OK, if you weren't at least a little teary-eyed by the end of the episode this week, then something is wrong with you. The therapy session at the retreat was such a powerful experience. Having the Skylab clients share their struggle with us, with ALL of us, not only showed bravery, it showed their true willingness to confront their own issues and make a life change ... that is nothing short of brilliant.

All of the Skylab clients pushed themselves to the extreme to achieve the goals they set out for... and, without saying too much... it totally pays off!

Um, what's next?

Jackie and Rebecca dating, how about that?

You deserved the water in your face, you are being such a jealous QUEEN! Relax. Let them do what they want to do and be a real friend to Jackie and let her be happy!

You come across as a real punk. And calling your "best friends" date/girlfriend whatever a slut and a hooker is rude and classless. You're lucky all you got was water in your face.

Matthew wrote:

I thought you handled yourself very well when getting the water in your face. And you look sexy wet ;-) I also want to say I am very sorry about the loss of Doug. I honestly had no idea until I got on your blog tonight. I lost someone very close to me also and if you ever just need to talk don't hesitate to email. :-)
Best wishes!

OK, I'll hang in there only if someone tells Rebecca to chew with her mouth closed, Yuck! Let's try some table manners. Oh, and tossing drinks at someone who tells it like it is isn't in the Emily Post Ediquette guidebook.

"Rebecca, though sweet and good intentioned, can't handle an argument like that. Her way of standing up to me was to throw her drink at me. Shit -- I kinda deserved it, but still ... we should learn how to use our words."

Like slut? Yeah, that's a word, Leave your friend alone and focus on losing your gut.

Faith wrote:

You handled yourself with incredible restraint after Rebecca "lost it." I agree with you - she seems like a card-carrying opportunist! No wonder she reacted so strongly, it seemed like a perfect case of "The lady doth protest too much . . ." You are adorable and I guess the truth was more than Rebecca could bear!

Jen wrote:

Watching the dynamic of the show is hilarious...hope that water wasn't too cold...you did deserve it kinda but I'm very happy to see you write that you did. :)

"You're the poster girl for drama!" "You're the poster girl for hooker!" Priceless!

Jesse,

they are not getting married sweetie relax. It is not your job to protect Jackie's heart. Maybe if you would stop calling Rebecca names and have a real conversation with Jackie, she might be more comfortable telling you what it is that attracts her to Rebecca. I have said it once on these blogs and I'll say it again, THOSE TWO ARE FREAKING HOT TOGETHER!!! just breathe sweetie, it's ok.

Lisa Washington wrote:

ok,i know that you have a very strong relationship and friendship with Jackie, but you really need to let her live her own life.And since you consider Rebbecca a"hore/slut", why do you keep trying to get in her business.I mean, what if you were in Jackie and Rebecca's situation, and had some annoying person that's suppose to be your "best friend" try to ruin your relationship? I'm more than sure that you'd be pissed.Just saying that you should try to back off A LOT!

Angela wrote:

Jesse,

I think your wonderful! You are so funny and people just rag on you for defending and caring about your good friend Jackie. I think it's in your personality to tell it like it is. Rebbeca had NO right to throw a drink on you. She is totally immature and attention seeking. I just go crazy watching her because she really has an annoying personality. I hope you can tolerate her because she's Jackies "girl toy" now. I am sick of seeing the two of them makeout...the show is about working out...not making out. Jackie seems like a great person, but she needs to pull it together and keep her personal relationships out of the office. She wants Skylab to be sucessful, but she needs to back off the Rebbeca deal and gain some personal respect back from her trainers who seemed somewhat shocked that she's so about the BOOTY! I understand that Jackie was hurting after crazy Mimi, but she's not thinking of the emotional crap Tiffany and Rebbeca will have to deal with when she's done having her fun. I love you guys and enjoy the show.

molly wrote:

Jesse,
I think you need to leave Jackie and Rebecca alone. They can handle a relationship on their own, they don't need your 'help'. You deserved the water in your face. If you were Jackie's real friend, you would be happy for her, help her through this, and not be a jealous jerk.

karlyQ wrote:

I'm not a fan of Rebecca's, but Jesse shouldn't call her a slut or hooker at the table, and even worse in front of all the other employee's. The water was well deserved and so intertaining!!!I still like Jesse. I know you really don't care for Rebecca and I feel she is pretty fake with Jackie,too. I like seeing rebecca and Jesse argueing I hate to say, but it is so juicy.The sky lab should get the clients off of dairy and meat. They would really loose weight, but with a good cleansing also. Veganism the whole way. You are so lucky to live in California with all the great vegan options.I love all the workout tips, but lets see more holitic and natural health guides.

You deserved every single drop of that water. Why dont you just let them get on with their lives geez You are such a drama Queen. Rebbeca was right to call you Jessica. Get over it and let them be.

get a life you poster child of a drama queen you! lol

Jessie,
Dont listen to their B.S. You handled everything just fine. Rebecca is the the one that needs to get a life....instead of butting into yours. I agree with you 100%. Stay strong...Jackie will come to her senses.

skylar wrote:

Jesse...you even look hot with water in your face!!! And you behaved like a grown-up even after being verbally and aquatically assaulted. You are the star of this show even if it is being edited to look otherwise. Thanx for always saying what everyone else is thinking.

Jesse I think u did the right thing with that slutty biotch. If i were u i kick that bitch face on the face that slutty hoe kekekke.

I wish you could have thrown water on Rebecca - but NOOOOO - you're a guy and everyone would have been mad at you! She said some mean things to you too - calling you Jackie's bitch, etc. Let's all pretend to throw water on Rebecca! I'm sorry, but Rebecca just gives me the creeps!

David wrote:

Jesse,

I'm so glad you admitted you were wrong on your blog. You were starting to loose your appeal! I think you are HOT, but I can't stand that typical gay drama! Please! Live and Let Live! Can't wait to see how you "redeem" yourself.

Jesse, lay off the ladies, they're adults and know what they're doing. And from now on, you have to splash yourself in the face with water, cuz, I did'nt think you could get any hotter, but add water and woohoo get me a fire extinguisher. ps. do you cook for two, me and you... later babe...

