A Big Fat Hit!!!
Filed under: TV News
Big bootys are back in, bitches!
According to the Nielsen ratings, the premiere of Oxygen's highly anticipated dance/weight-loss show, Dance Your Ass Off, on Monday night was the most watched series premiere in the network's history, bringing in an impressive 1.3 million viewers.
Wow!
The show, hosted by TONY Award-winning actress and former Dancing With The Stars contestant Marissa Jaret Winokur, places buxom babes and big ass fellas on the dance floor to show off their moves and shed the pounds.
Did U watch the show? What did U think?

why did you take any part in thiiisss?
Didn't watch the show…nice to see the fat people taking over tv again. Been a while since a weight loss show has been on the air. Next season they should get Nikki Blonsky to keep with the whole hairspray/tracy turnblad/fat people dancing thing…she could use the work.
WAS YOUR SUPER FAT FRIEND BETH PART OF THIS????
I wish I could have! Boo Canada and our not getting Oxygen!
BUT, I hear great things AND Marissa is one of the most amazing people I have ever met.
first
I watched it. I found it very interesting! Nice to see people on tv that aren't perfect! 2 thumbs up from me!!
It looks like it could be a really cute show.
Maybe some will get thin and go onto dancin-w/the stars?lol
sounds nice. don't have the channel tho. it's like biggest loser meets so you think you can dance?. mmkay. nice to see Marissa getting a job in these harsh times. she's a cute girl. loved her in Curb Your Enthusiasm when she and Larry kept getting into strange moments at the doctor's office. Ha ha.
was interesting, but they need to cut it to 1 hour…the first episode was 1 hour and 21 minutes…could have been done much quicker
Perez you should sign up, you could loose a few hundred pounds =]
Disgusting
How can this possibly reflect acceptance of big women when they're expected to lose weight while on the show? I call it exploitation yet again of big people.
FUNNY ABOUT ALL THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS REGARDING FAT PEOPLE. CHANCES ARE YOU PREJUDICED BITCHES HAVE A MOM OR A DAD THAT LOVES TO EAT! BETTER WATCH OUT BITCHES SITTING IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER SITIING ON YOUR ASS EATING CHEETOS AND MAKING RUDE COMMENTS WILL BRING YOU LOTS OF GOOD KARMA AND A FAT ASS COMING YOUR WAY. P.S. I CAN NOT WAIT TIL YOU BITCHES GET KNOCKED UP AND END UP FAT AND HAVING THE HARDEST TIME LOSING 5 OF THE 50 POUNDS YOUR GONNA GAIN! LOL
Sorry this was a big hit and it HURT my eyes and I have found my new THINSPIRATION!
Wonderful!! Finally the true reality of America is being displayed and I like it.
I did watch because I love seeing people striving to make a difference in their own lives and setting an example for others. I did find the show to be cute and fun to watch but it would be even BETTER if the dancing was actually live every week - like DWTS.
Re: JENNFIG –
I called them fat people as an endearing remark. We all have to accept who we are and how we are built…and clearly this show is about weight loss right? Besides I'm a "fattie, fattie 2 by 4! Can't fit through the dressing room door?" LOL
nice dress perez
Re: JENNFIG – Loved that comment, so very true!!! x x
I thought it was AWESOME!!! Where was this show when I was trying to lose weight??? It shows real people literally dancing their ass off to lose weight. I can't wait for the rest of the season!!
Didn't you just post something saying "Who is Marissa Jaret Winokur"?
I didn't see it. I just wanted to say that the pink dress is gorgeous!
I WISH I WAS ON THAT SHOW, LORD KNOWS I NEED IT….
I thought it was great, anyone who has ever had a problem with weight loss we know how hard it is to loose weight. So I think it was great.
An 8-minute "recap" version of the show is available on Hulu.com. Watch it there.
I think the show is pretty inspirational, though I didn't like the whole bit with the "Eat/Cheat" refrigerators. I feel like the people on that show really just want a chance to have a life that they haven't had before, and that element seems to just be there to mock them.
It was horrific. It was painful to watch. I couldn't turn away, yet I couldn't stand to see any more. It was awful. it was almost commical. but hey, you gotta hand it to them, at least they are doing something.
the nation should stop highlighting fat people like this. you wanna lose weight? do it the normal way with diet and exercise. fatness is preventable except sadly most of our nation is too damn lazy to do anything about it. if employers can give smoking employees grief for insurance they should do the same for overweight people.
skinny (not anorexic) is and will always be more beautiful.
back in the 60's the average weight for a 5'7” woman was 110 pounds, now it's blossomed to 135. thanks fatasses of the nation >:|
cool, funny and different.. Lisa Ann Walters looks hot in Stop Staring!!!!!!!!!
