Episode 1

After arriving to find Camp Biggest Loser empty, Hayley revealed the reason to the trainers: not only would they each have to train a family, but spend a week living (and eating) with them. Whisked away by helicopter to their respective new homesteads, Shannan, Michelle, The Commando and Tiffiny saw their momentous task first-hand, piling their plates in a truly eye-opening, waistband-expanding new experience. The families were awarded their team colours – Westrens (Blue), Moons (Black), Duncans (White), Challenors (Red) – before learning they would have their first weigh-in publicly, for all their loved ones to see.

Episode 2

The public weigh-ins took place, Damien from the Challenors making Biggest Loser Australia history as the show’s heaviest contestant at a staggering 234.4kg. The teams and trainers were taken by limo to their new home – Camp Biggest Loser – where Hayley revealed the $300,000 prize on offer, and announced training would begin immediately. Tears, breakdowns and vomiting ensued as the first training session made each contestant face the reality of the journey they were about to take.

Episode 3

The contestants were amazed to discover that in another Loser first, it would be the trainers weighing in. The results were a surprise to all, and not about to go unpunished. The contestants were woken at an unsociable 5am for a gruelling training session, after which they were given their bio ages by resident Doctor Swan. Each family member then recorded a video message to their future selves. That night the contestants were presented with their first Contest, endurance: a three-round, 10km race on the treadmills. Jodie, Leigh, Joe and Jarrod were chosen as the contesting champions, with The Blacks and Whites left at the final round.

Episode 4

As the contest continued, Jarrod from The Duncans emerged victorious and was awarded the power to remove another family of their trainer until after next weigh-in, choosing to penalise The Moons and gleefully ordering The Commando to take a hike. The contestants trained, Sharlene had a breakdown which later turned into a breakthrough, and the families began their first Challenge – pulling an 88 tonne train 400 metres. The prize? A 4kg advantage at next weigh-in. The battle was tight, but The Duncans were edging ahead at the close.

Episode 5

The Challenge pushed each contestant to the limit, and the Westrens’ Craig further, as he collapsed from the effort. The Duncans once again brought victory home, winning an all-important 4kg advantage at weigh-in. Big numbers fell at the weigh-in, with Jarrod crowned the week’s Biggest Loser, and The Duncans Biggest Losing Family. The Challenors and The Moons fell beneath the yellow line, and each nominated a member to face eviction.

Episode 6

The Red Team’s reaction to Greg’s elimination shocked many. The teams entered the lounge to find a note instructing them to ‘Go outside, a trail awaits.’ Little did they know the trail would take them to Temptation, picnic-style. Hayley explained that should anyone decide to take Temptation, they would have to race for a basket and eat what’s inside, while one basket contained $25,000. The catch being that whoever got the cash basket would have to leave the game if they wanted to keep it. Leigh was faced a life-changing decision, and Meg was lumbered with a 2000-calorie chicken meal to burn off. Michelle learnt news of Greg’s elimination and voiced her disgust, and the trainers turned up the eat on their families in post-Temptation training.

Episode 7

The contestants learnt of the family weigh-in, and Leigh decided not to gamble with his life, rejecting the money in favour of remaining in the game. A decision that delighted his trainer Shannan, who led his team in a demanding circuit training session. Michelle continued to voice her immense disappointment in her family’s continued refusal to follow her instructions, and the team finally agreed to work harder so Greg’s elimination wasn’t for nothing. The Commando fought to deal with rifts appearing in the Moon family, and Tiff awarded the Duncans their yellow belts. The Contest was one of strength, with three rounds of curling, and Damien and Jarrod were left battling it out for the win.

Episode 8

Realising the threat posed by the Duncans, they were the ones penalised. Despite Tiffiny doing her best to talk her team through how to make good choices from the menu, all the hidden ingredients made calorie counting difficult. The next Challenge began at ANZ Stadium; families each had to chose one member to sit out. Injured, the Challenors didn't compete, and were instead taken by Michelle to make amends with Greg. The Blues and Whites were leading the Challenge at the episode's end.

After clearing the air with Greg, the Challenors decided to devote the week to him.

Episode 10

Sharlene secured the prize for the Blues, much to Shannan’s dismay. All the trainers save Michelle were forced to chastise their trainees for taking Temptation.

As the episode came to a close the contestants entered the weigh-in room ready for this week's family weigh-in.

Enraged as the Black Team’s apparent lack of motivation, The Commando put them through another intense workout, this time on the parade ground in the pouring rain.

The Westrens won and selected the Challenors to ‘babysit’ a 5kg medicine ball for the week, having to keep it off the ground 24/7 until weigh-in. The penalty for failure was a second ball.

In a shock decision the Challenors decided to put Damien up for elimination, and believing the move to be a calculated attempt to win the sympathy vote, the other contestants voted unanimously to send him home.
