Dance Your Ass Off will be back for a second season on Oxygen, but with a new host. Dancing with the Stars 6 contestant Marissa Jaret Winokur is being replaced by DWTS 5 semi-finalist Mel B. So why the change? Well even though Marissa did a good job on the show, she didn’t test well enough with their audience so they made the tough decision to replace her. According to EP Dan Cutforth Oxygen’s audience are Spice Girls’ fans, so Mel B was the perfect fit for the show. I have to admit I wanted to watch the first season of the show, but I opted not watch it because I personally find Marissa annoying. Now that Mel B is taking over for her, I will totally check it out.
Mel B told us that she lost her baby weight (60 pounds) by dancing and wishes they had this show on when she was trying to lost that weight because she totally would’ve done it. She told us that she will do more than just host, but she did not really explain how.
Now back to the show here are some updates. Season 1 winner Ruben Permel lost 90 pounds because of the show. If that is not good enough, four of the competitors are teaching dance now. Dance had become a big part of their lives now.
Now back to Scary Spice, she told us that there will be a Spice Girls announcement coming soon, but she didn’t tell us what but it sounds like it is going to be good. Melanie Brown also told us the secret to her abs and we can have them too if we get her workout DVD Totally Fit which actually sounded like a lot of fun when she was telling us about it.
