Biggest Loser

Getting stuck into the latest season of The Biggest Loser on Channel 10. This season the theme is singles, with some kind of small suggestion of the contestants to fall in love (might be difficult for that Margy girl, not many options in the biggest loser house for same sex relationships). Apart from the theme, it's mostly about this bunch of people losing the weight the quickest possible way. The house was originally divided up into boys and girls, then again into young and old. This week they joined the old and new together for a battle of the sexes, which the girls won handsomely. The girls have 4 of the 5 fittest people in the house and this works well for the challenges. They also seem to be the toughest and hardest trainers as reflected at the weigh in. The youngest girl in Michelle leads the charge, though she is reaching the low 90ks now and her weight loss percentage will start to suffer soon. Margy and Lynda are strong and are two of the hardest workers in the house. While the blokes are carried by their only shining light in Luke. However despite him working the hardest of the guys, suffered a bad week on the scales. His diet of only orange food for the week (a result of losing a challenge earlier) might be the factor behind this. He was lucky not to be picked for elimination. The biggest contestant in the history of the competition, Ryan was this weeks eliminated contestant as he was generally disliked by both teams. The contest is a little close to call at the moment. Trainer Shannon usually has the winner at the end, so you would have to think Luke would be the favourite with Hamish a dark horse with youth on his side. But my pick would be Lynda at the moment with Margy the girls dark horse.
