Jackie needs to get a grip. At the restaurant she was making out with her girlfriend at the dinner table. Come on Jackie, show some class. People with class don't do things like that at the dinner table. It was making everyone there feel uncomfortable. Jackie seems to always need to be the center of attention, I think it was obvious that Jackie was trying to make Rebecca jealous. If she's so over Rebecca like she claims, then why is she trying to make her jealous? Jackie wants her workers to respect her but her actions are immature and petty. And Rebecca, why does she continue to buy into all of Jackies mean and petty ways of trying to make her jealous? Rebecca, you don't need that. Move on with your life. Jackie also treats Brian so mean. If she dislikes him so much she should just get rid of him. I don't think I could ever work for someone like her. Life's too short.

Jackie Warner is looking more like a douchbag this season. The show has lost it's positive energy, and magic. I don't see it returning, and Jackie will be lucky that this doesn't effect her business in a negative manner.

Hey Jackie,
Is your show called WORKOUT or MAKEOUT?
Less about you and more about the fitness business would be nice.
It's getting to be the some old - same old. BORING!
Just sayin'

I could not agree with your full assessment more! After watching the first two episodes of Season 3, I thought maybe it was just me, but from what I'm reading, it's not. It seems to me that Jackie's newfound "fame" has gone straight to her head! But, the trainers aren't exactly blameless either. If my boss were to treat me in the manner that Jackie has treated both Brian and Rebecca thus far just in these 2 first episodes, I would have walked. I think Jackie needs to step back and re-asses the way she treats people. I do believe in she continues on with her current attitude, it may negatively affect not only her personal and business lives, but the lives of those who are going to her gym, and specifically the Skylab clients, negatively.
Thanks for sharing your views and opinions! Keep 'em coming!

Jackie, Get a room already. At Jesse's cookout she and Brianna looked like two school girls. You could tell that it made everyone uncomfortable :o .I'm from the Outer Banks of NC. about 5 hours from where Peeler is from. I think that he is going to get fired because he isn't lised on the Sky Sport Website as a trainer anymore. I think that he should have been apart of that meeting with Don Scott, even he said so. He doesn't need Jackie, I hope that he comes back to the great Tarheel state and Bravo needs to give him his own show B) . Jackie needs to pull up some of her estrogen and let go of all of that testosterone :wacko: !

I think Jackie's behaviour this season is awful. I think Rebecca really just wants her friendship. Everyone else seems fine with Rebecca & thinks she's a fun girl (exception of Jesse & Agostina- which I'll address). Remember it wasn't just Rebecca's boot camp, but Erika's also. Erika was visibly & verbally upset. Jackie didn't pick on her though.
When I read Agostina's blog, I was quite shocked. She seemed friendly enough with Rebecca on myspace. I know that they drank too much (and we hardly see Rebecca drink -- I think she gave it up last season for a while to lose weight).
Well Ms. Agostina said her bootcamp didn't get "interrupted" like she's all that. Well, her bootcamp didn't make it to TV. And personally, I do not think she has a "booty from the Gods" -- I think it's BIG. Given the fact she's from South America, I suppose it's more accepted in that culture -- They actuall get "butt implants" in Argentina. Her attack on Rebecca & Renessa seemed very hurtful. They were good enough sports to play those lesbian games. Erika, Agostina, and more important, Jackie just watched. Since it was "Jackie's cruise" (how many time were we told that) and that everyone was there to see her -- she should've been playing those games - IMO.
I really feel for Brian. Yes he can be arrogant at times. But he IS a good trainer. You always here his clients saying that he gives them a good workout.
Jackie is becoming extremely narcisstic - and it AIN'T pretty.

I thought is very rude making a snide remark about the woman at the casino on the lesbian cruise that was standing in between her and Rebecca, when Rebecca made the remark about the two looking alike.
Jackie needs to check the mirror again.
She can have her own opinion like most people about how someone looks, whether they're pretty or ugly but to do it on National TV was beyond rude.
She's turned into a real jacka$$!

