"Work Out" Recaps: Episode 202

I'm single. Pass it on — Jackie reminds everyone in a big announcement that she's single. Subtle. Her new motto is: "No drama. No hardship. No promises." No drama. Right. That's like Paris Hilton saying, "No cameras."

A tall woman with frizzy hair picks up on Jackie's announcement. Jackie's friends think she's wearing too much makeup and her hair is weird. She's also got breast implants, for sure. Ever feel breast implants? They're hard. Boob job is hanging all over Jackie.

But hey, Jackie's not looking for a love connection. When she's drinking, Jackie will flirt with anything with a uterus.

Clearing the air — Doug and Jesse haven't talked to each other all night. Finally, Jesse asks Doug to go out back with him to talk. Doug suddenly doesn't want to, even though he's been more upset about their tiff all along.

Jesse persists, and he and Doug finally sit down to talk. Jesse apologizes (finally) and wants to go back to how things were. Doug says he's sorry too. Doug looks like he's going to cry. Again.

Jesse: Don't cry. Don't cry on my behalf.
Doug: Wanna go home with me?
Jesse: No.
Doug: I'm flirting with you. C'mon. I'm just joking, jeez.
Jesse: No.
Doug: OK, wait. Are you a top or a bottom?

Doug is a little weird.

Meanwhile, back in the house, Jackie is complaining she needs a spotter to help her with her workouts. Brian offers for Jackie to "come on over to Peelerville." Jackie rolls her eyes and says she'd rather train with a "real" body builder. The gauntlet has been thrown.

Brian: What's your body going to be when it grows up?

The group gasps.

Jackie: [to everyone] No, it's OK. I've like only built my whole empire and hired you [pointing to Brian] on my body.

Ooh. Snap.

Jackie: You're basically riding on my f---ing abs.
Brian: My talent has nothing to do with your body.
Jackie: Your job has to do with my abs.

Why don't you two just whip 'em out? I'll get a tape measure.

Brian drags poor Andre outside to listen to his anti-Jackie rant. It looks like they're standing by the garbage cans. Brian goes off on how he doesn't need Jackie to make him or break him. But the real reason he's fuming is that she belittled him in front of strangers.

Brian: Don't make me look like a fool. I'm brilliant. I know what I do. It's like I always say, "These hands are like the hands of Michelangelo." And the f---ing work. They can make a masterpiece out of everything they f---ing touch.

Andre keeps looking for a way out, but he's blocked by a fence. The area is too small for Brian and his ego.

Brian works himself into such a froth that he walks out of the party. Mr. Sensitive, Doug, tries to get Brian to come back into the house, but Brian keeps walking down the street and disappears around the corner.

Back inside, Jackie's flirting with Rebecca in full view of the other trainers, because there isn't enough drama at the gym.

Jackie keeps saying she doesn't see Rebecca "that way," but she says it as she wraps her arms around her. Jackie's also fond of lifting Rebecca up off the floor every now and then. Rebecca rests her head in the cozy spot under Jackie's neck. Zen and Andre look scandalized.

Jackie has her arms completely enveloping Rebecca when she says she wouldn't dream of "it" because Rebecca works for her, and she's a good girl. Jackie's friend adds, "And she's straight."

Oh yeah. There's that too, huh? These two are so going to hook up. If it's the worst possible choice, Jackie will make it.

Next week on Work Out: A bunch of stuff happens, I think. All I can see is Jackie making out with Rebecca. Oh, my eyes.

Jackie and Rebecca

I don't expect anything meaningful or long lasting to happen, but damn....those two are hot together!

Please tell me I'm not the

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks Rebecca only became interested in Jackie because she found out that Jackie's pretty famous?  Rebecca is a human poodle -- cute, high maintenance and always barking for attention.  Another thing for Jackie to show to everyone and say:  Look what I've got.  Aside from that whole "she's straight" thing, they would seem to be perfect for each other.   

Absolutely outstanding recap.  So much fun to read that I did it twice and laughed just as much, if not more, the second time through.

amazing race

clearly you've missed Rebecca on Amazing Race a couple years ago. Rebecca is no Poodle. She is infact a strong independent woman. Remember reality shows usually only show one side of a person. -Nathiest

Actually, I didn't miss

Actually, I didn't miss it. It was a horrible season. As I recall she spent most of the time screaming and fuming while dragging and prodding that whiny ex-boyfriend, the really passive guy with the weird horn-like pigtails some dubbed Hellboy, around trying to motivate him to cowboy up and compete.  They spent most of the season coming in last, or almost last.  They made it to the top 3, but it was more a case of other teams self-destructing than them stepping up. Of all the teams that year, they were the only one I even remotely liked. 

I remember her being cute, uber-aggressive and always making noise and pouting when she didn't get her way, pretty much like she is on this series.

Finally!

Rebecca had a thing for Jackie from the beginning. From what I have seen they will be good for each other, but the big problem is Rebecca is still an employee of Skysports. Jackie's empire. How is Jackie going to place this one! And who cares what the other trainers think.

I admit

I think that Rebecca is totally hot. Neither one of them look like they are yearning for a Uhaul and a few more little doggies.

I say go for it. It would be hot!

OY

i am not rooting for rebecca and jackie....i dated a straight girl once, because we did fall for each other, but....she would always talk about missing penis and stuff.....i guess me being against jackie and rebecca just brings back memories of a not so great relationship....eh

Nathiest's picture

uhaul on a second date

From what I gather from both Jackie's and Rebecca's myspace pages's the two are living together and are still going strong. though Jackie has herself listed as a single and Rebecca herself is listed as in a relationship so who knows 4sure?... -Nathiest
-rada-'s picture

WHAT!?!?

