    Seems like an odd person to replace Jillian Michaels....

    poor choice....they need a real trainer, not athlete who thinks they can train!

    Interesting article and choice for Jillian's replacement!
    We will just have to watch and see what comes of the
    choice in the next season.

    Kudo's to Jillian for making time to start a family! I hope
    she does well with that arena of her life! She will be missed!

    That's just plain ridiculous! She's not a trainer. She was barely a tennis player. They can do much better than that. Who is making these choices? Cara is annoying too.

    very disappointed with this decision! but in all honesty, not sure I would be happy with any decision or that I could give someone else a fair chance. I didn't want the show to change. We'll see though. she sure isn't a Steven Tyler or Jennifer Lopez! Hope the Biggest Loser knows what they are doing!

    I am not impressed with their choice. She is no trainer. They need a real trainer. Someone like Jackie Warner or Tommy Europe.

    I was shocked and disappointed too. It made me feel like the show is just getting too commercial for it's own good. I'll still watch, but I don't know how happy I'll be seeing her.

    oh well, life goes on!

    I haven't seen a full series of the US Biggest Loser in a LONG time - it is always screened at ridiculously late times here. What is the go with this Cara chic that everyone seems to dislike? I never rated Kournikova as a tennis player so it will be interesting to see what she brings to the show.

    Seems like a random choice. I wish they has picked unknown (but someone less irratating as Cara).

    AWW JACKIE would have been GOOD!! Anna already looks like shes a little anorexic... shoot if i was going to pick anyone even a tennis star that could train someone I would have picked a Williams sister or something. Someone who looked HEALTHY and thin.

    Anna looked too skinny last night...bony little legs.....just can't see her as a replacement for Jillian. I'm not crazy about Cara either. Oh well..........

    Not impressed to hear this.....I've really grown to like Jillian. I don't see Anna as an adequate replacement. I guess we will see!

    I don't think you can replace Jillian.... Bob is going to have to take it all over to keep us watching... GL Bob!

    Ok, I immediately thought when I saw her was - they want an anorexic girl to "train" the BL peeps? She said she's going to teach them everything thing she knows, does that include binging/purging? lol

    She's hot, but she really needs to gain some weight, IMO.

    OMG Jackie would have been amazing - I'm surprised they didnt get a "guest" trainer from australia for a bit they get amazing results. Lets watch the weight loss I reckon it will be very telling....

    OMG I didn't even know Bob & Jillian weren't doing it! We've only just started Season 10 this week in the UK... a little bit behind to say the least!
  • No, Bob still is on, all the other trainers are gone. Its gonna be Bob & Anna for season 12. I feel bad for Bob... the producers are saying they want to get away from the tape measure... um, then your gonna need a new logo...

    Thats like taking Top Chef and saying "we are gonna get away from the *cooking*

    I'm apparently in the minority because I don't get the Cara hate, and I won't miss Jillian for a second. Good riddance to that shill.

    Anna is a weird pick, though. Other than ratings, I don't know what she'll bring to the show. Yes, you have to be fit to be a tennis player, and I'm sure she's been going through some serious training for the last decade, but I'm not sure that qualifies you to be training other people.

    So....what does everyone think of Anna? Do you think she's a good trainer? Some times I think she is, and some times I think she isn't. Like, I do believe she is very patient with the Older group, and she's creative in thinking of new ways to challenge them and relate to them. However, sometimes I feel like: Bob has his training in fitness (group fitness instructor), Dolvett has been a celebrity trainer- they know how to be a trainer. Anna has never "trained" before- she is fit, but does she have experience in motivating others? Would the results be different if they had a different trainer?