I could not agree more with everyone's comments about Jackie's behavior this season. I think the way she treats her other trainers (and the way she talks about them on camera) is condescending, inconsistent and rude. She has become arrogant and she constantly judges everyone else-- Erika trusted Jackie enough to share her personal feelings and struggles with her and Jackie turned around and said she was "crying like a seven year old" to the camera. Rebecca was upset that Jackie assigned her the responsibility of teaching a boot camp and then interrupted it for no reason, saying "i can do whatever i want. I'm the boss." When Rebecca told Jackie how she felt undermined, Jackie told her to grow up and relax. Peeler wants to be a part of planning an event in honor of Doug, his deceased best friend. Rather than coming together to honor Doug's memory Jackie is allowing her personal feelings about Peeler to get in the way and is pulling the "I'm the boss" card to cut him out of the event. That is really deplorable. Jackie treats her trainers like her friends when it suits her, she uses them as girl toys and playthings when she wants action, and then she pulls rank and treats them like brain-dead employees when she's on a power trip. Clearly, she is a terrible leader and she is setting a terrible example. A good leader or boss knows that they must earn the respect of their employees by first showing respect to them-- giving them advice without being condesending, giving them praise when they succeed, giving them the room to grow, and making them feel like a valued member of the team.
Not only does Jackie act questionably around her employees but she is CLEARLY a horrible, untrustworthy girlfriend. How many times has shen been caught cheating on camera? That not only looks bad for her, but it gives a bad impression of the lesbian community. Because we are still a community that faces daily discrimination and homophobia and we are in the middle of the gay marriage battle and because there are so few lesbians in prominent, public positions, middle America's limited exposure to lesbians (like Jackie) is very important in forming their opinions about the entire community. Because Jackie chose to be a public figure and because she chose to talk about her lesbian identity and relationships so openly, she needs to uphold the responsibility that comes with that position. If she were Jo Shmo living her life off-camera, she could do whatever the hell she pleased and it would be of little consequence. However, as a TV personality she is introducing middle America to what its like to be a lesbian-- and she's giving them a pretty horrible picture. I would be absolutely ashamed if I lived my life and treated my colleagues and girlfriend the way she treats hers.
Someone needs to tell Jackie that she's simply not that special. She's not that cute and she's not that nice-- she comes across as an arrogant, self-righteous, unfaithful, condescending boss who cares more about her ego than the memory of a deceased friend. Unfortunately, the lesbian community is left in search of a woman worth putting forward as an example of who we are and what we're about.

Fitness?! Jackie and her trainers seem to think it's OK and even recommended to push obese clients to the point of throwing up, tears and emotional breakdowns. What qualified trainer would witness these results of their regimen and think, "Gee I'm doing a great job"? My doctor and trainers have me on a moderate program that does NOT strain the heart or joints to the extreme, and I've lost 12 pounds in 2 months. (without tears, breakdowns or a trip to the john)
I suggest the Sky Fitness crew put on "Fat Suits" or at least back packs weighing 50-100 pounds. Now do your work out; the boot camp; run up and down the stairs; run on the beach; crank that treadmill up to level 15 incline. I wonder who will cry first? Who will go into cardiac arrest? Who will look in the mirror and scream when they see how red thier face is?
I think SkyLab should be shut down for endangering the lives of their clients while primping in the mirrors and gossiping about trashy affairs.

Has anyone else really listened to Jackie? When she talks about getting women. I just realized it this season. Jackie is a sexual predator. She plainly stated last week that to herself she thinks every woman in L.A. is a drink away from sleeping with her. I started catching little quotes she said last year. But this year I really saw the worst in her. If it was a man saying what she says about women he would be labelled a sexual predator. Bottom line is this show has now lost me as a viewer unless they start makking it without SkySport. I mean she never understood last year why trainers though it was wrong of her to be with Rebecca. She stated other trainers had been together as her reason it was ok. But that was very different especially because she makes it a very clear point that she is their boss. So for her to date Rebecca then openly throw it in everyones face was wrong for her as an employer. I can't wait for the day one of the employees files charges against her. Because that is obviously what it is going to take for her to act like an employer.

She needs to remember that all the people she passed on the way up the ladder, are the people she'll see on the way back down if she doesn't start learning to respect her employees.

Jackie is just out of control this season. She has gotten WAY full of herself; full of her "celebrity". All she can talk about is professionalism and respect, yet she is the EPITOMY of unprofessional and disrespectful. Peeler had EVERY RIGHT to talk to Jackie about a horrible comment being made about his client, whether Jackie made it or not. The comment was made in her presence, in HER gym (which she likes to remind people constantly). I'm about done with this season. If I had to work for someone like that, I'd hurl myself off a cliff. Get over yourself, Jackie!

