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.

Australia’s one of the fattest nations on Earth, Shannan, Michelle, Commando and Tiffiny tell us.
And it’s costing us a lot of money and costing some a chance at happiness and love and you can expect a lot more of that as the series goes on!

But first a short montage of past seasons… followed by the announcement that this year, instead of couples or families we’re back to singles.

GOT IT? SINGLE FATTIES. LOOKING FOR LURVE. And not the temporary fix of a tub of ice cream and a chick flick!

Lots of shots of the various contestants facing themselves in their underpants-clad reflections in the mirror. And tears about nobody wanting to be with someone so fat.

Sixteen unattached Australians getting pushed by the country’s toughest trainers. All four of the trainers are looking even more ripped than ever. Michelle, in particular, has abs you could bounce a sammich off!

And, of course, the challenges and Temptations to push them to the breaking point – and beyond. One of Tiffiny’s charges throws in the towel at one point during a workout.

Biggest Brother Loser! Yes, they’ve gone ahead and installed spy cameras and microphones all over Camp to catch the sneaky binge eating and the friendships forming… and the early stages of courtship! Awww, chubby love!

But of course it’ll all come down to the weight lost each week as measured by the Scales of Doom.

Tonight! The competition begins with the trainers heading to the four corners of Australia to pick up their new team members. Meeting them at home or at their jobs or even at a restaurant!
