OK- so I understand why Jackie is shocked at the reaction from the other trainers to her and Rebecca, but I don't think she should take it personally. Here's my take on it- for those of us who don't work at Sky Sport and Spa, it wasn't that long ago that Rebecca was passing around pics of her boyfriend's penis and talking about how her crack is whack- and now she is latching onto Jackie, who is clearly on the rebound, and "considering" a lesbian relationship. I have no problem with the nature of the relationship, but it appears like she is not genuine in her feelings. Rebecca has always struck me as a confused little girl who flits around and does alot of things without thinking about other people. This seems to be a whole lot of the same. I just hope that the persona created by hours of edited footage is different than the real person, if it's not, she's just a manipulative poser fake who got alot of plastic surgery during downtime and everyone should beware.

What is the recipe for Jackie's shake that they talked about during the cooking session? Thanks!

Is anyone as disgusted as I am that this has turned into some lesbian slut fest? I'm gay, but good god. I'm saddened that Doug spent his last days apologizing and attempting to make peace with these idiots. This show needs to be cancelled. Girl licking, drinking, and three push-ups. Help us.

I don't understand people who need to be in a relationship. I guess it's because i'm not like that at all. I know a lot of people who are like that though, they're like needy in a way. Jackie just broke it off with Mimi, and then she goes out with another girl (can't remember her name) whom she previously dated. Why can't she be alone for awhile?
And whoa, Jackie and Rebecca all of a sudden start making out around the corner or in the bathroom, where ever it was - after everybody was on their case about being all over each other. Jackie's a rebel, lol! I want to know that shake recipe as well.

What was THAT?!?
I mean, that episode was trite, boring, and dull. With regard to the Jackie sucking face and weird flirting stuff in the brown chairs - to coin a phrase, "I'm just so SICK of it!"
As for other thoughts:
Laurie seems so sweet. I really like the interaction between her and Doug. And I liked a lot of what he said to her.
It was interesting to watch Tess and Gregg with that knee. She seemed to have fun with him at the end, though she did look upset.
And then there was Gregg and Zen. That was a mismatch made in heaven... or rather, hell. I can't see them together at ALL.
As for Jesse being upset, I actually think he was just saying is authentic feelings about the shock. Imagine that your best friend and boss just shows up one day sucking face with the opposite of anything you've ever known them to be with. Could be weird. And when they said it had been going on for a while, I have to admit I would be more than a little hurt thinking that my best friend was hiding something that important from me. I'd wonder if they thought I wasn't trustworthy.
Well, whatever.
I'll keep watching, Jackie. That's MY addiction.

well according to Jackies blog its been goin on for awhile. I saw some of the ab workout that rebecca had made with jackie and could see the look in jackies eyes. something has gone on for sometime. Jackie made some good points in her blog...but part of me is still a little nervous.
Of course like I can talk...lol. anyway..yeah any chance on that shake recipe? I just wish the best for the both of them and whatever happens...may it go smoothly.

Remember Mimi's reaction to Rebecca in the first episode? Although I could not STAND Mimi, I'm wondering if she didn't pick up on some sort of thing going on between Jackie and Rebecca way back then.

zen my love you let me down.Why couldnt you make the effort to go with greg to court..he needed your support. Greg,why would you even think of showing up to her stand-up routine when she brushed you off...get some balls boy

