This is the first season that I've actually watched the show and to be honest the only reason I'm watching is because I am family friends with on of the team. I don't know if I can stomach another season with Jillian. Ugh!!!

Hi, Style308! She certainly comes on too strong for my tastes. I'd probably run off in tears if I had a trainer like Jillian!

I actually don't mind Jillian that much. I didn't like her at first, but the last few seasons she really has grown on me. She is a bit of a strict coach on the contestants but I think she does it out of a good place. She genuinely cares about the health of the contestants and she wants them to be in better shape. which contestant do you know? that's pretty neat knowing someone on the show.

Sam and his cousin are family friends of mine. It's always fun to see someone you know on TV. As for Jillian, I realize you can't be sweet as pie to get some of the contestants to results but I don't think she understand some of the demographics of her contestants. Yes, people need to be pushed but I do think that she crosses some of the limits. I guess we all have different things that push our buttons...

Personally I can understand where one might feel this way, especially since she has been a little mean to some of them and telling them she thinks they are not trying hard enough, etc. but in some ways I think she also is trying to get them to really think about what made them get that Big and what should matter for them in the way of weight loss from here on out. Sometimes I am not sure what to always think of her myself, but until someone better comes along she is here for the long run I am sure.

I love Jillian and I think the show wouldn't be the same without her. Jillian knows how to get results. She has trained every winner on TBL except for one and that was the year she took off. When I first started watching I didn't like her but I realized she was just showing them tough love. Jillian has a huge heart and genuinely cares about the contestants. Jillian was my inspiration to start my own journey to diet and fitness. Not because she is "nice" but because of her no nonsense approach that threw all my excuses in the trash. I went out and hired my own tough as nails trainer. Some people need to be pushed hard. and i'm gonna take a guess you are family friends with Melissa.

I don't find Jillian annoying instead she has that will power to execute such tasks that would be of big help to every biggest loser aspirants. I am really amazed on how she handles each of the contestants situation and with that I am two-thumbs up on her. You know its not easy to train them because most of the time they don't have self discipline and well they're easy to be tempt on something most especially the food thing.

She is tough on the contestants, but I think she needs to be, so that they can come to the realization as to why they gained all the weight in the first place. I know it would be hard for me to do the things that she makes them do at the workout. She works them hard, and that is probably why her team usually loeses the most weight. I have noticed that lately, she does say things that maybe she shouldn't, but I also think she is tryi8ng to motivate them, and besides, they are there to lose weight, and she wants to make sure that they do what they had signed up for. I know, I couldn't do all the things the contestants have to do to lose weight. Take care, and have a very good day.
