'The Biggest Loser' returns

What did you think of the twist on The Biggest Loser?

If you missed it, the premiere started with 18 contestants and then only 12 were chosen to train with Bob and Kim, and the other six people were left totally dejected. Then trainer Jillian Michaels from Season 1 rolled up on a motorcycle and told them they would be the black team and would train for two weeks separate from the red and blue teams, after which they would surprise the other teams and rejoin the game.

It seems that Bob and Kim don't know about this twist, either, so it should be interesting when everyone is reunited on the next episode, Tuesday at 8 p.m. on NBC.

Also, the show has a new host, soap star Alison Sweeney. She's a tad stiff thus far, but she seems happy to be there, and that's worth something, right?
