Taken Out of Context
If you haven't been following the lively chatter on "Mrs. Poop's Evening Workout" here's what you missed.
The reality show taping at Mrs. Poop's gym in Fair Lawn really was Undercover Boss: Retro Fitness. Mrs. Poop took the kids that night but didn't really see much filming going on. And they certainly didn't get in the background of any shot.
But there is still a reason to watch the episode when it airs April 26.
As the commenters, including Jackie's mother, told us, Jackie (Jacqueline Colluci) got fired. One poster, claiming to be her best friend says Jackie was set up and made to look bad for entertainment purposes. What did she say? What did she do?
Now I have to see the whole episode to understand, but I certainly know reality TV is not reality, in fact much of it isn't even unscripted anymore. I do have a hard time believing that Jackie was a model employee and they were just looking for some fun so they fired her. I would believe though that she was asked leading questions, and pushed into venting about some bad customers.
I'm just sorry it turned out this way I would have much preferred the show to have found some single mom with a young sick kid in Fair Lawn to whom they could have bestowed thousands of dollars in gifts. A shame for Jackie and a shame for Fair Lawn.

I love that show. Definitely need to watch this one.
Well, since your wife is a regular at the gym, what does she think of Jackie as an employee? Was she as horrible as the show portrayed her?
Mrs. Poop is the nicest quietest person you will ever meet. She didn't have a single negative thing to say about Jackie until we started hearing what was going on. But even a mean nasty person like Jackie was portrayed to be, would be nice to Mrs. Poop, because she would give you no reason not to be.
