Previously on The Biggest Loser it was kids versus parents all week and the parents thrashed the kids every time so this was an experiment totally worth doing!

Tonight it’s Last Chance Training time. Lots of fun, lots of sweat, lots of tears. Then the weigh in and there’s drama there, too. Talk of maybe an alliance or just general discontent amongst the teams? Guess we’ll have to keep going to find out…

Commando Steve has the parents for Last Chance and… Chris isn’t there. Because he lost a toenail at the challenge. So he’s out of training for 24-48 hours Richard says. So who else trained? Only Robyn put her hand up and she only trained for 30 minutes. Mandy had panadeine the night before and was told to rest until the session with the trainer. Richard was stuffed after the challenge. Gerald was stuffed, had a soreness running down to his right foot. Anita, at least, confesses she has no excuse!

Most of the kids didn’t train either. Amber says she needed to catch up on sleep. Shannan’s disappointed!

Steve’s telling the parents that when they voice the excuses it becomes obvious how weak those excuses are.

Shannan wants the kids to show him they can be self motivated to train hard and fast. But clearly they can’t, you’ve got to be there Shannan!

Previously on The Biggest Loser Gerald and Todd earned a midweek weigh in via The Fridge… but Todd had put on weight!

Tonight it’s Last Chance Training, a weigh in and an elimination. And they’re saying one of our favourite teams will be going home. So Anita and Cher or Chris and Mark. Unless they’re actually telling the truth and it’s Gerald and Todd!

Previously on The Biggest Loser all the contestants got soaked in the challenge but Janet and Kirsten won, earning themselves immunity!

Tonight! Explosions! Amber wants out of the show even though she only just survived elimination. Everyone’s telling her she’s not working hard enough and Mish says it’s because she’s not. Go Mish!

Also a bombshell at weigh in – the trainers will be the ones to send a team home, not the contestants. Michelle doesn’t want to, Steve seems content to do it.

As the show starts Shannan has a couple of groups in for Last Chance Training. Each pair has to do 600 reps of the various repetition stages and 8km on the treadmills and cross trainers. He’s looking to hit every part of their bodies. He was disappointed in Kevin’s efforts at the challenge. He only held the chain up for 15 seconds. Shannan says it wasn’t Kevin’s body that gave up, it was his mind. Kevin’s been using every excuse in the book to get out of training, Shannan tells us, but today he’s doing a lot better.

Rosemary says Kevin’s pushing himself now and it’s lovely to see.

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!

Previously on The Biggest Loser we met this season’s batch of contestants, they promised to stop being a bunch of fatties, they jumped off a cliff together, worked out (and barfed) together and then they all weighed in without any really amazingly large numbers.

Tonight! Big Kev is coming, the ads keep telling us. The biggest contestant in worldwide Biggest Loser history. More training, with Mish losing her shit at Brett, just before the first competitive weigh in of the year where they might avoid facing elimination altogether if they can lose 100kg as a group.

Then… it’s not just Big Kev, he’s coming with a partner. AND ANOTHER COUPLE. Sneaky fuckers. Look to be the old Shannan blue and a new yellow shirt team. Should rock the boat. Will also bring the groups up to 9 in total, making 3 per trainer. How convenient!

But first, Shannan rocks up with Mish and Commando while telling us that none of the contestants trained last night. It’s not a health retreat, Shannan says, they’re supposed to be burning 600 calories morning and night, lest they go home.
