SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Such shows are being encouraged by the success of NBC's "The Biggest Loser", which has become one of the network's top-rated shows, the newspaper said.

One of the new ones is "Dance Your Ass Off", which premieres Monday on cable's Oxygen Network. Its concept includes 12 overweight men and women who are paired with professional dancers who attempt to teach them to dance, with the winner taking home $100,000. The show is hosted by former "Dancing With the Stars" competitor Marissa Jaret Winokur, USA Today said.

Premiering Sunday on Fox was "More to Love", in which "plus-size" supermodel Emme hosts a show in which an overweight bachelor searches for love among 20 hefty ladies.

And the second season of Style's "Ruby" premieres Sunday, in which Ruby Gettinger, who once weighed 500 pounds, is depicted in better health and taking care of herself, USA Today said.
