    no because one, i'm not big enough
    and two, it would be really embarrassing for millions to see me sweating, crying, panting, etc
    and 3, i want to lose weight on my own, i don't need to be on a show to do it.

    Would love to! My knees limit my mobility a lot so don't see it happening. Would be hard choice between Bob and Jillian. Love Jillian's in your face attitude but Bob seems to have more compassion!

    NO. First, no way my work (or any place I've worked for that matter) would give that much time off. Second, no way in hell I let the whole world watch me deal with any emotional baggage they may uncover. And 3, I hear the camera would put that 30 lbs I lost right back on.....that scares me

    I met a chick at my gym last year who tried out with her husband. They went through a LONG process of auditions, and in the end they lost out to another couple who ended up on the show (she claimed the other couple was more "dramatic' for the producers).

    Even at my heaviest, I probably wouldn't have qualified, but I can't imagine any greater motivation than to be doing it in front of the whole world to see!

    No. I could not take that much time off work, I am not baring my fat and my emotions for the whole world to see, and Jillian Michaels would make me cry like a little girl. I will just keep doing this my way!!

    No, I'm a very private & shy person. I wouldn't want my life to be shown on TV for millions to see.

    Even though I wouldnt qualify I would love it! Any chance for bob or jillian to kick my *kitten* would be totally worth it! PLus the ranch looks like a pretty awesome place!

    No thanks!

    Would love to have Jillian as a personal trainer (and not just via DVD), but I don't want to air my personal baggage for all the world to see and judge!

    I got through the 1st stages of interviews for the UK version 2 years ago but they said my ''sports background'' was not good for the show and unfair on the other contestants (I played Rugby League at a high level) but when I was messed about and had to get a real job thats when my weight gain crept on gradually leaving me at 23.7stone, around 330lbs, so I now think the show thrives on exposing peoples weaknesses more than helping them lose weight

    *obviously its tv and they go on ratings but still, I was in the same boat as all them other people wanting to be on the show and was turned down because I played Rugby once upon a time ago.

    Im glad I didnt though, I was in a desperate and lonely place at the time, I wouldnt even consider it now, I will stop editing this now lol

    I really wanted to at one point but then the contestants just kept getting bigger and bigger and I felt like I wouldn't be able to get on the show. But now I would not want to subject myself to that. Being in a sports bra for millions to see? No thanks lol

    As much as I love Jillian, Bob and Dolvett, I think I'd rather just do what's working for me without them yelling in my face. lol

    Not a prayer. But I wouldn't mind spending a week or two at their resort if I could afford it. (http://www.biggestloserresort.com/)

    Nope, I couldn't take that much time off of work and be away from my family that long. That, and I definitely don't want my emotional baggage aired on television for the world to see. No thank you!

    I definitely would if I could. I'm technically not eligible for the show, but it would be nice to have someone push me to the next level and get me down to my goal weight. I've been struggling with my last 20ish pounds for 2-3 years & it would be nice to get it off once and for all versus bouncing back and forth.
