Alison Sweeney is new host of The Biggest Loser

Does she have pupils? 'Cause that picture above freaks me out.

Alison is so incredible. I am surely one of her biggest fans!!!! Of course she will be awesome as a reality show host, she has amazing talent. I've never seen the show, but I will watch it now. Sami, you go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think the host wears spandex, there is an old Days episode where she walks around in lingerie. Oddly enough that episode was one of the reasons she started looking into ways to loose weight and successfully keep it off.

This is an interesting choice. She has historically been one gorgeous lady, a little heavy or not, so there is a glamour element there that was not there before.

We've been able to watch her grow up on TV over the years (decades?) and I think a lot of American men may well have a little interest in watching her in another capacity. A viewer "crush" as it were.

But as a daytime actress who is now a real-life mother, women may well relate to her a bit better than the did the previous host.

It's interesting to see her branch out like this. Perhaps she simply felt that this show would be a way to give back and bring attention to the subject.

I hope it works out. I look forward to seeing her in spandex.

She will. Not only is she personable,with a bubbly personality, but she's been also struggled with her weight and lost it the healthy way (through diet and exercise). I love Caroline, but she never really got to be herself on the show and I always wondered why she was hosting since she doesn't appear to be in the best physical condition. She doesn't look bad, but a Biggest Loser host should portray what the show preaches to it's viewers.
