"Jodi's 'bosoms of healing' " |
What the heck! Major, major yuck factor when Jodi pulled Christie's head down "to her bosom" and stroked her! This was just over the top! The cameraman certainly lingered over their little tableaux. Jodi seems to roam around looking for victims to cradle. I was quite worried for Bethany while she was relaxing on her bed. I felt like any second Jodi was going to join her for a smotherfest! I have a huge personal space - even when waiting in a line - but I'd be going nuts with Jodi around. Ewwww! JMO....What does everyone else think? Over the top - or not?

Perhaps she's got a ton of maternal nurturing energy with no kid(s) to direct it to. So she tries to mother everyone who crosses her path-- the sqiushy hugs, the sweet voice, and and calling everyone "honey."

I haven't seen today's episode, so thanks for the warning - seriously. Someone needs to give Jodi a big androgenous teddy bear, tie her to a chair, duct tape a gigantic pacifier on her mouth, and handcuff her. Or better yet, just kick her out.

Jodi's behavior of late has my last nerve tingling. I simply cannot abide her nosy, better-than-thou, all-consuming desire (no pun intended) to consume everyone and be the center of the universe. It is possible that she will turn her business savvy, which she consistently brags about, to life coaching!! It certainly cannot be in the area of a healthy lifestyle or weight loss, eh?

Hey, being loving and nice is really great and welcomed when it is SINCERE and appropriate. The world needs more of it! It's not so good when it is Jodi's brand-- she herself seems really needy when she does it. She's got it dialed up to "10" regardless of her relationship with the recipient or the situation.
But generosity of spirit is something to strive for. It can be done modestly and quitely, too.

Maybe she has spent too much time around Iyanla with her bosom squishing hugs. Jodi sure seemed to be fumbling for things to say in order to keep Christie so close to her. I notice she does that often when she is hugging other HG's-she talks slow and stumbling and like she can't think of things to say. JOdi needs a body pillow to maul or something

I agree with the yuck-factor.And what made it worse was her softly running her fingers up and down Christie's arm. I have never been comfortable with physical touch outside of my boyfriend though. Not from my family or friends. I think "touchy-feely" people need to gauge how the other person reacts though. It sceeves me whenever I see it because that's how I percieve it but other people may welcome such physical contact. But I think it should start off in a subdle way - a hand on the shoulder or something, not pulling someone into you like Jodi did today. (I'm just using that as an example because she's touched Christie before and she may seem fine with it.)

Funny thread title Stormchaser!As inappropriate(over familiar) as it seems to appear to the audience it seems strange that none of the HG's seem to object verbally,move away,back off or avoid Jodi's attention.It seems welcomed and even in some cases encouraged.So either they welcome it, they're uncomfortable mentioning it or they don't care.And to be fair some of the other HG's do similar things.Although apparently not quite as often or as exuberantly as Jodi does.I'm not sure what role editing played in emphasizing that.She does seem to be wearing more flattering clothes at least.

I guess if Christie didnt like it she would do something aboutit. Even if I hated how it looked and would never ever allow it, it is an individual thing, and Chrisitie must have been comfortable with it.

Well my family and I would probably gross all of you out. Were very huggy and snuggley. My hubby and I didnt have a lot of hugs and attention growing up so when we had our daughter we showered her with it and it just sort of stayed with us. I am a very affectionate person but not with strangers or aquaintenses.It would bother me if someone I didnt know or know well did that to me. Usually though you can tell when someone isnt into that and you just dont go and invade their space. xxxooo to all! He,he.

I think people will accept a lot of strange, uncomfortable behavior in order not to seem mean - especially if they feel it's "coming from a good place". As I matured, I learned not to fear setting boundries. After Christie was free of Jodi, she was clutching a pillow - maybe to keep Jodie at bay? Again, I say: call in Caesar Milan, a.k.a. the "Dog Whisperer".

"Bosoms of healing"??? That is hilarious!!!! But yes, IMHO, Toadie's starting to really act a little familiar with people. I have never in my life been treated like that by a friend except when my mother died. WTF is up with all her long drawn out hugging??? EEWWWWWW..... Kinda creepy if you ask me.

Also, I think that with the cameras rolling they don't want to seem mean or rejecting, so they put up with Toadie. Toadie aside, the affection among the other HG's seems more of the innocent girly/sorority type. i.e - plopping down on the couch next to each other, holding hands - occasional hugs, etc. Only Toadie's outrageous Stroke-n-Smother Breast-Fests are oddball.

Being pulled to another woman's fat bosom has nothing to do with the normal, healthy touching and hugging that goes on in most families. This was weird and yucky, and they were both their jollies.

