The Biggest Loser Australia returns tomorrow night, 7.30pm. Presumably to try and dodge some of the mauling My Kitchen Rules has been inflicting on it in the ratings.

But off in America-land they’ve been dealing with something of a controversy arising from their most recent series finale. Winner Rachel Frederickson shed over 60 percent of her body weight to take both the title and the record for most weightloss by percentage in any season worldwide.

Naturally this has drawn a past contestant of our own out of the woodwork, along with perennial fingerpointer and former host Ajay Rochester.

First we have season 3 contestant Andrew ‘Cosi’ Costello, who spills the beans on the fake weigh in scales used for TV and that it’s not always exactly a week between weigh ins. Hardly surprising news to most folk, though the time between weigh ins is something one would hope they’ve worked on in recent seasons.

Ajay’s back too, with her claims of contestants drinking tea tree oil and dehydrating themselves to a dangerous extent. She’s offering online consultations to help people lose weight, which seems a little ridiculous given she can’t keep her own weight under control. It’s a tough struggle, no doubt, but if she doesn’t have the answers for herself why would people trust her advice? Bit odd.

Before I link to the story I feel it’s important to warn there’s a picture of Ajay in a bikini and a picture of Rachel Frederickson at the finale. Both may be disturbing to some viewers!

You can read the full story here on The Daily Mail website.

I don’t always post the links to the TV Week interviews, though perhaps I should. But the interview with Cosi is simply too good to pass up.

In it, Cosi is surprisingly frank about certain aspects of the show… and certain people.

I don’t want to spoil the whole thing for you, but he does call one contestant a cow.

Want to know who? Go read the interview on TV Week.

Tonight on The Biggest Loser, Cosi and Sam face elimination.
Both are seen as threats within the game, however with Blue holding a majority of the votes, it seems a foregone conclusion that Cosi will be sent packing.

But will the Blue Team alliance finally show a crack tonight?

Some photos of Biggest Loser Contestant Cosi have surfaced on the website of the radio station he works for in Adelaide, SAFM.

The first picture is a particularly hideous “before” with the remaining nine being some astonishing “after” shots.

It’s a little spoileriffic to see him after he’s out of the House, so I’ll put these images after the break. But there’s nothing in the images that indicates when he leaves, so if you don’t want his elimination time spoilt, you’re safe.
