Jillian Michaels Reveals She May Not Stay with The Biggest Loser

April 2, 2009 -- In an interview with DietsInReview.com, Jillian Michaels discussed her role on the hit NBC reality program, The Biggest Loser. Due to a recent casting call for new trainers, she was asked if she'll be staying with the show. Jillian's response was direct, "I might not be."

"I need certain things to continue with the show, and if I can't get them, then no," says Jillian. She acknowledges that NBC has been great in negotiations, but that might not be enough because she's simply not happy.

I need certain things to continue with the show, and if I can't get them, then no
keeping creative options open for next season
"I am freakin' miserable!" she admits, noting that Biggest Loser Season 7 has been a tough one for her, going so far as to say that she really hated some of the contestants and that made it difficult to work with them.

In February, NBC announced the casting call for trainers to be a part of season eight, which will air in fall 2009. Speculation immediately rose amongst fans of The Biggest Loser. While an NBC spokesperson said they were merely "keeping creative options open for next season," Jillian clarifies that there are definite questions about her continued position.

Dear NBC, please make Jillian happy. an unhappy Jillian is not a good thing.

Seriously she is my favorite part of the show. Sometimes I get mad when she dishes out the tough love but she is so sincere it is hard to fault her.

Yep. I like Jillian too. I like Bob but I think Jillian is the biggest part of the show. It sounds like there must be some serious conflict this season.

I bet the negotiations have less to do with money/schedule and more to do with power for the trainers. Perhaps the ability to save or boot a player or more choice in who gets to come to the ranch in the first place.

Wow. She *hated* some of the contestants? That seems kind of strong. I like her, but maybe she does need a break.

well I'm thinking it was the attitude of sione and felipe - I think the problem is Jillian keeps winning - her team - and Bob is a "nice" guy so it seems to me that the show for drama keeps pitting Jillian against Bob - and I think that should change! I think keeping changing the contestants from trainer to trainer is annoying as well!

I also am a HUGE Jillian fan - it took me awhile to warm up to her, but I do see her in a better light now!!

Denecee, no I reviewed my notes after reading your post and all I had was the 84 pound loss, so I reviesed Jerry's weight to match. That isn't an offial loss but just what he reported in his final interview. I imagine he'll have lost more by the end. I just corrected the table AFTER you pointed out the discrpancy.

==========

I think they have become so much more manipulative in recent seasons.. arbitrarily reassigning people to trainers, letting one person control who is on a team (last season, Heba), more and more "temptations" or prizes that take people away from the ranch/trainer or dedicate a trainer to only a few. I suspect she and Bob would both rather just do straight training, nutrition, etc.

Maybe she's tired of more and more product placements?

Or maybe it is Bob's competitive attitude.. he ssems to get so much more into telling people who to boot and of course is undoubtedly hating being branded as never beating Jillian, but really they are supposed to be helping people beat the weight and lifestyle. And flipping people between trainers means no one can really take credit anyway.

I can understand hating Filipe and Sione for flat out refusing to work with her.. should be in their contract to just man or woman up and deal with whoever they get. But she needs to re-think her words. Of course Bob had some pretty strong words about Joelle this season too.. in fact the whole beginning of the season was about Bob blowing up at Joelle.

Still, I remember how much less I liked the show with the other trainer when Jillian was not on the show.

As time goes by I think that Jillian is nicer than Bob. I think he crossed the line in working with Filipe and Sione this season. I also felt like it was more about him (and about getting to Jillian) than about them. And I felt like it was disrespectful to the team he was assigned. I am beginning to dislike him....and I loved him at first.

Bob and Jillian have both changed and they are probably tired. I agree with Seamonkey that maybe they both should get back to regular training for a while. The only way I could see a change working would be to bring on all new trainers (not Kim please). But I have no idea what their contracts are like.

I wonder if any of the past losers have enough knowledge to lead a group. Maybe bring some winners back as coaches with Jillian and Bob as consultants?

Good Points Sea - the whole of Jillian's team going off campus and eating and drinking during the comp??? that was just.... well you all know!!

and Bob crossed the line for me when he and his "boys" (team) made fun of Jillian's mom coming to try and help them analyze why they got that heavy in the first place!! To me, that had such an impact - and yet it was glossed over - so I see where Jillian would want some things in place - but I would hate the show without her!

and I need this show!