Carmen wrote:

Jesse, the drama between you and rebecca seems fairly harmless and random. That being said, you do come off a little desperate and jealous. Are you? I think the jealousy is a pretty common emotion in that type of situation though...but it isn't very becoming. Oh and someone should tell poster Lee that she is right about tossing drinks not being in Emily Post, but also note that the word "Ediquette" is not in the dictionary either!:o) (Etiquette)

Danielle Vinci wrote:

Jesse - I'm sure you're used to 2 types of comments, and 2 types only. First, you're bound to have hundreds of guys hitting on you. After all, you are absolutely gorgeous (this coming from a lesbian). Second, I'm sure there is going to be PLENTY of hate mail regarding your interference of Jackie and Rebecca's relationship. What I want to say is that while I completely understand your concern (and even agree with you to a certain extent), I'm pretty sure the mature thing to do would have been to talk to Jackie about this in private. After all, you ARE her best friend and I definitely know what it's like to have concerns about your friends' relationships... especially when it involves co-workers, etc. However I do agree with one post in which it was mentioned that it was very disrespectful of you to call Rebecca a slut! Not only that but you said it on national televison and in front of other people that you work with... very unprofessional, mister! I hope that everything works out with the three of you - or at least the two of you. I know that you mean well, and I hope that more people realize that instead of jumping down your throat. I'm sure that looking back you can see where you may have been at fault, but your good intentions and charm can win America back, I'm sure. BEST OF LUCK!

Tia wrote:

Jesse, c'mon! Does it really matter what someone else has going on in their personal life. If this "thing" between Jackie and Rebecca starts to effect how your job is done, then it would be your concern. Until then, just stop being such a drama queen! In lieu of it all, I must say you handled yourself well after having water thrown in your face. Kudos to you...

Cricket wrote:

This is in regards to Jesee and the way in which he handled, Rebecca throwing water in his face. I think you handled it so well, Jesee! I think, if the tables were turned....Rebecca would not have handled it like you did. BRAVO, BRAVO...Jesee! Oh yes, before I forget, I absolutely love your fowardness and willingness to ne HONEST, in spite of the situation at hand. If people can't handle "YOU" as You, then too bad...right? Don't let any of the 'negative' comments, Blogs, etc. get you down in any way. You are so much better then that! Keep on truck'ing friend. And, May God Bless You and your family always! Bye for now.

to everyone dissing jesse - whatever. a boss dating a subordiate is uncool and inconsiderate to everyone in the workplace - totally unprofessional. if jackie and rebecca are serious, then rebecca should leave the company. jackie is only progressive in her policies when it's convenient to jackie - anytime anyone has anything negative to say, they're opinion is written off as jealousy - grow up, jackie - you're some of that - but you're not all that. jesse rules.

I just have to say your not only adorable but you look so damn HOT wet lol and yeah I totally agree with what you said

Dear Mr Brune-
You know, if you feel so "put upon" w/attending the retreats & "dealing" w/all the drama of being on the show, you could quit & go back to being a "civilian"..I certainly hope the editors do give you a chance, because thus far, you've come across as a SPOILED BRAT throwing a temper tantrum..you keep saying that Jackie is one of your best friends, but so far, with friends like you who needs enemies?? Lighten up & truly become a friend to Jackie!!

Jesica & Ricardo wrote:

Jesse, we just have to say that we are TOTALLY on your side with the whole Jackie-Rebecca thing. If she got made becasue you were being honest about how you feel it is only because she knows deep down that you are right. She started the whole name calling thing with the "Drama Queen" remark. Anyways, we just wanted to let you know that we are in your corner and see right through that chick. Anybody with any sense can see it too. (and we are also suspicious that the negative comments about you are Rebecca-generated =)). Take care, we luv you!!! Keep your cool, you totally were the adult in that situation and handled it well.

Betsy wrote:

Well, water in the face, not the end of the world. However, you may have pushed her just a little tiny bit too much. Jackie is lucky to have a friend like you looking out for her. My mother always said:"If you have 1 true friend, you have it all". As a 42 yr. old gay woman myself, I have learned to be very wary of the straight girls, and I think you are too. Keep looking out for your friend. Just learn to duck. Perhaps more things may fly your way.

kai wrote:

Jesse, you are 110% correct....Rebecca is exactly what you called her! She is so annoying and she is the one who should have had water thrown in her face. She's looking for camera time. Very obnoxious and extremely loose.

u are super hot, especially wet. but man were u a big fat jerk. i'm trying to see where you're coming from but i can't. at least you're hot.

Hi Jesse, Luv ya! Behind all the drama, I know U mean well. I’m such a fan of the show, and having the opportunity to see the person who Doug was as an individual on the show gives U an appreciation on how precious life is. We truly shouldn't sweat the "small stuff". My heart goes out to all who knew Doug, and had the privilege to be part of is life. He's finally with his family~RIP Doug

LB wrote:

Jesse, It is ok to say you are jealous of Rebecca's relationship with Jacky. Did you deserve the water in the face, well I think you answered that yourself. You need to look at why you feel the way you do and go past that, they are both adults and have a right to be together if they choose. Rebecca seems to have some issues of her own regarding Jacky's other lover so you may have the satisfaction of seeing that play itself out as well.

toni wrote:

Jesse,

I like you. I think you're adorable. You seem bright and are funny but when it comes to Rebecca and Jackie -- you are a PAIN IN THE ASS! You come off as SO jealous. You act like you're Jackie's mother. You are one of your best friends, gotcha! You are not her mom or her mate.

Jesus Christ, you are so nasty to Rebecca. I hope you realize how jealous and mean spirited you appear. Don't blame it on the editing or the producers....Calling her a slut, she should have done more than toss water at you.

As someone else stated, you come off as a jealous queen. Even now in your blog, you STILL are nasty and mean. Geez, GET A LIFE and leave those two alone. Jackie is a big girl.

Anita wrote:

I absolutely agree w/what you told Rebecca. I wouldn't trust her and you are being a REAL friend vocalizing what you see as truth. True friends don't just go along with what their friends WANT to hear. Also, you handled yourself with grace and class after getting water thrown in your face. Everyone should have a friend like you. Kudos!!

dee wrote:

None of us Moms like Rebecca and we are all Jesse fans so we give you a pass on the water throwing but you did deserve a time out- buuuuut, like you said, Editors givith and taketh away!

Vicky Bridgeforth wrote:

Although I do love the chemistry between Jackie and Rebecca, it makes for good tv drama. I must admit that I believe that it may be a natural habit for Jackie to place herself in emotionally harmful situations and relationships. I think it has something to do with some type of eternal struggle. Maybe she enters into these relationships as punishment, unconsciously setting herself up for emotional stress, disappointment, and drama. Its a lot like people who over indulge when eatting as punishment.