April 4, 2007 - 07:09 AM
what need are you talking about ?? she is an attractive woman who likes to date . we don;t know the time frame of the whole mimi thing maybe she took a break or more likely she got over it while she was in it. if she wants to date 10 women i don't see the problem. Jackie clearly has issues with herself but dating after being in a traumatic relationship is not in itself indicative of a problem. a person can wait 5 years to date after a relationship that doesn;t mean everything will be A ok. also consider this is a reality show it will be on the boring side if Jackie didn;t have a personal life.
Someone please tell Zen she is not funny. in fact i find her very annoying. even the way she talks - i should have known she was a comedienne she has the corny way of talking that all the whack comics have.
ok so the new Black guy has legal/court issues - great
Personally i don't see an issue with the jackie/rebecca thing . its not corporate america just a small little gym - is rebecca now going to get all the new clients because she is hooking up with Jackie. maybe there will be a little bias but there was already bias for Jesse because he was gay . If need be Jackie can fire all the trainers and get a whole new batch who could care less.
the kissing between the two was on the hot side. Jackie clearly likes weird chics - even the one from two years ago seems to have a weird personality. Mimi was cold as ice, rebecca is a little much in every category.
whas up with Erika - is she on something ??

oh the couple that was at Jackies house for the slumber party was on oprah last year - the Wives confess they are gay show. the dark haired one is kind of hot the other one looks like E.T . but they didn;t say anything on workout but i noticed them . also the fact that Rebecca talked about her boyfriend and his penis last season does not totally invalidate her interest in Jackie as some have suggested. thats silly
lonestar
April 4, 2007 - 07:24 AM
Could Gregg be any dumber? He asks Zen, who is clearly not into him any longer to go with him to court? For support? Kinda weird. Also, he gets angry at her because she tells him to bring a lawyer? He is so ignorant he thinks he is better off going by himself and then lies to her and says his lawyer told him to go alone. Yeah, right. He also hears from Tess that her knee hurts, and so he gives her a strenuous knee exercise? Moron. Find somebody better to replace Doug. And as far as the Jackie and Rebecca thing goes, leave em alone. it would be the worst thing ever for those two attention craving wannabe's. Peeler is creepy by the way. Evening news creepy.

Also, thought Jackie and Rebecca making out was HOT!

April 4, 2007 - 08:03 AM
I don't think it is professional of Jackie to start a relationship with Rebecca the way i see it Jackie is on the rebound and Rebecca seems like she was making the moves i mean she is the one who started off with the little comments so i'm not sure what her angel is does she really have feelings for Jackie? As far as the other employees reactions they seem more friendly than the norm for working relationships so i think if Rebecca and Jackie would have came out and said we have started to have some feelings for each other and we will be persuing a relationship or whatever they are doing that everyone would have been more accepting instead of freaked out. I mean just think one day you guys go out and Rebecca is damn near in Jackie's lap i would have been freaked out to.

I watched most of this episode and was appalled at Jackie's unprofessional behavior when she started slobbering all over one of her employees in front of everyone else -- and at a restaurant, no less. I don't care if she's gay or straight, or if she owns a small business or works in a large corporation. Unless you are trying to encourage jealousy over the boss and invite all sorts of other personnel problems, you take the time to at *least* keep your personal life discreet. If I were out to dinner with my own boss -- still a working dinner no matter how casual and social -- I'd be very uncomfortable if he and one of my coworkers started groping each other. Jackie has the power to hire and fire; now she has signaled that her decisions may well be based on her not-so-good personal radar regarding other people and their motives -- or hers. And she may well have a damn hard time correcting her employees' behavior -- if she cares -- because she has set the bar so low. Really, where does she keep her brains? She's running a business. Keep your personal life at home and your professional life in the office (or gym).

I think Jackie is great! She is sexy and energetic. Thank goodness she got out of that relationship with Mimi. As for what happened last night, wow I am shocked! I think that she needs to remember her focus is on business...and the saying goes "Don't s--t where you eat". Fooling around with Rebecca is a bad idea, cuz if things go sour you have to work with her everyday. Think BUSINESS Jackie!!!! I love the SkyLab idea....keep it going. You have inspired me to eat healthier and dust off the old treadmill..

April 4, 2007 - 09:44 AM
insecure and ugly because i find someone unattractive. yeah ok. Zen was far from funny - it was like an amateur show from the 80's that how bad it was. I hate when people get overly sensitive about things on tv- it shows a low maturity and intelligence level. I happen to find that woman really unattractive - even when i saw her on oprah - she actually looks like ET to me and i happen to think Zen was not funny. big deal.

o well.
ps, shake, please!!!

