* StraightGay: Based on Barbra Jean's account, Jordan, her fitness trainer, is gay. We never see him acting in any stereotypical gay manners, though.

* VisualInnuendo: Barbra Jean's exercise regimen with Jordan has quite a few examples of this -- for example, when Jordan is spotting Barbra Jean with weight-lifting, his own crotch is barely half a foot[[note]] 15 centimeters or so, for anyone who's into metrics[[/note]] above Barbra Jean's face. The conclusion Reba draws, not knowing much about [[StraightGay Jordan]], doesn't ease her mind (or Brock's, since she goes to the gym in the first place largely because Brock wants her to check up on Barbra Jean to make sure she's not having an extramarital affair).
-->'''Reba''': (to Brock) I don't know if they're having an affair or not, but if they keep working out like that they might be having a baby.

* BrawnHilda: Dot, a gym trainer portrayed by Creator/DotMarieJones, is a very muscular woman.


Added DiffLines:

* NonIndicativeName: Dot, contrary to her name, is a BrawnHilda whose appearance frightens Reba so much that Reba curls into the fetal position at the sight of her.
** This gets one more mention between Brock and Reba after the latter returns from the gym:
--->'''Brock''': Well? Is he [Jordan] small? Can I take him?
--->'''Reba''': He's big, but not as big as [[BrawnHilda Dot]].

Added DiffLines:

* PoorPredictableRock: This episode shows that Van's "system" when he plays RockPaperScissors is this trope, though it's scissors that he always picks in this case
** It gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] near the end of the episode when Jake and Van are about to have a go with RockPaperScissors.
--->'''Jake''': You're going to pick scissors, aren't you?

* AnalogyBackfire[=/=]ComplimentBackfire: After Barbra Jean loses a lot of weight, Van starts to gawk at her a lot more, upsetting Cheyenne. Barbra Jean's attempt at making Cheyenne feel better does no favor for the latter.
-->'''Barbra Jean''': Don't get upset, Cheyenne. You're like a bleached-out... [[Series/TheBradyBunch Jan Brady]].
-->'''Cheyenne''': Jan? [[FlatWhat Jan Brady.]] I'm Marcia. Marcia, Marcia, MARCIA!!! *storms off*

* DreamSequence: The episode begins with Van complaining to Cheyenne that food items in the house are getting scarce, which is implied to be the result of Reba eating about all the available food choices, especially once Reba, shown to have become overweight, enters the kitchen with a box of pizza in hand. Van asks Reba why she eats so much, before Barbra Jean enters the kitchen, sporting a much thinner body, prompting Van to remark that Barbra Jean and Reba standing next to each other makes them resemble the number 10. The scene fades away at this point and shows that the whole sequence has been AllJustADream Reba had while taking a nap.

* RealAfterAll / OrWasItADream: Zigzagged. The episode starts with a DreamSequence, during which Reba is shown to have become obese, whereas Barbra Jean, who makes her entry after stating "[[CatchPhrase Yoo hoo! I'm here! And I'm thin!]]", is shown to be quite slender (Van remarks with "Do you see that, Cheyenne? They look just like the number 10.") When Reba wakes up, she checks her body and is glad she's not as obese as she appeared to be in the dream -- then cue Barbra Jean using the same CatchPhrase she had during the DreamSequence, coming into the house, and looking as thin as she appeared to be during the DreamSequence.