Bugaloo, you are so funny - esp. your posts about Christie! I, too thought that same thing about how a Mother behaves quite differently in how she comforts a child. Jodi offered instead a Smothering Breast-fest with some tickling thrown in for good measure.

LMAO!! That is the first thing I thought of when I started reading this thread. What if Jodi ever tried to mother smother Prison Mama Kelly!! I almost think I'd pay to see that one. On the other hand, thinking about the yuck factor, I take that back. Actually though, I never really thought much about Jodi until the past few episodes and she really is getting on my nerves. She talks about how successful she is in business, but I'm just not seeing it. Has she ever mentioned what kind of business she's in because IMO, no matter where they go or what they do, she always looks like a rag, except when she got the makeover before that date night. She kept up that look for what....? all of 4 hours? She could be attractive if she tried, but I just don't see the Janis Joplin do with a business suit. And don't get me wrong, peeps, I like curly hair and I think her's could be really stylish, if she tried a new way of wearing it every other week or something.

Since The Mop has so much success and money, why doesn't she pay for "Sweet Girl's"--I gagged when she called her that while they were spooning--arm surgery done and then we could at least get Sweet Girl out of the house! The Mop would probably follow her.

26. "RE: Jodi's 'bosoms of healing' " |
I guess it is possible that what we are seeing is the queen of touchy-feely doing what she loves to do.Earlier in the day, I'm sure that I heard Jodi laughingly refer to one of the girls throwing a leg over her during the night (thinking she was a pillow). Of course they were all drunk when that happened, so who knows what that was about. Besides, Jodi referred to that particular incident at breakfast (when she was still believing that their partying was "good"), and that was a few hours before she got all sanctimonious saying that "Kim crossed the line". I'm not sure where all of the nuzzling, snuggling, and sweet talk is coming from, but I am beginning to feel like these particular clips are being shown to the viewing audience for a reason. The bigger issue is that Jodi used her "special time" with Christie as an excuse for not doing her assignment. Her attitude was one of, "I was doing something really important". She sees herself as a healer, a leader, and a nurturer (I think that's why she approached Rhonda about Bethany). She is not dealing with her problem of accepting authority. When her arrogance is disguised with the softness she displays while assuming the role of counselor/advisor, it's very hard to see it clearly. *******************************************

Just saw yesterdays SO. Jodies caressing of Christies arm was so sexual. Jodie has a very masculine vibe to her. Even her idea of getting impregnated at a sperm bank seems weird. In my opinion Jodie's in the closet. Maybe she doesn't even know it.

Without even yet having read most of the other responses here, I have to give my two cents on the Jodi/Christie thing of the past COUPLE of days....
I thought when Jodi cuddled Christie on the couch (and Christie willingly let her, even gripped into her bosom) that something more than just friendship and support was going on. It was definately odd. Had I not seen the drunken episode of the night preceding this cuddle, I would have thought that Jodi was talking about the two of them (her and Christie) when she said, "we shouldn't have done it" - meaning something romantic or sexual happened between them. I'm not trying to be crass, I just mean I found it odd for, well, most cercumstances other than that, considering the level of affection going on between the two of them.
Then, in today's episode when Christie snuggled into bed with Jodi - way too much affection, odd. Odd. Odd.
There is something more than support and friendship/housemate-ism going on between Jodi and Christie, that's my feeling.
Christie even likened her enabelism/"babying" of with Jodi with her enableism with her boyfriend.
Perhaps we are going to see a season finale cliffhanger -
Jodi finally shatters the mask and comes out of the closet with a shocking host of romantic feelings she has been harboring for another housemate....
One of the women finds a twist in her path as she has to come to terms with being the object of Jodi's affections...
And shocking truths are revealed....
Next fall on Starting Over....

I, too, was disgusted with the arm stroking and bosom-smothering. I agree that Jodi feels her "power" when she is taking on the role of nurturer, advice-giver, hugger. She somehow identifies with the life coaches and acts like she is one. She spends more energy focusing on the others then she is on her own problems. Yet now that she is finally being called on the fact that she is not removing her mask and doing her own work, she is dumbfounded and humiliated.

I just wish someone who knew Toadie personally would give us some insight as to what her 'job' or 'profession' is since it seems to be a very much 'avoided' topic of conversation. I have to wonder why, in all the time she's been in the house, we haven't heard one word or been given one clue as to what she does for a living. The closest we got was today at BOR when Iguana made a reference to Toadie 'having money'........ very strange indeed.

I found it confusing that early on when Jodi first entered the house, they made allusions to her being "successful" and a leader in her career, like she ran her own business....but later on it was clear she had NO job or career, and was trying to decide what to do! such as woodcarver, etc...