Re: caffeinated_princess –
You're welcome
I watched and it was fun! Maybe it will inspire people to take up dance as a way of fun exercising. Dancing isn't just for skinny professional dancers-it's an expression of joy!
Dear Caffeinated Princess: Go half-caf next time-you're bitchiness could use a reduction too!
I'm not the skinniest person myself, so it's nice to see these people trying to get fit and aim for a healthy goal.
Then again the majority of overweight americans don't have cameras in their faces, crowds of people cheering them on, and the same kind of support these people are recieving.
The comments on this are disturbing. Thinspiration? Fat people taking over TV? Please. There are NOT that many shows in regards to people who are of bigger body builds. Yes, some of them are overweight, but look at their body shape. They're not ever going to be 90 lbs! It's nice to see something other than a stick walk across TV. Sucks I don't have cable.
Re: caffeinated_princess –
LOOKS LIKE WE KNOW HOW YOU PREVENT "FATNESS" AS YOU PUT IT, CAFFEINE. JUST LIKE A DRUG ADDICT TO BE POINTING THE FINGER AT EVERYONE ELSE BUT THEMSELVES. GO GET HIGH AND LEAVE US BEAUTIFUL, CURVY, AND DRUG FREE PEOPLE ALONE, BITCH!
Re: misfitglory182 –
LMFAO
Yep I watched it and the only negative comment I have is…hello wardrobe…we get it, they are fat…now please cover it up a little more. I think they purposely made the outfits to over expose them….it smacked of rating BS and was just ridiculous.
.
No, didn't watch it, and don't plan to.
.
But, good luck with the weight loss ..
Dancing is fun & good exercise .. it should work for them
Re: JENNFIG –
High off of caffeine?? Interesting…I think I have been indulging in the wrong kind of caffeine then.
No wonder it was a hit, what elses do all those fat people do on a Tuesday night but sit their fat asses down and watch TV. You know childhood obesity rates in the United States have more than tripled since 1980 and adult obesity rates are over 25 percent in 31 states and over 20 percent in every state except Colorado. And I doubt all of the dancers have a 'THYROID' problem! Greta they FINALLY taking a step, whoo hooo, what about all the drain the already put on society?
I'm glad that this show aired, not only does it bring overweight people onto tv, but it helps them lose weight while they do it! Go big girls! And guys.
I saw about 10 minutes of it, near the end. It's interesting, that's for sure. The dancing was pretty good, actually. Not DWTS - but better than I expected.
Re: misfitglory182 –
7 FOODS THAT CAN GET YOU HIGH!!!
#1.Coffee
America's favorite legal stimulant is so prevalent that everyone forgets it's a drug. Our collective amnesia likely stems from the fact that a Starbucks tall coffee (12 oz.) contains 260 mg of caffeine, and caffeine intoxication kicks in at 250 mg. It's true, working citizens–we all go to work stoned! Medically stoned!
The Downside
Lest you think that you're a rebel for going to the office hopped up on java, know that you're still not as tough as the guy who steals copy paper. Severe, deleterious caffeine intoxication sets in at 500 mg, so you're going to have to slam a black venti with a Red Bull chaser to get properly wasted.
Once you've risen to coffee-high nirvana, you'll soon plummet to coffee-high hell. Symptoms of excessive caffeine usage include hallucinations, diarrhea, convulsions, vomiting and "confusion" (once that 12th latte has you convulsing, vomiting and shitting all over your local Starbucks, you're probably not going to be the only one who'll be suffering from confusion in the room).
I watched it because I stumbled across it while flipping through the channels and it wasn't something I would expect to be a hit but it wasn't bad for a bunch of fat ppl dancing with a skinny person. Some got some good moves.
the one in the pink dress is a beautiful plus sized girl.. not that obese vomit inducing pig, Beth Ditto
Re: Starflower11 – Fat people taking over the tv was a joke. Ha Ha. I don't see whats so disturbing about it….isn't it good that we aren't having to stare at Lara Flynn Boyle's and Calista Flockhart's anymore??
