I am also looking forward to the new season. But, I am soooo tired of the couples, family format. Time to get back to singular players, please. Hopefully next season?

Can't wait for the show tonight! I would also like to see singles again! Tired of the couples format. It seems you get to really see what the contestants are made of once they lose their partner.

Looking forward to the show starting tonight. Unfortunately I am going to have to tape it tonight Instead I am planning on going to boot camp. I'll be checking back after I watch the show. I'm sure I'll be staying up late tonight to watch it. No spoilers until I've seen it :P

Enjoy the show and the discussion tonight. Wish I could join in.

I've been looking forward to this new season since last season's finale.

I agree with the couples.... Not everyone watching who's looking for inspiration is gonna have someone willing to go at it. Yeah, working with someone is a great motivator and a great bonding experience, but singles can still do well

I was laughing as Jillian was yelling at the TV about the gray team member on the bars. Obviously, not at the contestant, but the situation was funny.

Gah! I've been crying non-stop since the opening lecture.
I'm gonna have to find it on youtube and send it to everyone I know. Even if they're in shape, they all know and care about someone who's overweight or obese.
I'm gonna watch it every day (when and if uploaded) for motivation.