Shes probably a bossy manager..A lot of money, what is that exactly? If you are alone like she is it probably isnt that much. She a big liar, fake, fraud. I think she doesnt like men because she likes to be the man. She should go on Rosies cruise..

I wonder if she works in show business. I can't put my finger on it, but somehow that would solve a lot of the exclusive insider information feeling I get. She gets way more respect from Iyanla then I think she warrants.

It's funny reading everyone's posts, reassuring too as I do find Toadie's behavior to be so put-on and arrogant. She is above the SO process and is very likely confused sexually. Christie is so vulnerable right now - I feel like I'm watching train wreck in slow-mo.

I'm sorry to hear about what you went through during your childhood Kaymoor.I think many people have had a similar experience.I've never seen Jodi's display of affection for the HG's as exploitive or disgusting.Just at times especially early on as somewhat over familiar towards people she didn't know well.I also think some of the close ups and lingering camera shots are let's just say VOYERISTIC and SUGGESTIVE to the extreme.You don't see those kinds of shots of the other HG's hugging or comforting each other.And you also don't see any of the HG's objecting to Jodi's exhuberant hugs.Who is Christie supposed to cuddle up with Kelly or Kim? I'd sooner snuggle a rattlesnake.Christie has needed a lot of support and comfort with her situation and there is nothing wrong with Jodi giving it.

I agree. My husband's family is not touchy or loving physically. When you go to hug them, they are somewhat stiff and seem really lost when it comes to how to achieve that closeness. My husband has told me all the time that he enjoys when I hug and touch him (wink - haha!) but that it never occurs to him to do the same to me - like out of the blue, walk over and give a hug. It's so sad. Animals and humans can go crazy wihtout physical connections.If Christie wasn't comfortable with it, she wouldn't have done it. She is not the type of person that would snuggle with someone she doesn't care for. That being said, ever since I read someone's post about Jodi possibly being gay, now every time I see something like this, it has tainted it. I wish I hadn't read that. Again, these women have shared their darkest, deepest feelings and that bonds them together like none of us will understand. Lastly, I cracked up at the title of this post - Jodi's bosoms of healing - I couldn't help but LOL.

I am not a 'touchy-feely' kind of person, but I do think the bonding the girls must feel is ok. After all, they ARE going through life-changing experiences. However, having said that, I have felt very uncomfortable seeing Christie express her sentiments toward the HG's. I mean hugging and supporting is one thing, but crawling in bed with another woman? WAY out of MY boundary line!! And if I were there, knowing it was on camera, I'd be out of that bed before the camera man knew what hit him!! LOL It could just be me, but I have felt for a while that Christie and Jodi were a little over the top with their hand-holding, stroking, crawling into bed with eachother. JUST ME??? I dunno....

Kaymoor,I know exactly the background you're speaking of. My mother was raised in England, and she came to this country as a young woman - the first in her family to move across the pond. She is a dignfied and refined woman, she always looks her best, and I have never worried about her embarrassing me through word or deed. There were definite limitations on physical affection beyond a courteous kiss on the cheek between family members only, and then only when "appropriate" (I know that not all English people are like this, but my family is). This reservation also extended to complaints about physical pain or illness, and basically we were taught to keep a stiff upper lip and deal with our problems privately. I couldn't get my mother to even watch a show like Starting Over. I've been influenced by that, but I hug my children (and always have liberally). I tend to extend a hand rather than hug people I don't know well, but I don't have problems with people who show affection and emotion. As far as Jodi is concerned, I've read this thread remembering that not everyone was raised the way I was. So, while I think Jodi may be way too assertive with physical contact, I was interested to see that a lot of other people felt the same way. Is it sexual? Well, I have to believe that these women would pick up a sexual vibe if it was being sent. Since no one from the show is willing or available to confirm or deny that, I guess we may never know. ****************************************

As for me and my various friends' experiences - I do think, when questionable behavior occurs, many women are conditioned to be passive and to repeatedly give others the benefit of doubt. We can easily become "weirdo magnets". Having been burned a few times in my younger years, I'm now not nearly so scared to state my personal boundries. (Even if they differ from others'.) A few observations: the other HG's aren't touching one another to this degree; as discussed in other threads, (i.e. Kim's drinking) the cameramen may focus on Jodi's breast-n-stroke fests because she's getting further 'out there'; and let's face it - seducers prey upon the vulnerable and weak. What better place to do that than the SO house? Especially when the 'seducer' refuses all attempts at self-improvement. JMHO....Thoughts?