My best advice for you is to sit back and let your friend be herself. The best you can do for Jackie is to be her emotional support. I know it is hard when you see your friends in potentially harmful situations but right now you are beginning to appear a little obsessed, over zealous, and dramatically jealous. Sometimes we have to watch our friends progress through life quietly and just prepare ourselves to be there when it all comes crashing down.

Joan K. wrote:

HI Jesse,
I have to say I think you handled yourself pretty good, I don't know what I would have done, Rebecca needs a glass of water thrown at her to cool her down. She is making a fool out of herself by pawing all over Jackie in front of everyone. It is like she is trying to tell all of you that Jackie is hers and hands off. I did notice that she is starting to get jealous if Jackie does not make her the center of attention. The look on her face when Jackie was just talking to you told the whole story. I love seeing that look of jealousy on her face so if you just get Jackie to talk to you more that will do it for Miss Rebecca. She is not gay and it is so clear that she wants to be teachers pet.

ayesha wrote:

Jesse,

I think you should give the ladies a break. they seem to like each other and have fun together, so calm down. I see why Jackie would not share anything to you about Rebecca because you have not liked her since season 1 when you called her a slut. I would feel uncomfortable talking to you as well. You are her friend but it is not your job to protect her. If it goes wrong and she gets hurt, you will get to say, "I told you so!"
until that happens, let it go, dude!!!

Ruben wrote:

Don't throw a glass of water at me for saying this, but you kind of deserved the watery diss from Rebecca. I understand caring for a friend, but Jackie is a big girl and way over 21. So, I think you just let things happen even if it turns out to be a train wreck. By the way you looked hot all wet and surprised. LOL

Parker wrote:

Hey Jesse ...1st of all love u always and forever but u got to admit u were a lil out of line w/the slut comment...It's hard to be silent when u think a friend is making a mistake but u have to sit back and just let them make it sometimes & u have to admit there is a lil bit of jealousy there too, I know I've been there... LOVE LOVE LOVE YA n e way though ! ! !

A little dramatic and a little annoying in this episode...

annette wrote:

Honestly Jesse i think u were so on point when u told Rebecca off She really does come off as a slut whether she is or not the point is thats how she puts herself outhere and when u were at the bar discussing that whole Jackie and Rebecca fiasco,I truly agree that Rebecca is an opportuinist she was so hating on your relationship with Jackie and now look at her hopping on the Jackie band wagon come on give me a break shes hilarious and Jackie is kinda a funny too,I thought she didnt look at her that way whateva i think shes kinda lame for puting Rebecca b4 u is she blind cause in all reality u were there first as her friend and friends always come b4 tricks like Rebecca she needs to remember that rule. I've been watching Workout since day 1 ok and any one who says u over reacted and leave them alone can stick it u know what a mean geez.

Augie wrote:

Jessie, Jessie, Jessie, I can understand where you are coming from, seeing your friend buddying-up with someone else. I think it was the slut comment that got you all wet. I think the Rebecca and Jackie thing will cool-off eventually and become a friendship as in most lesbian relationships.

Michele wrote:

Jesse, you needed to cool your jets. I think you just don't like Rebecca. Simple and that's ok until the person you do not care for ends up dating your very good friend. Although, I am with you as far as Jackie not telling you about all this so it wasn't such of a surprise to you. You should be more upset with Jackie than Rebecca, but then again she is your boss and she is already on you to lose weight.....guess Rebecca has to suffer for that!! I will hang with you - you are always entertaining!!!! Take care!!

stacie wrote:

Jess, I like you & think you're hilarious. But I hope later on in the season you decide to lay off Jackie a little bit. If her and Rebecca aren't meant to be together, we all know it'll just deflate on it's own. Til then, you'll be the talk of Jackie and Rebecca, as they're laughing about how you're trying to get in between them. Just let things happen on their own.

michael wrote:

Jesse - think you're fantastic - my wife laughed out loud last week at the 'lesbian whisperer' line. I think you getting upset about the 2 insecure, unprofessional 'ladies' in the gym is warranted, though I think your delivery at times could be more mature. I would be pissed if one of my closest friends conducted themselves the way Jackie has without letting me know about it.

Jackie comes across as very unproffesional and uses Rebecca is her little puppet. She is using her b/c she is all about getting attention (probably the biggest reason she is also hanging on to Tiffany as well). Surprised she is choosing to destroy her image on nationwide TV.

Hang in there, pal.

oh jesse! too funny :)
being a fellow "gay" i completely understand your feelings and your need to protect your dear friend jackie. it sux when your fellow "gays" start getting all kissy kissy with the straight folk. What are their motives & intentions? Everything you said to rebecca at that table I have wondered myself. BUT! it just really isn't any of our business. I think Jackie is a big girl and is just having a good time. Oh well, just wanted to let you know that you are a lil bit understood. You're a good boy! You're intentions are pure but you kinda suck at the follow through. Stop the name calling ;)

Felix wrote:

what happened on last episode, Jesse I think you should just wait, I know is one of your best friends, but I think there are some times to don't said anything yet till is for real's, you know what I mean, she is not sure if Rebecca is really what she wants.I think that relationship wont work out because they work at the same place one is on the top of the mountain and the other one wants to clime up. but wont work out, sooner or later Jacky will realize that is not for her, you'll see,
I would like to meet you guys,> you guys are awesome

Cindy wrote:

jesse, i think you are right about all of it, you know this isn't good for jackie...and the biggest issue is if they want you to stay out of their personal life like rebecca said, then they should KEEP it personal and not make out and feel eachother up on a work retreat!

Kris wrote:

Jesse,
I see your point totally and I admire you conviction. You were right to call Rebecca what you did, I think she is one of those "GAY MAN Hating" wanna be gay-girl! Trust me if you are a gay man you have run into at least one. I thank got Jackie is not one of them.

Having said that The Rebbeca thing will blow over she will either fall on her sword because of her clingy attitude or Jackie will simply tire of her and go with, Tiffany.

The thing Jackie should have be mindful of is that Rebecca might sue her for sexual harrassment.

That's will you should not sleep with the HELP!

Ya may want to pass that on to Jackie, but it all makes for Good Reality TV!

With the exception of the Loss of Doug. It totally saddens me! Well he lived a good life and longer than his parents!

GOD BLESS him! I lost my parents when I was six years old.

It is a profound loss for all!

Take Care

Kris

Hi Jesse, This is my first time writing on your blog. I don't blame you for wanting to look out for your best friend but Rebecca isn't a lesbian, she's straight just trying something different and I don't think you have anything to worry about. She'll tire after the novelty has worn off!! Remember Ellen DeGeneras and Anne Heche!!!

