Meanwhile, Jillian sets her sights on Alex and is itching for a confrontation. She wants Alex to run six miles an hour for five minutes, and tells her that every day on the ranch she should be bringing her A game instead of phoning it in, as she is wont to do. Alex gives up on the treadmill run a minute in, and Jillian tells her that it's unacceptable. Alex starts again, and once again stops after a minute. She says that she's trying her best, but Jillian argues that it's not, pointing out that Alex works out for two hours at a pop three times a day, and there's no way she can't jog at 6.0 for five minutes. Then she looks around the room and sees a whole bunch of folk phoning it in. Wondering what fresh madness is this, she grabs Gina and tells her not to speak, but to run for five minutes at a 6.0. Bob and Dolvett look on nervously as Gina stops, even after Jillian turns down the speed. Jillian wonders aloud what is wrong with "you people," and then calls the trainers over for a little talk. She asks them (via yelling) if it's okay that they have contestants who can't run for five minutes in the third month of the competition. Dolvett says that they should be able to do it by now, noting that he's seen Gina do it. And then Gina starts to storm out of the gym again!
Jillian calls her back to scream at her a bunch, and Gina in turn screams back at Jillian. Oh girl, you shouldn't a done that. Jillian yells at Gina to get out, then yells at Dolvett and Bob for accepting this behavior. Bob tells her to take a breath, and points out that Gina is the biggest loser in the house. But Jillian wants the contestants to put aside their narrative of being weak failures at least momentarily, and not quit after a minute. Dolvett says that you usually have to yell at Gina to do something thrice, and then she does it. And he's positive that he can get Gina to run for five minutes. If they can find her, since she's already made it back to her bedroom at this point. Since Gina's not there to yell at, Jillian kind of insults Bob for being a "soft place to land" and the "best day ever" for lazy bastards. She then says that Bob and Dolvett need to take over while she calms down and ruminates upon this unacceptable behavior. Bob asks why it's unacceptable, and Jillian notes that they're squandering the opportunity of a lifetime and need to rise to the occasion. If they're going to quit, Jillian doesn't need to deal with them. For the contestants not to meet the trainers halfway is unacceptable. Bob finally agrees that it IS unacceptable, and Jillian wants him to tell the contestants that. She turns the situation over to him, then leaves. Now EVERYONE is nervous.
