As promised, here is another of the ads for the third Australian season of The Biggest Loser.

This ad features Carrianne and Nicole.

Carrianne is already shaping up to be “this season’s Munnalita”. Not because she’s a horrible she-troll, we’ve not seen much personality yet. No, I’m just referring to her name! And the most baffling part is that her twin sister has such a normal name in comparison, so it’s made even stranger.

Nicole is a fairly hefty 135kg while Carrianne is a fairly modest, by Biggest Loser standards, 110kg. Whilst Nicole’s weight certainly puts her into the realm of legitimately needing the help, I suspect the fact that these two are twins has had more to do with their being selected for the show.

Apparently both girls are nurses, which is another tie-in to the most recently aired US series here – one of the ladies on the US Biggest Loser was also a nurse, looking to lose weight to do her job more effectively. The nurse in the US season didn’t really do all that well, so let’s hope that’s where the similarity ends.

I think Shannan will end up with both girls on his team, but I don’t have any real hard basis for that. His love of boxing training ought to prove useful when there’s the inevitable bickering between the two.