I think the make out scene between Jackie and Rebecca was totally hot!
I know everyone is upset that Jackie may be acting unprofessional but I think some degree, it was a nice change to see the vulnerable side of Jackie being HUMAN. She did say everything happened so fast that she didn't think about the consequences. Again, I think she was being HUMAN and reacted to what was happening.
As for Rebecca's change of heart: I think being around Jackie and getting to know Jackie really let Rebecca see that she likes Jackie for who she is; Rebecca is not looking at the sex of the person she is attracted to, admired and respects. Come on, look at Jackie: the woman is HOT, ambitious, strong will, charming, sensitive, successful---what person in their right mind (man or woman) wouldn't fall for her??!
Also, the question of why Rebecca: Rebecca is flirty, affectionate, warm, funny, full of energy---these are/were attributes we did not see from Mimi (at least what was edited and aired). I think it was a nice change for Jackie to be around these attributes; I feel that Jackie missed them when she was with Mimi. Again, she was reacting to how good she was feeling, something she probably hadn't felt for a long time.
I can see why Jesse and the other trainers were shocked, though, because it came out of no where for them. Where as, because Rebecca and Jackie have been hanging out, so it was natural for them to progressed and have mixed feelings about each other.
I also would like to know the recipe for that shake. Maybe Jackie can go into another business venture: A cook book with healthy recipes?! :-P Okay, if anyone comes across the recipe, please pass it on. Thanks in advance!
Ooh, can't wait until the next episode!!

Not exactly where to start on this one, but I really don't mean any disrespect but your analysis of the way Gregg was training Tess is totally incorrect, not sure if you ever trained or if you know anything about anatomy or sports rehab but what Gregg was doing was totally correct. You see when your trying to rehab from a knee injury you need a reference point, doing light leg extentions, etc is a way of finding that reference point, I mean it was not like he had her doing squats or something like that. I would have to admit that Gregg could stand to use better form during his own training (curls, etc).

Ok let me go around the horn,
Jackie - I have to say I feel for your situation, breaking up with Mimi I know was hard, but I think you need to focus on your career and forget relationships for now, the relationship will come later if your patient.
Rebecca - Confusing is the only word I can use to describe you. Last season your showing pictures of your boyfirends penis now this season your a "Anne Heche" impression. I know there is such a thing as being "bi-sexual" but I really feel your kind of confused and possibly using Jackie, the next episodes should be interesting.
Zen - kind of disapointed in how you handled Greggs situation of going to court. Your supposed to be the more mature adult and I think you could have talked to him much different, I also feel that your possibly using him for attention. I mean it's obvious he's attracted to you, but I feel your not into him anymore but you like the attention. As far as your comedy goes, I thought it was a good start, curious to see where it will end.
Gregg - Wake up!, Zen is nice but she is not into you anymore, move on. I think you may want to take a look at your exercise form. Although you seem to know what to do, you do not seem to know the proper form when doing it. As you continue to train if you do not correct your form you will eventually have an injury as a result of bad form.
Brian - Love the saying "These are the hands of Michelangelo", it's been good for a couple of laughs. Brian please lighten up a bit, your in California, relax. If you keep up with that attitude you eventually will run into the wrong person and then the "hands of Michelangelo" might get broken!
Andre - You seem very mature and that you know what your doing in the gym, although from last nights episode it came accross as if you had a small problem with homosexuality, I hope not at this point in time.
Erika - Really like your style, wish they would feature you more.
Jessie - Hate to say it, but yes your kind of like the guy on "Will and Grace", a little over the top. I swear it seemed as though when you realized that Jackie had feelings for Rebecca you started to turn green with envy.
Doug - I saved the best for last. I know you passed away. I can honesly say I thought you were the best trainer and has the best personality on the show. Very say to have heard the news, you will be missed.