Re: JENNFIG –
LMFAO Convulsing, Hallucinations, Diarrhea AND Vomiting??? Sign me up. They should have a buy 12 get 1 free program at Starbucks!!
This show was not intended to make fat people thin, but to enlighten them about eating nutritiously, exercising, and feeling good about themselves. Great premise. Wish there were more shows like this instead of rich, spoiled kids. I just want to slap the parents of NY Prep kids.
Re: likris –
Isn't that telling them how to lose weight??? And there has been shows similar to this…. Celebrity Fit Club, The Biggest Loser, etc. etc.
DIDN'T WATCH THE SHOW.I ONLY HAVE A 32"TV SCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: JENNFIG – #13 I LIKE HERION MYSELF………..
The hypocrite strikes again!!! Just the other day, Marissa Jaret Winokur was a pathetic has-been in your eyes and now that she's proven you wrong, as usual, by having way more pull with her show than you'll ever hope to have, she's "Tony-Award winning actress" Marissa Jaret Winokur. How can anyone take you seriously???
1.3 million is a hit? gimmie a break, i saw the preview and it made me puke in my mouth watching those cows shake their blubbery arms around.
I watched, due to the fact it's on right after Tori & Dean. It wasn't bad at all! I usually AVOID dancing shows, but this one has heart. I was really rooting for everyone on the show. I think I'll watch for the rest of the season.
Re: JENNFIG – you can still have curves and be skinny, me and all the other females in my family are proof of that.
and ironically i haven't had caffeine in a couple weeks (don't feel like changing my name)
and just because i state my opinion i'm a bitch? well then technically we're all bitches for stating are opinions.
now go enjoy your twinkies =p
Re: caffeinated_princess –
I OBJECT! Just because people are a lil chubby or fat does not mean that they indulge in twinkies and sweet stuff. I find that very offensive Caffeinated.
Oh and I'm a bitch and proud
Re: caffeinated_princess –
DON'T KID YOURSELF, YOU ARE STILL A PREJUDICED, DRUG ADDICTED, BITCH WHO ENJOYS INSULTING PEOPLE THROUGH THE INTERNET BECAUSE YOU FEEL UNTOUCHABLE, WELL GUESS WHAT I JUST REACHED OUT AND TOUCHED YOU AND GOT A RISE. YOU WEAK MINDED FEMALE DOG. REMEMBER, JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU ARE SKINNY DOES NOT MAKE YOU ANY MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A MORE WOMANLY SHAPED FEMALE. CASE IN POINT AMY WINEHOUSE, SKINNY, A DRUG ADDICT AND FUGLY JUST LIKE YOU! PLEASE DON'T BRING YOUR FAMILY INTO THIS I AM SURE THEY ARE ASHAMED OF YOU TOO. OH AND BY THE WAY I AM A PHARMACEUTICAL REP AND LETS JUST SAY YOU CAN NOT BE IGNORANT OR FUGLY TO HOLD MY POSITION.
Someone said these people are being exploited and it isn't a celebration of fat people if they're expected to lose weight. Well let me tell you something, many of these people had serious health problems, such as diabetes and liver problems! They're not expected to get skinny, they're expected to become healthy!! Get it right! I'm not sure if I LOVE it, but I will enjoy seeing these people get smaller and healthier….
U fucking son of a bitch!!! U bash heavy/fat people all the time, not even truly heavy people, people w cellulite and so on, and u r going "Big bootys are back in, bitches!" Are they fucking paying u to promote them or what??? 2 FACE MOTHERFUCKER!
i want to see mario on a dance show! like dancing with the stars please go on it lots of peps would want to check it out and your site if the have never been well i dont think anyone dont know u lol but good publicity! i hate the show but would watch if you are on it.
you and the queen gaga can be partners
xoxo
I LOVE THIS SHOW ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE GENUINELY GOOD PEOPLE AND I WISH THEM ALL THE BEST!!!
Why aren't you in this perez?
Funny! I was going to Be on the Show but I couldn't because of my Schedule…All Good!
So this was the cause of the earthquake in LA two weeks ago!
Who the HELL wants to watch these huge people jiggle their fat all around the stage? Hey, I have no issue with big girls and boys…I ain't skin and bones myself…but that is just gross to watch. Blubber flapping all over…disgusting. A person can be big and beautiful, but this is NOT flattering.
The show was good. I watched it . Better than those assholes on dancing with the stars. " I got a bad ass body dancing!" Whatever!
i think its a great way to lose weight and have fun doing it at the same time!
