The Biggest Loser

What Biggest Loser fans will be surprised, maybe even shocked, to find out is that Jillian wasn’t even talking to Alison in that now infamous fight. “It wasn’t Ali I was talking to. I was talking to the producers,” Michaels told Reality TV Magazine. “The producers feed Ali the questions. They tell her what to say…I knew they were setting Brittany up to feel awful. Never in my mind did I think that they would find a way to make it look like I was talking to Alison Sweeney. I was having a conversation with a producer.”

This season has angered Jillian on a number of levels. “I think people need to appreciate that there’s a third player in this game and the third player is production. The producers don’t want to see me win one more time. My team is sort of paying for me,” she vented. “Letting Bob pick his entire team…C’mon, really? I get it and I understand it would be bad TV but at the same time it hurts my contestants. All of the challenges are geared toward the boys. My team is upset more so because they feel as though the rules are being changed at a whim so things will come out a certain way.”

Still, even after explaining the fight, Michaels regrets the way she handled herself in front of production, her team, and America. “I still never should’ve made my point by swearing. It was juvenile, it was vulgar, it was classless. It won’t happen again,” she said.