Jillian needs to threaten to leave the show in order to successfully negotiate for what she wants.On the other hand she is famous enough now to get her own show. And making money from books & CDs.

So I only watched the first five minutes before I was swept away to the park (a beautiful day here), but, all I could think was wow, Ron really thinks that the game should just be handed over to him... and how would the group mentality work at the end when only one person gets the prize? I am so interested in watching the rest of the show, but will probably have to wait until tomorrow morning to watch (have a few other things Dh will want to watch tonight).

I think that if they really want people there for the right reason, there shouldn't be a financial prize... the prize is getting to have personal trainers help you change your life. However, I know that everyone's "right" reason is different. Yes, I know the stations wouldn't have the show on the air if there wasn't a gimmick.

Sione was a very gracious loser tonight. He will make a great trainer.

Week 14:

Previouslies.. Mike tells us he feels betrayed that Helen, Sione.. actually dared to vote to send Ron home. Sione tells us he is here for himself and owes Ron nothing. Kristin says this is a brand new game. All of them back from voting and Ron snarks, want to thank those of you who kept me here. "Those who didn't, may you get struck down and die". Helen says now you know why we wanted to vote your ass out of here. (they are smiling but clearly, Ron feels totally entitled to all the votes to stay). Sione tells us it is always awkward.

Sione tells Mike and Ron that he had to think who he's playing for.. himself. Ron tells US that if they leave the pack they have to be ready for whatever comes (ed. no doubt Helen and Sione should be looking for horse heads in their beds tonight). Ron says if they fall below the line, they're out, that's how I will handle it from now on. Ron talking about people staring you in the face and lying to you, and about integrity They show a clip of Sione saying all he said was "you'll be fine" not that he was voting Nicole out. They are still arguing about that. Filipe trying to protect Sione. Ron is angry, but says no hard feelings. And says they are lying. Filipe says he kept quiet because in his culture you respect your elders but he felt a little violent (ed. oh me too Filipe..)

Mike and Ron go to their brown room and complain some more. Mike is pissed. Ron says "they tried their little power play and it didn't work". Ron is happy. Says they missed a step, didn't have the votes. Mike tells us when someone is stabbed in the back, they are expected to die, but Ron is still here, Ron says he is pissed off.. calls Sione a piece of shit. Mike says we are coming back stronger.

Kristin, Sione, Filipe and Tara talk in the blue bedroom. Filipe says he wanted to burst open and fire back, he could now see how Ron really is. Sione tells us he shouldn't have cornered me, did I ask everyone to save me? No, I told them to vote with their heart.

Krsitin says the conversations that Ron has been having with all of us was him trying to get a commitment that he would be fine.

Kristin tells us Ron is one of the most competitive, cut throat, manipulative in this game. Ron's been called a hatchet man, the godfather..

She tells the others as soon as we walked out of the gym, he said are you going to save me and you are like, whoa, what are you supposed to say or do (ed. think for yourself?)

OMG.. Tara tells us she would be afraid if she were Filipe or Sione, they might find a horse head in their bed.. Bad shit. LOL.. did I call it or what?

Mike says he will do everything in his power to make sure they go home this week. Ron tells him not to get mad, not worth it, they are still there and still a unit, play this smart, talk to them, laugh and joke about it and they will let their guard down and then they are gone. Keep your friends close, your enemies closer.

Ron tells us if you are the kind who tell everybody what they want to hear, eventually you're gonna get burned. He says he has fallen into the father figure here, people listen, do I take that role, yes I do and I take it proudly. It is my responsibility to make sure things are done right and that we follow the rules.. (creepy music and videos of Ron). We elected to keep him here (Sione?) because of our feelings and we let our feelings get in the way of the truth. NOW, I know how they play. You know what, come to me and say, I'm not such a straight upstanding guy and I'm probably going to lie to you throughout this whole game. Ron shrugs. God bless 'em but God's watching. Don't lie. And don't lie to my face.

Temptation: We find a smiling Allison in the gym, with tables and racks with covered silver trays.

