While I know the show is called "Dance Your A** Off", weight loss isn't the only other factor that should be considered in determining who stays and who leaves. What about inches lost? Saving yourself from elimination by dancing is great, but what about the people who work so hard they start replacing fat with muscle. Muscle weighs more and in toning up, may effectively eliminate someone who is really working very hard!

How about including inches lost in the next season?

I believe that they should overhaul the judging system completely. They have not taken into account that men lose weight faster than women, a well known fact, and that they natually have more muscle and strength. Also, the women seem to have it harder as they are expected to do more tricks and stunts than a man would be able to.. POLE DANCING MEN??? Please!!! That was just ridiculous. Taking inches into account would help but they could take a hint from that other show that pits men against women to lose weight.......

I think all weight loss shows should take into account that men lose more weight than women. It's also some other factories why this is true but it seem like weight loss shows just ignore it.