Last season I was so impressed by Jackie. She is a strong independent woman who is building a very successful business. This season however, I am so disappointed in her. I have never seen someone change so much. She is rude, disrespectful and extremely arrogant.
She needs to realize that the trainers are part of what helps make her business so successful. She disrespects them in front of clients and each other yet demands respect from them.
She made fun of a client and lied that she didn't when confronted. Jackie needs to take responsibility for her mistakes, apologize and set the example for her clients.

Didn't really bother me until her and the worthless assistant talked about one of the clients no matter if she is a cancer surviver or not she as the boss shouldn't be talking about any of the clients since she seems to be so hard pressed with the proffessional aspect of the gym. Shes good with the clients but shes just seems really fake this season with everybody including the trainers. And wait till ur girlfriend watches the cruise.

I totally agree. It was amazingly unprofessional and disrespectful for Jackie and Lisa to be making derogatory remarks about any client's breasts, and clearly they were doing it as part of a childish and malicious attitude towards Peeler.
The woman happened to be a breast cancer survivor. Jackie brushed it off with a casual apology, like "So what?", and then was completely defensive and disrespectful to Peeler when he quite appropriately tried to discuss it with her the next day. Imagine what kind of a professional he would be if he didn't address the situation with her.
Her behavior over the whole situation is disgusting. She was the one bristling with hostility over a situation where she was completely at fault. Clearly she doesn't have enough integrity to admit when she is dead wrong. As she is, in this case.
What a complete lack of character on her part.

I totally agree with you. Jackie was wrong on that "take over" on the boot camp (I woulda been so mad about it I would have said "take it" and left if I were Erika or Rebecca). And her "Mayor of Excuses Village" issue over Lisa forgets a couple things. One -- that is HER ASSISTANT. If she isn't responsible for her own direct help, who is? Next, if Lisa had said that about someone else's client, or if Brian had said that about Jackie's client, gee what woulda happened? I like what someone else said about bias -- that if you react differently when the gender of characters are flipped, then you got bias.
Well, I detect bias. A man would never been allowed to be "catty" like that. It was thoughtless and frankly if it had been a different trainer's client, I wonder if it shoulda been Lisa who lost her job for being UNPROFESSIONAL, not Peeler.

I agree with everyone, this season, Jackie has gone overboard with her unprofessionalism. I am starting to think that this show is scripted because since the first season ALL trainers had sufficient reason enough to sue her for sexual harrassment. And that hossie tramp she brought in as a secretary or office manager whatever she calls herself, is the number one trouble maker. What is she doing on the show anyway?
It is true that this is Jackie's show, and her gym, but boundaries have to be placed and if she wants the trainers to respect her, she needs to give that respect back also. You cannot expect your employees to respect you and take them to dinner, and almost have sex on the table in front of them. She is not even looking good anymore, she does not look good with long hair, her face is breaking out, her clothes are horrible and the show is all about Jackie and her ten girlfriends, instead of zooming in on the benefits of fitness. Peeler will be missed!!

I think Jackie is the most unprofessial person in the world. She allowed her employee to gossip negatively about a client in HER GYM. She is just as guilty of disrepecting a gym client, not to mention a cancer survivor, as that brown-nosing secretary. I understand Peeler's anger and I wish him the best his future. I wonder if Jackie talks about her over weight clients with her employees like this, I would never want to work out with someone who allows this kind of disrepect infront of her.

May 6, 2008 - 10:21 PM
Jackie has truly made me reconsider why I watch this show. She used to be someone who I felt persevered and through it all became a confident successful woman. Instead, I am now seeing an insecure, cruel, deceitful person who feels people are her pawns that with whom she can "play". She is not loyal to her friends or her girlfriend, much less her team. Most of all, I am disappointed that as a leader, she has failed to rise to the occasion. She allows personal situations to cloud her judgement, and unfortunately this time she blew it. Whether she likes Peeler or not is NOT the issue. The fact that she dismisses him instead of leading him shows her frailty and negligence as an effective leader. And the fact that she places all trust on her Director who is obviously immature shows her lack of judgement.
It's an embarrassment to women that Jackie represents a "strong" leader. No wonder women continue to have to fight for approval in the work force. Jackie - you were wrong to not listen to Peeler. You allowed an employee to ridicule a client unprofessionally - and a cancer survivor at that! How embarrassing for you. And when he came in to speak to you, you wouldn't event let him speak. It just proved that you knew you were wrong. You were foolish to lay your trust in your Director - she is obviously too immature to manage the office - she prefers gossip instead. I hope you reconsider your decision and pay attention to your motives. You are lacking good judgement. Not worth it just to get a TV show. I hope you give me reason to watch your show again.

