    I was thinking that they wanted a reason to get Reuben back because he is a celebrity so they made a big deal out of nothing. Would they do the same if the contestants had a 5 hour energy?

    All for the ratings IMO

    I think you nailed it....just a way to bring Reuben back....all for ratings.

    Just another way to create fake drama to get more people to watch.

    I honestly don't even think she did it.

    I think it was just a way to get Ruben back on the show (like others have already said in here).

    They're just trying to add different kinds of drama this season to make it different and more interesting than other seasons.

    I thought there was going to be a hot tub gif. =(

    cup of tea? cup of joe? or pill? don't care. (don't watch tv either, so really don't care.)

    Well, she wrote on Facebook that she did it.

    I don't watch TBL because I am not from the US, but I like Jillian and I think it is just ridiculous that people lament about a caffeinepill that includes as much caf as one or two cups of coffee. Helloho? Does anybody really think these people do lose tons of weight because of a cup of coffee?

    No big deal!! She is not killing anybody and she has been doing this reality show for a long time.

    Of course it's a set up to get that Ruben guy back. They know beforehand how much weight each team has lost and the white time was losing the weigh in anyway.
    That's said assuming that the real numbers are the ones we see. They probably can lie about a few lbs every week and make anyone they want make the final four.
    That's probably the reason why the rules regarding elimination change so much during each seasons.

    Maybe Jillian just took the bullet of a crude scam.

    What I know for sure is that her workouts kick my a** on a daily basis, that she is be thanked for for a lot of my progress and that I enjoy her podcasts a lot!

    If people are gullible enough to really believe they can lose the amounts of weight we see on TV while living their real lives, that's not exactly her fault.
    If you read her books and listen to the podcast, she never advocates the biggest loser rules to be applied in real lives.

    GO JILLIAN!

    I do her workouts regularly and will often take pop a 150-200mg caffeine pill beforehand anyway.

    I find it helps me work out harder and with better stamina.

    Although I find the frilled floral shirt and tweed jacket combo more shocking than anything. WTH JILLIAN?!?!

    Me too! She stated on her facebook page that the supplements were used and legal in previous seasons of the show. If anything, it was a flimsy excuse. What's a couple hundred mg of caffeine, really.

    you are going to tell me that ppl are giving her crap about giving 200mg cafeine to a morbidly obese person? Hows about they throw some twinkies in that hot water...At this point that would be like trying to sedate a rhino with benadryl..

    That show lost it's credibility many seasons ago. It's just a 60 minute commercial now.

    I'm really disappointed with how this show has changed. I would rather see more of the contestants and what they are learning than plugs for Walmart and Subway or crazy dramatic twists to make ratings. I still love Bob though because he's so precious.