Alli greets them.. says they haven't faced temptations this season. Today's temptation is going to more than make up for that. When this is over, one of you is going to get your hands on the biggest prize we have ever given away (at a temptation)

Promo says the contestants get power hungry in the most massive temptation in biggest loser history

There are 100 trays. Each tray holds a high calorie snack. When you choose a tray, you have to uncover it and you have to eat the snack. A few trays hold a healthy snack instead (plug for the gum) Each pack comes with a little bonus: a stack of cash (up to $5,000) One tray has a Golden Ticket, total control in the game.

Sione tells us with Filipe and I and Helen voting for Ron to go and Ron staying.. he doesn't want that power to go to anyone but himself.

Alli says the person with that card, will hold ALL the power this week. Ron gets a GIANT grin. That power is The one and only vote at this week's elimination. (Shark being jumped, IMO)

Laura wants that golden ticket so bad. (or Tara). Sione wants it.

They have to pick a tray, and eat the contents before going on to the next tray.

GO.. everyone standing there. Ron says everyone hesitated. And they are off.. All looking slowly.


Over 18,000 calories consumed.. Tara alone over 4000 calories. Sione or Filipe won a small money aamount, maybe $150. Ron won $1500. Laura won $5000.

Laura got the golden ticket. Tara and Laura celebrate. Kristin stopped eating early on, telling us that the golden ticket allowed a person to choose, but if you didn't go below the yellow line, you were safe, so she wasn't going to stuff herself. Sione tells us it would have been better to have that power in his hands.

Alli tells Laura as long as you can stay above the yellow line, ultimate power in this game goes to you and you alone.

Laura jokes to us about people giving her favors, back massages and cook for me. We see Tara and Laura hugging and Run is about 6 inches away, grinning. (I'm sure wanting to cement that Laura is still part of his "pack". And clean my room and bring me breakfast in bed.

Kristin tells us looks can be deceiving. Golden ticket looks nice but power can mess you up.

Alli doesn't envy them telling their trainers how much they ate.. good luck working it off.

Laura crows that she can vote off ANYONE she wants (uh.. no.. just one of two below the line).

We see the pile of trays and covers, all of which were flung to the floor as the competition went on.

Laura and Tara continue to celebrate. Laura says it is amazing. If they fall below the line with Tara, they are gone. Laura suggest that Tara fall below the line on purpose. Tara says not going to do that. Laura says WHY? Tara not game playing. Laura says DUDE, you have to! Whoever falls below with you goes home.

Tara points out, what if we fall below together. Laura says we won't. Tara says we have to make sure you don't fall below. Laura says I'm not.
Tara says this might be too much of a strategy thing. Tara tells us Laura wanted Tara to fall below the line so Laura would only have to beat one person. Tara isn't so into that. This is about losing weight.

All in the gym, cleaning up the carnage..
Sione says he has no doubt that Bob is going to kill him. Bob and Jill walk in on this.. Bob gets that tell tale knot in his forehead and asks what is going on. Kristin starts 'splaining about the temptation.. Jillian asks what if you didn't want to play. Kristin says they didn't have to but as you can see there was lots of playing. Jillian tells us she looks to them to be role models and set the example. She's not pleased. Disappointed. They start sharing calories consumed.. Helen 1600, someone 1500, one lost count.. Helen tells us we all got crazy. Bob is really upset to hear that Tara ate over 4000 calories. Jillian says it is so disrespectful.

Sione wanted that power. Bob says wanted power, and lost control. Jillian says putting so much at risk. Laura tells of winning the ticket. She tells us she ate the least amount of calories of those who really played the game.

Bob is glad that they feel shaky and glassy eyed. Laura tells us Bob didn't understand, they needed to win, or go home.

Jillian says what if a pound sends you home.

Bob asks how the voting went and Ron tells of Helen, Filipe and Sione voting for Ron. Bob seems surprised. Bob says when he heard how the vote went and felt that tension in the room, all those trays made some sense.

Bob takes Ron aside and asks what the hell happened.. Ron says they never thought what if Ron doesn't go. I'm the contestant that won't leave, I've been below that line so many times.. Bob says how many times.. six times. They laugh. Ron says if I was "them" I'd be scared to death.

