"Work Out" Recaps: Episode 204

As always your recap was fantastic. You made me laugh out loud.

I was waiting for it, like a drug-addict for his/her dose. Now I'm flying; I feel good; I feel joy; I can't take off that smile up on my face.

It was a bad ass recap. Thanks !!! :-D

Once again, you make my world a sarcastic, yet warm and fuzzy place. I always have to make sure I am not drinking or eating when I read your recaps. I don’t think my pug has figured out the Heimlich maneuver yet.

As for the show...I don't know, Ms. Jackie sure likes her drama. My mother once told me "La pendeja es quien se deja" loosely translated it means that only idiots let themselves (and I don't think that Jackie is an idiot). So on that note, I am starting to feel kinda bad for Rebecca, because I think that Jackie knows this is playing out for some gooood ole drama on TV Land.

P.S. I feel bad for Doug, knowing what happens to him makes watching this even more difficult. :-(

This may sound crazy, but Andre's resemblence to the Sugar Crisp cereal bear makes me forgive him for any potential wrongs.

"Ccan't get enough of that sugar criiiiiisp..."

Is it me or is Jackie like turning into a pimp4real? Dating two woman at he sametime then have them both show up.

She was real lucky a catfight did not break lose.

Not only that she kicked Rebecca to the curb - face first - then gave her the back - then had the nerve to say call me tomorrow - what a player pimp move.

If all that was not bad enough, she beds Tiff and reveals herself as a bottom. Jackie on the bottom and handled. Gee what a flip.

Real sorry about Doug, but dehydrated to the point of kidney failure - that's real hard to believe. An athlete at his level knows the value of fluids/life/water. Just can't swallow this as the main cause.

The Advocate reported that Doug died from an "unknown ailment." I suppose we'll just have to leave it at that.

What a train wreck this show has turned out to be! Of course, I can't turn away.  Love these recaps, bad machine.

Jackie has no shame in her game. Ha. She's an egomaniac and I love it. She was sitting there in the bathroom making out with Rebecca when she knew good and well Tifinie might show up and then ignored Rebecca when Tif did show up. That is stone cold like Steve Austin. I thought it was cool of Erika to get Rebecca out of there. Heh heh.

Yeah, Doug's scenes are very difficult to watch.

I felt pretty bad for her at the dinner.  For all her efforts to seem sexually powerful, I get the vibe she's just frontin.  That isn't to say that she hasn't experienced what she says she has, but the public broadcast is a little attention seeking-and for what?  She's beautiful and in great shape so it's like sprinkling sugar on a frosted cake.  Plus I think she's really funny.  Jackie should have played the friendly card with both ladies once the evening turned into a double-booked event.

 I'm glad it works out for Rebecca and Jackie though, Tiffany's smile hits me funny.

 Poor Doug-he's so sweet.  It's so sad

I must say i'm really enjoying Jackie's makeout scenes.  I know she's a bad girl, in a  good sort of way.  I wouldn't wanna get played by her but she knows how to turn on the charm when she wants some action and I'd probably fall for it.  But then I don't look like Rebecca.....too bad.  I can see why Jackie likes her.    Who could resist all those curves:)  she's got 'em everywhere!  Rebecca needs to be smart tho' because Jackie has a tendency to grow tired of people and push them away by picking them apart! 

 Speaking of hot....the gorgeous formerly married ladies from the Oprah show need more face time on that show!  I want to see THEM kiss.  Guess i'm a little voyeuristic, but who isn't really when the scenery is so good!

 Jessie is annoying...Andre needs some oxygen, or perhaps less before he explodes!

jaBecca!!  i find that so funny.

  Did you comment on that grossness of kissing her dogs and then she

kissed her girlfriend. ewwww....that was some nasty shiznit. 

I love rebecca, she just says whatever is on her mind and doesn't care. :P

Haha, the name Jabecca makes me feel like a Star Wars geek cuz it reminds me of Chewbacca.. =) 

But anyways, I love Jackie and Rebecca together, they're so hott and cute. Tiffany..not so much. She looks too much like Dr. Shirley, as mentioned before. I'd pick Rebecca cuz she's so bubbly and energetic, and I love her sense of humor =]]

And Jackie Jackie Jackie. She's so lucky and I want to hate her, but I can't. I'm in love with her too lol<3

I miss Doug<3333333333 He was my 'favoritest' trainer besides Rebecca..

