    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!

    (1) Because I don't have a TV.
    (2) Because from the few times I have seen the show outside my home, I think it is, as others have said, complete sensationalized garbage, that pretends to help people while making spectacles of them--basically exploiting them, even if they do get money.
    (3) Because if they treat the children anything like they treat the adults, it constitutes maltreatment IMHO.

    Edited to correct wording.

    My other shows are on :) Honestly, I forgot it was on tonight and I haven't watched in years. I have nothing bad to say about the show, just stopped watching. I actually almost made it on the show, but lost out at the end round. I might try and catch it here and there this season.

    We got rid of cable. We have Netflix and Hulu now, but... eh. *shrug*
    I watched it until I discovered the paleo life and everything on the BL suddenly became conventional wisdom rubbish.

    Why would I watch that utter crap? It proves that some people will only lose weight for $$ or fame..... pity that they don't look very good at the end either.