Bob tells us he would never want to be on Ron's bad side, Filipe and Sione are now on Ron's bad side and he will seek revenge. (jeez, Bob has bought into this too)

Workout

Bob says he and Jillian will bust them up in the workout. They are working together and beating up an all of them.

Interestingly, Jillian is really concentrating on Kristin (and is working Ron). bob has a whole group, including Tara.

Kristin brings Laura breakfast in bed.. (wow, we see that they have sleep number beds)

Jillian takes contestants for a product placement for Subway. They get to meet Jerry and Coleen.. both look good.

Competition at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena:

They get to play a game. Running the stairs. Boys against Girls. Racing up and down over 2156 steps all around the stadium.

Whoever gets their flag to the center of the stadium wins. First two to finish do it all over again. Not just competing for self, but get to share prize with family.. 2 week trip for four to a spa in Utah.

Tara's strategy was to be aware of those around but not kill herself. Helen says steps get bigger at each level up.

Sione and Tara first from each team to reach halfway point. Ron is actually competing, slowly. Ron hoping Sione will trip. Mike catching up.

Tara gets her flag first.

Sione gets his flag.

Now Tara and Sione will face off.

Tara is worried since Sione has a new sense of focus and determination. Clearly they have respect for each other. And both want to win the prize. Off they go.. it is close, but Tara beats Sione. Sione admits that he's upset.

We see some of them walking outside. Kristin, Helen, Sione, Filipe. Kristin says what Laura wants, she gets. Sione says Ron is doing his magic just like he did his magic on us.. implying that Ron will control Laura. Krsitin says Ron has his focus on "you guys". Filipe asks Kristin if Ron falls below the yellow line again, would she vote for him? Kristin says she can't answer that question. Filipe tells us it scared him in the house that we voted for Ron and he's coming for us. Kristin says if she says what she might do, people will run and tell Ron what she said and he's gunning for her. Filipe is frustrated, if she thinks he will gun for her, he should go. Krstin tells us that if Ron sees her walking with these three (S/F/H) she could be in trouble. They tried to take the Hatchet Man down. Filipe says she knows that he wouldn't vote her home (I think). He's frustrated. Kristin breaks off from them.

Helen talks to Laura, nervous that Tara will fall below the yellow line.. what if Laura is also under the line then Tara goes home. LOL.. she says what if Tara is going to go below the yellow line and then you had a light bulb go off and realized that Tara is a threat to you?

(Implying that Laura SHOULD play that game and send Tara home)

Laura tells us that is really weird.. one minute she's looking out for me and the next second she is asking if I would vote out my own partner.

Helen says just wondering.. the other partners are related, but Tara and Laura are just friends, good friends, but.. just asking a question.

Laura wonders if Helen can be trusted?

Bob comes to a group and asks the mood of the house. Ron stares at him. (Ron, Filipe/Sione, Kristin in blue bedroom.. All quiet. Bob could feel tension with Ron and the blue team. Ron says Brown always had Blue's back and Blue had Brown's and Helen wanted to bust that up last week (let's all blame Helen)

Ron says Helen busted it up. Sione says, no that was our decision, Ron. Ron gives a LOOK, we hear rattlesnake rattles and Filipe looks freaked.

Bob says why not have a reconciliation so you can continue the alliances you used to have? Bob tells us they are still picking and nitpicking. He wants them to just move on.

Ron says with Laura having the only vote.. and Kristin says it would be risky but Tara's toying with going below.

Bob has wondered about that. Tara has no reason to lose any weight this week.. None.

Kristin claims that Tara said before the temptation that if one of a team wins the other will go below the yellow line.

Kristin thinks that would be too risky. Bob thinks Tara will do that.

Sione says usually he isn't as nervous but he is this week. Ron says as long as we stay above the yellow line, we are fine.`1

Jillian meets with Tara/Laura, Mike and Helen. She tells us week 14, they are heavy duty into game mode, not focusing on themselves but coming from pure fear and paranoia. Focus on YOU, don't focus on what you cannot control

Helen is worried about falling below yellow line. Jillian does not want Tara to throw the weight in. Nothing good will come of this.

Bob has the movie Marley & Me (bleh) as a product promo. Talks of movie popcorn and the calories.. with and without butter and veggies.

