Alison Sweeney Calls Jillian Michaels Confrontation On ‘The Biggest Loser’ ‘Terrifying’ originally appeared on Parade.
In the new Netflix docuseries Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser, Alison Sweeney spoke about several things that happened on The Biggest Loser that made her uncomfortable.
One moment that stands out, and Sweeney discussed it in depth in the Netflix docuseries, was when she was tasked with calling out trainer Jillian Michaels for supplying her team with caffeine pills to help them win at the weigh-in.
It was Season 15, Episode 3, when Sweeney questioned, “Do you have something you want to say about what’s happened?”

Michaels defended herself, saying, “I stand by my opinion. A caffeine supplement is significantly healthier than unlimited amounts of coffee.”
As that clip played for the docuseries, Sweeney covered her mouth and said, “Oh my gosh, that was terrifying to watch!”
Then, she explained the backstory of how she came in to work earlier that night before the weigh in and production told her about “the situation” with Michaels and the caffeine supplement. When told that she would be the one to call it out, she said, “I was like ‘Wait, what? Me? What?'”
That “rules violation” meant that Michaels’ team was penalized during the weigh-in, with her team receiving a four-pound disadvantage.
