1. "RE: Jodi's "C"" |
I haven't been a huge fan of Jodi's but I also think her coaching hasn't been direct enough in typical IV fashion. We make masks, we want to paint them and break them. It's not working and IV gets frustrated and throws a tantrum instead of trying to think that maybe it's her methods not reaching the client. Not everybody can be reached by the voodoo priestess and the Universe. Some need more practical exerices.

I havent seen the episode yet as it hasnt aired here but Toadie Jodi deserved the C. Maybe she will wake up and smell the coffee and start working on herself and leave the coaching to the coaches.

6. "RE: Jodi's "C"" |
Maybe I've missed something but I can't for the life of me figure out what Jodi is doing in the SO house.Her desire for help seems genuine but when it comes down to getting the point of the exercises she denies,resists,argues,dodges or whatever she can do to avoid changing.And she seems to use supporting the other HG's as an avoidance. She says she's afraid of what is under the mask.Why?What could be so terrible? That she's overweight?Common on, alot of people have that problem.That she hasn't formed any close attachments? I don't know.She has a false confidence that borders on arrogance.And then when she is criticized she folds like a house of cards.It feels like Jodi could be on the verge of "getting it" but darned if I know what that means.She seemed angry about the "C" but it's strange that she couldn't see it coming.

That's why I think she's been left hanging out there by IV she doesn't even know what is it she's supposed to be getting and unlike the others she doesn't want to fake it to make it. Lisa was encouaging her to be like her today and basically just tell IV what she wants to hear fake a break through and graduate. I think Jodi does have something she wants to get through and is looking for someone to help her get there. Unfortunalty IV's voodoo just isn't working.

Yes,Baxtera but do you think she goes to find "IT" on THIS show?Hmmmmmmmm.....I think if I were Jodi I'd be looking for "IT" somewhere else.Take a plane,a train,some other less gross version of "The Flirtathon." Preferably as far away from Iyanla as possible.If I knew Iyanla were the captain of my destiny I'd have to jump ship or at least resort to piracy and make her walk the plank into the ocean of life.I don't know which one of them is more determined to AVOID the issue.

I doubt the voodoo priestess will get through to her either Jodi will decide she wants to leave and do so voluntarily or she'll become an IV parrot like Allison, Jill and Lisa and tell IV all she wants to hear in exactly the right tone of voice so IV believes they believe. You don't need to change for IV you just have to be able to tell her what she wants to hear. That's why I think her methods are ineffective as evidenced by her clients this season.

16. "RE: Jodi's "C"" |
steelmagnolya...Exactly! Jodi intellectualizes, rationalizes, denies...in essence she LIES and she knows it. So does Iyanla. I think Iyanla deals with Jodi the way she should be dealt with and that "C" was right on target. Look at Jodi...she's already crumbling. Before Jodi could come out of her private sessions, put on a happy face, caretake everybody else, and front like she has it all together, but this time her cover was completely pulled. I'm sure she felt very naked and vulnerable - hence being under the covers, and she should 'cuz I think it's about time! I would have liked for Jodi to have said at the board of review that she was afraid to take the mask off because she's afraid of being hurt, but that would have required her to come out from around that 10 inch thick steel wall she has...and...well...that just wasn't gonna happen...at least not today. Jodi is a smart, intelligent, and savvy woman. It won't be pretty, but I do think Jodi will get there. I also think Iyanla is the perfect coach for Jodi.

I can't stand Jodi, she is so fake! she puts on a "show" when she needs to. she needs to grow up. i think she deserved the c today in the board of review, maybe that will make her realize she needs to be real before she gets kicked out of the starting over house.

20. "RE: Jodi's "C"" |
I think Jodi should be thanking IV for giving her a C as she sure hasn't earned it. She hasn't done anything in the house and hasn't changed at all. All I see her doing is screaming about things she has to do like getting weighed, changing her eating habits, having to exercise, remove the fake mask she hides behind etc. Oh yes and cuddle with the other HG and she does that creepily. I think she should get the royal boot because she does nothing and doesn't want to change anything either.

I wonder if sometimes the problem is the hg don't get it either and the ones who truly want to get it and not just fake it to make it do struggle with IV because she can't explain herself and if they won't fake it she loses her temper.

Twinkles, I don't know what Jodi's issue is either - now AND before now! At first, I thought it was her father not loving her and that he left BUT I heard him on the phone with her and he kept telling her he loved her etc. So that's not it... Her weight issue? I don't think that is it either because she got on the scale but also didn't like what the nutritionist said to her ( I didn't watch that episode)... I just don't know what it could be unless she cried just to graduate sooner. lol

25. "RE: Jodi's "C"" |
Jodi doesn't want to play if she can't be in charge. She seems to honestly believe that she is smarter, quicker, and more qualified than everyone else. I've watched her go from person to person, and with what appears to be true concern, she becomes what each of them needs at the time. On the same day, she has spoken to two women on opposing sides of an argument, and she has stroked and coddled and told each of them that they were right and she was supporting them. It has nothing to do with truth for Jodi; it has to do with making people see her as a source of inspiration, strength, and comfort. In a nutshell, it makes her feel needed. It's her sales-pitch. For people like Jodi, all of that BS is a means to an end. Who knows what Jodi really thinks or feels? Who knows what "fill the empty cup" means? Isn't that similar to "embrace your true self", "live and let live", "one day at a time", "don't sweat the small stuff" and a bunch of other bumper sticker, one-size-fits-all sentiments? Getting a C killed her because it screams "mediocrity". Actually, in the SO house, it means "probation". Jodi knows that if she doesn't change her game plan, she won't make it in the house. She's watched a lot of women get much better grades than that - women who, she believes, are her intellectual and emotional subordinates. So, it's anyone's guess how (or if) Jodi will regroup. *******************************************

I agree with this post. I think that "false superiority" is the mask that Jodi needs to take off; the mask that says "I am superior even though I'm -overweight (because a number doesn't matter) -not loved by my dad (because my MOM is the 'real' good guy) -will never have children (because I can adopt/get artificially inseminated)" etc. Once she takes off the mask, she will first have to consider that in fact, she, herself thinks those are the things that make someone "superior" and since she isn't (allegedly) those things, she is indeed inferior. ...or IS she... If she is really in the right place and time to "start over", she will find out that in fact there are things about herself, that can help her claim, not her superiority, but her important place in the world. Then she will start feeling comfortable without the mask and we will like her more because she will like herself more. Right now she doesn't seem to like herself much.

I am getting over Jodi. She is resistant, will not let herself get the point of her exercises, and it seems as if every time she is in the confessional, she is talking about leaving. Well, waaahhh, Jodi. If you are so doggon miserable, and you feel sooo attacked, and you don't want to trust the process, then leave. Please. I am sick of hearing you and others whining about how you want to leave when things get a little tough.

Oh really. I just found these boards a few days ago.Interesting that I am not the only one whose thinking that. Now I am going to have to go look at the older postings. The stuff with stroking Christy and going to bed with her was weird. TruGoodness http://www.AmericanInventorSpot.com AmericanInventorSpot.com

Just read through the posts! Especially loved the sentiments of Seasoned Refinement and Baxtera! Ilanya is a joke and Jodi has a major superiority complex! What a combination! I think Jodi may well be 'masking' a sexual-identity crisis as none of the other issues tackled so far seem to inspire her to budge. Although she is working toward an 'A' in "Sexual Healing" . . . Sorry ...that was really bad but I can't resist.
