Friday is Major Challenge night – what’s in store for the fatties this week? Read on to find out!
(Update: The missing minute at the end is now recapped. Thanks to Barbara and Louise for filling in in the comments section in the meantime! )
Bam! Instant elimination. Your thoughts?
Well, tonight’s episode certainly was one of the more dramatic in Fatties history. One contestant was instantly eliminated with no vote and no option for a lesser evil than elimination.
To me, this seems quite unfair to all involved. What do you guys think?
(Poll has been removed due to incompatibility with new version of the blog. Sorry!)
Even leaving aside that it was P’eta, perhaps my current favourite competitor, this really seems to go against the grain of the entire competition. The voting off of contestants is sort of counter to the whole weightloss ethos, but it’s “necessary” for the show, so it’s accepted to some degree.
But giving one contestant the power to just evict one other player from the game? Especially when the power to do so was granted via pigging out on food during a Temptation? It sets an ugly precedent.
I don’t think this is where The Biggest Loser should be going.

Recap #23 – Thursday 1st March – The Walk? With Munnalita? Is in this episode?
Due to the rather large, rather scary, rather noisy storm that passed over my house during tonight’s show, the full recap of Episode 23 will be running a little late.
I’ll post what I got before the storm and will update it later with the full recap. Full recap is now up!
Is it still a “surprise elimination” if there’s an ad for it every 5 minutes and they’ve teased it all week long? Methinks not!
If you’d just like to know who was eliminated, if anyone, it’ll be right after the break. For more details, check back in around an hour. :-)

Would you be tempted by a gargantuan pig-out at a Sushi restaurant? No? Me either.
Are any of the contestants tempted? Read on to find out!
Recap #21 – Tuesday 27th Feb. – Minor Challenge, Major Misunderstanding?
First up, let me direct your attention to this article on The Daily Telegraph website, where Michael says he’s not looking for love anymore and is concentrating on his weightloss. O RLY?
But back to the people who weren’t kicked off the show, Minor Challenge night once more. Will anyone get bonked on the head by novelty exercise equipment?
