    It`s garbage. Sensational garbage that provides no one with tools to be healthy under the guise of ~helping people~ who have no motivation other than money to get fit.

    I agree - sensational garbage. Is all these people fainting on their first day really the healthiest way to lose weight?

    I don't like listening to Julian Micheals yell, she annoys me. I am surprised they haven't killed anyone yet, the way they push these extremely overweight people to their limits....someones heart is gonna give out.

    I want Jillian to do everything they're doing alongside them.

    So that's why I'm not watching.

    I am...love Julian, Bob and Dovett. The show motivates me to keep moving, to keep sticking to it.

    Because I don't watch glorified game shows like The Biggest Loser, Survivor, Amazing Race, etc.
    They're all ridiculous and not entertaining at all.

    I don't really watch tv but in the years that I did some what watch I was pretty impressed with the changes in these peoples lives. I wish I had the opportunity they had when I was at my heaviest as then I wouldn't probably be where I am now but.... at least it's still a good watch.

    Why watch on tv what I can be living in person? What I *am* living in person, with a lot less suffering and stress.

    Plus it's trashy tv, with trashy people treating overweight people trashy before, during, and after production. Why finance them by watching their trash?

    Because it is one giant commerical for Extra gum, ground turkey, ziploc snack bags (or at least it was when I watched it a couple years ago)
    I also agree Jillian Michaels gets on my last nerve.

    I don't watch TV. Also, it gave me unrealistic expectations regarding weight loss when it first started when I was very young.
    It's just a silly reality TV show, it's about da moneyyy.

    Oh and it's not actually on TV right now in Australia haha.

    I actually am watching, but I agree that Jillian is annoying. I can't believe that they haven't killed anyone yet either. I am sure they have a bunch of doctors waiting in the wings to keep them alive...and a bunch of lawyers in case they don't...

    I think Chris Powell is better. He is hard on them but not like that...

    I AM!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!! They motivate me and I love it when the trainers get personal and emotional with the contestants. In like watching the physicians jump in and help when the contestants can't handle it. My goal is to lose weight with them, I know I wont lose as muspch as fast, I just want to consistantly lose along with them. :-)

    Not into THIS season. I know childhood obesity's important... but I prefer to see grown ups get yelled at, deprived, and have their butts kicked!
