Daina may have kept her and sister safe for another week but suffered at Michelle's hands in the next training session. Appalled by Daina’s calorific sacrifice, Michelle probed at the sisters’ relationship until they both acknowledged Caitlin needs to stand on her own two feet more.

Rick celebrated his Biggest Loser title with a much prized visit from his girlfriend and the ‘aw’ moments kept coming when we found out they’re expecting a baby! It was back to business for everyone, however, when the Commando entered the picture with his own special brand of pain.

Hauling the contestants out of bed in the middle of night, the Commando had them dragging heavy machinery and moving mountains (of sand and rock) until the break of day, when they were rewarded with letters from home.

Class was in on Friday night – Master Class! Michelle and Shannan showed us some great stretches, Dr Swan told us diets were a no-no and the lovely but firm Janella Purcell demonstrated how to cook healthy dishes that despite initial resistance from some contestants to tasting, got the thumbs up all round.

The Master Class ten minute challenge showed us how to burn the most in just ten minutes, although the intensity looked like it made some contestants feel like they’d been at it an hour!

Geoff's exit from the competition due to his chronic health problems was a heavy blow on Sunday night. Despite the loss of his partner, Wayne kept his eyes on the prize and took out The Biggest Loser of the week title with an incredible loss of 9.2kg.

Talk about tension! With one half of the eliminated couple slated to stay as Wayne’s new partner, Monday night was always going to be difficult for the contestants. Jenni left and Phoebe was given a second chance in the competition but not before nerves led to a few harsh words in the elimination room. Chris, Teneale, Elise and Caitlin all apologised to each other afterwards, however, and Chris also finally opened up to his team mates, telling them about his past financial troubles.

Any lingering post-elimination blues were knocked out of the contestants, literally, by the training session with the Waratahs. Rick and Joe were in heaven and not daunted at all by having to run the gauntlet against some of the toughest athletes around!
