Rachel Frederickson's shocking weight-loss transformation during
Tuesday's (Feb. 4) finale of "The Biggest Loser" was met with alarm by
both the viewing public and onstage trainers
Bob Harper and
Jillian Michaels.
Frederickson's loss of more than 59 percent of her body weight led viewers to question whether the NBC reality show had anyone monitoring the Season 15 contestants' weight loss while they were away from the show. Meanwhile, Harper and Michaels' instant reaction at Frederickson's stunning shrink-down has been forever cemented on film.
Following the finale, both trainers quickly departed the NBC set, not sticking around to answer questions from the press. The following day, the two issued identical statements on their Facebook accounts.
"So here it is," Michaels writes. "Bob and I want to take a moment to congratulate all of the BL contestants on their hard work. We're not comfortable commenting on Rachel's journey because weren't her trainers and weren't given an opportunity to work with her at any point. Any questions about the contestants on the Biggest Loser should be directed to the show's producers."
Harper released the very same statement on his Facebook page.
Frederickson's trainer, Dolvett Quince, has remained silent on social media in the face of the scandal surrounding the shocking weight loss. Zap2it spoke with Quince backstage at the finale, however, where the trainer remained positive about the night's events.
"It's amazing," he says. "That's what the show's built on -- transformation. At the end of the day, we make people who doubt themselves believe in themselves again, so the transformation first has to start with how they perceive themselves and that they even have the strength to even begin to lose weight. So the minute they start on the show, the transformation is cemented. We come to a day like today and you just see these amazing transformations in these people? It gives you hope that anything is possible."
UPDATE: Producers have since released a statement, saying they support Rachel.
Are you surprised that the training team at "The Biggest Loser" hasn't directly addressed Frederickson's weight loss?

'Biggest Loser' trainer Jillian Michaels breaks the rules

Jillian Michaels is once again leaving the Biggest
Loser. But is she quitting because of last season’s winner, Rachel
Frederickson, got way too skinny at the finale? Or is she still upset
about the caffeine pill cheating scandal?
Jillian Michaels is quitting Biggest Loser again, so could the Rachel Frederickson scandal be to blame? The trainer was reportedly turned off by the too-thin controversy surrounding the most recent winner, and now NBC has confirmed the star’s exit.
“After helping hundreds of contestants transform their lives and inspiring millions of viewers at home, The Biggest Loser and Jillian Michaels have decided to part ways and she will not be returning for season 16 when it airs in the fall,” NBC said in a statement.

This is not the first time Jillian Michaels has left The Biggest Loser. She previously exited the series in Season 3, only to come back a year later. She then exited after Season 11 so she could focus on being a mother. Michaels then re-joined the show in Season 14, but it appears her return was short-lived. Her latest departure leaves Bob Harper and Dolvett Quince as the sole trainers on the show.
So why is Jillian Michaels leaving Biggest Loser this time? We think the recent Rachel Frederickson scandal played a big role in her decision. Frederickson made headlines when she appeared shockingly too skinny at the Season 15 finale, where she took home the grand prize for losing the highest percentage of weight. Many, including Michaels, felt the voiceover artist took her diet and exercise too far. Michaels was clearly one of those people, as her and Harper’ shocked reaction to Frederickson’s weight loss (seen below) went viral.

“She wasn’t happy with how last season went,” a source told E! News about Jillian Michaels’ dissatisfaction with Biggest Loser. “The shocking weight loss of Rachel [Frederickson] doesn’t do the brand any favors and she wants to distance her name from it.”
But while the controversy over Rachel Frederickson being too thin may have been the last straw for Jillian Michaels, it sounds like there were other factors that led to her Biggest Loser exit. For starters, the trainer was also reportedly annoyed with her portrayal on the weight-loss series.

“They paint her [Jillian Michaels] to be an a--hole,” a source told Us Weekly. “She’s the only woman trainer, and she gets a bad rap. She’s sick of being painted as the bad guy.”
Perhaps the most stark example of this took place last season, way before the Rachel Frederickson controversy creates waves online. Early in the season, Jillian Michaels was accused of illegally giving her White Team caffeine pills before a weigh-in. When producers found out, they declared that weigh-in invalid and reinstated the contestant who went home that week. It just so happened that the eliminee in question was American Idol winner Ruben Studdard, the most famous competitor of the season. After the scandal, Michaels tweeted that this was all just a ploy to get the popular Studdard back on the show.

We honestly don’t blame Jillian Michaels for leaving Biggest Loser. After all, the Rachel Frederickson scandal did leave a major black eye on the series. And we do think it was a bit too coincidental that the caffeine pill controversy took place the week Studdard was eliminated.
But that doesn’t mean we won’t miss Jillian Michaels’ presence on Biggest Loser. While her screaming did get a bit tiresome, she had a knack for connecting emotionally with contestants. And we enjoyed watching her relationships with both fellow trainer Bob Harper and the various competitors develop over time.
