Anna Kournikova Leaves Biggest Loser
Anna Kournikova has left the Biggest Loser ranch. The new Biggest Loser started with only two trainers, Bob and Dolvett.
In a statement regarding her decision she said, “I enjoyed my time on the Biggest Loser ranch. Although I will not be returning as a full time trainer on season 13, I will always be a part of The Biggest Loser family and my commitment to bettering lives through health and fitness will continue.”
While many people were happy to see her go, I miss some female energy from the show. Right now it seems that the competition is more between the trainers than the participants.
Anna Kournikova Leaving the Biggest Loser
First came word that the former tennis phenom, 30, would not return for a second season as the trainer on NBC’s The Biggest Loser. (Rumors say she was “difficult” to work with and “too harsh” with the contestants.) Some speculate that the reason behind this decision is that Anna Kournikova may be pregnant.
At least one contestant took to Kournikova’s coaching skills. After leaving the NBC series, contestant Joe Mitchell told People that the trainer helped “fix” him. “Anna made me believe that I could [lose weight],” Mitchell said. “She drilled in our heads that the only person you can really rely on is yourself.”
The Hollywood Reporter says Kournikova rubbed some of the contestants the wrong way with her tough-love approach. Tells it like it is and doesn’t coddle people. I’ll bet Bonnie had something to do with it, that witch. People are obese for a reason. You have to be tough, not baby them.
Some say is that what Jillian did was get in their heads and help them understand why they got to be obese in the first place. Anna did not do that, and that’s why she was not successful as a trainer.
Sad to see her go…she really seemed to be coming into her own the past couple of weeks since they switched up the teams. I always thought it was unfair that a brand new trainer was assigned the over 50 crowd with their notoriously sluggish metabolisms. She was still feeling her way through how to approach things with people, and obviously she was never going to get along with Bonnie (is it just me or is Bonnie one of those women who responds best to men?), but I don’t think we have enough info to really judge her impact yet.