Last Chance Workout:

Jillian says there was an obscene number of calories this week..

Tara says no pressure on her this week.

Jillian working Tara, says she is phoning it in, suspects her.

Works on Helen, Helen wants to be safe.

Helen working hard.

Laura not working hard. Jill worries Laura won't even be able to use that ticket.

Mike boxes with Jillian and says to us he is beating Sione and Filipe closer to that yellow line, want to push them under. Jillian is SO frustrated with them.

Bob working Filipe/Sione, Kristin

Sione says since the challenge he feels it isn't good enough, he didn't win. Bob tells him to bust his balls to stay below the yellow line. He wants to see the fight back in Sione.

Ron is staring as Sione works hard with Bob.

The Weigh-in

Laura tells us this weigh in is different than any other week. I'm the only vote if I stay below the yellow line.

Ron just wants to be sure he and his son are above the line. He is fine with anyone else going home.

They meet with Alli and the coaches. Alli points out this competition is all about control. Laura has control. But if she falls below the line, she will lose that privilege.

Mike is 9 pounds away from the all time weight loss record in the house (this season being longer sort of guarantees all these broken records) which is currently 144 pounds.

Mike is up first. He loses 5 pounds. No record. He looks queasy, as does Ron. This is the smallest loss ever for Mike. He felt dejected.

Now Ron will weigh in. Sione tells us he'd be so happy to see Ron fall below the yellow line. Bad blood in the house now.

Ron loses 9 pounds. Mike smiles. Ron says yes he is happy but it put him above his son and he's not happy. Mike says shut up, be HAPPY.

Tara is up next. Jillian says just please, lose weight. She loses 3 pounds. Jillian glares, ominous music plays. Tara whispers to Jill "She didn't do it on purpose. I swear, she didn't. Tara is upset, says they seriously considered playing the game but she changed her mind, then only lost 3. Jillian is kind of pissed. Tara is upset that Jillian is passing judgement. Ron is now safe.

Kristin up now. She's had an awakening that she is in control here. She loses 6 pounds and is relieved. She's safe.

Helen is up now. She is worried for the first time. She needs to have lost more than 3 pounds to guarantee her safety. And she loses only 2 pounds. Very upset and in last place, even below Tara.. 1.17%

Filipe up now. Bob says Filipe and Sione better pull out some good solid numbers or they are going home soon. Filipe needs to lose more than 4 pounds. With a whoop, he loses 7 pounds. Just to jinx it, Filipe tells us Sione always loses more than he does. Filipe is safe, in second place at 2.39%.

Sione is next. He is nervous, but confident. He needs to have lost more than 4 pounds. Instead, he loses exactly 4 pounds. 1.54%. He is still in danger of going below. Tara is safe. Helen will be below the line.

It is all down to Laura now. She has to have lost more than 3 pounds. If she doesn't stay above the line, she is sure she'll go home. If she is safe, she has to make a tough decision. She loses 8 pounds so she is safe, Sione is below the line and Laura has to choose between Helen and Sione to go home. Ron is shooting "down with Sione" looks her way already. Bob is really upset for Sione.

Sione upset, Helen crying.

Ron is crowing that things couldn't have gone better for the brown team. Got what they were looking for, Sione and Helen below the line.

Elimination

Laura's choice (ed. with Sione on the other team and a bigger threat for loss and Ron's enemy.. seems like he is doomed, but.. we will see)

Laura wants to respect both Sione and Helen and will speak to each separately.

Sione says he's asking straight-forward, put the friend thing aside, just vote who you want to be here. Your decision, I would hate to in your position right now, but at the same time you can count on me, every single week, to help you stay here. He tells us he feels it isn't time to go. hopes to stay.

Helen's turn now. She says I don't want to leave, not ready to leave here, feel fortunate to have you and Tara to do it with, don't have Shanon, I consider you like my daughters, I love you. Laura says but you are smaller, and if you lose the same wight as me, I'm out of here.

Helen cries and tells us she wants to stay.

Sione gives Filipe a pep talk, tells him to do it for me like you did when I went home for 30 days. Do it for me. Don't let anyone tell you aren't good enough or motivated. Filipe is crying, says he loves Sione. They do a Tongan war cry .. go out fighting..

