I thought I saw something recently that said that Jillian would be back this season instead of Kim Lyons. Mebbe it was Jillian's website?

HOORAY!!! Something new to google - I wonder why. Did they listen to the fanbase - did the contestants complain? Did Jillian's private business not take off like she thought and she approached them? I feel for Kim, but I think Jillian just packed sooo much more credibility having been a former fat person. Kim said early on she knew these people - to keep them from quitting, fear of losing, etc., WRONG. That berating treatment really wasn't needed or effective.

Update: it's on J's website and paying members can access her daily blog about what's going on at the ranch before the show starts.

The NBC website says the new season starts Tues., 9/11 and that there's a reunion show on 9/4.

I know that at some point Jillian had been working on TBL in Australia, I believe. I just felt that Jillian was a better trainer than Kim.

Hi all! Hope you don't mind me hopping on the tail end of this thread. Do you have to be on a particular diet or plan to join the challenges? If not, any estimation on when the next one may be started? Sounds like a really creative and motivating way to buckle down!

You can follow whatever plan you wish. The next round of this challenge will run in conjunction with the show.

Chellez is getting married very shortly and its really too much work for her to run the challenge and try to plan her wedding. Honestly I dont think we will get a very good committment from people judging from the last challenge. the past couple of weeks have not been good. The best thing we can do to get people to stick around for the whole challenge is to do it in conjunction with the show. Keep fired up though...September really isnt that far off! And then its REALLY gonna be on!
