Jillian won't be on it this year. She quit in order to persue other things. There's a new gal taking over Jillian's spot and I wonder how she is going to work out...no pun intended. Will she be as hardcore as Jillian was...can't wait to see.

I'm not sold on the 50 people thing. I like getting to know each person--their personality and their story. Even when they had on 12 people (it was 12, right) at a time, there were still people who never got a lot of camera time and it was hard to care about them. Fifty people, I think, is too much. But I do applaud them for helping those 50 people out. I will miss Jillian.

I'd like to know when it starts too. I haven't watched much TV for the last few months. I dream flame music.

I wont miss Jillian. Hardcore was awfully tough for soem of these people. I hated it when she'd yell at them. If someone yelled like that at me, I'd do a sitdown in protest and refuse to follow instructions until it was asked nicely. Bob is a complete sweetheart. Not that it matters but I often have wondered about his gender preference. He seems so feminine but I've met men raised in allgirl households like that. They're still hetero.

Ummm...yes, Sunshyne. I've picked up that same vibe from Bob. But like Ketchup said...not that there's anything wrong with that . The new trainer-gal is Kim Lyons. There is an interview with her in Muscle & Body mag (a freebie that GNC sends me). Here's a quote from Kim: "I think Jillian [Michaels, former "Biggest Loser" trainer] could definitely kick my ass in a fight. But I am sure that I can outsmart her." Another: "Don't just watch the show, emulate it. Look at these people fighting for their lives. Let it inspire you to get off the couch and stop feeling sorry for yourself." I'll miss Jillian, I liked her work ethic. But I think Kim will be great too. I'm looking forward to the show. 50 people...wow, that's a lot of people to get to know!

So is this show worth watching. Hmmm ... a reality show that I've managed to avoid for two seasons now?

It all depends on what you're looking for Jimmer... I personally watch it for inspiration and motivation with my own battle of the bulge....and thanks to the Biggest Loser workout video...I've lost over 40 pounds. I recently bought Jillians new Workout Video(one reason she left the show..ot persue other things) and let me tell you...it kicks butt...literally. It's really awesome to watch these people lose all the weight and for the past couple of seasons there really have been some characters on there. There's some really funny moments and touching moments as well. There's not a lot of action like TAR or backstabbing like BB...but there is some starvation like Survivor. :D

Jimmer I watch it at noon on sundays....nothing else is on and I enjoy it...I dont think I would make an effort to tape in on sun nites....so I guess the answer is if nothing is on its worth it...imo

oh contrare' there is plenty of doubledealing and backstabbing. That is the one thing that bothers me about the Voting in this show. It really is just a popularity contest, NOT about whom needs to be there losing the weight. yeah yeah, I know. they have used that reason to get rid of someone when they hit a plateau. I only hope that it isnt set up quite the same as last season (the real season with teams not all those specials) I hated that big feast Pig Out session with chocolate fountain etc. I still cringe at the thought of that lady who was LICKING chocolate as it was coming down the fountain. That huge pig out also seemed to guarantee that everyone was around 15lbs heavier for their first weighin. That made the second week Weigh In weights artifically low. Didnt someone lose 22 lbs or something absolutely ridiculous like that>? Oh well, we'll see who I can root for this season. I liked Pete and the Doctor last season.

Only 14 people from the first show will be staying at the ranch. I think all the others are sent home to work on themselves.

I want Jillian back! I don't care for the new gal; she's a horrible trainer and her ears are too big. No favorites for me, a this point...but I'm not liking Heather. Gonna be a good season, I think...even with Kim.

I want to know why the girls have to wear little sports bras the whole time during wiegh-in..the guys get to wear a tee shirt and take it off only during the scale thing...but the girls have to run jogging in to be wieghed wearing the darn skimpy sport-bra....why cant they wear a tee and take it off just for the scale......this is a pet peeve of mine.... I am not to fond of the new gal trainer... we'll see.

Jillian is definitely a hard act to follow. But I think I'll get used to Kim. Kim's a little too girly and nicey, nicey at this point. She needs to "Sarge" it up, imo. Like Sargeant Harvey Walden from Celeb Fit Club or my favorite, Sargeant Carter from Gomer Pyle...lol. PYLE!!! Anyhoo...I really like Melinda from the blue team. Lots of spunk, drive, positive attitude and a good personality. Bobby the fireman from Tennessee bugs. Come on bud, you joined the show to lose weight and possibly save your life. Quit crying all the time. Matt's (form Loser 2) crying was sweet the first couple of times, but after that it got old fast. Suck it up and work your butt off. You'll have the rest of your life to see your kids. Hopefully, you live a long healthy one. I love this show, the transformations are always amazing. Anytime people can turn their lives around for the better, it is an awesome thing. When I'm watching, I'm totally inspired. I rotate squats, lunges, push-ups and crunches on the commercial breaks. My husband thinks I'm nuts...

It seemed to me that there was a lot more complaining, crying and outbursts from this group when they were exercising than the other two put together! It will be interesting to see who is more determined, and who will get the most out of their experience. Last night there were huge numbers on the pounds lost, but it slows down in the upcoming weeks and frustrates everyone. Thats when you see who gives up and who doesnt. I didnt like the way Heather verbally attacked Jen. I hope she doesnt take it upon herself to lecture and chastise others.

I always enjoy watching this show, but I sure wish they'd get some older participants. Instead of some 21 year old woman, lets have a 55 year old woman trying to lose the 100 lbs. she gained while going through the hormone hell of menopause. Now that's a weight loss challenge.

I think they try to get the younger ones out there because they are still young enough to loose weight and be healthy etc..etc..I'm not saying it won't save an older persons life but if you get someone when they are young like that maybe they can avoid all the health issues
