I have two words to say to Nathan and Bob: take me! Take me! Take me! Five weeks on Fitzroy Island with the Commando and a guaranteed place for one of them in Finale: the old bull and the young bull have been given the best ride of the game.
In fact, it’s the equivalent of winning the weight-loss lottery! Not only will Nathan and Bob have the dedicated guidance of one of Australia’s best trainers, but they won’t have to worry about Eliminations, Challenges and general Loser politics which is so taxing and draining. Talk about a ticket to paradise!
The boys will be able to focus all of their time on the only two things that count: diet and exercise. And that’s going to be a serious threat in this game.
But don’t expect the other contestants to be happy about this twisterama when they find out. When the tears that were shed last night have dried, the remaining contestants are going to be so ‘dirty’ it’s not funny. This is the sort of thing that, especially in this late stage of the game, will mess with their heads or give them the fright of their lives if it’s revealed at Finale.
The person my heart goes out to is Tiff – this twist in the game will absolutely shatter her. She is upset and angry at losing Bob and while that’s understandable, emotions like these can play havoc on your body.
I remember a time in the game when I was overwhelmed by emotion – it was after a phone call home where my youngest daughter, who thought I must have forgotten everyone’s names seeing I had been away so long, reminded me of the names of all of our family members. I couldn’t train for two days my body was so drained with emotion.
Eventually Shannan told me to snap out of it, and that’s what Tiff will need to do if she’s to stay in this game. I remember thinking, “I will not be away from my family for no reason. I will make every second count.” As hard as it is, that’s what Tiff needs to focus on now.
I’m looking forward to seeing what torture the Commando has in store for the boys tonight and how the other contestants will survive Temptation. Tune in at 7PM on TEN and then check your inbox in the morning for my daily updates.
