TV show #5: Work Out

Okay, I've watched this show from the beginning because, let's face it, it's on Bravo.

I'm getting a bit annoyed with Jackie, to e perfectly honest. Yes, she's the boss and can hire, fire, and sleep with whomever you wish. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna have issues with some of the decisions you make. Consider this being judgmental if you like.

  • This was from last season, but having a relationship with your subordinate is never a good idea. It creates an uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone else.
  • She fired Peeler for lack of professionalism ... and yet she didn't seem to have any criticism for your assistant, Lisa, who made the inappropriate comments about a client.
  • I know I'm not a trainer, but she seems to have unrealistic expectations for the SkyLab clients. Three weeks, what does she expect from them? Especially when only expecting 3x per week! This is not the ranch at The Biggest Loser. Even if people are giving 100% of what they can, some things take time.
  • The situation with DD? DNEE? really upset me. I think the girl was emotional and explained her feelings to Lisa well, but then when Gregg showed up she just had to let it all out. Nothing was addressed as far as what HIS consequences were for not showing up, not calling back. SHE's the client. Jackie didn't seem to be sympathetic at all. And he DID roll his eyes and seem to shrug off what she was *trying* to say, so who can be articulate with an audience like that. There's a certain lack of encouragement from him at the beach, too. I actually feel for her, and I'm sure she's going to live up to all the low expectations Jackie has for her. And then in the therapy session.... that's a toughy because you want people to be able to voice grievances, but she was being ganged up on. Who wouldn't walk away? I woulda.
  • Plug, plug, plug. Jesse said it all. Jackie, I'm sure youre proud of your stuff. Leave us alone. It's getting shameless. I know she got her hair done at Jonathan's.... maybe they're related.
No rating, but I'm considering not watching this show anymore.
