Just a thought, should get alot of OH I WISH responses.

I, for one, fucking hate that bitch. Just something about her face that I just really don't like.

Yea, she's ugly.

I can't agree with the idea she's Ugly

I didn't know who she was so I went to Google and after all the invective heaped upon her I was surprised at what I saw. This is ugly? Maybe she's not Elizabeth Taylor but "ugly"? And why is she a bitch? What am I missing here? Did she do something to anyone here that I'm not aware of?

Jillian Michaels coaches contestants on the weight loss show The Biggest Loser. She is a tough lady who demands the most of the contestants. See http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/ ... n_Michaels for some of her quotes, e.g.: "Unless You Puke, Faint or Die, Keep Going!" She may sound "mean" but in a contest of that magnitude she basically has to bark at the troops the same way a college sports coach would.

I had some truly nasty physical education (PE) coaches in my grade school years. The worst ones were out of shape themselves but had the audacity to bark at us to whip us into shape. I sympathize with a line from Holly the holographic computer in Red Dwarf: "I am Holly, the ship's computer, with an IQ of 6000. The same IQ as 6000 PE teachers." I am sure Jillian's IQ is higher than 1 but I can understand the latent grade school hostility aimed at someone who embodies some of the worst memories of those times.

That said, the contestants chose to appear on that show and viewers choose to watch it, so if you dislike it, refuse to participate.

As an aside, I disagree with her quote about continuing to exercise until you puke, faint, or die. The Crossfit cult has seen a statistically significant number of cases of rhabdomyolysis induced by overtraining. There are far more humane ways of gradually getting into shape though they greatly exceed the time span of a single television season. See Body by Science (BBS) by John Little and Doug McGuff for a program that a person can sustain well into old age in a few minutes per week. Most of a person's weight problem stems from eating too much of the wrong stuff and having too little muscle mass to burn it. A pound of muscle at rest burns 17 times the calories of a pound of fat at rest. Building additional muscle mass through weight training workouts that are brief, intense, and infrequent can build the muscle mass needed to increase basal metabolic rate (BMR). The rest is altering eating habits to replace fat-inducing sugars and simple carbohydrates with energy-inducing foods rich in complex carbohydrates and proteins. See http://www.bodybyscience.net for more on BBS and http://www.myfitnesspal.com for an easy way to monitor food intake.

P.S. I find her quite attractive and very, very sinkable.

I had some of those same teachers in high school some 45 years ago. Since then I became a college-level teacher of the same subject. Through out all the intervening years we have fought a continuous battle against those teacher's kind of approach. We have won some and lost some in that battle but in the main we are winning. There are fewer and fewer moronic PE teachers every year. Within the college ranks we have pretty much won. In many schools, including one I still work with, the students in the exercise science field (usually now called Kinesiology) are now enjoying a very high level of prestige. They are no longer dumb jocks.

I've always found Jillian Michaels to be very attractive and quite sinkable. Women with muscle tone have this sinkable quality to them. In some ways Jillian reminds me of Kristine Lynn, esepcially her face and physique.

As far as her being tough on contestants, sometimes that's what a person needs to get off their butt, work out, maintain the effort, and lose weight... discipline and someone to hold them accountable is sometimes the structured workout that gets a person going, keeps them going, and keeps them honest.

I recall watching the start of one season of, The Biggest Loser, where the teams were wondering who their trainer would be. When one team drew Jillian as their trainer, everyone cheered because they liked her and knew she wouldn't pull any punches when it came to getting them in shape.

I'd like to see Jillian get stuck, struggle, and slowly sink in the same incredibly thick, heavy, sticky mud that Kristine got stuck in during her "White Bra and Panties Sink" scene from, Young Woman, Deep Mud.

Am I the only one around here who thinks her huge mouth and man-jaw make her look like Aerosmith's Steven Tyler?



But hey, if that's your idea of beauty, who am I to judge?

Also, just as a side-opinion, is a whole thread dedicated solely to "Hey guys, wouldn't this one particular chick look hot sinking?" really necessary? Especially if it's just for "Oh I wish" responses. I mean, we all wish a lot of things, man.

Lol never would have made that comparison on my own, but that is spot on! Honestly, body wise she's kinda hot, but personally I don't find these super athletic women that attractive most of the time. Having said that, seeing her in quicksand wouldn't be the worst thing ever.
