DH & I really enjoyed it. A combination of Dancing with the Stars with The Biggest Loser without the dragged out feeling of them. Hope the show does not expand to 2 hrs. The percentage weight loss is added to the dance score to give the ranking. There was no question that the girl going home couldn't dance. Some dancers were amazing.

I enjoyed this too. Let's face it - it's not rocket science, but it was fun and entertaining. And you are right, some of these people really could dance (and the woman who was eliminated really couldn't!). Although I think a few of the contestant's personalities are too over the top for me to stand if they were on longer.

I enjoyed this show last night as well. It did move along at a nice pace. It will make do for light, summer entertainment until my regular shows start up again. Speaking of personalities, looks like from the previews that one woman has a major meltdown next week. (Sorry, don't remember their names yet.) I suppose they'll have to add some drama as per usual.

Did this just start? I could have sworn I had it set on my DVR, but I guess not.

I'm bummed cuz I don't think we get the Oxygen channel in Canada. And if we do, it's certainly not in my current cable package!

Thanks Who, I'll hunt around and see if it's aired on Canadian Bravo, or some other Canadian cable channel. ETA, I just googled it, and it's not looking good... don't think it's airing in Canada. Still hoping I'm wrong about that.

I recorded this show and finally got to watch it yesterday. What a great "feel-good" show.

I just realized that Mayte the judge is Prince's ex-wife. I really hope Ruben wins.

Me too. So glad that Mara finally went home since she was always complaining. The hip-hop that Shayla did was really good. And she looked hot in tight pants!

I was glad Mara went home too. She got on my nerves, and I guess I've never been a fan since she threw that stupid tantrum early on.

I agree - Mara was just fine with me - although Alicia is a little over the top for me too! I really want Ruben to win - but would be fine with Shayla winning as well!

Oops, sorry, I got my dancers mixed up...Alicia is the one who threw the tantrum and I wished had gone home...although Mara hadn't made that much progress...how is it that these people have dieticians at their disposal, have nothing to do but dance and exercise, and are still not losing weight? How many of us would love to have that opportunity? How many of us could walk away from our everyday lives and take advantage of that opportunity? I noticed that only a few of them had children...if I had that opportunity I would hope that I would take full advantage of it. I did notice that the one girl who added calories had significant weight loss for the first time this week...perhaps she was over-dieting and her body had gone into starvation mode. (Pinky)

Roxi - based on the little they've said about their "nutrition" I really wonder if they are eating enough period. Pinky made a comment - I don't remember if it was this week or last week - that the nutritionist had knocked her down to 950 calories a day. I don't care how short/small you are, that's not enough food when you are being as active as they seem to be!

When I put on 10 lbs. last year and joined a gym for the first time in my life, I was struggling to lose the weight in spite of working out 3-4 times a week. For months, I didn't lose a pound no matter how much I watched what I was eating. I finally met with the nutritionist at the gym and it turned out I wasn't taking in enough calories. After she calculated all my vitals, I had to take in a minimum of 1,500 calories a day. Once I started taking in more calories, I started losing weight and inches.

Roxip, I got so frustrated when I didn't lose weight after I had spent 3-4 days a week at the gym and watching what I ate, that I went to my doctor for help. For 48 years, I ate what I wanted, when I wanted and as much as I wanted. I could not comprehend how I put on 10 lbs. and couldn't take it off no matter how hard I tried. First, I got "the talk" that doctors don't like to have to give to women. And while my doctor tried to give me "the talk" as gently as he could, it still sucked the life out of me. So after I got "the talk," he tried to make me feel better that 10 lbs. is NOT that much overweight. ((((sigh))))

(((sigh))) "The talk" is when your doctor tells you that when you are very close to approaching 50 years old and are now POST-menopausal, it may be more difficult to lose weight. The.Talk.
