Oprah vs Kirstie Alley: Battle of the Weight Loss Program; Which Side are you on? [Poll]

With Kirstie Alley back on board on the Jenny Craig train with a new ad showcasing her svelte figure, Oprah Winfrey starts promoting for Weight Watchers.

Last Christmas Eve, Oprah Winfrey boost the stocks for Weight Watchers after she appeared on an emotional ad to campaign for the fitness company.

In the one-minute commercial, the media mogul recounts her struggles with weight gain. Watch the ad below:



"Inside every overweight woman is a woman she knows she can be," she said. Many times you look in the mirror and you don't even recognize your own self because you got lost, buried in the weight that you carry...Nothing you've ever been through is wasted. So every time I tried and failed, every time I tried again, and every time I tried again, has brought me to this most powerful moment to say, 'If not now, when?'"

This week, Oprah tweeted a video of her with a "sexy breakfast" which included the hashtag #wwsmartpoints which refers to the program's famous point system.

According to The Business Journals, Winfrey has staked 10 percent in the company a few months ago. The stocks skyrocketed after the release of the new commercial which media outlets call "The Oprah Winfrey" effect to which demonstrates the TV personality's influence.

With Kirstie Alley back in Jenny Craig, the actress goes head to head with Winfrey as the two companies are fierce competitors.

Alley starred in a "Cheers" themed commercial which pitched how the Jenny Craig program is different from Oprah's Weight Watchers. She credits her 50-pound weight loss to the program and adds that she doesn't "track, count or worry" about the yummy food she eats.

The TV spot was made in a way to showcase how Alley lost weight how ordinary people do.

"We want to make sure that what the spokesperson goes through to lose weight is exactly what the client goes through, so there are no separate coaches, personal trainers or cooks provided," said Jenny Craig CEO Monty Sharma, as reported by New York Post.

Sharma adds that Alley also "works out on her own, goes for bike rides with her friends and family, but she does not have a personal trainer" compared to Winfrey to which the outlet assumes have a handful of assistants to help her manage her diet and weight goals.
