First Biggest Loser contestant out

Selena Brown, the first hearing-impaired contestant in the series, has been sent back home to the Northern Territory.

The first contestant has been eliminated from The Biggest Loser for 2012.

Selena Brown, the first hearing-impaired contestant in the series, was sent back home to the Northern Territory.

Brown was one of two contestants who lost under 5kg and fell below the yellow line.

In a Biggest Loser twist, host Hayley Lewis gave the remaining contestants the option to not send anyone home.

One contestant Margie Cummins said, “We decided as a team that this is a competition, so I kept to the original plan and voted Selena out as she wasn’t pushing herself hard enough. It was a hard decision but we needed to get rid of the weakest contestant and carry on.”

Brown said, “Being at Camp Biggest Loser was hard for me. I’m not used to a house full of people going through the same thing I’m experiencing. Although I had support, I still found it challenging and I was a little homesick. But, I was here for a reason and that was to become a better person.”

  1. Margie and Lydia you are all there for the same reason its only the first week if someone didn’t have to go you should of not been so selfish and voted, maybe you should of looked in the mirror once again, because if it was you sitting in the elimination seat you would want everyone to give you a second chance im sure. Margie you said “Selena should know better” she is only 22 well your ten years her senior you should know even better you have had more years to get it right than Selena. Everyone has there own personal story you are no better than anyone else in the house you are all equal.

  2. People are all forgetting Lydia is also at fault here, Margie was just sitting in the wrong seat. You could see more hate in Lydia’s eyes directed at Selena. She looks like a very nasty woman

  3. I hate how they make sport out of people struggling with life. How hard would it be to ‘eliminate’ the contestant, but allow them to stay in the house to benefit from the trainers, etc? The eliminated ones would just not be eligible to win whatever prizes were on offer. This is what they do on shows like ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ as you still get some emotional/physocal conflict in the house (since this is what people want to see; not people successfully exercising), but provides for training partners, etc (they used to remove eliminated contestants in earlier seasons, only to bring them back if someone was injured, etc.)

    I can’t watch this show (any more) as it seems to be more and more focussed on getting emotional responses from people (by provoking contestants to cry; in turn affecting viewers), not on helping these people lose weight.

    I do, however, understand that the goal of the program is to create controversy and generate ratings, not to actually do any good for the contestants/community.

  4. I was shocked when they eliminated her – talk about putting the knife in! The poor girl needed to stay and she likely wasn’t a huge threat–nasty stuff–Maggie deserves the condemnation from the trainers that looks like its coming tonight. They seem to have become all high and mighty very quickly. What a mean spirited thing to do.

  5. I hope this twist isnt part of every elimination as it is a pretty useless twist. The show still has to end at the same time so for every elimination that is passed over now, it just means there’ll be an extra one later.

  6. How on earth was Selena affecting their games, you would think they would want to keep the dead weights around to further their time in the game.

    Such a shame, she was a real sweetie.
