Previously on The Biggest Loser… I forget. It was so long ago. How are we supposed to remember what happened multiple days ago?

It’s gonna take a MONTAGE!

Previously on The Biggest Loser the contestants were plucked from around the country by their trainers and brought to Camp in the middle of quite the storm. After drying out they weighed in for the first time, trained for the first time, had Temptation for the first time and started a Challenge for the first time.

Tonight they finish a Challenge for the first time, have a competitive weigh-in for the first time, have an Elimination for the first time and have their first post-Elimination barney.
Should be fun!

As the episode picks up we’re still rowing our boats down the stream alongside the teams. Black’s still in the lead and the Red team is still nipping at their heels in a sprint to the finish.

Previously on The Biggest Loser the contestants weighed in for the first time, trained for the first time and were Temptationed for the first time!
Everyone shared their deepest darkest secrets in the Loser Lounge.

Tonight, MOAR TEMPTATION! More training, too. And Shannan’s going to get stroppy with Hamish.
Also the first Challenge for the year kicks off. With flippers. Oars? It’s on the water.

“You play, you pay.” Shannan’s mantra for Temptations.

As the show picks up we’re back in the Temptation room. The Wheel of Temptation now has 13 wedges of Immunity and 13 of Calorie laden treats!

Previously on The Biggest Loser… BIGGEST CONTESTANT EVER!

Also, Bek spat the dummy and got ejected from Tiff’s dojang, the first to ever be kicked out by Tiffiny and perhaps the first to be told to get out by a trainer?

Tonight, biological age doctor guy is back to give them the bad news! A dump truck full of a representative amount of lard is there to disgust us all.
And it looks like the first Temptation of the year has a Wheel of Fortune element to it. With Immunity on the line and it being so early in the competition you can bet a few will take a punt!

But first we’re back to Tiffiny pushing Bek to her breaking point – and beyond!
“Get out of my dojang now!” “FINE!”

Previously on The Biggest Loser sixteen overweight singles got roped into visiting Fat Camp!

The contestants began their first weigh-in at Camp but we only got part way through before they decided to cut us off.

Tonight, the rest of the weigh-ins and then the training begins. Will one of Tiffiny’s charges walk out of the competition on the first day? Surely not!

As we pick up the episode after the rubbish new intro we’re listening to Bek talk about her fear. Bek is Rebekah. Stop messing with the names, gosh!

Over 30 men weigh-in resumes tonight with Alex hopping up onto the scales again.

In what I can only assume is a display of disinterest in the “looking for lurve” angle the show has taken this year, the ratings for the debut episode of The Biggest Loser Australia are well down on last year.

Last year the show opened with an audience of 1.42 million. This year a mere 897,000 tuned in.

For those aged 16 to 39 the show lost almost half its audience, going from 646,000 viewers in 2011 to 334,000 last night. Among those aged 25 to 54 it went from 879,000 in 2011 to 485,000.

Not great news for the show, though not disastrous enough to justify canning it just yet. Channel 10 will be hoping the prospect of some in-house romance and a proven formula is enough to keep folks in the Biggest Loser camp, rather than swapping over to Channel 9’s Excess Baggage next week.

Time will tell.
