Jesse,

Well done! That was the best apology ever! You did not make excuses, you didn't try to shift blame, you took responsibility and admitted your fault! I’m glad Rebecca listened and accepted it like a lady. You are bringing SEXY back!

Hey Jesse,

It was good to see you be a man and apologize to Rebecca. glad to see there is no more fighting for you. it is not necessary because unlike some other shows, this one has a heart. It must have been really hard to hear about doug while cameras are rolling. I don't think I could ever do what you guys have done. take care.

Wait, wait, WAIT!! Erika has TROUBLE GETTING LAID?

What planet am I on? That girl is hhhhhot. Straight, sadly, but hot nonetheless.

As for you, young man, thanks for opening up and sharing a small piece of why things have been all cattywampus for you (Seriously, they say "cattywampus" where I'm from - no joke.) Sorry to hear you're having troubles in your personal life...it can't be easy to juggle a high-pressure career, be on television, and have a reasonably sane private life.

Hang in there (but please don't put up any posters with kittens on them while doing so.)

Cheers,
Erin

You were not completely wrong with the Jackie/Rebecca thing. Just know that I support you for being a better adult about it. (Except for the name calling, that was childish) But, Jesse, don't worry about it, I agreed with your comments. For what's it's worth. Jackie and Rebecca are not acting like adults. Rebecca has a lot of growing up to do.

HI Jesse,
I saw you apologize to Rebecca for calling her a slut but did she say she was sorry for calling you Jackie's BITCH? I heard her say a lot of nasty things about you so I hope she said she was sorry too. She still gets on my nerves.
I see next weeks episode is going to be a very heart touching one, I felt so bad for all of you in the scene they showed us when you were talking about Doug passing. I have watched the show from the first one and I got to really like Doug and how he was so caring of everyone who came into his life. I am glad you and Doug made up and everything was okay between the two of you before this happened, boy next week is going to be a heart breaker.
My deepest sympathy to all of you.

Well, I give you kudos for patching things up with Rebecca (although I still HATE her guts and think she's a bitch). I agree with you about Erika being a total hottie, but then again so is Zen (in my humble opinion).

Until next time take care and keep on kicking ass.

Jesse, was it editing magic or did you OPT OUT of sharing at the retreat bonding session? I was dying to know more about your situation, background, etc.

And I don't mirror taking back the Rebecca thing. I still think she's an opportunist. An equal-opportunity office slut who will screw anyone in charge. So long as she's sleeping with the boss!

And I think your initial instincts were dead on. It reads so clearly on T.V. But I also think Jackie's not serious about her, and will end it before things get too heavy.

Stay cute, dude!

jesse, don't lose your edge. Friends, true friends are not afraid to speak up when they see their friends making asses of them selves. jackie is pulling a teacher student deal with becky. It reeks of insecurity and weakness and that in itself is okay, human even. heck we all have sold ourselves short from time to time. but her defensiveness says it all. She knows she is in it for the power trip of bringing someone over. Becky is simply convenient for her, and says whatever she wants to hear. and d-u-m as a doorknob!

Paaaaaaaaaaleeze! Everybody responding to Jesse's blog sounds just like him; immature and bitchy. Doug was right, Jesse is a bad gay representative. He perpatuates the negative stereotype, that all gay men are bitchy and self centered. I cringe when he comes on the show, and hope that some day he grows up and acts like a man, not the bitchy queen he is.

Jesse,

I think you're a fantastic trainer. I think you inspire people and bring out their strengths. I also think you're a good friend to Jackie, and admire you for being there for her during her difficult times. So many fair-weather friends out there, it's a pleasure to see someone like yourself who's so devoted.

I wanted to let you know how much I respected your apology to Rebecca. It takes a big person to say what you did. It took class and substance. You set a fine example.

Cheers,
Jenny

I honestly think the whole Jackie-Rebecca thing isn't much to lose sleep over, and doesn't really warrant the attention it is getting, as much as I respect and love them too! **** I know others have mentioned Doug's passing and how lucky you were to have the amends made right before; so I really won't go on about it TOO much.....But I really know he will be missed. I got into the series a bit later than most, and know I didn't get exposed to him so much, but he seemed like this insanely big-hearted, gentle soul!