I so agree with this. You know if Peeler was to make a comment like that of one of her clients she would call him out right there in front of the cameras. This season is about who she can kiss. This show is no longer about working out and bringing people up. It's about Jackie and her wanna be player ways. She is so fake and I have lost disrespect for her. I use to admire her business sense and her professionalism. I actually side with Peeler!

Completely agree with everyone's comments. I'm horrified by Jackie's disrespect to clients and trainers. She is divisive and an ego-maniac, certainly not a leader by any stretch of the imagination. Peeler was acting responsibly by addressing what occured with his client. Jackie was just looking for an opportunity to turn the tables and characterize the situation as an act of insubordination. How ridiculous... she tolerated Lisa's comments when made, which in my opinion equates to agreement - Brian did the right thing by bringing his concerns forward. Had she been anyone elses client (other than Peeler's) Lisa and Jackie wouldn't have been huddled in her office gossiping. Their sophmoric behavior is embarrasing. Perhaps it is difficult to find employment in the fitness arena in LA - or perhaps the trainers like to be on camera......... in any case, if I worked there, I would have walked.

I have to say that I am very appalled by the episode of Workout that I just watched. Jackie is the one who was disrespectful not Peeler. Even though she did not say the hurtful comments about Peeler's client, she was still present and appeared to go along with what Lisa said. Peeler had every right to ask her about what was said. It is wrong to talk about anyone like that. Especially someone who is coming to you for training and guidance. Jackie wants everyone to believe that she is there to provide love and support to her clients. I think she is just there to make money. I used to think that this show was really great. Now I think it sucks. I am a breast cancer survivor myself. I watched Workout when I was going through chemotherapy. The show used to be a bright spot in a very dark time in my life. Now I don't think that I will ever watch it again. Shame on you Jackie. People look up to you as a mentor. You should apologize to Jamie and to Peeler.

I'm really disappointed in Jackie and how she handled Brian Peeler. I'm not a fan of his personality, as a boss myself, and as someone who thinks this world is in desperate need of open minded individuals, I'm exhausted by Jackie's hypocrisy, childeshness, and lack of seeing the value in people. It gets me really angry when I see people who have such weak characters make it to such heights as Jackie did and not have a inch of thankfulness to show for it. I'm content to say that I've witnessed some really impressive individuals on my ride through life and I'm disappointed to say that I ever thought Jackie was one such person. I'm done watching the show. To the trainers, please do the right thing and find your own way. If you stay with Jackie, that's fine, u gotta do what u gotta do in life. But if she really is as she depicted herself in the last show, watch urself b/c u might be on your way to confirming yourself as a fullfledged underling with her banking on your talents to get herself ahead. Wow, what a dissapointment, short of the O'Rielly factor, as TV show has never annoyed me this much. Good luck with life Jackie, if I ever have anything to do with you in the future, u can bet ur gonna have to shape up more than your abs to deal with me or my people.

WOW! Never have I had such a strong *negative* reaction to a reality show. I was truly disgusted by Jackie's behavior this evening. Hell, I even felt the need to create an account on BRAVO!
Jackie's clearly the immature one that has something against Peeler. You could tell from the moment he walked into her office that she was looking to pick a fight with him. She easily excuses her unprofessional assistant's behavior but swears Peeler's just sooo disrespectful because he's taking a little too long to grieve over his friend's death. Perhaps she should lay off the cruises and and take a few courses in business management. You should know how to treat your employees fairly and not just the one's you're buddy buddy with (or pretend to be); like your gossipy assistant. If anyone else in the business world behaved like her glorified receptionist, they would be fired. Constantly eavesdropping, feeling the need to insult clients because of her own insecurities, and forever running her mouth. Does she even work? And if it looks as though anyone is in constant need of attention it's Jackie, not Peeler. What's she trying to prove? It's her company, she has power, we get it; but geez, have some class and stop acting like a child. I can see nearly everyone here agrees.
I am no longer a fan of the show, nor would I ever consider buying any of her gear or products. I think the show should continue...without Jackie. Thank goodness the show wasn't named after her gym. Keep your chin up, Peeler!

