Wikipedia
Jillian Michaels (born 18 February, 1974) is a fitness expert who gained prominence as a trainer on the NBC weight-loss reality series ''The Biggest Loser'' (USA). Michaels was the trainer for the red team until 2006, when she was replaced by Kim Lyons. She returned in 2007 as the black team coach, competing against Kim's red team and Bob Harper's blue team. Kim decided not to return for the spring 2008 season, leaving Jillian as the only female trainer. Along with Bob Harper, Jillian is also a trainer in the Australian version of the show. She began her career in exercise because she was considerably overweight before her teenage years (though not as much as the contestants she whips into shape now). As a young adult, her mother enrolled her in a martial arts class, which was a new beginning for Jillian. Thereafter she dedicated herself to helping the overweight transform their lives and their bodies for the better.

I'd run thru a wall for Jillian and then pick up the pieces and run a 5k...she is the best.
I jsut signed up and there is a chance to get Jillian as your trainer for the day. How cool would that be.
I think Jillians style of training is much more effective then Kim's. I bet Kim gets fired next year they need to mix it up more. Bob Harper is great as well.
Jillian's the best!!! I love her and Bob together, they have a real great chemistry! Personally, I could really care less for Kim. Goodluck and I love all you guys =)
I like Kim on The Biggest Loser! She gives great support, has a rock solid body and is tough just like the other trainers. I think they should keep all 3 trainers on the show.
Go Black team!!
