The Biggest Loser

ITV1 London at 9:00pm (Other show times...)

The Biggest Loser

It's week six of The Biggest Loser and our seven remaining contestants are about to experience a dramatic change of scenery. They are flown out to sunny Florida for a week of sun, sand and.... gruelling workouts.

In just three weeks their experience in The Biggest Loser house will come to an end and it will be up to them to remain motivated in the real world. Will this surprise trip to Florida be a stumbling block for the contestants or will it help re-acclimatise them to living outside the house and the structure of the trainers?

There's a change of dynamic too with the blue and black teams down to two members each. Tactics are playing a huge part in who potentially stays and who goes and as the whites are the only team with all three original contestants remaining, it seems a common focus for the blues and blacks to 'take them down'.

There's an All-American football challenge this week and our contestants must take part in unfamiliar circumstances: a stadium and extreme heat. On the pitch are 100 American footballs and in their teams each contestant must race to grab a ball and deposit it in an opponent's goal. The idea being that when their goal is completely full, they are eliminated from the game. Naturally the last player standing will win the challenge and be rewarded with a two pound weight advantage at the all-important weekly weigh-in.

In contrast, the first one to be eliminated will be penalised with a two pound weight disadvantage.

As our Biggest Losers are in the land of ultimate distraction it would only be fitting to test their will and determination by facing a second challenge which is more mentally than physically focused. The contestants are taken to an old school diner full of the food that has been killing them slowly - a food dilemma, American style. In front of the contestants is the food they consumed on a daily basis before their Biggest Loser journey's begun. The team who match the right calorie flag to the right food will win the challenge.

As the competition continues to heat up, it becomes a test of patience for certain contestants with the strain of being in unknown territory adding to the pressure. And there's a shock reveal at the weigh-in that could cause a family rift.