I know a lot of people are giving you grief right now, but with you I really see someone who is looking out for Jackie's best interests.

I LOVE IT . wish you the best XXOO

Todd wrote:

Jesse,

Okay you were so out of line last night regarding Jackie and Rebecca. I'm not going to berate you for that however but give you something to think about. I'm a gay man also who happens to be a bit older than you. I've learned many things over the years but one thing that is most important, being a true friend means also knowing when to pick your battles. Many of my friends make choices that I don't necessarily agree with or think is the right one. However as a friend what I need to do and choose to do is support them, no matter how I feel. It is better to bite your tongue now and be there for that person if their decision does not work out. The opposite of that is doing what you did and end up losing your friend because your behavior is completely out of line. If you truly think this won't work out, it probably won't but in it's own time. And Jackie will need you more than to help her than right now berating her actions.

One other thought to all this. You carried a grudge against Doug for quite some time. And though you did make amends to a degree this season you were still a bit flippant with him at his birthday party. Remember that the words you speak today could be your last. You will never be able to take back those words with Doug. After this have you not learned that?

Jessie, Grow-Up.Why don't you just get a job as a chef in some high style restaurant where your temper tantrums will be expected. Have we forgotten last year when you trashed Jackie's house??? Leave Rebecca alone. Your jealousy is so obvious, you even write like a preschooler on your blog.Get a boyfriend so you can find it easier to mind your own business....

Rebecca(not your nemesis) wrote:

Are you trying to grow your hair out? It is just my opinion, but I like your hair better when it is combed back and not combed over to the side. For some reason you kinda remind me of PeeWee Herman when it is combed over to the side. You look great though.

Naomi wrote:

Honey, Rebecca threw that water at you because she had no choice but to stoop down to your childish level. Trust me, Rebecca can handle an argument - with an adult. You are a mean spirited person, you must really dislike yourself.

Tammy wrote:

Jesse -
Once you call a woman a "slut" you might as well pull out an umbrella & resolve yourself to a drink in the face. If she hadn't done that, she would have proven she is one. Your feelings are real, but you need to figure out how to express them in an appropriate way. You're both young. The whole exchange was not very grown up.

Jen wrote:

Go tell Rebecca her plastic goofy grin isn't lip-glossy enough to blind everyone just yet, only everyone within a 50 mile radius of a television. Maybe she will get lost. I wish she would. Attention seekers are annoying... straight girls playing the lesbian card are so transparent. I have been through this same situation with one of my friends. You are right, lesbians can not casually date. Everyone knows that when your best friend is dating someone they shouldn't, it is your reponsibilty to say something. Maybe calling them a slut or whatever isn't appropriate, but you know if you don't say anything and it goes all wrong, the best fiend always comes back to say "where were you on this? You are supposed to tell me these things." Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Jesse, Ive never written to any show, til I found out you could, HA! So I wrote to Rebecca last week @ this week, with pretty much the message, GET ON WITH HER ACTING, I feel as tho shes using the show to further her career, in (what else) ACTING!!!! Also if I remember last season correctly you, my friend got screwed when everyone came and junked Jackies house while you were in charge of house sitting; she was not a happy camper, but the two of you made up and I totally get where youre coming from. You have every right to speak your piece, but right now Jackie is territorial of Rebecca,,,1 this is new for her,,,2thats the thing about women, they side with each other, lovers, friends, whatever its the nature of law. You have so much going for you, WOW a chef, thats like my lifes dream, do all you can now life starts going by so fast, one minute your 20 then all the sudden, your 50 with grandkids and your body doesnt work so well! Just TRY to Keep cool, the more you say, or the way you act in that situation, your gonna be the "bad guy" This to shall pass and once again you'll be best buds with Jackie. Just try to say as little as possible cuz who knows how things really are now, Doug is gone,he passed in Jan,and the show hasnt even said a word about it on "our" timeline of TV, For allI know you could be on Top Chef kicking some butt there! Youd sure be a true friend, so just let it slide, no worries, best of luck, and truly think about Top Chef, you get the best of both worlds, eating great and looking good See Ya Nola

Of course Rebecca reacted with throwing water at you--what gives you the right to call her such insulting names?? Jackie is old enough to live her life and do whatever she wants and with whom..
LEAVE HER ALONE and concentrate all your energies on your OWN physical fitness and leave the girls alone......... You sound very jealous about her relationship...BEHAVE YOURSELF

Carrie wrote:

Jesse, relax. Grow up. What Jackie and Rebecca do shouldn't concern you. Their love-life should be none of your concern and quite frankly, you remind me of a 12 year old jealous child. It is quite embarrassing to watch.

HI Jesse,
You know I never thought of that,Miss Rebecca called you Jackie's bitch, where does she get off getting away with that, the ho. I am getting to dislike the ho more and more and it doesn't have anything to do with her being with Jackie, it is the way she is going about it. If they are going to get together they should keep it to themselves not broadcast it for all of the other trainers, how immature and I was so suprised that Jackie did something like that. Miss Rebecca is eating this up, she loves to see you guys sweat, I hope Jackie wises up before it is too late. Hang in there Jesse, this thing isn't going to last.

Jesse,
I try to cut you some slack most shows (even the last season). Then I think that maybe you're just acting out amd playing a role for the camera to spice up the show. I can't believe that you would disrespect a person that your best friend is interested in, let alone a co-worker. In most workplaces when one employee disrepects another employee (calling them a slut for example), it grounds for instant dismission. So, I suspect that this entire conflict must be staged for the show....You couldn't be that much of a jerk...Or that concerned about a Lesbian's relationship, being a Gay man...don't you have places to me, people to see?

Chris wrote:

Hey Jesse! Man, I love this show! Addicted. I can understand your being hurt by the whole Jackie/Rebecca thing. Yeah, she should have let people know that they were hanging out. You just don't blind side people like that. It was almost like it was for shock value. But, now you need to get over it and just be her friend. She's just coping dude. She deserves to have a good time. And if she does'nt tell you who to date; well then you can't say anything to her. Best wishes.

I have always loved you on this show! I will say that I get grossed out by the whole Rebecca and Jackie thing, perhaps because as a lesbian I despise the whole straight experimental thing. In any case, I find it interesting that on your blog they allow the negative comments, but not on other's blogs. Things that make you go ..hmm...

