Anna Kournikova made her debut as a trainer on NBC‘s weight-loss reality competition The Biggest Loser.
She replaced Jillian Michaels in Season 12, which debuted Tuesday night, but the tennis pro is no stranger to the show: She has admitted she’s been a fan of the series for a long time and even made a guest appearance on Season 10.
After the episode aired, viewers hit Twitter to weigh in on Kournikova’s performance, with fans split on how well she did.
Among those praising her:
Mike Herro
Cry Fatty Cry is premiering right now. Never really gotten into this show but Anna Kournikova may change that.

I want to like the Biggest Loser, but if it turns into Anna crying every 6 min I can’t. Reminds me of Ty Pennington/Extreme Home Makeover.
