JM, Please tell me I'm not the only one that hates her?

nas24

So let me start by saying that i think she's great at what she does, Jillian Michaels, that is. But i swear every time i see her face i just want to punch her. All i can think about is her riding people like horses on the biggest loser and it just gets me all pissed off. I did her DVD 30DS and while it was a kick *kitten* workout, i stopped it because all i did was curse at her the whole time and couldn't stand looking at her. Please tell me im not alone here.

I don't hate her... she sometimes makes me cry though...

budhandy

let just say she is the first woman for me to call her every bad nasty names i could think off like ***** and a word that rymes with burnt lmao

InnerFatGirl

I don't hate her, and liked her in the 30DS, but watching how she treats those on BL made me FURIOUS.

LaMujerMasBonitaDelMundo

Biggest Loser is just an entertainment show & that most probably all her yells or name calling the contestants there are "scripted". I understand how you feel because I used to think the same way too but don't let those scripted emotions get over you. After all she did a great job in increasing the ratings of the show.

SweetSammie

I think she is annoying. I cringe when she says, "hey buddy" and "riiiight" on the video. When I do the punches, I aim towards her face....

So, I agree.

allegedglobalconspiracy

I used to feel the same way, but I (just for the hell of it) checked out the podcasts she does, and she really is awesome. She has a much kinder and funnier side than you see on BL. And she seriously knows her stuff.

KellyKAG

Agree 100%. She makes me nuts. I can only do 30DS on mute.

autumnk921

I am not sure why but I cannot stand her or her voice & the faces she makes...She thinks she is so cool...Like a kid or something...I don't know what it is...

I bought one of her Dvd's RI30 & did it for a couple of days but I couldn't stand her....Needless to say, I am desperate to start losing weight & I have seen the results of many from 30DS so I ordered it & a couple more...I figure I will turn on my stereo while I do her Dvd's (once I know what to do) so I don't have to listen to her....It is going to be hard but maybe I can use my anger & annoyance at her to get through the workouts...I hope anyway!!

Great topic!!

Kerri_is_so_very

The results are what motivate me. I never watch The Biggest Loser because I feel it is way too scripted and so not real life....yeah, sure sweep me away to an isolated place where my only job was to work out and I could kick *kitten* too, but that isn't reality!!! I hate some of the things she says on 30DS and it gets super annoying by the 7th day! LOL Someone suggested muting the work out and putting music on, I need the verbal cues. I'm sure there are other work outs that would get the same results and JM isn't for everyone that's for sure! LOL I also try to focus on the girls actually doing the work in the videos and try to tone her out as much as possible.

Maybe I need to check those out as well...Maybe she has a different personality to make people hate her during her Dvd's...

This may sounds silly but how do I get to podcast? lol

skylark94

I agree that her Biggest Loser persona is likely heavily scripted. Reality TV is far from real.

Aesop101

It's a show and there's acting involved.

JoolieW68

I don't not like her, but I wouldn't buy any of her stuff just because it's from her. I did like Biggest Loser a lot more when she was on it because she had a way of cutting thru the contestants bullsh!t excuses and getting them to work.

I like Bob and Dolvett, but dont think the show is the same since JM left....and barely watched this past season.

BJPCraig

Yep, I hate her with the burning passion of a thousand suns.

drdortch

I am as big as some of those contestants on the Biggest Looser. I understand why Jillian rides them as hard as she does.... because they need it. I need it. It's so easy to find an excuse to quit and give up. Jillian know they can't afford to do it. Their life depends on it. They need some one to force them.

Why not just get a DVD featuring someone else?

Loves418

I really like her maybe I am one of the few. First and foremost she is little 5'2" and her starting weight was something like 185. For me I am 5ft even and my weight was 187 when I started. I can relate to her because of the height and closeness in weight.

If you watched BL she really got into the heads and hearts of the people on the show. I only wish I didn't have such issues with my heel. When I did 30D shred I saw results but I had to stop all the jumping jacks and other high impact. I really miss it, I would laugh at level one when she says I know you are tired and want to turn off this DVD don't you dare, because yea that was me at first.. To each his own I guess.

blueandigo

I want to marry her so she can talk dirty to me all the time.

Shanel0916

I like JM (maybe because I've never really watched the biggest loser)who better to help someone get in shape than someone who was also once overweight. I love her kick *kitten* personality!

SexyCook

I have done my share of at least 5 jillian dvds...got results but hated her voice...She is my girl crush though she hurt so good..I must admit on JM BODY REVOLUTION SHE is so fun and lovable...I look at her differently!

Awkward30

I don't really like her, but I hate Bob Harper more. And I hate how the Biggest Loser is now just an advertising show.

stepherzzzzz

I like her. I've never seen Biggest Loser, but I've seen plenty of interviews with her and I'm currently doing the 30 Day Shred and she seems to really know her stuff.

xYumzx

Im supposed to do day 3 of her work out out level 1 but I hurt so i might take a break... i kind of tone her out.. put my music on and all that... lol

IrishHarpy1

Can't stand her... it's not just the "scripted" things she's said but some of the things she had called the contestants behind their backs. The hypocrisy made me want to punch her right in her obnoxious face.

You couldn't PAY me to do one of her workouts.

BPayton27

No, you're not the only one with the overwhelming urge to knock her teeth out. I don't know WHAT it is about her, but I just can't get on board. I KNOW she's an amazing trainer but o.m.g she annoys me. I'd much rather a Harper DVD any day.

wbgolden

i would do anything she told me to.

anything.

UpEarly

I don't think much of her. I generally disagree with her 'motivational' tactics... and personally, I don't think her workouts are all that effective or challenging for me.

I agree...I love her kickass personality too

umachanxo

Love-hate for me. I LOVE her workouts and I think that her own journey is incredible. She inspires me and her motivation keeps me going. BUT when I'm doing her workouts I call her the devil. Hahahahhaa.
