Work Out Recap 4/11

by Allison

Here’s the quick run-down of what happened on last night’s episode of Work Out. Spoilers ahead if you haven’t seen the show yet!


Jackie juggles two relationships at once, which is fine because both girls know about it…but it is not fine that she was on a date with one girl and then the other girl showed up. This was the first night she and Rebecca kissed…does that mean nothing? Just because you’re a lesbian, doesn’t mean you get to be a jerk to your date. It also doesn’t mean that you get to share all of your intimate secrets on camera. I think it was really rude how Jackie was talking about her getting “better at sex.” Her date was obviously a bit uncomfortable–and even if she wasn’t, I was uncomfortable. There aren’t different rules for lesbians. We didn’t hear Gregg talk to Zen about their sex life on camera!


The trainers are clearly bothered by their boss dating an employee and by the disrespect she showed to Rebecca by inviting another women to dinner after Zen’s gig. She talks to them about it, but you know what? They’re right. It is unethical to date an employee. I don’t care if you are Jackie Warner. I think that this lady is on a real power trip, and it’s not pretty. As a business owner, you have to be a role model to your employees.


Doug turns 44 in this episode, and again, I think that the show’s producers are treating this entire issue with total disrespect. They’re capitalizing on Doug’s death by building up the tragedy-factor. I’m glad they have him on the show, don’t get me wrong, but the way they are portraying him isn’t necessary. For example, in this episode they focused SO MUCH on the fact that his parents died at a young age. In fact, much of the show revolved around him. It’s just my personal belief that they should have edited the shows as normal instead of sensationalizing Doug’s death.

    Yeah, they’re playing us. Yeah, they are jerks. But this epi broke my heart. I cried for a half hour after the show ended.

    Doug seemed so geniune and I hate that they used his passing to generate interest in this drek. But such is life, and I prefer to view this episode as a kind of tribute to Doug and his caring, classy ways. If only some of the other trainers were half as classy!

  2. Laz Says:

    I didn’t have an issue with how they edited this episode. These are Doug’s final moments on the show and frankly, I’d be more upset if they discarded him and swept him under the rug and made him quietly disappear which they certainly could have.

    I actually liked seeing Doug happy at his birthday party and seeing the genuine concern and affection felt by Jackie & the other trainers.

  3. Allison Says:

    I guess my main issue with this show right now is that they seem to be capitalizing on his death to get ratings. Every single commercial leading up to this episode was like “…and jackie tells the trainers some horrible news about doug, blah blah”. I don’t think they should be using his death to entice viewers to watch the show.

  4. Marius Says:

    Yeah, I can see your point about them using his death to get ratings. It was a little disturbing to watch the tragedy unfold for everyone to see. But, honestly, I kind of agree with Laz. After thinking about it, I’m glad they didn’t exclude him from these recent episodes.

  5. Dave Says:

    I didn’t know about Doug’s death until recently. I’m glad they shared the scenes they did with us because it gave viewers like me, who didn’t know of his death, a view into his final weeks…and a glimpse of his life history. It gave his death more gravity…and when I found out, it really affected me. I was thankful they shared what they shared.
