I like the concept, really I do and these people are brave but I cannot see a 2nd season but who knows. I don't get Oxygen and while I am able to come here and see the recaps, that is all I need to see. I don't think I could watch an entire show. It just seems cheesy. There is no excitement however I will say, they contestants can move! And it is so painful to watch that host. She does not apparently breathe b/c if she did, I think she would pop a seam. Nothing like having an outline of your vagina on TV. When your clothes ripple, that means they are too tight. Shame on the wardrobe department. And I wonder what she would look like with a different hairstyle!

I couldn't agree with you more. I was really excited when I first saw the commercials for this show & made a note to set my DVR to record the entire series. After watching the first show, to say I was disappointed is an understatement. Nothing works on this show. The contestants are really annoying, the judges are really lame, and the host is so bad. All these components make the show totally unwatchable. Melissa's clothes couldn't be any less flattering. Her dresses are so tight I was wondering if that's why her hair is so huge. I think the tight clothes push everything upward. The concept of this show was great but it just doesn't come together. I can't even bring myself to root for any of the contestants because they are very hard to like, even just a little. I think you should take this show off the air and revamp the entire thing. I am a huge fan of Biggest Loser and So You Think You Can Dance so I thought putting the 2 elements together would have been a sure winner but it has proven to be anything but...a winner that is. And these people aren't even losing a decent amount of weight. I think you need to ditch or rethink this show. While you're at it, it would also be a good idea to dump Tori & Dean. Never has there been 2 more unlikeable, ugly people, and their kids aren't very cute either.

Good, I thought it was me. It's funny how I get so tired of the waiting for the judges decisions "before they go to break" or the rudeness of judges and other little quirks that go on (like teasing us...making us want to keep watching instead of flipping the channel) with all these type of shows and now that it is not there, I am freekin' whining about it. But there is no entertainment with anyone (except for the dancing and the overly animated host/facial expressions...LOL). The judges are lifeless!

I was wondering about the weight loss. It did not seem as high so I thought maybe I was not doing the math right. These people have a lot of weight to lose and exercising and dancing should make the fat melt off but maybe it is too soon.

And what DUMB a** PUT THE CHEAT CABINET IN THERE????? That is plain ole stupid! It's like they want to set them up for failure. Who needs the temptation. I don't like it when they do that on The Biggest Loser but this is different. That cabinet stays there.

They should revamp it. Send them on a tour! Send them all to the Biggest Loser, So you think you can dance AND IF they can, then go to Dancing with the stars...LOL

ROFLMAO!!!

Now, let me say that I absolutely ADORE Marissa Jaret Winokur, but this is SO true .....

This show is so awesome. It has motivated me so much!

It's encouraged me to become a TV executive. Eventually I will rise through the ranks high enough that I can fire every idiot involved in the production of this rubbish and make sure the guys that put this rubbish to air never work again.

The name doesnt bother me like some of the muppets here "OMG, they call it a**"... it's just the worst show I have ever, ever, ever seen in my life.

Ha Ha! Evil Hound! Sweetie judging by the time you spend on blogs hating on everything, trust me you will NEVER be a TV Executive, just someone with no life of your own, otherwise you would be out living it instead of hating on others to feel better about yourself. Good luck with your relationship with your computer as I am pretty sure it is probably the only one you have. Aw Bless.

Oh I beg to differ, despite what you may look like, you, auntee820 and Evil Hound purely from what you write are proof that there actually are '2 more unlikeable, ugly people' You must be so proud.

GOT A MAGIC MIRROR?

IT'S OUT JUDGE,

YOU'RE A CHUBBIE CHASER....

LOL and you discern this from the fact I spent 30 mins mocking tubbies on a crappy TV show?

right.

Well gosh evil let's add it up. 30 minutes tv time. Couple of hours posting in this forum? You even started a thread. Took a couple of psych courses in collge and you reek of having issues. Maybe... just a thought ... you should completely turn off your tv and spend some you time. I'm picking on you a bit because you are clearly trying to stir crap up. I can give you the names of so many sites that would love your tedious and boring wit ... Go there

To the others hating on this show ... TURN.THE.CHANNEL. Or go to the Tori and Dean board, they love lively haters

I couldnt watch it all, it's just bad television. My wife found it hilarious and kept calling me over to look at the latest atrocity (we just got episode one last night here in Aus)...

Where to begin.... The girl who was jumping up and down like an excited Chihuaha that "oh my god I love performing" - and all giggly in that fat-person-trying-to-be-happy way.

The splits. The grinding splits. Fat girls grinding their muff near the ground is NOT sexy. I loved the part where the judge said she couldnt do the splits and she was shocked that a tubby could do it. Cue Tubby doing it again. We do not need to see this.

Tubby 3 - dont recall her name - saying the outfit made her look hot. Does she know what hot means? It doesn't mean "This dress makes me sweat".