Jackie is officially the messiest mess that ever messed.  She loves drama, that's all I can explain it as.  From Mimi to Rebecca to Tiff.  I think Jackie is cute sometimes, but her ego just totally puts me off.  When she was talking about her & Tiff's sex life, I cringed.  Who says that on television? 

Poor Doug.  I'll miss him being on the show, he seemed genuinely sweet and kind.

Jesse needs to get a life of his own.  I could understand being a little upset that Jackie didn't tell him about Rebecca, but he, as usual, takes it way too far. 

Shut up, Andre.

Jackie's ego is being studied from space by North Korean satellites......LOL, it's amazing, I swear it's getting bigger every episode...........and yet I find myself unable to turn off the show.

That was so strange about Doug. He was so busy taking care of his ex I guess he stopped taking care of himself .

If Andre is looking to hook up with a lesbian he should get with Jessie.

Lol @ classy Rebecca.

"Jackie knows a thing or two. She knows the fish in her pond are always going to be hotter fish than the fish in Andre's pond. I wish I knew what she was talking about."

I think she's implying that she will always get hotter women.

Okay...I'm over my little crush on Jackie. Here's a blended name for her and Tiffany and it even fits Jackie's dating game..."Tackie". I felt bad for Rebecca. I don't remember if it was on the show or on the Bravo clips where Jackie stated that she wasn't interested in a long-term relationship with Rebecca and that Rebecca knew it. It doesn't seem that Rebecca is so peachy keen on sharing Jackie or a casual relationship. If I was Rebecca at the restaurant, I would have been pissed when Tiffany showed up. Jackie totally dissed/used/toyed with Rebecca...and since I'm bi, and we usually get accused of playing games, wtf? Also, if Jackie and Tiffany's relationship is on a whole different level (again, I can't recall if this was stated on the show or on the Bravo website), then why the hell is she stringing Rebecca along, unless it's some manufactured drama for the show.

My girlfriend has watched the show twice, once last season and then this episode. Her comments, "Why are you watching this? It's retarded. Does that chick have an ego or what? Does she like messing around with straight girls? Turn it off and let's go to bed."

Me, "Okay!!!" (I think it was just a pissing match and she was just trying to one up Jackie). I guess I'll stick to my own "Work Out(s)" from now on. This episode totally annoyed me.

It sucks that Doug died. I don't get how everyone on the show acted like they were so tight with him, but weren't in touch with him for a week? Weren't they concerned when he wasn't showing up for work?  From what we saw on the show, he seemed like a great guy.  I remember when he took Zen hiking in Runyon Canyon to cheer her up. 

"Jackie's ego is being studied from space by North Korean satellites" priceless. This recap was so freakin hilarious. Jackie makes me feel dirty too. I'm starting to like Rebecca the more Jackie becomes annoying. I've always liked Peeler. As goofy as he comes off sometimes, he seems the most real to me.

Andre is an idiot...he's making men look bad, especially black men. there he goes perpetuating another stereotype. as far as doug goes it is so freakin sad to watch him knowing the outcome. i think it's sad that some people are speculating the cause of his death is hiv/aids related. is this just because he's gay. if he weren't would anyone even be thinking that. honestly both his parents died at his age and the rest of his family is dead too, maybe it's hereditary...bad genes.

and just because it didn't air doesn't mean that no one tried to get in contact with doug. jackie said she had been calling but wasn't getting an answer. who do you call for a guy that has no one? i also thought gregg had one of the funniest lines about jackie (to paraphrase) he said you don't go out with one girl and have another one show up just to tell the first one her babe hold my drink. so true.

I have also wondered that about posters who have made the HIV+ comments. I also wondered if Doug wasn't gay, would they still suspect that is what took his life? His parents and sister died from some mystery ailment and Doug did also, that's too much of a coincidence.

Jackie is a total narcissist but at the end of the day, Tifinie and Rebecca have all the power. If they don't let Jackie get away with what she's doing, she won't do it. If either one of them or both of them stop and walk away from their relationship with Jackie all the nonsense would cease. Of course, then we wouldn't have drama on the show. Rebecca is not all that young. She's only 7 years younger than The Warner.