CassySak wrote:

Jessie,
You are absolutely right when you said that you feel that Rebecca is just being an opportunist. I can almost clearly see that a lot of the girls that really want to date Jackie are using her, all except maybe MI-MI because she was there before Jackie became quite successful. I see Rebecca as wanting to sleep with the boss for perks, advantages, job security, and all else that goes with being with someone like Jackie. IT SIMPLY IS NOT RIGHT AT ALL FOR REBECCA AND JACKIE TO BE INVOLVED AT LEAST WHILE REBECCA IS WORKING AT SKY SPORT & SPA. IT IS TOTALLY UNFAIR TO YOU ALL THAT WORK AT THAT GYM TOGETHER. Now, if they are going to continue to date, then Rebecca just should not work there then. That way there is not such a huge business ethical issue that there is. The woman who end up dating Jackie are closely gaining somewhat of a "SUGAR-DADDY" or "SUGAR-MOMMA" how ever you want to put it. Her dates will be riding in a nice BMW truck, sleeping, eating, and traveling in the lap of luxury and style. I mean Jackie owns her own high profile gym, of course she can get women, even straight women will be willing to fool around to be in the limelight, on TV, & dating someone famous in Hollywood who has money. Who wouldn't want that if they get it easily, and Rebecca being right there once Jackie just broke up with someone is way too convient. Just like you have female to male gold-diggers. I see these women as possible gold-diggers to Jackie,and Jackie is patting herself on the back thinking that she is stealing all of the straight women away from Andre,and Gregg simply for being hot.When there is more to it than her just being hot. I'm sure Jackie should be able to see that she is successful and that she has to be very careful who she lets into her world use her for her status.

I think that you have went to far several times this season. I know you are feeling alittle left out but you could have shown alittle more class and so should she. But a good friend would have told Jackie and Rebecca how they felt and left it alone. But you keep stirring the up the drama over them. The blogs between you and Doug one word childish

Astrid wrote:

Jesse,
You are not being overly dramatic. What Jackie is doing is very unprofessional and wrong. She should not be dating anyone in the workplace BECAUSE SHE IS THE BOSS. She should really act like the boss. Oh, and if she really cares about and respects everyone of her trainers like she says, she should have discussed the whole Rebecca thing with you guys out of consideration before they rubbed their noses in yall's faces!
I think you should just let them be for a while. All that comes up must come down, and this fake tempo ralationship won't last. Plus, if that's the kind of friend that Jackie is going to be to you, you don't need her anyway.
Keep your head up!!!

Man,
I think Todd was out of line. I think Anonymous was closer to the truth, though I did not agree with everything he said. I am a Gay man, out and proud, though that really does not have anything to do with me or my opinions. Grain of salt, for what it is worth. I would have been pissed at Jackie for the same reasons. Is she really a friend, or just a friendly boss? If she was a friend she would have told you about her relationship with Rebecca. Why spring that on anyone in a public place? Only because she is a co-worker. It makes a huge difference. If it was just some chick, no prob. But the Boss sleeping with an employee? Big difference. I was a business owner in the same position and I would never do what she did. Anyone that feels different has never owned a business. Jackie crossed a line that any real business owner would never cross, at least not with expectations that problems would not occur.
Be that as it may, the show is great, I get a kick out of it. Drama is why it is on the air.

Triggerman wrote:

Jesse,
What can I say that everyone has not already said? Rebecca was a bitch for throwing the water at you. It was the reaction of someone who can't express emotion in an adult way. I have been there, believe me. You were a bit wrong by getting on her and Jackie, but that does not excuse her behavior. It was childish and infantile. I would blame Jackie, though, for handling things in such a poor way. Sleep with whomever you want, but don't act like a child when people react poorly to it. I never slept with my employees, as much as I wanted to, for the same reasons. Why would anyone expect that it would not change the group dynamic? Jackie should be an adult and nut up. Your reaction, and the groups reaction, was very appropriate.
Anyway, I enjoy the show, and I have never ever emailed a show before, but I like the fact that the show is so openly gay. More power to ya'll!!

Your words at the table to her were pretty harsh, but I can't sit here and pretend I wouldn't make my displeasure known if I genuinely thought my best friend in the world was being taken advantage of so soon after leaving what Jackie herself described in therapy as a mentally abusive relationship.

I just hope it doesn't result in a bigger rift between you and Jackie, best friends are precious and all those other greeting card phrases. :)

try living ur own life and stay out of rebecca's n jackies...

n as for tiffany, please the girl just wants fame, thats y she's stickin around jackie, the woman is so straight, shes just faking it big time, and the sooner jackie sees that, the better!!!

You are lucky all you got was a glass of water in your face. Your jealousy is really very ugly. If you are truly Jackie's friend, let her figure this out on her own. She is not being abused therefore, be her friend and calm down. She might be talking to you more about it if you were a true friend and not acting like a jealous 2 year old. She looks very happy, be happy for her. They are both adults, quit trying to get camara time and be Jackie's friend. Dictionary definition of friend; 1 a : one attached to another by affection or esteem. 2 a : one that is not hostile. You need to get your own steak and french fries honey. Be Good!!

Hey Jesse, It's Jessie (yea I'm a guy too, my parents just had to put the stupid 'i' in my name. They must have known from birth I'd be gay!). I agree it's strange that Rebecca would suddenly fall for a woman. She's a trainer in Beverly Hills, I'm sure she's around many beautiful women. Conveniently she falls for Jackie (who just happens to be famous, powerful, and hot right now). Don't get me wrong, I think Jackie is AWESOME, but it seems odd that someone who usually dates men falls for the "famous" lesbian. God forbid she meet Ellen or Melissa. Anyway, your great for standing up for Jackie because she does deserve better. And one more thing...You are NOT fat!!! You are so hott (with 2 't's). Take care and keep "dry"!

Jesse: It's time to butt out of whomever Jackie chooses to date. Yes, it is awkward that you work with both Jackie and Rebecca, but beyond that, it's really not your business. Be concerned for your friend Jackie (I'd be concerned, too!) but I would still allow her to be an adult, to make her own choices, and then be prepared to offer support if and when Jackie needs it.

Okay, can I just start by saying if there were ever any doubt about Rebecca being trash- she has officially confirmed it. Jackie is really into self-gratification right now, single syndrome if you will. Which means any slut will do! We have all been there, gay or straight.
On a more positive note, my girlfriend and I love the show. Keep your head up, and use every opportunity you have getting rid of super slut - aka Rebecca.

