Jillian Michaels – Our Love For You Remains Strong.

12:22PM Jess McGuire | Am I the only one chomping at the bit to see that buff tigress of a television star Jillian Michaels back on my television screen? I think not. She is to me what Chuck Norris is to bored office workers exchanging passe fads on email – a hero. I was reminded to remind you of my love for The Biggest Loser’s toughest trainer because I just received the following email from an American. It would seem Jillian’s currently on their television screens, which I’ll admit makes me envious – but these words from reader Annie also make me incredibly happy because it sounds like Jillian is as fierce a bitch as she ever was so she should be in fine form by the time she has to make Australian fatties cry and then morph into sexy beasts. And she’s inspired Annie to work out! And even though I don’t know who Annie is, I think that’s awesome! Not sure if you got it but I loved it when Jillian told Renee “I don’t care if you throw up an intestine, keep going”. This quote alone led me to the decision that I really need to get serious about my weight loss and decided to look up Jillian quotes and place them around my house, that is how I found you. Thanks for the help, Annie MY PLEASURE, ANNIE. Defamer Australia wishes you all the best. More »

We Have Met Our Match When It Comes To Earning The (Tough) Love Of Jillian Michaels

11:51AM Jess McGuire | For the last couple of years, we’ve been fairly confident that we are the most devoted of Jillian Michaels fans out there. We blog about her more than we possibly should, considering she’s only really been on Australian television screens this year for a depressing three minutes at best. We started that Facebook group. We imitate her making Shane cry with disturbing regularity on radio. Once we discovered the other day that she is, as we speak, on Australian soil, we actually contemplated contacting our bosses and asking them to cough up the cash for a stalky trip up north to track her down and convince her to make us do push ups and bawl our eyes out, thus making us happier than we could ever fathom being. But Mallory, a recent commenter on Defamer Australia, has quite possibly outdone us. She puts forward a compelling argument as to why she is the number one Jillian Michaels fan on the planet, if not the universe. Jillian is the most amazing, inspirational person that was ever created. Being the fitness guru that i am it’s astonishingly phenominal(yea big words!)to watch jillian do what she does, i look up to her as if she’s God (personally i think she’s better)anyway, everytime i see her i get this feeling in my stomach that i really can’t explain but its the best feeling in the world, it’s almost as if i melt. i can GARUNTEE on my life and my family’s life that i am 100% jillian’s biggest most appreciative fan. I LOVE HER MORE THEN SOME OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS. We believe we may, as the kids like to say, have been “served”. If we find out Mallory is a B.D Wong obsessive, we might as well give up this thing called Idiotic Fandom altogether. More »

We Are Officially Jillian Michaels Devotees

12:13PM Jess McGuire | We have, like many other Australians, been watching the current series of The Biggest Loser. While we are always partial to seeing people with body issues and low self-esteem become totally buffed, the real reason behind our obsessive viewing of the program has more to do with our intense love of Jillian Michaels. We even started the Facebook group “I would be a better person if Jillian from The Biggest Loser was my friend” which you should feel free to join. Here’s the description, which should help explain our need to worship her. Jillian Michaels from The Biggest Loser is a fucking genius. Everything she touches turns to televisual gold. She takes giant unhappy people and turns them into slim, somewhat less unhappy people. Remember when Shane from The Biggest Loser was all sad and shit and unable to do his push ups, and she was right in his face going “Why do you hate yourself soooooo much? You just think you’re fat and useless, don’t you? DON’T YOU? You don’t feel like you DESERVE to be loved because you’re too FAT” until he cried like a baby AND THEN GOT REALLY BUFF AND HAPPY AND FELL IN LOVE WITH HER?! If she was in my life, she would totally sort my shit out. Sure, I might weep a lot at first. Maybe the constant jogging and calorie counting would get on my nerves. Maybe I would have a couple of nightmares where her steely eyes burn into my skin as she spots me hacking away at a tub of Homer Hudson icecream with a tablespoon in the middle of the night. Whatever. Jillian would make me bawl my eyes out, and then look totally hot. That’s all I want from a friend, really. OTHER PEOPLE FROM TELLY WHO WOULD BE GOOD ADDITIONS TO MY LIFE: Jo Frost aka Supernanny (I could do with being put in the naughty corner from time to time), the whip crackin’ Victoria Stilwell from It’s Me Or The Dog (her stern take-no-prisoners approach to dog parenthood would be beneficial to both me and my pup. Also, I find it mildly amusing that Victoria doesn’t actually OWN a dog, according to her Wikipedia page) We love collecting brilliant Jillian quotes (from Sunday’s episode, hollered at a contestant who was struggling with weights – “I didn’t fly you all the way over here to have you bitch about your arms so GOOOOOOOOOO!”) but unfortunately we sporadically have a life and cannot watch every episode. If you hear Jillian say something astounding and inspirational and terrifyingly aggressive to a contestant, please email us and let us know so we can use it for Jillian Michaels’ Inspirational And Somewhat Frightening Quote Of The Week.