I have never posted any comments on a message board before - but I felt compelled to get out of bed, go to the computer, register, wait for my comfirmation and log in - all because I was so angered by the show tonight -
Jackie should be ashamed and completely embarrased and humbled, her office manager is nothing more than a gossip and somone to stir the pot - who is going to be the object of her tales next week - soon there will be no staff to control
she should of been a respectful owner and business woman and apologized to Peeler for interupting his session and then making awful comments about his client - JACKIE - you may not of said her breasts looked wrong, but you did have a few words to say....
And why lie to Rebecca and Erika with what happened, your tape speaks volumes
You should be ashamed and I hope next season they replace "work out" with "Peelerbuilt"

As a big fan from the beginning of this show, I am disgusted by Jackie's behavior. My best friend just had a mastecomy and I would never wish her to hear those kind of comments. Jackie and Lisa were so unprofessional. I am embarrassed that I ever was a fan. I hope her behavior costs her the things she seems to now find more important than the clients. I hope breast cancer survivors and their families call for her immediate cancellation. She is deplorable. I sent an email to her gym to tell her.

WOW. Tonight's episode was the icing on the cake. Jackie has become extremely disrespectful, unprofessional, and crass. Her new side-kick Lisa rubs me the wrong way too. As the office manager Lisa should have known that it is not appropriate or professional to make juvenile comments about any client with the office door wide open. Jackie should have reprimanded Lisa, but, instead defended her and the entire incident. Had it not been Peeler's client than Jackie would have handled it differently. Jackie has really shown an unflattering side of herself this season. Each show this season has revealed a more narcissistic side of her and she has become unpleasant to watch. Rebecca is a glutton for punishment and Jackie loves to bully her and act as though she has no idea why Rebecca is acting the way she does. That's why Jackie repeatedly dates women much younger than her...not just because she can...a woman her own age probably isn't going to put up with the passive-aggressive games. I used to be a big fan of the show but as someone who has had several family members affected by cancer, tonight's episode may be the last one I watch. So much for Jackie being a self proclaimed role model.

I HAVE NEVER POSTED ON A BLOG BEFORE BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO WITH ANY SHOW..BUT AFTER SEEING THIS PAST EPISODE OF WORKOUT I COULD NOT REGISTER FAST ENOUGH. I AM FROM CHARLOTTE, NC AND BRIAN PEELER IS FROM THIS AREA. I AM APPALLED AT HOW MS. WARNER TREATED HIM. I ALSO REALLY ENJOYED THIS SHOW LAST SEASON AND FELT LIKE MS. WARNER HAD GOOD CHARACTER, ETHICS, AND WAS MAKING HER WAY AND I WAS PROUD THAT A FELLOW WOMAN CHOSE TO HANDLE HERSELF SO PROFESSIONALLY. I AM SICK TO MY STOMACH WHEN I WATCH HER THIS SEASON, AND WHEN SHE FIRED BRIAN, I WANTED TO KNOCK HER HEAD OFF AS WELL. SHE IS NOT A LADY IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM AND THE GAY COMMUNITY SHOULD BE VERY OFFENDED THAT SUCH A CHARACTER ON NATIONAL TELEVISION IS REPRESENTING THEIR CULTURE. I TOO AGREE THAT FAME HAS MOST DEFINATELY GONE TO HER HEAD. THE ONLY REASON I WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT BRAVO IN THE 10 O'CLOCK HOUR IS TO ONLY SEE THE TRAINERS START THE DEMISE OF HER "BUSINESS". I FEEL MOST CERTAIN THAT AFTER THIS SEASON, MS. WARNER'S BUSINESS, PROFESSIONAL, AND PERSONAL LIFE WILL BE GREATLY AFFECTED BY HER ACTIONS.
I WISH BRIAN PEELER THE BEST AND YOU ARE LOVED HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA! YOU HAD EVERY RIGHT TO WALK OUT OF THERE, AND YOU DID SO WHERE YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE SUPPORT FROM YOUR VIEWERS.
BRAVO TV---I ASSUME THIS EPISODE WAS PRESENTED IN A WAY THAT WAS TRUE TO THE ACTUAL EVENTS THAT OCCURED AT MS. WARNER'S PLACE OF BUSINESS. I APPLAUD YOUR EFFORTS TO SHOW US THE TRUE COLORS OF MS. WARNER AND HER BEHAVIOR, AND NOT TO REFLECT HER IN A LIGHT THAT MIGHT BE FAVORABLE.