The girl who said she was "shaking what her mama gave her" like she was proud of weighing the same as a small passenger car. Just to say: Your Mama did not give you that a**. Cake and fried food gave you that a**.

I felt compelled to post. First time I've ever commented on a TV show forum. This is the worst thing I have ever seen on TV, and if you can't see that the whole thing is insincere, degrading, stupid trash TV then I guess that's your problem.

The newspaper here described it thus:

http://www.smh.com.au/news/entertainment/t...7941905546.html

Dance Your a** Off makes for a great punchline and might even extend to a good comedy sketch - but a series? Contrived doesn't even begin to describe this combination of The Biggest Loser and Dancing With The Stars, the US's "first ever dance-weight-loss competition", host Marissa Winokur unnecessarily informs us. Generously proportioned contestants perform a dance routine with a professional partner. Then, after receiving a score from the judges, they jump on a large set of scales. Seriously.

This is a frighteningly garish production full of shrill, inarticulate Americans. "I'm, like, oh my god, this is really real," gushes one woman. It's weird, but not in a good way.

I think the words you typed here in this paragraph describe you. Just by what you type, you are seem creepy. I'll add that to the pot.
I would have taken you for a young teenager but the fact you say you have a wife tells me you are an adult.
Wow, you have some serious growing up to do.. Seriously!!
Not everyone will like the show but good lord -sit down my dear.. You are getting too worked up over this show and posting so much ugly stuff one might think you are a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
Feedback is always good but you are the straight forward attack on people working on issues they have.
Ewww issues issues... .... You are speaking to me but not in a good way.. LOL
So what are you going to do today about your obvious issues?
Or do you see them yet?

Working on the issues they have means: eat healthier and excerise. Not make a spectacle of yourself on international television.

I think the Sydney Morning Herald writer summed it up perfectly:

This is a frighteningly garish production full of shrill, inarticulate Americans.

You clearly have a right to your opinion but did you ever think of it like this?

You see what you are thinking and feeling, seldom what you are looking at....

The people struggling with weight issues are always an easy target for those who are weak in character.
There is such a thing as constructive criticism and then there is going over board.
Where are you at?

The producers and everyone involved in this trash television are the guys in the wrong here. They're making a mockery out of the tubbies, I'm just the guy that's pointing out that the emperor has no clothes on.

If you cannot see the cringeworthy nature of this show, I pity you. It is just awful. Dress it up how you like, this show is all about exploitation and amusement.

With that in mind, I have an awesome pitch for Oxygen.

Let's take some more popular shows and combine them. Lets say Greys Anatomy and Don't forget the lyrics. We could get cancer patients and have them sing. Especially the throat cancer guys with the voiceboxes.

Now all we need is a host thats a cancer survivor - who can tell these guys that their singing is "awesome" and "awe inspiring" and never, ever mention the fact that it sounds completely and utterly awful.

(BTW guys, if you use that idea, I'd like a cut).


Hound.

Okay-we get it, you don't like the show... Enough already.. Next.....

YOUR WIFE??? OH MY GOD!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAA LOL YOU'RE A....A......A MAN?????? YOU ARE KIDDING? I THOUGHT YOU WERE A 16 YEAR OLD UNPOPULAR GIRL WHO GETS BACK AT THER BULLIES ON BLOGS!! OH MY GOD THIS IS BRILLLLLLIANT!!! I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING, YOU'RE A MAN......A MARRIED MAN? OR A LESBIAN? WOOOOOOWWW HILARIOUS, THE CONTESTANTS ARE WRONG IN THINKING THEY ARE HOT IN THEIR OUTFITS AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING BUT A MARRIED ADULT MAN (QUESTIONABLE) WHO CALLS PEOPLE NAMES ON A BLOG MUST BE A REAL TURN ON TO YOUR WIFE HA HA HA IS SHE AWARE SHE MARRIED A BITCHY QUEEN????? OH THIS MADE MY DAY! SOOOOOOO FREAKIN SAAAAAAAAAAD! LOL

LOL

Maybe Evil Hound gets thrown around like "cheap lawn furniture" at home and this is his outlet... LOL...

Half an inch. That's how far you'd have to move your pinky to turn off caps lock and not look like a complete and utter retard.



It's bad to laugh at tubbies but laughing at domestic abuse is ok ? Oh dear. And I thought I was the evil one... or do you just share your sympathy for kindred (tubby) spirits. Hey, heart with a smile - there are some terminally ill kids chatting on a forum somewhere - wanna go and hassle them too? I promise we'll leave the fat ones alone.

Evil please find your happy place and just be there for a moment... Embrace the peace and then come back and visit this blog.. Hopefully things will be better for you.

OMG!!!! Evil H, I cannot believe you are getting so worked up about this. What did these poor people do to get you so upset? You are taking this so personally. Why is that? I for one see the positives in this show and in the contestants. I see the passion, drive and courage in them. I wonder if you are one of those people that see the negatives in circumstances. I wonder what would happen if you used your powers for good )