What makes you so jealous about Jackie gettin' all up in Rebecca? You know with EVERYONE, there's room for a best friend and a girlfriend/boyfriend right......

Let Jackie enjoy her freedom from Mimi.. She's been cooped up with that relationship and wants to enjoy herself....

Heck, if she gets hurt or hurt someone, just be there for her as a friend......... That's when she'll need you the most!

I have total faith in everything you said. Rebecca is needs to grow up. She needs to quit acting like a child and start remembering the important things in life.

Jesse, you should have thrown water or worse at her. Maybe the first course... Why did she start calling you Queen and a girl. It was really funny that you called her a hooker ....she probably does not do it for money. You could have called her a Tramp that would have fit. Here's a question for you if Rebecca is at skysport...who is running hell?

Renee wrote:

Jesse:
Thanks for making the show interesting. Frankly, the name calling on both your and Rebecca's part went too far. But Rebecca's water toss reminded me too much of Jackie's previous now-completely-out-of-the-picture girlfriend. In fact, everything about Rebecca reminds me of Mimi. I think this whole thing just spells out the eventual end of Rebecca's presence on the show. I see her as being too new to her homosexuality and she just isn't handling it well or maturely. She needs some counselling and to not date her boss. It's strange, it's unethical and it's divisive. On Rebecca's own blog, she says that she can't stand secrecy! She says it's not what she is about. So why is she so non-understanding when all of the rest of the group want to know some information about the relationship? She is very insecure and, like I said, I think she, like a bad cold, will go away soon.

Keep smiling cutie! -Renee (a lesbian comfortable in her own skin)

If she doesn't want your opinion, she shouldn't have asked for it!!! I must say you handled the water in the face REALLY well! I'm getting tired of Rebecca's nonesense! And I'm SUPER surprised Jackie doesn't see Rebecca for the grotesque opportunist she obviously is! You know darn good and well if a guy was running that joint, Rebecca wouldn't be "experimenting" with lesbianism. Jackie is such a smart woman....I just don't understand this! I'm with you on the "laugh when Jackie talks to Tiffany" thing. Too much queen drama or not, this sure makes for some good TV!! :)

(no pun intended) --- more power you hottie!

Belle wrote:

This episode really upsets me. I don't understand why you would think it is your business to tell someone who they should or shouldn't have relations with. Best friends or not! If you have feelings about a friends mate then discuss it with your friend instead of lashing out at people and calling people names. I strongly disbelieve in physical contact but if i was Rebecca I would have done more than thrown water in your face. The truth is Rebecca likes authority figures and that's why she is attracted to Jackie, but she is to vulnerable for it to last. Yes Jackie will eat her and spit her out. I'm not real sure where you stand at one point you said Jackie will spit her out. Then you turn around and said you where concern about Jackie's vulnerable state with work and etc..If you think Jackie will chew her up and spit her out and you not liking Rebbecca I don't know wouldn't that make you happy. Then you sit back and watch it blow up. Right? That's what I would do. I believe you could care less about there relationship. You're just jealous because they spend time together.

Jackie, You will be fine with the Jesse and Rebecca drama as long as you know that it's only temporary. You haven't known Jesse all that long for him to be your best friend. Look 5 years down the road, I don't believe either of them will be around. You can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends. Pick true ones that will last a lifetime.

Brad wrote:

Let me start by saying I totally understand where you are coming from. Your supposed best friend lied to you by not revealing her new fixation on Rebecca and then dropped a bomb on all of you in a public place and expected everyone to just smile and be happy. You seem to be the only one who is willing to voice your concern to Jackie about her well being, but I have to say that she is a big girl and you have to let her make her own mistakes.
As a good friend, it is your place to tell Jackie (in private though) when you think she is making a mistake, but you also need to remember to not let a passing phase she is going through dictate your relationship with her. She is going to need you when this all falls through, and the three of you do still have to work together.
Rebecca is childish and coniving and she seems to be trying to bring you down to her level. Be the mature one and don't let it show that she gets on your very last nerve. I though you handled the water incident with extreme class and I would have loved to see one of the other trainers have enough "balls" to back you up.
Dating an employee is very unprofessional and the friction it has caused seems to have hurt the team and Jackie's overall objective. You can not run a business sucessfully if you don't run it with a professional attitude and refrain from tearing your team apart by driving wedges between them. I understand being single again makes Jackie want to take the opportunity to play the field and have some fun, but in a city the size of LA there are enough attractive women for her to "play" with that she doesn't need to damage her respectability by messing with an employee!
Don't get my wrong, I am not trying to blast Jackie; I think she is a wonderful and intelligent woman, and she is a wonderful representative for our community. I think she is just suffering from a bout of low self-esteem and that is why she has taken up with Rebecca. She enjoys the attention, but soon enough she will get her head on straight and realize the problems she has created.

Honestly, Rebecca is not even cute when you really look at her. Jackie will see Rebecca as she really is in time. I know as her friend you are trying to prevent Jackie from getting hurt but sometimes all we can do is stand back and let it happen even though it may be hard to do.. And you are NOT fat... In fact you look really good... I like your look and most of all your personality.. I like the way you keep your head up... I can't wait till next weeks show......

You get worked up to easily about things.You got all pissed off at Doug and it really was not as bad as you thought it was. Now he has passed and Im so happy you and him were friends again. As for Rebecca really its not your place to look after Jackie but attacking and hurassing Rebecca. You need to sit with your (best friend) Jackie and discusss your feelings with her. You are very wrong and you need to get over it , Im sorry but thats just the truth. You should be talking to Jackie , cause the way I see it is Rebecca is getting a lot of crap and she is also not really getting any respect there. If I was her I would have to think about moving to a more healthy environment for her job.

I'll spare you the tirade I've just left for Jackie in her blog; you can always read it if you wish once it gets posted.