They're living together now?!....Jackie sure does pick the best girlfriends! </sarcasm>

I think so too. I think they're both playing a little. No deep feelings. I just can't see it.

Rebecca is too much into penises, as she said herself last season and Jackie has her mind on her new business venture and not on working on another serious relationship. At least that's what I think.

bwahh!

"Rebecca's ego is hurt. Straight girls may not want to sleep with you, but they get five kinds of insulted if you don't want to sleep with them. Am I right?"

so true!

it's weird. i don't get it. but so true

MSFT3000 has nothing on you! The recaps are better than the show, which is as it should be.

Now that I have had some sleep...

Alright, I was watching this late last night doing crunches (I know, I know).  This morning I woke up and read the recap again. Here are some more thoughts...

Bad machine, Once again you rock my socks. Is there anyway that you can do a podcast of Work Out? I think it would be a great addition.

As for the hooking up, who knows why things start. If it is a real relationship ( becuase we can't belive everything we see on T.V.) then I wish them luck and lots of hot nookie :-)

As for "Straight girls may not want to sleep with you, but they get five kinds of insulted if you don't want to sleep with them."  You are soooo right on! I hate when that happens!

I might not like peeler very much, but Jackie didn't have to go there. You don't envite someone to your house with a bunch of people that you don't know and talk smack. I agree with Bad, they should have just whipped them out or pee'd for distance so that they can settle the argument once and for all.

I'm sooooo glad this is on now that the L word is done for the season. I just LOVE me some lesbian drama.

I also hope that the trainers are able to help the new clients. I recently went from 225lbs to 155lbs and I know how hard it is to stay motivated and stay on task.

Ta Ta for now!!

..."but they get five kinds

..."but they get five kinds of insulted if you don't want to sleep with them." So horribly true! I have a straight friend, let's call her Sylvia because that's her name, who has been like this for YEARS! The hell with years, decades. It's all, what's wrong with me, why aren't you attracted to me BS. Uh, straight much?

LOL.....!

Jennifer "let's call her Sylvia because that's her name"

 You go girl, tell the world!

Oh West Hollywood, Mimi

*Down West Hollywood LA Mimi came-a-walking.* It was her, yes it was her, and no I didn't realize until she was down the street. (Little me going to a gay club for the first time in LA.) I didn't have my camera so my paparazzi self failed me. I would have loved it to be anyone else from the "Work Out" cast who's not crazy, but what can I say I was star-struck non-the-less. I'm guessing she won't be in it this season? Well, I like Rebecca even though I just think she unconsciously sees Jackie as a challenge and wants to climb to those heights. We'll see.

Jackie/Rebecca

Jackie does list herself as single on the myspace but it's clear as day that her and Rebecca are dating. They went to the GLAAD awards together the other night. There is a super cute pic of them smooching at the dinner table on Jackie's myspacer. Jackie and Rebecca's relationship would seemed to be built purely on sex and there is nothing wrong with that. Jackie was in a 5 year relationship so if she wants to let loose for a while, I say more power to her. There were tons of hot chicks at that housewarming party too.

Poor Mimi

I'm starting to realize that Jackie may have been the problem all along. My goodness, that ego!  She is so self absorbed and full of herself it's not even funny. Hot but not funny.  Mimi mostly just seems confused by her actions.  I'm sure she didn't pay any attention to her girlfriend once the show started to take off.  I would guess that Jackie acts differently towards Mimi when the cameras aren't around but when they are she makes Mimi out to be some psycho or something.  I really don't think she is that bad,  who hasn't done a little playful biting here and there? With that said,  I'm glad it's over if that means I get to see Jackie and Rebecca make out! 
-rada-'s picture

Uhhhhh....

I'll agree that Jackie has an ego, but Mimi just doesn't know how to communicate....she acts like a child. I don't know how anyone could have done 5 years with that broad!

Dear God!

So this is what happens when you care only about your appearance..Don't get me wrong..I'm all for a healthy lifestyle, but these people make me cringe..Still I find myself watching it like its the Discovery channel..Jackie Warner is a impressive business woman..But maybe she should look in the Mirror a little deeper..

annoying

Its a little annoying that Jackie gets treated as a celebrity when really she's just a woman that runs a gym.

So she goes out to EastWest or HERE on thursdays, big deal -- so did i when i lived in LA, and so do all of my friends that party in WeHo, its just what you do.

i actually bumped into her at HERE (next to the Abbey) when i was there in december drinking with some friends at a special event for Logo, and when i say i bumped into her...i literally mean BUMPED. I was carrying two drinks (Incredible Hulks, try em'..thank me later.) and i wasnt really looking where i was going, anyway i ended up lightly bumping into her, and before i even had the chance to look up, i apologized, setting the drinks down and making sure i hadnt spilled any on whoever i had just run into. i look up, and lo and behold, there she was... with the most disapproving look on her face. like "how dare you" and "why are you breathing my air?".

anyway, she was about to push me out of the way, when i just looked at her and pushed her out of the way first.

she's a bitch. (and for some reason ALWAYS looks lost when she's at a club. Its like shes constantly waiting for her entourage to arrive.)

BUT i also ran into Mimi (another night) and she's actually very very nice. so. there you go.  TV isnt real.