Ouch. I don't think Rebecca and Jackie are actually in a relationship... Rebecca thinks she is, while Jackie doesn't. Jackie's myspace says she's single, while Rebecca says she's in a relationship.

The way Jackie is presenting herself is horrible, and is turning off a lot of people!

...and I started tearing up when Doug told Cheo that this would be his last birthday celebration. Oh. my. god.

Ok, so if it is really some genetic disease that affects Doug's whole family why not just explain what it is? If they continue to keep it so mysterious of course people will jump to certain conclusions.

What Jackie did at the dinner was totally low. The least she could have done is remain neutral to both women. Obviously it was a set up, and that's why she chose that moment to kiss Rebecca for the first time. She was hoping for drama.

I suspect she drove Mimi into "biting."

There's just something about Jackie...she's almost okay until she opens her mouth.

At the end of the day, it's really not our business what killed Doug. Maybe they don't have a name for what it is. I just get annoyed that when a gay man gets sick, people automatically assume it was AIDS or HIV.

Jackie left a message on R's myspacer on April 12th talking about, "Hi, baby, it's time to play, Mexico is waiting." or some type of mess like that. J/R's relationship might be undefined...it might be an open relationship because R was on a call in show and said that she broke up with her boyfriend on March 19. So, her and J were messing around before that, so that leads one to believe this is not a monogamous union they share.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one that thinks Jackie was being a total ass. Seems like she's tryin' way too hard to present herself as this...well pimp.  But Rebecca's stupid for even crawling right back into Jackie's lap after that total show of disrespect at dinner. Now Andre is completely unlikable, Erika's really not attractive to me, and we all know what happens to the most likable person, Doug. Hmm...hot bodies, huge egos, and the loss of loved characters...no it doesn't bring the L Word to mind.

~ I can resist everything but temptation~

The best line of the week:

"Jackie's ego is being studied from space by North Korean satellites."

She's our secret weapon, because those satellites are not* made to withstand Jackie's outsize ego, and will soon fizzle and drop out of the sky - now I understand why it's Sky Sports.......

Thanks for the recap - and the best laugh of the week!!!

I think it is so sad, and quite ironic, that the only redeemable person on this show is gone.  Doug is the only person on this show that I would want to have a conversation with. 

And yet, I cant stop watching.

And, who else cringed watching Jackie juggle those two at the sushi restaurant?  That was just truly painful.  I think we've all been in a similar situation at some point in our lives.  You would think that Jackie would have more sense.  But I really do think that she is so egomaniacal that other people's feelings have no importance to her.  She's a bitch and a half.  And, by the way, Tiffany is way hotter than Rebecca.  But she should know by now (isnt she like 45?) that straight girls are trouble!

When is the Workout gonna be screened in South Africa....i'm addicted and i only read about the program.....tho i guess considering how awesome the recaps are, i possibly don't actually need to watch the real show!!!

Keep the recaps rolling....gives me a reason to come to work!!!

Every week I watch, I like Brian a little more and Jackie a little less. Ironically enough, I think that this show is de-gaying me.

Rebecca's smile mask scares me. She clenches her teeth and bugs out her eyes and tries to pretend that she's all happy and casual and whatnot, and it makes me want to hide under the table.

i spit out my soda when i read this : "Jesse marches into Jackie's office and reprimands her because "you can't go out and make out with somebody in a public bathroom anymore, Jackie. It's just weird." Jackie refuses to give up her inappropriate public displays of horniness, because she's feels she's entitled to make out anywhere she damn pleases — and if it's eight feet from a tampon dispenser, so be it."

if i was rebecca i would so have ended that entire "situation" the next day. wasn't she humiliated? damn, i don't know how she could still be up under somebody who put her in that predicament and treated her that way in front of others. just wrong. dead wrong.

to the person who said andre is making black men look bad; don't go there. andre is making himself look like sexist, myopic, covetous prick. period.

i can't stand jessie. was he seriously throwing a tantrum over not being the first to know some gossip? 

i feel so horrible about doug, as healthy as he was, i can tell that he was desperately trying to make sure that history didn't repeat itself.  

Badmachine,

You are hilarious. My favorite line part of your recap:

Doesn't Erika sometimes seem like she's on something? She doesn't say much, and her eyelids are at half-mast. She looks like Angelina Jolie after 10 bong hits.

Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next recap.
