When NBC hired tennis hottie Anna Kournikova as its new trainer on “The Biggest Loser,” it seemed like a natural fit — but with insiders now saying Kournikova was “a nightmare,” it clearly wasn’t a good match.
(Ha! Get it? Match? Like a tennis match?)
(Shut up.)
Well…that was quick. Anna Kournikova is leaving The Biggest Loser after serving just one season as head trainer.
Sam Poueu, who appeared as a contestant on the 2010 season of the NBC weight loss reality competition The Biggest Loser, is in stable condition after suffering near-fatal injuries in a four-story fall from a roof.
Poueu, 25, fell from the roof of a San Francisco apartment building earlier this month, as he tried to climb down a fire escape at a friend’s apartment after being locked out while on the rooftop of the building. He was rushed to an intensive care unit (ICU) with head trauma and several internal injuries — including pelvic injury, a punctured lung, torn ligaments, and a broken leg. He underwent three surgeries following the Sept. 3 incident, but is finally out of the ICU and on the road to recovery, PEOPLE has learned.
There’s a new Biggest Loser. In the series’ first-ever all-female finale, Olivia Ward enjoyed a victorious final weigh-in, losing 129 pounds and gaining a $250,000 check to steal the championship from her sister, Hannah Curlee, and fellow competitor Irene Alvarado.
But she wasn’t the only winner on Tuesday’s Biggest season finale.
We hear tennis ace Anna Kournikova is putting down her racket and picking up a bull horn to whip overweight reality stars into shape on the next season of NBC’s The Biggest Loser.
