"Season 5 will premiere on January 1, 2008. In this season, contestants will compete in pairs with a loved one, co-worker or friend. Alison Sweeney will return as host for her second season. Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels will return to train the contestants. Full information about the season will be available in mid-December 2007, when NBC launches the season five website. Kim Lyons was reported in an article on RealityTVWorld.com that says she will not be returning, although this may not be confirmed just yet." (Wikipedia)

Personally, I'm glad that Kim won't be returning. The show started off with Bob and Jillian, and I think that they were great... then Kim came along. Kim's training style was almost polar opposite to Jillian's, and she and Bob didn't seem to have the same connection as he and Jillian did. Plus, I always thought she was too whiny.

What do you think about Kim not returning?
