The threat of outsiders

Wednesday 31 March, 2010

Ahh… the threat of the Commando’s boys unsettling the contestants made me laugh a little. Even though I am sitting in the comfort of my lounge, I remember the feelings all too well. In my series, a secret Black Team was revealed to us and we were told they were going to annihilate us. We were all paranoid.

Remember, as a contestant, all you have is the game: no TV, no job, no retail therapy, no escape! So all you think about is training, food, game, training, food, game. And, when you are nearing the end of the game with the chance of being a finalist and you’ve endured so much pain physically and mentally, the thought of someone coming back in is totally unnerving!

Plus, you have no idea how well those outsiders have been training, what their diet has been like, and what their weight-loss percentage might be. This is what the busy little mind of a Biggest Loser Contestant goes through on a daily basis. I can laugh now, however when you’re there, it’s definitely not funny!

Getting intense

Well, with this new threat there will certainly be a new intensity. At this point in the game, you’ll find contestants will slope off to do some sneaky training, just to get an edge on their fellow competitors. It might even mean setting a watch to go off at 2am, and creeping downstairs, trying not to wake anyone else. Yep, that’s what Kirsten and I use to do. Although, it's more likely that our giggling would have been the thing to wake everyone up!

So this is where the crazy part of the game really kicks into gear and if the contestants think it’s nearly over and there will be no more twists, they best brace themselves, because there is always something being planned in Loser Land!

Believe in yourself,