HI Jesse,
I don't get it when someone says that you are too dramatic when it comes to Rebecca and Jackie, Jackie's little bitch is the one who is asking for it. She keeps attacking you every chance she gets just to get a rise out of you so then Jackie can defend her, she is eating it up. It kills me that anyone thinks this is such a cute couple, give me a break, first of all if Jackie was a guy and she was kissing Rebecca and then another girl came along and they started kissing in front of Rebecca, she would never have stood for it but since Jackie is her boss it is like she can't say anything, sick if you ask me. I do like Jackie a lot but in the last couple of episodes she seems to be acting so immature, just like Rebecca acts. I hope it isn't rubbing off on Jackie, she made an impression on me as being a very good business woman but I am starting to change me mind, Rebecca is going to end up getting fired or she will quit, that I doubt but one way or another she isn't going to be around too long if this crap keeps up.
Love the show

I agree with you. Rebecca is only trying to advance her career. I mean Jackie has the experiance that would make a lot of women want to try it out but, Rebecca only wants more camera time! She is nothing but Bicurious at most, I hope that Jackie keeps this casual and doesnt get hurt!
your a good friend

Jesse-
You are absolutely right about Rebecca. Does anyone recall what she said about having sex with Jackie versus a man? I believe it went like this..."sex with Jackie is like eating french fries and when I am with a man it is like eating steak." Now, this could be some sort of malapropism, but let's take it for what it is. Jackie isn't even hamburger next to the steak that is a man, she's a side Rebecca could get from McDonald's. I think you should play that piece of tape for Jackie to show her where she is on the pecking order. By the way, did anyone see shades of Mimi with the throwing of the water and the jealousy? Rebecca is bad news. When Jackie is threw with her, I can see Rebecca screaming sexual harassment and trying to get Jackie's money.

I too have been criticizing for not sitting idly by while someone stomped all over my friend and screwed with her. You are a good friend and Jackie will rue the day she disavowed your advice for cheap thrills with a cheap girl.

I am so sad about Doug. I have known for a while, but my heart breaks all over again each time I hear it.

jesse...I just wanted to remind you that I think you are the greatest(funniest, hottest, nicest) guy on reality tv. Rebecca is such an opportunist. First it's the Amazing Race, then she's suddenly attracted to a woman who is the star of Work Out. Next season she'll be kissing on and clinging to Flav on VH1.

Please go watch reruns of the amazing race and tell me that reb is nothing more than an opportunist....jackie should just close down the gym and move to ptown...
As for everyone else, sometimes it's just best to wait 3 or more seconds before you respond to someone else's drama...this may aide in keeping you out of their drama traps...

have fun..life is toooooooooooooo short

Jesse - I don't think it was nice of you to call Rebecca a slut, and I think you should back off the whole Rebecca/Jackie thing, but I also think you're right. Rebecca is doing this for career advancement and for attention, not because she truly cares about Jackie. That became very obvious when she compared sex with a man to steak, while sex with Jackie was like french fries. The girl is not a lesbian - she's just trying to play one on TV.

Dude,

You are so pathetic. If you have a problem with Jackie and Rebecca, you should mention it to Jackie and then shut the hell up. She is a big girl and can make decisions for herself. You are so self righteous-- it is hilarious to watch what a meaningless existence you have. Also, get a body man. You are not gay chubby; you are just FAT. In addition, this episode really shows that you are a DRAMA queen. You are more girlie than the women in the cast.

Hi Jesse,

I just wanted to say that as a new fan of the show, I love watching because of you. I have been reading some of the comments and must say I don't agree. I think that some of the things you've said to Rebecca may have been uncalled for since you both work together, but the way you handled the whole water in your face experience was very grown up. I probably would've thrown something back or let my temper go at that point. I can't wait to see you "redeem" yourself!

Margaret McGregor wrote:

Ugh! I wanted to jump through the TV and kill Rebecca for throwing that water in your face. What a bitch! Kind of reminds me of my EX girlfriend... Anyway, you handled the whole thing with such grace and I admire you for that. I think I would of exploded, decked the bitch thus getting myself fired from Skysoprt/Skylab. If Jackie’s mad at you for being a loyal friend then she's an idiot. If I had more friends like you life would be awesome. Take care and avoid beverages being thrown in your direction.

Jesse i think you are so hot!!! But really you just need to lay off poor rebecca, you are acting like a jealous boyfriend with jackie. Just go with the flow and let them do their thing.

Jessee, jesse,jes... what is your deal. It looks like you want to be Jackie's girlfriend. Get the change and see if she will date your chubby ass...you should be worried about losing that extra junk in your trunk and dropping a couple of bra sizes... WOW. Even if you thought someone was a slut it is still none of your business.

Christianne wrote:

Jesse, you handled that extremly well! Beckers makes me sick, she's such a wanna be lez. Give me a break. Jackie can have fun with her but she is far from the real deal...kinda scanky actually.

i really think that you should probably live the whole jackie and rebecca thing alone because if there is one thing that i have learned and self centered people is that they love to break up a good freindship so let her dig her own grave i think jackies smart enough to not fall for those baby face of please come to my rescue im so damage at least we would hope. i mean how did she get this far. just cherish your friendship keep strong.

I completely understand where you're coming from. Granted that I like seeing Jackie happy, to date someone from the work place is completely unprofessional. You didn't deserve to get water thrown in your face, but don't call anyone a slut. That's just mean! Love ya Jesse!

Tamara Tillman wrote:

LOL, Dude that was so funny when Rebecca threw that glass of water at Jesse. I think she should have took the high road in the situation and just ignored him or just started calling him names. But I also think that Jesse might be bisexual because when he sees Jackie with other women and gets very mad!!!!

just my 2 skittles from the bag!!!!

kellie wrote:

I couldn't imagine having to work with someone as negative and in your face as Jesse. I think he is secretly in love with Jackie and can't deal with her dating Rebecca.He should be embarrassed by his actions and comments to Rebecca , you can see the jealousy in his eyes !! I can't imagine how we would react to a straight man speaking to a woman that way.

New York Viewer wrote:

I can kinda understand your reservations and concerns regarding Jackie and Rebecca's relationship, with the surprise and secrecy factor and you being a close friend and all, but eventually you need to let Jackie live her own life and just "be there" as her friend when and if she needs one. The way things are going now, I don't think Jackie feels comfortable discussing parts of her personal life with you because as she said before, she gets negative vibes from you and it brings her down. And if you were her best friend as you say you are, then I would think you'd want her to feel as if she could come to you with "anything." The way you're acting now it's a wonder she'll ever be able to confide in you again. Think about it.....

Joy wrote:

Jesse,
You are such a drama queen.. If you were such a good friend, where were you when Jackie was having all the issues with Mimi. Didn't see you giving advice then. I hope you do redeem yourself, because everytime you come on I can't wait for you to just go away..

