Workout Episode #2

After numerous attempts at saving her relationship with Mimi, Jackie sees the light and decides to end it. Finally!



Jackie’s new program, Sky Lab, starts to take form. She chooses a select group of clients to participate in a trial run. They’re essentially guinea pigs. Jackie talks to each client individually. It’s very clear that she really wants to help these people. And, of course, make some money in the process.



The tension between Doug and Jesse hasn’t abated. Doug wants to make amends but Jesse seems determined to avoid dealing with the issue. At one point, Jackie steps in and asks Jesse to resolve the issue. “The biggest priority for us right now is Sky Lab,” she reminds him.



The suits at Bravo sure know what they’re doing. They are courting the gay consumer (hardcore)—Project Runway, Six Feet Under, Top Design, and the list goes on. So, I shouldn’t have been surprised when I saw Jackie working with Kathy Griffin. A good friend of mine hates her, but I and many gay men are devoted fans. Hmm, I wonder who’s next. Ellen? Margaret Cho? I hope it’s Rupert Everett. Yes, that would make me very happy.





Like a female dog in heat, Rebecca rushes to Jackie’s house to talk about Jackie’s recent breakup. She tells Jackie that she has hooked up with a girl before but feels really uncomfortable with the female body. She describes herself as a dude with no game when it comes to women. The conversation gets even better when she says, “give me a penis and I could do that all day.” Oh, Rebecca, I think you have a bright future in the world of reality TV.



Jesse is the show’s self-proclaimed “fat kid.” I’ve been really hard on Jesse for not being as fit as possible, but now I kind of feel bad for him. The look on his face when Jackie announced that he had 21.3% body fat was heartbreaking. I hope he gets with the program. I’m rooting for you, Jesse.



Jackie decides to throw a party at her new house in the Hollywood Hills. All the trainers are there and seem to be having a blast. Rebecca feels the need to tell everyone that she’s wearing a bra. She’s quite a character. After a few drinks, Jackie starts getting all touchy feely with some Russian woman. Look out L.A., Jackie’s single and ready to have some fun.



Now, I have to mention the conversation between Jesse and Doug. Yes! So, Jesse asks Doug to step outside for a bit and the two have a much needed heart to heart discussion. And Jesse finally decides to forgive Doug. Who wouldn’t forgive Doug with those puppy dog eyes? He’s such a cutie. Good job, Jesse.

After the boys have a wonderful bonding experience, things get interesting. Doug switches to horn dog mode. “You want to go home with me,” he asks Jesse a few minutes later. Jesse hesitates a bit and finally replies, “No!” Doug’s response to that was hilarious. First, he says that he is trying to flirt with Jesse. Then, he claims that he’s just joking. I almost fell off my chair when he asked one last time, “are you sure?” The scene ends with Doug asking Jesse whether he’s a top or a bottom. Jesse, we’re still waiting for an awer.



Meanwhile, back in the house, there’s a clash between Brian and Jackie. Man, those two really don’t like each other. Brian decides to leave the party early, and you better believe he has something up his sleeve. Things are going to get ugly.



Rebecca finds her way into Jackie’s arms. What’s the deal? I guess she’s just looking for attention. Jackie insists that she’s a good girl and would never pursue anything with Rebecca. Oh, Jackie, please be careful. You don’t need more drama in your life. Have your fun with a straight girl, if you must, but don’t let your guard down.
