The show begins with a recap from Sunday's weigh -in (as if once wasn't enough!!) and we have to endure old MuttonChops smirking again. (In fact,she isn't really smirking...more like pissing herself laughing!)..I also notice that Courtney had to try so hard not to burst out laughing when Marty's gain was revealed! You can see that both of them want to break open the champers at this point! I just want to bitchslap them both!
Back in the house,Marty just wants to be alone and sits away from the group on the floor leaning against the kitchen counter. He has a bit of a cry.
Chris muses..."why is a grown man crying" (What a man....Chris,you're an idiot!!)
Munnalita and Courtney wonder if Marty's crying is a 'sympathy' vote! (yes...they are idiots as well!!!)
Chris wants to chat to Marty and tells him that he doesn't want to vote for Damien and fails to make Marty feel better by telling him that he could still win the $50,000 if he is eliminated.(start running NOW Chris!!) 
That doesn't go down too well with Marty who calls Chris an idiot and tells him to stop thinking about the money!
Courtney says he will feel like a 'backstabbing ba$tard' if he votes for Marty,as he helped save him last week! Courtney says that Damo is a bigger threat.
Kim talks to Damo and he tells her that the house is the best place for him to be and that he needs to be there more than Marty. Kim says her decision will be 'hard'
The losers file slowly into the elimination room. 
The first thing I notice is Damo's Hair!!!!
All slicked back like a mafia boss! (could he not have borrowed Munnalita's hairdryer?)
AJ(who resembles the 'Mother of the Bride' tonight) talks firstly to Damo and Marty about how they are feeling! (geez,they both put on weight and one is about to leave...whaty'da reckon AJ!!??!
Damien says he 'needs to be there' and Marty says 'his body has made it's decision'.
AJ then announces that again...it's time to 'cut the crap'...or the fat..or whatever!!! (I vote we cut Damo's hair...but anyway...)
Chris votes first and says that he saw the person he chose as a fierce competitor and that initially they had an 'agreement' which was broken by this person! He voted for Marty!
Courtney said his vote was based on fear of this person and this person will vote him out or beat him and thought this person may have a vendetta against him,that wouldn't go in his favour down the track. He voted Marty!.
Munnalita says that the two men both deserve to be there and says she is voting strategically and wants to win the game!(OMG..really no,surely not!!) 
She also feels that she doesn't trust this person because of their relationship in the past and feels threatened by it. She votes for Marty!
AJ states that with 3 votes, he is not TBL and must leave. The other losers who haven't revealed their votes don't need to...(Bugger,I want to know dammit !!!!!)
Marty says that he probably 'rubbed people up the wrong way' but has been a threat the whole way as he has lost good numbers! When asked about an alliance with Chris, Marty says he did not give his word to Chris as he didn't want to commit to anything...but Chris said that he and Marty did have an 'agreement' but that Marty had broken his word.
Kim says that Marty has excelled, is honest and truthful and is an incredible man!(awww sniff sniff)
Damo says that Marty put his heart and soul into everything!
At this point,Marty gets emotional and says he is glad that he has their respect and can leave the game with his head held high.
He tells Damo "You can do it"
He tells Kim that she is very focussed and wants to lose weight and tells her to keep going.
Chris shakes his hand to say goodbye and says he hopes he can see him on the outside.Marty seems to be searching for something nice to say...and manages an " I'll be there". Marty gives everyone a hug and when hugging Courtney he says "You've turned into a top bloke"
Then...he is gone....
AJ tells the final 6 that they are facing some huge challenges ahead and tells them to prepare for a trip. A trip that will not be a 'holiday'. They all look scared!
They all speculate where their trip will be, guessing Vanuatu or Commando's house! They are excited and afraid they say. Damo guesses swimming with sharks.
They all look forward to MIchelle and Shannon returning.... In the morning they pack.
Munnalita and Courtney want pampering at a resort...and shopping! Munnalita wonders if she will need her hairdryer!
They all speak about their worst fears(I guess no hair dryer is one! As they leave for their destination they say they are all freaking out and wondering what lies ahead.
Thay arrive at Sydney airport and Kim(I think) says Is this Sydney International? (WOW-give the girl the money already!!)
They still don't know where they are going,though Munnalita gets excited when she sees New York on the list of departures! They see a sign saying 'Air NZ welcomes TBL" and check in for their flight to beautiful Queenstown! Courtney tells them that Queenstown is full of extreme adventures.
They fly into Queenstown and wonder what the huge mountains have in store for them (At this point I am very envious! I love Queenstown and have a few pangs of homesickness!) They drive to meet Michelle and Shannon.They are all staying in a gorgeous cedar home on the Shotover River!
Shannon says that he and Michelle have been roadtesting everything. Chris is pleased to see Shannon and says that he is a 'top trainer'.
The losers tell their trainers that Marty lost his immunity when he gained weight and was eliminated. They talk with Michelle and Shannon about the weigh-in.
Shannon tells Damo that his gain is just a reason to refocus and tells him to forget about the gain and not stress about it.
The trainers tell the losers that they need to work on the mental aspect of their weight gain over the years and identify what caused it. Patti feels scared of the issues she will have to face. Shannon says they have spent 5 days finding the perfect challenge for each of the losers and wants a committment from them that they are ready to face their fears. They are told they will be challenged in more ways than one and that they will need to face their deepest,darkest fears if they are lose weight and keep it off!....(this is beginning to sound like the makings of a horror movie....the suspense is killing me...get on with it already!!!!!!!
The losers leave their little talkfest on the lawn(it ain't nice and green for no reason you know! It rains alot! and head inside to check out the house. Munnalita and Courtney choose to be 'roomies' .
Damo asks Shannon outside for a chat and says that he is devastated at his weight gain and says that he didn't work as hard and blames the extra food he had during his prize dinner with his girlfriend...and blames the rice! Shannon blames the rice as well along with the T-Bone steak. He says that rice is VERY bad for weightloss as it just sits in your stomach and takes on more water.
Shannon recommends
- only once every 2-3 days having 200-250 grams of red meat
- 2-3 hours of exercise per day
- Carbs down
- Control calories
Damo says he is fearful of dying and tells Shannon he is ready to 'get going'
Good onya Damo ...it's going to be an interesting week I reckon! I'm not missing a minute of that gorgeous scenery,so I will be glued all week!!
....and yes..this took me bloody AGES to type!! 
...but I did take notes while I was watching it!
