Creativity starves insanityFood sits heavy on the expressions menu with the contestants from The Biggest Loser looking like they'd come straight off the finale of the series. Not much of a weight or body shape change between the shows.
Out of the darkness and quite a few of the questions in the first round concern food and the series franchise. The dead question ringing off the weight loss mark of the UK winner. All black and in the shadow of off lights with the answer of 9 lbs 12 oz.
Adriano "Adro" Sarnelli, Cat White, Harry Kantzidis, Tracy Moores and Vladimir "Wal" Milberg all step off the stage and to watch the rest of the action from the sides.
Kristie Dignam takes out Science and Pot Luck to scoop 5 and then a round to 11. Scoring only 3 and then a sum of 7, Fiona Falkiner hits both Music and History with ardent misses and hands waving pauses. Surprised at her own inability to come up with the answers, she gets one last answer with help fro Artie. David Hilyander makes Sport and Film only to come up 10, a split on both topics.
Despite stumbling on a question about igneous rock formation, Shane Giles, a geologist, hits a stride with 8 from Nature and then 7 off Geography. Artie Rocke doesn't do too good on TV with 5 though picks up a challenge on a new looking Australiana topic to clean up 11 for the round. Jo Cowling blasts the board with 11 from the Food and Drink plate and 8 from Literature.
With a gram for the first tie breaker round, it was a pavlova to separate into the third. Falkiner, Hilyander and Rocke joining the viewers on the side come final tally.
Cowling opts for 80s Pop Music, Giles on the Hawthorn Football Club and Dignam, also a Hawks fan, makes her speciality topic Edith Cowan. Easy and pedestrian play from the memory board. Each taking their time to answer their own and all of them getting one wrong in various go around to even the score. In the end it comes down to picking off the general knowledge questions. Dignam falters first and then Giles.
Proving to be the winner this time around, Cowling donates her prize money to the Red Cross.
