I don't watch this show, but when I was cruising channels last night I saw a little bit and it looked like a lot of people were falling off the treadmills...

I was not impressed that they had pushed that one young man so hard in the first 5 minutes that he had to be on oxygen. If I pushed a person that hard as a trainer I would be open for lawsuits and I am not sure if my liability insurance company would stand by me. I am all for pushing people, but that crossed the line.

With that being said I do understand that this is a tv game show and their goal is ratings to sell commercial time. The drama makes for good tv and ensures that people will not change the channel during the commercials.

I tuned in at the very end. I might start watching - in spite of Jillian being back.

Okay. I will go there because I am that kind of person.

I kept waiting for J's pants to fall down. I can't remember that being an issue on BL before. I know it from her DVDs, but not BL.

Other than that, I, too, felt she was "too" Jillian.
Too much, too early. I also got a vitriolic vibe from her
That I have never gotten before.

crap.I missed it. I hope i can find a rerun so I can keep up.

I don't watch this show but from reading your comments it looks like it succeeded at what it set out to do - create drama and controversy that has its viewers discussing it. Bingo!

Yea, for those that didn't see it like me,. you can watch in on their website.
