I stopped watching this show a long time ago, mainly because of Jillian. Her motives may be good, but I find her to be a big-time bully. I would never respond to her tactics in a positive way. I'd walk away as fast as I could.

Jillian wasn't on the show last season, but they had an equally unpleasant contestant named Conda. They must have chosen Conda to create drama, tension. But with Jillian back on the show, they don't need any unpleasant contestants to create drama. I saw a promo for the next show, and Jillian looked as angry as she always does.
You gotta admit, though--it would have been awesome to see Jillian and Conda go head to head! Much as I don't like Jillian's methods, I do think she has the contestants' best interests at heart. Conda was just bad news all around.
I remember saying I wish Jill was around during that season...to put Conda in her place!!!!

I have to give Jillian credit for realizing when her approach wasn't working and being willing to change. She didn't seem to cop a star attitude when she realized she might be leaving the show; she just tried to do better.
I agree. I was impressed that she changed her method with Danni. And she was worried but it turned out for the best. It does seem Danni is the most self motivated one there. And I think her being the only white team member left will benefit her in the long run....she has to learn to depend on herself and not others and learn to self motivate b/c she has no one to motivate her and vice versa.
Jillian's attitude is an act, Conda's isn't. Conda would have won against Jillian.
DH saw the previews for tonight and is absolutely convinced the whole "Jillian turns nice" situation was scripted from the beginning. I'm not sure--she came back so overly nasty that it stands to reason. However, no way could they have forecast she'd lose all but one of her players.
What do you guys think?
