the weigh in, but it was not to be as Tony streaked from behind to claim the prize.

Tonight two of the biggest remaining contestants, Johnee and Jodie, will face elimination. Johnee is from the Auvale family, who’ve had a strong alliance with the Jofres, giving them control over five votes. Jodie is from the Pestells and can probably count on her sister not to vote for her, and maybe Cliff. It’s not hard to see why Jodie’s probably out the door tonight.

Unless the Jofres finally go with strategy over alliance. It’s really down to them, as it has been so often this season.

We’ll also find out what’s happened to Moses. One might expect he’d dehydrated himself too much for the weigh in or something similar but for the fact he didn’t lose a huge amount this week as he was trying to deliberately be below Johnee. Maybe the stress of Johnee going under the line has brought something more serious to the fore?

The weekly Game will also start tonight and it looks to be some kind of trivia mixed with an endurance event. Mixed with drama, because it’s Biggest Loser!

As the episode begins we’re treated again to the sight of Moses being wheeled out and into an ambulance. He’s got an oxygen mask on and Johnee says he looks like he’s in a lot of pain. His heart rate seemed to be 60, can that happen if he’s had a heart attack?

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.
