Previously on The Biggest Loser ten couples set sail for a new life. Get it?

Tonight the trainers drop the nice guy routine from the junk food dinner of the night before and get down to serious business. Seeing how many they can make puke!
Okay, that’s probably not their goal. They’re not Jillian after all!
Tonight is also the first Warehouse for the year. Sigh.

Want a free Biggest Loser pedometer?

Well, if you’re a Melbournite, you’re in luck! Saturday’s Herald Sun purchasers can claim one from their newsagent, if they are interested in such a thing. It looks to be a digital contraption and has a Biggest Loser logo printed across the side.

No sign of this offer being made in other states but if you’ve nothing better to do on a Saturday morning, why not take a walk to your local newsagent and check for yourself?

Those in Melbourne and Adelaide may want to do so before 10am though. I hear it’s been getting a little warm lately.

Shannan Ponton’s a bit of a tool?

According to today’s Daily Telegraph Shannan split with his girlfriend of six months after she couldn’t take his emotional and verbal abuse any longer.

Speaking exclusively to The Sunday Telegraph, Wright said she left The Biggest Loser TV show’s trainer because she feared he would become physically violent if their relationship continued.

“Pathetic bitch’ was his favourite thing to call me,” Wright said.

“He would be very aggressive, in my face and screaming, telling me I was a liar and a nobody with no friends. He told me everyone liked him because he is a TV star.”

Ponton has so far declined to comment. Fans of Shannan should read that as him choosing to remain classy.

Haters? It’s all true and he’s ashamed of himself.

Fencesitters… actually, everyone should remember that this is only one side of the story and not immediately convict Shannan of being a scumbag. He may very well have done as Wright has claimed but when the first we hear of something is a bunch of onesided mudslinging it’s worth remembering that there is always two sides to a story and often a good reason why only one is splashed across Page 3 and the other is kept private.