Andrea wrote:

First off, Jesse- your awesome and such a hottie! I think you handled yourself well after the water in the face and I thought it was funny. She was so ticked you didnt get pissed off and leave. As for Jackie and Rebecca dating, I think you have a right to be a little upset that you didnt find out earlier about them. I know I would be tiffed if my BF kept something like that from me. It actually sickens me to watch thewir make-out sessions, just soemthing about the two is sickening.
I also wanted to offer my condolences (sp?) about Doug and give big :hugs:

"Trust me, DARLING, I have plenty going on in my own life!" Awesome, maybe the best line so far this season and T-shirt material. I can watch that scene of Rebecca throwing water at you over and over again. BOTH your reactions are priceless! Jesse, find you amazing on the show, but when Jackie enters the room and you do the whole 'She threw a drink at me' spiel, I was wondering whether Doug wasn't right with his Jack from WILL & GRACE comment after all, cause that who you reminded me of. :-)
Season 2 is so much better than the first season, I think it also handles drama (Doug's illness and ultimately his death, VERY sad, and the session at the end of this episode) amazingly well for a show of its format! Keep going!

Jesse,

I can understand your frustration because Rebecca is unbelievably annoying. You shouldn't have called her a slut, but you know that. I think that Jackie and Rebecca are handling dating each other in the wrong way. If they want to be so open about their relationship then they should talk about it more with the staff, because I think that's important to do if you are dating a coworker.

On that note though, I agree with you that REbecca became interested in Jackie to advance her career. I happen to know Rebecca's recent ex-boyfriend who said that that was her agenda. She felt that this was her time to gain some fame. I think that's pretty pathetic of her, and I don't need to see anymore of Rebecca's heinous face with her lips that are always coated in too much lip gloss.

Michael Jones wrote:

JESSE, Even though the reality is that Jackie is just chasing ass right now, it would have been smarter to let this love triangle burn itself out and stay out of it. I know your heart is in the right place, but people do not want to hear themselves being called sluts. Remember, when it hits the ropes, Jackie will need a friend.

HOWEVER, I must say my evil twin would have splashed the water back in the face of that chocalate eating bimbo.

DonkeyPunched wrote:

I think you were right to call Rebecca on her crap...She does not like Jackie for real, she is just using her, wether she is aware of it or not.

Besides, it is not very professional to date someone in the team in that manner, particulary if you are the boss. Jackie should know better.

Joyce wrote:

Jesse,
I love this show so much. I love everyone on the show, and miss Doug immensely.
I just wanted to tell you that you just seem like such a sweet person.I think you are right about
Jackie and Rebecca. But C'est la vie, my friend..... what can you do? It is a tv show and meant for entertainment people!!!
I love the show and everyone on it!!

Alejandra wrote:

Jesse,
I'm sure you are a great person and fun to be around with, but to be honest it's not your problem who Jackie decides to date. If you are a true friend to her, give her some space. You should only want her to be happy. She's an adult and she should know what she is getting into. If she feels she's happy right now with Rebecca, let her be. I'm sure those 2 will not stay together 4 ever, but right now it seems like fun. And trust me, they look super hot together. It's just good TV for now.
Relax. Give Jackie a break. Anyway, you don't look so good when you seem so jealous of them. It shows a side of you that it's not too appealing. And I say it just to be honest with you.
Take care, eat less, workout more, and be happy!

Jesse:
Kudos for keeping your cool with "REBA" dousing you; I just hope it was EVIAN! Let them do what they want even though it does demonstrate lack of tact and integrity especially on Jackie's part. If you decide to "do" the boss then do it on your own time and not in the workplace where it makes everyone uncomfortable.
I love everyone on the show but I do miss Doug. He was my age and he gave me a bit of inspiration to keep on training. Have any of the trainers thought about riding LIFECYCLE in honor of Doug? I have seen his foundation but since you guys are all so fit and like a challenge you should think about it. I rode them 5 years in row; 2 California, Boston-New York, Alaska and Canada-US when Palotta Team works ran them and we all know what happened with that. All in all it is a great adventure and helps so many.
Keep up the good work and hope you can share some quick healthy recipes with me and the fans.

Well, personally, given the crap that was coming out of her mouth, I don't see how she could reasonably expect you not to respond in kind. You showed admirable restraint when she became violent. You would have been well within your rights to smack her.

I understand your frustration. She is a cheap, irritating slut who is using her vagina to grab the attention of both jackie and the camera. However, that's just who she is, and you will probably save yourself a lot of needless irritation by just accepting it and directing your anger where it belongs: on Jackie. Jackie is the one who is cutting you out of the friendship, and Jackie is the one who is enabling Rebecca to disrupt the office. And in terms of the constant rejoinders to 'mind your own business,' well, when they flaunt things so publicly, they are making it the business of everyone at the gym. And as the owner, that really has to be owned by Jackie as well.

Nevertheless, You should probably just suck it up and ignore it as best you can. Getting involved isn't going to do anyone any good, and will only further distance you from Jackie. Given Jackie's history, being her friend is most likely always going to involve have to tolerate a bunch of incredibly irritating bimbos. That's just what she likes, and I doubt any friend will ever change her.

This isn't to demonize Jackie by the way - like the rest of us, she is a flawed person, and though I'm not thrilled with some of those flaws, I'm awed by her candor.

Jesse, you are the coolest! I love the way you didn't leave the table after Rebecca threw water on you. Good for you!

Jonathan wrote:

I cannot believe she threw that water on you. You did not deserve that. The only reason why Rebecca is being with Jackie is to be in the spot light because she was jealous of Jackie and you always having the cameras on you guys. She is a slut always walking around talking about penis's.

John wrote:

I think you thrive on the attention you get from making a big deal out of nothing. For example: You getting mad at Doug (you dont deserve his forgiveness) and your jelousy of Rebecca (you deserved that water in your face) I say this because i used to be the same way. I would get mad at small things to draw attention to myself. And just because you gay does not mean you have the right to call a woman a slut... I think if one of the straight guys said that too rebecca they would have gotten punched in the face.

Chelsea wrote:

JESSE! i love you sooooooooo much! i think you are hilarious, but maybe you need to work on your comebacks. (although i think it is very chivilrous of you to let Rebecca's skank @$$ off so easy). seriously tho, i thought that you handled yourself SO well when she threw the water at you. I think that i, as well as you and your fellow employees, are just confused that one day rebecca is flashing a picture of a penis and talking about how much she loves penis, and then almost the next second she is bi or whatever. i know it may seem hard but sometimes, you just have to let your friends go. if they crash and burn they will come back to you and then you can just hug them and tell them "i told you so". plus, IF jackie ever seriously pursues rebecca... the little twirp will freak out and realize that she bit off more than she could chew. i am in support of ya. ps.... the people who left you those mean messages have NO idea what they are talking about. lol. PEACE OUT!
