  Breast implants don't make me angry, but the women who get them surgically implanted into themselves just to make men look at them makes me sad and makes me look at those poor low self esteemed women with pity.

  I don't really think that this situation really qualifies as a "b---- fight". I think what is going on here is that Jackie and her assistant, Lisa, made comments that were unprofessional in an environment where people should feel safe and supported (and in which Jackie herself is constantly calling other people out on their "unprofessional" behavior, which she clearly feels herself above). Furthermore, the fact that she chose to fire the trainer who asked her to apologize to the client for the comment that was made makes this whole thing sound like a pride thing or a test of the ego--I'd say this has far more to do with Jackie and her behavior than it does a heated feud between two women. And I hate to say it, but I don't think society's treatment of women was a factor in this at all. I don't think the comment was made in a passive-aggressive way because Jackie and Lisa felt they had no other way of addressing the subject. I think it was just a reflection of the kind of environment that the gym is, in spite of what it's owner says to the contrary.

  Jackie would never tolerate such unprofessional behavior from her trainers. Apparently the same rules don't apply to her. She had no right to fire Brian. She was out-of-line and he wanted an apology made to his client. I love the show, but am disappointed in Jackie...Don't know if I'll keep watching.

  It's one thing if you had to have your breasts surgically removed due to cancer. But when did it become normal to fill yourself with plastic to make you more "attractive"? This is akin to that victorian trend of wearing corsets that squashed your internal organs to make the waist an unnatural sixteen inches!

  Did anyone actually watch this episode? Jackie didn't make the comment towards the client, her assistant did. What Jackie really needs to do is dump her assistant, that girl is always trying to start stuff in the gym, she must have been planted there by Bravo to kick the drama level up a notch.

  Jackie is so immature. For her to be a business woman and always calling her trainers out for being unprofessional is a double standard on her part. First she should never had been talking about other people with one of her staff. Jackie's problem is that she tries to have her cake and eat it too. She is the boss and a business woman and therefore she should act like one. She had a relationship with one of her trainers how unprofessional is that? And people actually expect her to behave like an adult? I don't understand why anyone would give their money to Jackie or any of her trainers for that matter. Skylab is all about Jackie and anyone else that happens to get in her way.

  I completely agree with Niki D--that assistant (she is so unremarkable that I can't remember her name)--seems like a very unnatural addition to the show and doesn't fit in at all. I'm disappointed in the current season.

  I don't even watch the show. But hello ladies you are such haters, who cares if someone has fake boobs, it's none of your business. If you don't like them don't get them. I would love to have some myself. Women hating on other women, get real we have men for that. I bet your wearing make-up, why I wonder, isn't that also fake.

  I saw the episode, and I don't think it was confirmed that Jackie said anything. It was Lisa the assistant commenting on the implants. I agree with the others who said that Lisa is added drama. That girl is in everyones business! As far as implants go, I feel that it is a personal decision that everyone is entitled to. Who cares if they have a low self-esteem, or their just doing it for a man!? Who are you to decide what is right for an individual you know nothing about? I've never had any plastic surgery, but I have not completely ruled it out either. I'll be damned to let a stranger tell me what's right for me! So....God forbid anyone lose a boob from breast cancer, but if that happens, and you decide that you rather fill yourself with "plastic" to capture that feeling of normalcy that you've lost...then you go girl! It is totaly your business, and I wouldn't blame you. The same people who make comments on fake boobs are the same people who will make comments on a woman with one boob, so you can't win.

  I too have been guilty of watching this show and also Bravo's mean girls. I think there is definatly guilty pleasure in watching woman or girls fighting and being mean to one another, maybe it goes back to our own childhood of when sometime or other that we were picked on or poked fun of by a bully, and see this as revenge, as the reinactment on the screen. Oh and by the way , breast implants don't make me angry especially if the lady had cancer and they helped her in her recovery. Also to the editor of this article I noticed the word weetabix, myself being a Brit I love that cereal !!!
