Season 3, Episode 10: The Yips

Wow, that makes me want to join a gym, so I can get super strong and punch you really hard in the face.

Ted convinces the group to join a gym so they can get in shape.

Lily feels threatened when Marshall’s trainer is really hot.  But Marshall finds out that Trish, the trainer, she is super intense.

Robin isn’t wearing makeup or nice clothes and no one can believe how not pretty she is like that.

Barney runs into Rhonda, the woman he lost his virginity to.  But, Rhonda doesn’t remember him.  Ted suggest that perhaps he wasn’t that good at sex, it being his first time, so Barney tells the the story of how after he broke up with his girlfriend, and was still a virgin he went to his brother James.  This being before James was gay.  So James gave him the advice of having sex with a woman to get over his relationship.  Barney has no confidence, and James suggests Rhonda because she’s slept with like every guy around.  Thus, Barney goes to Rhonda’s and sleeps with her and she says that it was the best sex she’d had.

Lily gets a trainer to, but Marshall can’t stand that the guy is stretching her out.

Barney goes to talk to Rhonda again, and reminds her of their time together.  Ronda admits that James came to her and told her to tell Barney he was the best she’d ever had, in exchange for James sleeping with her.  Barney is crushed to find out that he wasn’t that great that time.

Lily calls Marshall’s trainer and yells at her, but it doesn’t solve anything.

Barney is going to prove how much of a man he is at the after party of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.  But when Barney starts talking to the models he’s using incredibly lame lines, and being horribly offensive.  Turns out he’s got the yips, but he keeps trying.  He tries to talk to Heidi Klum, they explain the situation, and she tells him he needs to go to Rhonda and prove what a man he is to her.

Barney goes to Rhonda’s, but she won’t have sex with him.  Barney ends up horribly depressed, and isn’t even wearing a suit.

Marshall is in pain, and Lily’s trainer wasn’t actually with the gym so they’re both going to quit.  Ted wants them to all keep going, and they realize that Ted wasn’t working out there at all.  So they set him up with Marshall’s trainer.  Who tortures him.

Rhonda finds Barney at the bar and tells him that Ted told her what was going on.  Rhonda says that sleeping with her again isn't going to solve anything.  So instead she plays Go Fish with him, in an effort to show him how great it is to just spend an evening with someone without an agenda.  Neither really believes it and they end up sleeping together.  He totally rocks her world, and Barney’s back!

Everybody’s really enthusiastic about the gym, but they never go back.

The Mother- I love that every so often, the episode is about somebody other than Ted.  I love getting to see Barney not as a suave, smooth womanizer, but as a total idiot.  And I love that Wayne Brady was back!