Jesse,
I actually know Rebecca and you are right about her. I watched her and listened to her (you couldn't help but....she made it impossible not to) for a long while when I was working at Train. She sleeps with everyone, she is proud of it, she likes it, and she constantly drops her pants....wtf? Jackie getting involved with her is probably just for ratings. The only reason Rebecca is even there is because of her sexuality and the way she looks. She is definately NOT one of the best trainers in LA. That is ridiculous! She taught a spin class and had a few clients but not too many. No one liked her at all. Why gay people get involved with straight people is just beyond me. I guess it is just for the sex. I miss Doug. He was actually one of the best trainers in LA and the most awesome human being!

Jesee,
I think you're fabulous! I missed the part where you apologize to Rebecca; as long as you feel better about things now is really all that matters (smile). I absolutely love the way in which you are so-o-o-o honest! You tell-it-like-it-is.....and there is nothing wrong with that. Goodness, where is it written, that "If the shoe fits....you can't tell he/she so?" (smile).

Jesee, about doug....I'm glad you two got to work things out to. I can only imagine how hard it must have been on you.....when you all found out. I hope you and the other trainers are doing well; you're in my prayers always.

In closing, I would like to add that, you are so-o-o funny! Nothing is more funny than the blatent-truth (right?).....I mean, come'on....that's why 98-100% of the time...people laugh; if it has anything to do with human nature and/or how things really are, people will explode in laughter! You are sweet, good-looking, an asset to the Show, and I agree with the person that said, 'You ought to have your own show!'....because you would be great! God bless and take care of You!

Jesse,
You are the most adorable guy on the planet, and I aplaude you for apologizing to Rebeccah. She is not a slutt just because she has feelings for a woman instead of a man. Falling in love with someone is about the person, not their gender. That may not be the case with everyone, but with some people, that is how they love. But, i love you to death, and I can't wait to see you on next week's episode!!!

Jesse,
I think You are a great friend to Jackie. Yes, you are controlling, and you have to get a grip on that..but you are only looking out for her. I do feel that Jackie should be careful with Rebecca, because she could be trying to use her. Infact, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that she was using her. So your not wrong for letting your feelings about this out. But now, you need continue to be a best friend to Jackie, and protect her, without getting out of control....Rebecca is aware your watching her, so that to me is enough. Let Jackie make her own choices, and just be there like a best friend would otherwise you could mess-up your relationship with Jackie, and that would be bad...Jackie is lucky to have you, and yes, she doesn need you...She needs you to respect her life even if you don't agree with it.....I know you can do it, you've already started..Plus, I think Jackie is getting stronger...

Jesse,
In reading all your notes, it seems that you have won some very important points.
"You" are who "YOU" are.
Period.
And that should be MORE than "good enough" for all of us -- especially you!
Doug's death has ended this just being a Reality Show.
Now -- it has had to become 100% "real."
Please know that you and Doug and those who truly knew him, are in my prayers.
Congratulations on being a growing, learning, wonderful guy.
These days, THAT is a great deal more important than Jackie's obsessions with appearance and "control."
Still, I'm pretty sure she understands the true value of your Friendship.
Know you have my very best.

Oh, and also nothing against any person, I really respect every one but I just dont like Rebecca!! Yes she is pretty! but she seems to immature, she needs to grow up! and what TOM said YOU are who YOU are! that is true!!

Jesse -
I am proud of you for maturely apologizing for your actions with Rebecca. I see how much you value your friendship with Jackie and good friends always want the best for each other, however, in Jackie's case it's not a life threatening situation. Things may or may not work out in the future for her and Rebecca but support her decisions and just be there if she needs to talk it out. Laughter is part of life and very much healthy. Jackie deserves that....and by the way, Rebecca could have at least apologized for her actions as well. As for you culinary talents, I have a connection for you if you ever have an interest in food show competition.
