Anna Kournikova will be leaving NBC's The Biggest Loser after just one season on the show.
According to The Hollywood Reporter she just didn't fit in with the crew after replacing Jillian Michaels.
It seemed like a great idea at the time: she's attractive, camera friendly and a major athlete. But staffers say they clashed with her, and some of the contestants found her a bit brash. Whereas Michaels was soothing, encouraging and even uplifting, Kournikova did not sympathize with her overweight contestants, often telling them about her own tough upbringing when they complained about training being hard.
A source on the show actually called Kournikova "a nightmare." She would definitely not have been mistaken for a life coach.
What will she do now?