All I have to say is, Rebecca is obnoxious and annoying. However, it IS possible for someone to be Bi and with how sexual Rebecca is, it's not even surprising. After all, I am Bi. I may be happily married to the greatest man in the world but that doesn't mean I can't be attracted to other women. People CAN fall for the PERSON and just not have a preference as to what gender they are.
When it comes to Doug, I wish he was MY trainer! He's so motivating and nice and unjudgemental... we could use thousands more Dougs in the world. It's such a tragedy that he passed away. He will be sorely missed.
As for Jessie, talk about a drama queen! It was so spiteful when he wrote about Doug in the paper AFTER Doug apologized! I used to like him but now I just feel bad that Doug's last days were spent trying to make amends with such a jerk. He should be ashamed of himself for carrying on the drama and I hope next time there's a misunderstanding he remembers how pointless it is to hold a grudge. Life's too short, and Doug proved that.

I just read this...
Doug Blasdell, a 44-year-old trainer on Bravo's reality series Work Out, unexpectedly died on Monday after being hospitalized over the weekend. (January 20, 2007)
"Doug was “undergoing chemo for a brain tumor — but he was in remission.” She adds that “after New Years … Doug had gone into a coma,” and that was followed by “one inexplicable medical complication after another.”

April 4, 2007 - 07:27 PM
Does anyone else besides me find it in extremely poor taste that Bravo has chosen to use the tragedy of Doug as a teaser? Doug has shown integrity and dignity throughout the show even though taking the high road hasn't always paid off with the other trainers. I really think Bravo missed the mark with this.
inashell
April 4, 2007 - 08:00 PM
I hear ya, ruthie. While I'm glad they included Doug's contributions to this season, I think his impending demise is not something Bravo should use to get viewers to "watch what happens." Doug's death and the trainers' reactions to his death are not things to take lightly. I PRAY Bravo handles this with dignity and sensitivity. Doug was probably the most down to earth, real person on this show. I sure am sorry he's gone.

Jackie and her girlfriend should box.
They are acting like women, not speaking, going to therapists and walking out right now. It's not working because they really want to act like men and settle it by fighting. I'd watch that episode. Could her girlfriend get a wise old boxer to train a million dollar baby for a title fight? What a season finale!! If they get cut up, well, remember "Fight Club" and how being cut up just goes to show you are a man?

Um, kinda funny how people come after you for bashing Zen. You should probably cut her some slack. I read her blog, they gave her two weeks to prep for the show new jokes about the workout crew. Most comedians take months to work out new material. You also watched the show through Bravo's editor's eyes. Which are meant to feature Jackie. So you saw less than two minutes of a ten minute set that was cut and hacked to pieces. You are tough on people because they have low intelligence so I am sure you thought about all of this before you wrote your piece, no?

I am so glad Jackie finally wised up and got rid of Mimi.Watching those two together was like sticking pins in your eye.It was painful.They don't say where Mimi went.Maybe someone muzzled her and sent her to obedience school.There are plenty of lesbian women with class and manners out there.No need to stay with someone who bites like a rabid dog and throws drinks in your face.
Rebecca is not going to last.But who cares I like her better than Mimi for sure.She is at least sexy and fun.Mimi had that irrational jealousy always going on.She probably accused Jackie of banging every woman she met.How stupid is that?

Okay, not sure I want to eat something like that for breakfast but what the hell, it looks good! NOT! It tastes like CRAP!!!!!! I'm all gung [censored] for getting healthy thanks to the show but I think I'm gonna try different shake recipes or just eat Special K in the morning. JACKIE'S SHAKE IS GROSS!!!!!

I don't think Gregg is an idiot nor a moron just because he is naive about the law! In reference to his exercise advice for Tess he was correct, I had knee surgery for ACL, PCL tear and that is exactly what they have you do for therapy. Push pass the pain, but I guess that's why he is a trainer and we are not!