Let's not speculate about which trainers are leaving next, it's more worthwhile to assume that its the viewer's that will be leaving in hordes. Count me in.
I'm one who is now out too. I couldn't wait to get away from that type of childish behavior when I graduated from high school. I don't need to voluntarily waste an evening tuning in to the adult version of a stuck on herself queen of the cool kids and her catty back stabbing weasle assistant. I hope this is a badly scripted attempt at reality TV because it's sad to think professionals really behave that way. In any case this show has nothing to do with health and fitness. I can't even stay interested enough to tune in to see how the boot campers fair anymore.
After following two seasons, I have watched my last episode.

I totally agree. I could not have registered fast enough. I am totally appalled by Jackie's VERY DISTURBING behavior. I cannot believe she has done nothing to Lisa the Managing Director for the remarks made about a Breast Cancer survivor. What is going on with this show this season. I feel like it is more about Jackie and her latest fling than the shows original intent. I know that if the show continues on this path, if I even continue after tonights episode, I myself will boycott and I feel others should and will follow. I still cannot believe that a women was so insensitive towards the comments made by a Management member towards a client.
JACKIE GET A GRIP OR GET OUT!!!!!!!
I will not be surprised if there is not substantial fallout from this episode.

Jackie has absolutely lost her mind!!! How in the hell can you fire Peeler for defending his client, regardless if he was a jackass, and not do a DAMN THING to Lisa???? She's the one who made that horrible, insensitive comment in the first place.
Jackie owed Peeler a professional apology. Should could have still flexed her "boss muscle" and laid down the law with Peeler about a lot of things. As the boss, she is supposed to rise to the professional level, not continue to play her "boss card" to the max.
Jackie has made the whole thing with Peeler PERSONAL and not professional. If you want to fire him, fire him for job performance, not personal feelings. She was waiting for this moment to use to her advantage and she did.
Get the hell off your high horse Jackie Warner ... no one likes you there ... no one wants you there.

Ditto---I set up an account to respond and I've never done it based on an episode---Lisa is a gossip and didn't report the conversation between Peeler and the gentleman---the guy expected Peeler to be a part of the charity---But making insensitive and ugly comments is why women get a bad reputation---regardless if Jackie made the comment or not, as a professional and leader, she should have chastised Lisa for making them!
Besides, the amount of sexual harrassment and discriminatory practice Jackie shows against men, non-gays, etc. is sickening---her favoritism for those who cowtow to her is ridiculous.

WOW! Never have I had such a strong *negative* reaction to a reality show. I was truly disgusted by Jackie's behavior this evening. Hell, I even felt the need to create an account on BRAVO!
Jackie's clearly the immature one that has something against Peeler. You could tell from the moment he walked into her office that she was looking to pick a fight with him. She easily excuses her unprofessional assistant's behavior but swears Peeler's just sooo disrespectful because he's taking a little too long to grieve over his friend's death. Perhaps she should lay off the cruises and and take a few courses in business management. You should know how to treat your employees fairly and not just the one's you're buddy buddy with (or pretend to be); like your gossipy assistant. If anyone else in the business world behaved like her glorified receptionist, they would be fired. Constantly eavesdropping, feeling the need to insult clients because of her own insecurities, and forever running her mouth. Does she even work? And if it looks as though anyone is in constant need of attention it's Jackie, not Peeler. What's she trying to prove? It's her company, she has power, we get it; but geez, have some class and stop acting like a child. I can see nearly everyone here agrees.
I am no longer a fan of the show, nor would I ever consider buying any of her gear or products. I think the show should continue...without Jackie. Thank goodness the show wasn't named after her gym. Keep your chin up, Peeler!
