Put Down the Chips and Dance

Shake your groove thing.

Ever wanted to go out dancing, but decide instead to stay home and eat a bag of chips? The love-child of The Biggest Loser and Dance Your Ass Off is Oxygen's happier, more sociable weight-loss contest. While The Biggest Loser demands its contestants torture themselves only in the gym, Dance Your Ass Off has them dance their way to an endorphin-filled life in sexy, toned bodies. It's nice not to have to listen to somebody like Jillian from the Biggest Loser yelling like a drill sergeant at whimpering fatties.

DYAO has 12 contestants trying to lose 3,000 pounds over the course of the show and rethink their concept of "working out." Not everyone can Moon Walk like Michael Jackson, but it's hard not to dance around your living room as contestants boogie-down. And after just the first episode, the contestants have lost nearly 90 pounds. That's seven and a half pounds in one week!

    Yeah... Like it'll work. That woman up there, even if she loses enough weight will have to go to surgery for the unnecessary skin to be removed. America has a problem with obesity not because of not dancing enough, you simply need to stop eating s**t.
