I'll say it loud and clear and until I'm blue in the face. Jillian is an amazing addition to the show, and I love that they welcomed her aboard.
I'll admit when I first saw Jillian on The Biggest Loser, a lot of the thoughts ran through my head that are reflected accurately in several negative posts. But I didn't really know her, and what her mission was, or where she came from. And now that I understand who she is and what her goal is, I'm glad she's on the show!
I do not understand why everyone is ganging up on her and saying she's ruining the show. I mean, first of all, that's rude. And another thing is, I hate that everyone is so willing to put her down when all she is trying to do is pay it forward and help others achieve the lives they want for themselves.
From a personal trainer perspective, (which I believe she falls into this category more than others), she is very good at pushing people, not "bullying." there is a fine line between bullying and pushing. One is, she's not aiming to make them feel like they are worthless, or hurt their feelings, or hurt them. She's aiming to push them to be the people they can't bring themselves to be for whatever reason they might have. Personal Trainers in GENERAL deal with clients that need that kind of push, and the "clients" Jillian takes on are no exception.
To address other comments I saw something along the lines of... "She's annoying, a bully, loud, abbrasive.... innterupts the doctors/talks over them."
Whatever, she's rough, likes to push people; she pushes them in a good direction. I like her spark, and so should others. It made me laugh when I saw someone put that she talks over the doctors... I then wondered if by chance they listened to the other doctors on the show or did they just hold them on this untainted pedestal of perfection. Just today when one of the doctors was talking to someone who called in asking about whether or not she should have her kid mixing with kids who have chicken pox, he was talking over her! And I'm sure I could find other examples, but my point is. Is Jillian an exception? Does she have more to prove? No.
I'll put a disclaimer on this: Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and I seriously doubt I'll turn heads with my blog. But I'm sick of people complaining about how miserable they think Jillian is. I love what her mission is, I enjoy seeing her try to make a difference in peoples lives granted, it's not a nice coddling way. But whatever.
This entire nation has been coddled for way too long, and look what it's lead to? One of the most obese nations on the planet, an ecomony that is walking on egg shells, and a some number trillion dollar debt that keeps expanding. At least one of us willing to snap the reality back into us.
Doing a good job Jillian, keep up the good work!
Sincere Fan

That was nice of you, Raquinn, to join to give this glowing review of Jillian Michaels. I agree with Dr. Jim Sears stance on Chicken Pox... I'm a fan of THE DOCTORS. Didn't/don't watch BL. Liked Jillian Michaels on her own show "Losing It" not on THE DOCTORS. Like Oprah, Jillian is a leader, not a follower, and I think needs her own show. Jillian speaks up when she thinks people on wrong path. I, as MANY, think Jillian's on wrong path as co-host on THE DOCTORS and saw that MANY want her back on Biggest Loser. So maybe she should listen to "her" fans. Fans here are pro THE DOCTORS like Dr. Jim Sears' EXCELLENT advice Chicken Pox parties not a good idea...
how can you enjoy watching someone yelling and screaming at people? She does not belong on the show. Bottom line.
Jillian Michaels is not a good fit for this show in my opinion. She is too loud, abrasive and tries to hog the spotlight. She interrupts guests and I am tired to watching her. I doubt I will stick with watching the Doctors if she continues. Her motives may be good, but her approach is a nightmare to watch. I feel sorry for the guests.
Last comment Ill make :) . . . Jillian is a great person I look to when Im looking how to tone my butt, my abs.. how to eat healthy and to get motivation to be healthy on a physical level. The doctors i want more diversity. Shes not an asset to the show. Ill skip the episodes with her in it. UNLESS they specifially have to do with exercise ;) thanks
I do not understand why everyone is ganging up on her and saying she's ruining the show That statement should be a wake up call to the Doctors show. This person likes her, but she knows that the majority of us are saying, get rid of her, she's ruining the show. We do not like her on the show.
Each to their own. The show has taken a turn for the worse. Yes Jillian my be a great person but not as a host on The Doctors. Time for a change until then I'm spending my time with another doctor show. I hope the McGraws get the message soon!

Raquinn, I can tell you are a fan of Jillians which is fine. The real issue here is that we are talking about,"The Doctors Show" where the staff is made up of highly educated, medically endorsed, doctors, not physical fitness instructors! There are plenty of those that have been on TV, made their fortune and have moved on some staying within their field of expertise and others who ventured out into other areas like that Tony guy from the L.A. area. Jillian would/was a fine guest but she's not a doctor and should not be giving her opinion on national TV as if she were a licensed MD. Nor should she be acting as Dr. Travis was originally being the leader introducing people, usually other Doctors with a specialty they intend to cover and talking with them on a pier to pier level. She's a physical fitness instructor with an old show and maybe a couple of books. We just want "DOCTORS", MEDICAL DOCTORS to give us information that is sound and credable. that's it. Give Jillian her own show, maybe have her as a guest if the physical fitness aspect arises again. Nuff Said...
Healthy Chicago you are very wrong! I am in better or the same shape as Jillian ,I Crossfit, ever heard of it? Best workout one could ever get! In fact I am more qualified to give medical and physical advice than Jillian is as I am a Nurse Practitioner, so no those of us who are frustrated with Jillian on the show are not ones who need to realize we have issues we want to watch a show called "The Doctors" not "The Doctors and a Personal Trainer who yells" In fact I enjoyed her being a GUEST and her on Biggest Losser but NOT on The Doctors all the time!
