During Week 1, Marion told the contestants that the two people with the lowest percentage of weight loss on the losing team would automatically be eliminated.
This season begins with the auditions being held all over Asia, starting with Manila city, then Singapore, followed by Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and finally Bangkok.
Even the first and current Asia's Biggest Loser's (David Gurnani) father walked through the doors and auditioned for TBLA.
After an arduous search, 16 people were eventually chosen out of the thousands who auditioned, including Thailand's Patty Soon (one of the heaviest competitors ever).
The 16 contestants were then sent to Putrajaya's luxurious IOI resort, where they were greeted by this season's host, Marion Caunter.
The captains revealed their choices: Raj picked the Blue Team while Fish selected the Red.
Training began in the Biggest Loser Asia, with both teams seemingly having their fair share of hard workers and slackers.
Later, the teams were shown to be back in the mansion where Dave and Kristy introduced them an integral tool in weight loss and stressed the importance of good eating habits and to know the amount of calories in your favorite foods.
Desiree and Rico fell under the sword, both expressing disappointment with being the first to go home but were proud of their achievements here on The Biggest Loser Asia.
Prior to the weigh in, the Red team is shown to have a secret training session with the main focus on Saw.
Later, the Red team is shown deliberating on who to eliminate; Manjit and Patty seem to be the most obvious targets.
He makes deals with the supposedly 'weaker' members of the Red team, convincing them to vote off their stronger players.
Lori comments 'Scott, Nai and I are aware that some of our members are colluding with the Blue Team and unfortunately I don't know if they're just very gullible or very naive because Raj has a very Machiavellian mind.
He's playing them, but they don't know that they're being played.” In the elimination room, the Red Team reached a tie between Manjit and Patty.
The episode starts off with Raj celebrating Scott's departure as it will weaken the Red Team significantly.
After the yelling was over, all the Red Team members vow to fight harder and Lori & Genghis promise to keep their cool.
This week's challenge requires both teams to move a hundred sand bags (weighing at about 5 kg each) across a distance and build a platform.
Then the Red Team steps on the scale, Fish loses 2 kilos, but it will not count since Raj for some reason picked her to sit out the weigh in.
Following Jonathan's exit from the competition, Raj and Leo are feeling outnumbered by the former Red Team members.
After finishing in 5th at the past weigh-in, just one spot above the dreaded yellow line, Raj is extremely worried.
The military style obstacle requires the contestants to run 3 laps around the pond, picking up a 3 different objects along the way.
And to top things off, for the 3rd and final lap, the contestants will have to carry 2 jerry cans filled with water.
Upon arriving at Tuscany Restaurant, Marion informs the contestants that a temptation challenge is about to take place.
Everyone will have the opportunity to earn a special advantage at tomorrow's weigh-in, but only if they feel that the benefits outweigh the cost.
He then win the challenge, Leo sticks his hand into the wooden container and comes out with the 3 kg card.
Nai is the first person to gain kilos during the season Lori is next to weigh-in and is disappointed to see that she has only lost 2 kg, for weight loss percentage of -2.15%.
Leo's weight-loss increases to 5 kg, which changes percentage weight loss to -4.72% and moves him up the top of the leader board.
He breathes a huge sigh of relief as he sees 3 kg pop up on the screen, his weight-loss percentage stands at -2.73% which puts him 2nd in the weekly ranking.
And to see that 1kg there, it’s like a slap in the face after all the hard work I’ve put in,” comments a devastated Fish.
As Leo prepares to reveal his vote, he says “Both ladies sitting below the yellow line are capable of doing things that I even in all these weeks still can’t seem to do.
