    The Biggest Loser 2010
    Date: 30/03/2010

    No elimination but a heavy penalty for Dave.

    If we thought for a moment that because there was no elimination this week this weigh-in was going to lack drama, boy, were we wrong! Dave’s weight gain of 100g incurred a hefty penalty. Not only did he lose the double bracelet (which Lisa decided to keep) and gain the nothing bracelet from Shannon, but Dave can’t compete for immunity this week.


    Up at the Top End, things got quite intense as well when the Commando confronted Phil about his aversion to, ah, confrontation. As usual, the Commando likes to tackle things head on! It was hard to watch an upset Phil having to address the fall-out from being bullied in childhood again, but good to know that he’s working on it and gaining in confidence every day.

    We enjoyed Shannan's Godfather impersonation at Camp Biggest Loser. Sorry Shannan, just kidding! His laryngitis meant Phoebe, Lisa and Shannon had to train themselves and it was great to see how proud they are that they don’t need a trainer to push them anymore – they can do it themselves.

    As the contestants hiked along the beach in New Zealand, picking up the weight they’ve lost  in the form of sandbags added to their backpacks, it was incredible to see so vividly how they’ve changed. And the relief when they took those backpacks off! The New Zealand trip was packed with golden moments, one of which would have to be Phoebe’s screaming SkyJump. Congratulations, Pheebs, on doing something that so terrified you beforehand and for having such a healthy set of lungs!

    The NZ scenery was beautiful too, so gorgeous that Shannon even stopped his abseiling descent to enjoy his surroundings at Kitekite Falls. The Bay of Islands is next on our holiday list too, although we’re not sure about leaping off the tall ship like the contestants! It looked like an idyllic place to spend a few days and was a gorgeous backdrop as the contestants read letters from home and showed off some precious items found in their treasure chests, which they had dug out of the sand.
