Am I the only one that can't stand Jillian Michaels?

Just thought I'd throw that out there. I know a lot of people around here worship her and swear by 30 DS, which is cool with me. To each his/her own, right? I tried to do 30 DS when I found it on Exercise TV, but I just couldn't finish. The workout itself was nice and challenging, but her personality grates on my nerves. LOL. I tend to like to Beach Body people more...especially
Chalene Johnson.

I feel like I'm going to get publicly flogged now, but I just wanted to know if anyone else felt the same way.

    LOL yeah her personality is kinda weird, but I'm doing the 30DS now, and I like it a lot. It's working well for me. I'll have to check out the Beach Body one, haven't seen that one yet :)

    She's even more annoying in Ripped in 30 and her overt flirtations with her "girls" borders on sexual harassment. However, my drive to punch her in the face transcends in my drive to workout hard during her videos.

    i actually find her very motivating. sure she's a little strange but whatever, she gets results and motivates you through the whole workout

    She irritates the crap outta me...not to mention the fact that I find her a little too manly, lol! Oh well...all this and I still do her workouts - I just have to turn the sound down because she preaches a bit too much! LOL!

    I agree! I never liked her! However I did ripped in 30 and stuck it out because I loved the results.

    I agree that she is kind of strange and annoying but her DVDs do work well for me so I just deal with her anyway.

    Agreed. I could easily bear her with the Shred but she's just plain weird in Ripped. She even talks differently. And how about the annoying things like her statements in between like, "most people don't show up in their own life..." blah blah....! :yawn:

    But, the workouts are great, so I'll stick with it

    I hate her with a passion I didn't know I had in me.... Having said that, her 30 DS workouts are pretty dang good. I just can't get past her stupid face and her stupid voice and her totally UNmotivating comments. "You won't see modified jumping jacks. if a 400 lb man can do them, so can you" Stupid-head.

    When I do occasionally pull out that DVD, I just mute her and play some music! :D

    Same here. Although worryingly it's a computer generated image of her that I work out to everyday. :noway:

    I am so with you...I did ChaLean Extreme first before getting Ripped in 30, I was sooo spoiled by Chalene! She has some spunk, Jillian is just so dry

    I did ONE day of the 30 day shred and found it less challenging and pretty boring. So I went back to my men...Tony and Shaun. They are much more fun and motivating. Plus, I never watched the Biggest Loser so I really don't understand her appeal.

    I find her hypocritical, when they went through her fridge and all the food was "bad" food, but she lambastes people for eating "bad" food...ugh. I'm not sure I coul.d take 30DS, but I might try it.

    Most people (aside from these boards, maybe) don't like her, actually haha.
    I like her, I need to be yelled at to finish a workout sometimes so... she's what I need.
