Jillian scares me.

A good many dramatic situations begin with screaming.

Now do you understand why she scares? I understand the need to be motivated, but she would make me pee my pants. (Then she'd probably yell at me for that too) I prefer to think of motivation in terms of new clothes, new shoes, a pedicure, a facial, or maybe some nice sparkly jewelry. Don't get me wrong, I love the show and I would kill to have a body like Jillian. I am mesmerized by the contestants' transformation by the end of the season, and you have to agree that one person losing 34 pounds in one week is pretty incredible. The show is almost like a train wreck, you don't want to watch it, but you can't turn away. So I tune in and watch the challenges, the crying, the compassion (Jillian does have her good moments) and the incredible weight losses.

And...if the screaming scares me too much, I change the channel and watch American Idol!
