What a refreshing reality show. No game play or conflict. Most importantly it was edited down rather than dragging out the weigh-ins. Love to see how these folks will look like at next year's finale. But please change the hostess.

really? i love her. i think part of the charm of her is she was a contestant on a dance show and she isn't itty bitty.

I have no problem with the hostess. I'm not sure (and I'm too lazy to Google), but I thought I heard somewhere that she was in Hairspray. I will tell you one thing - I LOVE the judges on this show!

I also love the hostess, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Tony Award winner for "Hairspray", and a cervical cancer survivor, in addition to former contestant on Dancing with the Stars. She seems like the perfect choice for this show. She has commented that she is hoping being on the show will inspire her to lose more weight herself. She and husband are also proud parents of a son, Zev Issac Miller, born on July 22, 2008.

My daughter's favorite part about this show was the disco ball that opened up and the judges were inside...she so wants a bed like that!

I'm so not a fan of Marissa the hostess.. was glad when she was out of DWTS, too. I was rooting for Pinky at the end and thought it was so sad that she was injured all week and did so well without physical practice and came SO close to winning anyway when she probably couldn't exercise much at all that week. Bummer for her. I liked that the others came back to show how they were doing and that they had a prize (kinda small, but still) for the one with the larges % lost. Nice surprise.. of course if there are more seasons, it will be expected. While I'm still totally hooked on Biggest Loser, this show had a fun component and they got to have fun while working hard, they each had an advocate in their prof partner and clearly all had increased self esteem. Of course they were also subjected to whimsical judging, but not the at times quite mean voting out of BL. I also liked that their families were there to root them on at the end. Proud smiles!

Reunion show tonight. Shayla won $5000 for fan favorite. Fascinating after stories for some of them. The bald man (sorry, don't know his name...maybe Miles?) helped 3 other family members lose weight. He also sold his car and is going everywhere by bicycle--and gave up his job as bartender in exchange for job as tour guide for hikers. One other (Shayla?) is now teaching dance to children.

Miles was the bald guy. He looked fantastic! Most of them really had kept up with their weight loss...especially the mom (I think Tara was her name). You could tell that she had really changed her lifestyle. And yes, Shayla is now teaching dance to children. And I had never noticed Alicia's mole...go figure.

I could not stand to watch Alicia cry. I've never seen a face that crumpled like hers. I wish Shayla had won, as from the first time she danced, I loved watching her. It seems it's always easier for the guys because their female partners do more of the dancing. Also, it's easier for guys to lose weight. Too bad they don't have a female and a male winner on these shows. Lol about your daughter, Roxie...how cute.

I love Mel B and am looking forward to this. Mel B used to be known as Scary Spice of the Spice Girls. She was also a finalist on DWTS with Maks as her partner. I still have her Paso Doble downloaded on my computer.

One of the producers is an acquaintance of mine. Known her since she was a youngster.

Loving the new season! Already have favorites: Adamme for sure! and LaToya. It would be great to get a photo gallery up top here if possible. PS. Mel B's Paso Doble on Dancing with the Stars is still one of my all-time favorite numbers from that series.

I'm kind of missing Marissa. Not that I don't like Mel B, I just thought Marissa was more bubbly and energetic than Mel B. I like Adamme and LaToya, and even kind of like the guy with the mohawk.

Okay, I SOOOOOoooo did not recognize Joshua from SYTYCD 4 until I watched the episode on a re-run. Looks so different with no hair and no braces. Adamme is pretty darn good, although it looked like he just kind of moved his way through some of his Dirty Dancing number (and a few moves were kind of creepy and very 'little girl dancing with her dolly'). LaToya will always do well since she has so much training and natural talent to begin with. Sarah I don't like. She thinks she's amazingly cutesy and tries to get by on that. Yuck. No thanks. Mike really does need to 'man up' a little and be the guy out there. MelB is okay as a host, I guess. Marissa was seriously bubbly, Mel is more somber sometimes.

Pretty impressive tonight that Adamme was in the hospital, it looked like for several days, with blood transfusions et al--and still pulled one of the first "10" scores of the season. I really enjoyed their number; so glad he wasn't voted out per weight loss (or lack thereof).

Adamme had so much fluids from the IV that he will be the 19 lb loss they hinted at.

Could they drag this show out any longer? It is amazing how good the contestants all look though. I can't believe they brought Michael back to compete...I have seen enough of him to last a lifetime!

I agree Roxip - why bring someone back that can't keep at the level of the other two. Blah... and he didn't deserve all tens.

I wasn't surprised that Michael got brought back. Didn't they have 3 in the finale last year? I would have been ticked if one of the ones who had gone off weeks ago had been brought back. I really want LaToya to win. I am not a fan of Adamme

I want Latoya to win too. Adamme...just can't get into a man with that much bad style. He has done accomplished a great deal but I think Latoya is the better dancer.

All 3 looked great, but using only the last wt loss rather than the season helped LaToya to win. Good that Michael remained 3rd, since Adamme was the final two.

I'm really happy LaToya won...she definitely outdanced the other two in the finale. I thought they were rather generous to Adamme in his final scores because (in my non-dancing opinion) his arms were all over the place. I actually think Adamme danced better earlier on before he decided to "infuse the dance with his own personality" so much. Michael, on the other hand, has really (again, in my opinion) come a long way as a dancer. Of course LaToya had a lot of training prior to this show but she really has changed a lot too -- both physically and mentally. She seems so joyous now and looks so beautiful. I was really glad she won.
