Previously on The Biggest Loser… tension in the Elimination Room, oooh!

Jenni got sent home and now Phoebe is Wayne’s new partner.
Then a tension breaking training session with the Waratahs, which was pretty awesome.

Tonight another Brains vs Brawn challenge. Couples vs Couples this time, not training team vs training team.
The All-Girl teams better hope they have the brains to pull through because there’s some big strong boys in the current crop.

Previously on The Biggest Loser Daina totally pigged out on desserts to save her sister from elimination!

Commando Steve returned for the first time this year to have the contestants drag a bulldozer through the mud then dig up a bunch of dirt. Awesome!

Tonight, Geoff has to face reality? Wayne sees red during training with Shannan.
And some decision offers someone a second chance which has something to do with the weigh-in but it’s all a bit vague. Good thing the episode starts right after the credits, then.

Previously on The Biggest Loser, everyone was in a huge rush to get past any of the bits that referenced That Guy We Can’t Name.

Also, they did that whole public speaking thingy and many tears were shed all round.

Tonight? Tonight is the first Temptation for the year. Some delicious looking food seems to be on offer and if there’s one thing we know about these people it’s that they like their food!

Previously, on The Biggest Loser… Nine new couples set out on their journey. Well, ten, but we don’t like to talk about the tenth couple…

Tonight is Elimination Night. And also the first Challenge for the year. And a “face their deepest fears” challenge. AND a weigh-in.
Well, I guess we know how they’re going to deal with the missing couple. They’re just going to hurry right past the bits they were in.

Eh, simplest solutions are often the best.

“This is the start of the journey…” One of the contestants as a countdown displays on screen with a montage of shots of the training to come…

First proper shot is of the new contestants being revealed as a roller door comes up. The contestants then file into what looks to be an aircraft hangar. Why’re they trying to make them look smaller right at the start of the series!

There’s an array of TVs set up with pictures of previous contestants and they stand around in the center. Then a mysterious shadow comes strutting towards them. And the shadow is Hayley Lewis! Cue rapturous applause from everyone. Woo!

Apparently it’s not really an aircraft hangar, it’s actually where the previous Finales have all been staged. It’s looking pretty empty at the moment though.

If you’re the sort who tends to avoid any pre-show articles on The Biggest Loser you probably missed the reports that a contestant in this year’s show has been charged with possessing child pornography.

The producers of the show have made the decision to edit both him and his partner out of the show entirely, removing any references to them ever having been there. Hopefully they won’t just replace planned clips of that couple with even more repeats of earlier footage of other contestants…

What follows is somewhat more of a spoiler so I will put it after the break…
