Gregg- you are so hot I can hardly stand it. Seriously, I can understand your frustration with the whole situation with Zen and I can understand why you did what you did. It looked like you handled it with grace, and I'm glad everything worked out for the better.Keep on keeping on, I'll see you next Tuesday (even though you won't see me...).

Hey new I just wanted to say something, REALLY why would you think that telling a white girl that you made a mistake in past of hitting someone that called you the unthinkable, DID you hear that comment she made, she stated 'just because someone called you a name, in society eyes(in other words non-african) you are looked at far worst in the eyes of the law(white america),
I can't believe you were involved with her in the first place.

I admire your courage for dealing with the court issue. In our country, unfortunately, some folks just don't "get" it. Despite years of progress, people of color, religious minorities, and gay people, all of us, have to deal with bias and hatred. Your willingness to share your story is a great way to get people thinking about prejudice in our country. Bravo!!!

Greg,

It amazes me, that you didn't get it! Zen was right when she stated that you must make your actions, your responsibility. However, how can you truely expect for her to understand and provide the emotional support that you needed when she is not a black woman who truely can understand what you went through. She can't imagine how someone could get angry because someone else has judged everything about your integrity and character just by your skin color, she's never had that problem!! It's obvious and great that you are a person who does not judge by skin color, but all I'm saying is don't expect anyone else not too, and don't be bothered by others lack of support and sympathy to it!

I'm not really surprised that Zen didn't get you in this episode Gregg. My VERY best friend is white, and apparently COMPLETELY oblivious to color differences when ever we're out. She ALWAYS thinks I'm being too sensitive if I feel someone acted out of line based on my skin. It absolutely drives me insane! Personally I hope you knocked the jerk into next week LOL!

Dump that friendship with Zen! How RUDE is she?!?!

I have become a big fan of yours by way of Tess - loved her last time, love her now. You seem to know what you're doing in the gym - now get a clue in the love/friend area and kick Zen to the curb!

Gregg,
Long time no chat! Good to see you (on my tv anyway). I was actually more shocked that this was your first court appearance, jk. Stop being a stranger and get to C-bus soon. Can't wait for the cd. It comes out about the same time I graduate from nursing school-stop picturing the outfit, it's realy not that cool! Be in touch.

I have to say, I love all of the trainers. But I thought maybe Zen misunderstood what Gregg was asking her. Maybe Gregg should have been more clear about why he wanted Zen there. And why didn't it work out for them. He is a doll and she is adorable. I hope them best for them both. Marti Reyes-Houston

i think you may have blown the whole Zen thing out of proportion. i do realize what we see on the show may not be the whole story, but it seemed that you kind of threw the court thing at her out of the blue. on the show when you asked her, you did make it sound a little grim. and you really did not explain the situation very well. i myself was thinking why is he not taking this seriously? why is the lawyer not going? having been in a little trouble myself, i have never heard of anyone facing a possible felony charge without a lawyer present. so i think you should give her a break on this issue. i thought she sounded really concerned for you, but a bit uncomfortable to be asked to go with you for support, when you did not seem to understand the gravity of the situation. i'm not saying you did'nt understand, but on the show it did not look like you did. then you seem to be condeming this imaginary relationship that she did not even seem to know existed. and you never really spoke to her directly about it to give her a chance to give her side. but you are still young and like i told Peeler, you have plenty of time to fine tune yourself. you of course do not have to explain yourself or your actions to anyone, but just take a little time now and then to reflect on them in an unbiased way to make sure you are letting people see the "real" you. you seem to be a very intelligent, well spoken, dignified man who just happens to be gorgeous. don't let that change.

Gregg,

yo are so damn HOT!! I wish I still lived in LA and not OC. You are SO sexy and sensitive and amazing. Even though I'm 38 and you're...way younger. You'd make me re-think my rule about no younger guys. Zen is an idiot to have a guy like you chasing her and not responding. Either that or gay, or really holding back.??? Seriously, I wish you the best and post when your next show is so we can all go!!

Take care, Greg! :)

Hey Gregg! Congrats on getting through court, but I never had a doubt you wouldn't go to jail. The dork got exactly what he had coming to him - like, when you call Domino's, don't be surprised when you get a pizza! I think it totally sucks that Zen wouldn't go to court with you - whether or not she agrees with what you did doesn't matter, it's about supporting a friend asking for support. But, don't be too hard on her. A str8, cute white woman probably has no idea how much discrimination and hatred suck - coming from a gay man who's had bricks thrown at him from passing cars. Keep on smiling! You're an AWESOME addition to the cast!!!

Isn't it amazing how someone's true colors shine through on specific events. Certain words spark different reactions. Many individuals know this and still feel it's okay to speak the "unmentionable words" believing they can get away with it. WHATEVER!! Unless you've witnessed this first hand, it is difficult to grasp--like Zen. I, too, am from Ohio and realize your problems with discrimination and prejuice. People should look beyond just the color of someone's skin but it just represents how our country still needs to grow. (I'm actually very fair skinned and still have the burden of hearing the crap) It's unfortunate and I feel bad that you had to experience this grief; yet relieved to hear you weren't severely punished. You are a great asset to the show and very easy on the eyes. Hope all goes well for you... Take care!

Greg,
I'm truly glad everything was resolved positively with your legal situation. I think if you had been having that discussion with 'another' person of color, the response may have been, how bad did you break his jaw? Not that striking is the solution to everything, but you can't expect a white woman to understand or relate to being called a racially inflammatory name. Zen is tired, at BEST. You need some brown sugar in your life, anyway.

I'm glad you and Zen worked things out. Coming from a family of lawyers myself, I've heard the horror stories of common sense meets court(non)sense.

I've got a question/challenge for you! As a result of several long-term illnesses, I'm on steroidal hormone replacement, thyroid medication, and daily pain medication for chronic migraines. Add to this that any fluctuations in blood pressure (e.g., cardio workouts) will actually trigger a migraine. Needless to say, I put on some pounds. I've always been at or underweight, and in a year I gained 80 pounds. I've also lost most muscle from a sedentary lifestyle (due to the migraines) over the past 5 years.

I recently underwent surgery for an Occipital Nerve Stimulator to bring my migraines under control, but BP fluctuations still send me into agony. I'm on disability so I can't afford a private gym or a personal trainer. Where can I go? What can I do (besides diet*)? If I do find a trainer, what questions should I ask to make sure they'll be a good fit for me and will respect my limitations? What are my options?

*I have funky food limitations and allergies and blood sugar needs, so dieting is right out. Adjustments are okay, but as with the BP, drastic is no-go.

Thank you in advance...

Hey, how are you?

I wanted to tell you that I think that you are a nice addition to the workout family. But, I also wanted to say.........how in the world did you expect a white girl to understand what it feels like to have someone of another race call you such a derrogatory name? She will never understand the dept of the pain that you felt at that percise moment and no matter how hard you try to skate around the issues (black and white) there are just some things that just are or are not. Her understanding or perception of this situation will never be.

I was really embarrassed at how lame you are for chasing Zen who could care less about you. I wish you were white and I am sure she does too. Did that ever dawn on you. She probably can't take you home to her parents. She was so heartless and what do you expect? Did you think she notices that you grew up in the suburbs of Ohio and not the hood? Did you think she would hear the clear vernacular in your spoken words. Naw partner... all she sees is what we see. Another lame brother. You should have went to jail for crying wolf.