That's cultural, not "crazy." I also think that a culture that doesn't display affection publicly, or isn't "touchy-feely" isn't a solid example of how they are "unloving" or "incapable of love." We just show it differently than physically accosting someone we don't know with hugs and kisses the minute they walk through the door. If Jodi jumped on me when I walked into the SOH (perish the thought!) I think Jodi might find out about my hobby (amateur boxing) very quickly! My close friend is Italian, and she INSISTS on hugging me EVERY time I walk through her front door. I don't hug her back. I ask her not to do that, but we have been friends for 25+ years. She says, "That's just what we do." I know she's right. Who should win the culture war, the hugger, or the huggee? Hard to know. One thing I DO know? Jodi grabs and clings to others too much!

I couldnt agree more, she has shown absolutely no desire to date men, its strange. Its like shes asexual.When she went on that dating thing she just seemed to want to win and one up all the guys. There was zero femeninity. In all my experiences living with groups of women we talked a lot about guys and we never crawled into bed with eachother!!

Tagging...Well, add another freak to the list because I am one of those 'touchy-feelly' kinds of girls too. I may have not be raised that way by my family but I have been lucky enough to have had some really wonderful girl friends over the years that I have been very close with. My girl friends and I always hug and touch eachother in an affectionate manner. We lay in bed together and cuddle on the couch together and sit on each other's laps and it's not sexual at all. I also call my friends pet names and am very free with my "I love yous". But I have boundaries too, don't be mistaken. I am not that way with strangers...usually a handshake or a hug is fine for me if the other person is receptive. And sometimes I only feel comfortable with a little wave hello. To me, respect is what its all about. Forcing yourself on someone isn't loving or respectful. It may just be me, but I think it's sad how many women are sooo uncomfortable with other women being intimate or affectionate with them. Those things do NOT equal sex. Woman have such a strong connection to one another and a wonderful ability to be intimate on many levels that men cannot be. Just do some history research and even look at certain tribes that are still around today to see how important women's relationships with eachother are. My take on Jodi is that she is all about power and power and sex often cloud together. But I find all of the comments on her sexuality to be quite petty and ignorant. (I am bi-sexual and I would NEVER cross that line with my friends. NEVER.) Gender roles and sexual oreintation are not the same thing. We ALL have feminine and masculine characteristics in us and Jodi's more outspoken masculine side may be due to her relationship with her father. She never felt like "daddy's little girl" and may have developed a stronger masculine facade in order to appear less vulnerable and more adpt to take care of herself without a father-figure in her life. The over-the-top nurturing seems to be a power-based issue. Jodi seems like the take-charge, fixer type who likes to get swoop in and get the job done and be the victor. Maybe that's why she is so successful in business (if she really is). Anywho, that's what I think, so there you go.

Black rainbow, the difference is that you say you love your friends and are close, I imagine you have cultivated those relationships for years. These women all say they hate each other one minute and then are doing the touchy feely baby baby thing the next. Backstabbers all od them! The prison inmate analogy is a hoot. And the board (BORED!!) of review, what is this stupid fear of that? They all want to go home and when they graduate they cry that its too soon.They arent happy to get steps or not get steps. Who gives a rats a$$. They contradict themselves so often its just plain embarassing.

Hey, does anyone remember when Jill graduated? Jodi kept giving those overly teary-eyed confessionals about how much she loved Jill. Then when Jill was getting ready to leave, Jodi gave her that overly clinging embrace which seemed over the top to me..and I coulda swore I heard Jodi say "I want to be with you" as she was swooningly gripping to Jill. Hmmm.
I picked up on Jodi's seeming attraction to women back then.

Poetic, I remember the Jill hug, too and I felt the same way - but tried to shrug it off. I' don't remember what Jodi said, though...

Maybe she is practicing to be a life coach. It's apparent that she is emulating her own LC.

I think that Miss Jodi likes to toy with people. The over-the-top gestures are just a part of it. I feel like she doesn't like people in general unless they are on her side. During her flirt-a-thon I thought she gave it a half hearted effort. Maybe she is sexually confused and that is part of her problem. That is what baffles me about the show. They miss the obvious. Jodi doesn't know if she is bi, straight, or gay. I bet if she had some counseling on sexual orientation a lot of her other issues would fade away.

That hugging session with IV was long and disturbing. Jodi has given and received more hugs than all the HGs put together from the last three seasons. That girl has major issues.

Maybe Jodi has "mommy issues" so she is fixated on bosoms. I have to say that the title of this thread should be more like Jodi's bosoms of heaving not healing. I know I want to heave when I see her do the things she does. So exaggerated as if she is afraid someone will not see what she is doing so she does it way over the top.

I don't want to turn this into a genaral discussion, so I'll keep this brief. At first, I thought it was just Jodi. And, even started a thread about her hugs. But, apparently Christie must like them. She's been giving enough of her own lately. Even getting into bed with people. There's just too much of this groping going on. And, Jodi's just the ringleader.
