Workout Star Called "Negative Icon"

Listen, she and her assistant didn't know the lady she was commenting about had survived breast cancer! She never knew until they made a few comments, and the boyfriend overheard them and corrected them, by dropping the bomb that the girlfriend had survived breast cancer, hence the look of her breasts.
I don't get mad at Jackie for making a comment about fake breasts, HOWEVER, I DO blame her for making a NEGATIVE comment (with her hideous assistant) about one of their CLIENTS!!

I was a long-time client at Sky and I'd toss the dead-eyed witch over the side of the building if I heard her making fun of clients like that. Screw that cold, damaged, mid-west transplant all the way outta town. Now in all fairness, I'm certain Jackie truly had NO IDEA that client had survived breast cancer, but she and her co-worker should have sat there and keep thier catty mouths shut about their client -- someone who is paying the overhead.

The other trainers at sky are fun and dedicated and Jackie is very dedicated, but when she's together with her staff, it's better to save the snarky commentary for a place FAR AWAY from the GYM!! Seriously, this is a very small world and she's on the road to finished if she keeps it up that way. Word travels very fast around William Morris, CAA, ICM, Gersh, etc. Her outward beauty is washed away by her ugly inner spirit.

So she is held up to some sort of different standard because she is gay? The fact that she can be a total bitch has nothing to do with the fact she is gay, she's just bitchy. I would be too if I had to deal with all their asses. I'm sure she is totally heart broken to not be a gay role model, get over it. I will take her realness any day and yeah she is hot.

@lawyergay: Peeler's GF probably doesn't want to play any part in this dysfunctional freak-show. The dude's from North Carolina, he's got his head on straight and from what I readon the blogs, Jackie has a MAJOR problem on her hands. The winner here: Bravo. Ratings is ratings.

@HandsomeBwonderful: You make a good point. But where is Peeler's girlfriend? But, to help bolster your point, I am totally willing to believe that I have been manipulated into my previous comments by bravotv.com's evil marketeers.

I always wondered what happened to Kristy MacNichol. I'm glad to see she worked out the bi-polar thing, hit the gym, and is back on tv. You go, Kristy. Or Jackie. Or whatever you want to call yourself.

Peeler is a lovable oaf when consider Jackie's ginormous ego and her control issues. I don't see the appeal at all. She has a great body, but she so condescending towards her lovers and staff
The comment she made about Peeler's client was in really poor taste. I believe her claim that she didn't know the woman in question was a cancer survivor when she said her boob job looked "like rocks on her chest", but why go there in the first place?

@Nathaniel_Poor: Straight womens attraction to Jackie has nothing to do with spas and such, and everything to do with the same kind of attraction they have to Shane on The L Word. Watch it. It's called sex appeal, dude.

@lawyergay: Peeler no es gay, mi amigo. Why is it that the gays are always claiming the tough, rugged straight men as one of their own? Brad Pitt, Troy Aikman, Tom Cruise-- well... Peeler ain't gay. He saw a sentimental, compassionate side in Doug that he was lacking and wanted to embrace it, to better himself and those around him. That's a good thing. As far as that crazy, dong-hating, insecure, passive-aggressive, wench who calls herself boss; she's gay. And hates herself. And now, so do I, for caring.

I have never met a woman named Jackie that didn't have some attitude issue. Never.

That's so funny that you guys picked up on the straight lady crush thing on this woman, I think it has something to do with her access to fancy spas and ability to tell off the thugs in her gym; otherwise quite mysterioso

What about the other Peeler -- that old chap in a tasteful sport coat in Union Square? He's always chanting "The blade is made in Switzerland and cannot rust."

First of all, Hamilton: Thank you for covering Workout, clearly one of the most important reality shows of our time. It's different! It's not a contest! These are people's real jobs and stuff. Right?

This is my take: Peeler is so goddamn gay. He had a desperate, I'm-discovering-my-homosexuality-but-I-don't-quite-get-it-yet-but-I-sort-of-do crush on Doug (who died of AIDS-related complications last season, which was terribly sad but never really remarked-upon). He wants to be involved in EVERYTHING that has to do with Doug for reasons he can't articulate to himself, and everyone knows why (except, irritatingly, Peeler), and everyone--especially Jackie--is kind of tired of it.

I get both sides. But the bottom line is that Peeler is sweet and confused, and Jackie should rehire him, sit him down, and tell him, once and for all, that he is gay.

Peeler! ha.
I thought this show already settled how you don't have to be any specific *type* of gay to be on the show. You know, when there was that cat fight between queeny and butchy? (and then it ended in a sad way.)
Anyway, Jackie is bitchy on every show! But she is still hot! Seriously, I think the show just exists to showcase her mad sex appeal. Who cares what the fuck she does, as long as we can see her?

Forgive me for being completely off-topic here, but did Demi Moore recently cut off Ashton Kuthcher's allowance? He's cute, but his ubiquitous presence (in the camera ads all over this site) is weirding me out.

Oh, and yes, people should be less rude, so thanks to the uber-polite boycotters.

No, I miss Peeler already!!! I actually haven't watched this season at all, except for last night, when the whole Sky Universe erupted. Jackie looks like she needs a few chill pills, to say the least. This must be illegal for an employer to behave like this. Scratch that, I was almost fired daily for fucking up my old boss's lattes. Sigh...