Helen says she has a great bond with Laura and she may look at me as a threat.

Voting

Laura tells us she has to be honest and vote out who she thinks needs to go home.

Laura votes for.... wanted control more than anything. Ended up being something that I didn't want, a burden on me. Helen you are like a mother to me. Amazing accomplishments. Sione, such an inspiration to me, see you as a brother.

She votes for.. based on what is best for me. One person has been here for me the entire time.. love very much. Sorry, have to send home Sione.

Sione remembers getting off the bus the first day, His turn to take the lessons learned and apply them to daily life. Knows he is a better father and a better husband.

He leaves.

He says this show changes lives. Will never be as heavy. Time for new road, share what he has learned with family and community. We see him with family. I have what millions of people want.. Wife and kids, trust her.

Next time you see me I'm gonna be the next Tongan Brad Pitt.

We see him arrive home. His wife, Britni says like a new guy, they will be stronger.

He will teach parents, brothers, sisters, they will see his commitment in action.

His mom, Veronica says he looks like when he was a teenager, His dad, Vuna is happy for him and proud. Britni says she thought she'd be a fat mom but we can do this. He brought little shoes for the kids..

Today he's down to 235 pounds.

He owned his own landscape company, but now he is studying to be a trainer. Britni says he has the personality for it and knowledge. He brings BL to 24 hour fitness and leads a class. LOL He sounds like Bob! He has gotten a hair trim, too.


Next Week:

Next Tuesday is a makeover with Tim Gunn. (Well, that is kind of nice for Helen to get).


Bob's Black team: Filipe, Kristin, Ron.

Jillian's Blue team: Helen, Laura, Mike, and Tara.

I'm so flippin' sick of Ron and his attitude and all the air time he is getting. Not liking Mike so much any more.

Sione will make a good trainer.

Sione looked awesome! I was so sad to see him go, but he was obviously ready. I'd train with him anyday.

Have to say that Laura surprised the heck out of me! 8 lbs in one week! She must have been way determined to stay above the yellow line. She needs to learn how to channel that determination more often.

Agree with Seamonkey about Ron.

Love the Tonga dance!!!

Mary, don't be TOO impressed with Laura's 8 lbs just yet. Didn't she have a 1 lb GAIN last week? So take the 8 lbs, subtract the 1 then divide by 2wks and its more that she lost 3.5 lbs each wk but because of water weight or something else her loss last wk didn't show on the scale.

I can't wait for next week's Makeover show! I hope they do something with Helen's hair!

It would be nice to see Kristin without the stripes in her hair too!

ETA: Sea, it looks like you have eliminated Helen before her time on your chart up above!

Will the real Ron please stand up? For weeks there have been small comments made on the show about Ron controlling the game, even from Ron himself. For some reason last night they decided to show us controlling Ron versus concerned dad Ron. And I think we all saw what some of us have felt in our gut about him for some time.

I agree Seamonkey. I started liking Mike less last week after some of his "entitlement" comments.

I also find it interesting how Ron was not losing in the early weeks and is now losing at a pretty good pace. I do not believe it took 12-14 weeks for Bob to figure out how to get Ron to lose weight. I do wonder however, how much of Ron's lack of weight loss was on purpose.... save it for the home stretch.

I agree that Sione is likely to do well. I liked the Tonga dance and I like his commitment to his family and community.

And make sure you are sitting for this comment... I still don't like her much but I want to see Tara win and it is not going to be easy with that huge target on her back. I can settle for a Kristen win based on Kristen's accomplishments but not her gameplay.

I think Mike is just sticking up for his Dad. I think most of us would do that no matter what. I'm not a Ron fan, don't get me wrong. I think it was just that they have kinda stuck together all along....and although they expect to have to "turn on each other" eventually. I don't think Ron amd Mike expected it when it was an "easy" week to get rid of someone that didn't have a bond in the house. Plus, they felt lied to as well. I think. haha

I timed out and had to start another post.

I like Felipe but I don't like how he played the Jillian thing. Very immature in my opinion so he is not in my top 2 but I will be okay with him also.

Ron went after the blue team last week. He should have realized he cut the ties himself. I do not want to see any brown in the final. Period.

Rom went after the blue team? I didn't remember that.
