Greg Plitt makes a splash on 'Work Out' premiere

Lutherville native Greg Plitt made his debut in the third-season premiere of Work Out last night. (Find a video preview and a link to an interview with him here.)

He admitted in the story that the show is all about the drama (real drama? manufactured drama?), but it was still pretty surprising to see him, as the new guy, in the first episode:

* Taking off his shirt during his first training session with a client

* Butting heads with gym owner (and star of the show) Jackie Warner over the new staff uniforms (which she designed herself).

* Showing up late to a party with coworkers -- and bringing a client as a date.

Off to a good start, dude.

And a little note for reality-TV synergy fans: How weird was it to see Sarah Kozer from Joe Millionaire again? (She was training in the gym.) Like it's not already weird enough to see Rebecca from The Amazing Race on this show!

What did you think of the premiere?

Then came Survivor and American Idol, and suddenly, the genre was everywhere. She started blogging about it for The Baltimore Sun in January 2006 and has logged more hours watching and writing about such shows as Dancing With the Stars, Big Brother and, of course, Idol, than she'd like to admit. At the moment, she's getting a true reality check on maternity leave with her first child.
