PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Antonia is unreal!!!!" |
I was shocked to see and hear Antonia on today’s show. What a piece of work. She is poor as a church mouse and truly believes that she is a billionaire. All that she has talked about since arriving is money. It is very sad to see that her values are so out of whack. LV seemed to be placing blame on her father when it seemed that she was raised primarily by her mother. Is that where she learned to lie, cheat and steal?

IV has this obssession with fathers. It can never be that people have bad decision making skills and don't choose to take reponsiblity for themselves. It always comes back to the father/daughter relationship. Jill turned to a criminal life, got overweight, etc. because of Dad. Allison had issues because of Dad. Does IV ever tell these women you make stupid choices because you choose badly?

I agree with you Baxtera in that I think there needs to be more personal accountability and less laying of parental blame. Did they say how old Antonia is?Because she seems outrageously young and immature to me.Its sad that she seems to have no concept of money or financial responsibility at all.Or that these mistakes she's making with money are going to follow her for many years.I think she's representative of a lot of young people who live in the MTV fantasy land of celebrity and don't understand the reality of working hard,a budget and doing without to get what you want.We're trying to instill this right now in our teenage son.That he needs to make good choices for his financial future and be very careful,especially with interest rates what they are on credit cards today.It's going to be a rude awakening down the road when Antonia wants to finance a house or car and can't do it.Or when she has to come clean about her mistakes to a man she wants to marry.Yikes.He's going to head for the hills.

I sat watching Antonia's outrageous and arrogant behavior and all I could think was "Wow...she's going to be fun to watch!"
I think Antonia is going to become the next Lisa1-the houseguest you love to hate. Her over the top behavior will provide plenty of entertainment. I'm actually looking forward to it. Let's face it..the only houseguest they've had with any depth or that you could remotely feel compassion for was Bethany (and maybe Kim a little). Since this show is becoming more and more Springer like with the ridiculous excercises and false drama, they should just drop the charade once and for all and fill the house with houseguests like this self-centered diva wanna-be. What the hell-just make it a free for all at least it will be amusing.

ALl I kept thinking was that a puddle has more depth than this chick!She is going to entertain us highly. I don't know if it will be the constant inflated ego or her fantasy bubble of her life that will burst first. But it will! To pretty to ride the bus!?!?! Oh my god thank SO producers for picking her. She is going to have me laughing at her every day!!! I love her going on about the finer things in life. Like she is so classy yet that Boston accent is so inner city to the point where i wonder if she is making it up!

I haven't finished reading this thread and I must say I totally agre with you and BTDT...Iyanla does have her hands full with this one...this chick is totally out there, isn't she...is she for R-E-A-L????? It's sad to see such a pretty girl with such a R-O-T-T-E-N attitude...when she opens her mouth all the beauty diminishes from her face...she's a real piece of work. I guess it's safe to say that she's very self-centered and spoiled rotten. I soooo agree with you Bentherdunthat...she's going to be fun to watch...and I believe that Iyanla loves a challenge...I could see her savoring her pleasure at taking this one down a notch or two. I believe that Antonia is in for a wild ride...it's not going to be at all like she thought it would. I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

Actually, as a Bostonian, her accent doesn't sound so inner city. If I were to place her, I'd put her in Everett or Lynn, just north of the city. It's hard to explain, but she just has that sound.Besides, if she was in inner Boston, she's be complaining about riding the train, not the bus. She definitely a noth shoah girl. (for people who don't speak Boston, that was north shore)

13. "RE: Antonia is unreal!!!!" |
I think Iyanla's deal with her Dad stems from the box of dollars story....that moment sort of sparked the materialism in Miss Antonia...
Yes, I think she (IV) goes back to the parents/Daddy alot but I've also seen Iyanla come out from that and tell the houseguest to start claiming their own responsibilities. I really believe that she will entertain this crap with this chick only so long....And yes, I do love good TeeVee..so thanks for the freak show! Now....to the whole Boston thing. KILL ME!! I just watched the first 5 minutes of a 'wife swap' and they had a Boston Mom on who was HORRENDOUS and ignorant. Then there's 'Boston Rob'...you (as in reality shows casting folks) people are killing me! As someone who lives about 25 minutes from the city I can tell you that they ARE NOT a good representation of us patriots!!!
I pay for what I have, if I don't have the $$..I don't get to have it. I live in a nice home and I watch my three kids when we go out....(they'll tell ya, I'm 'mean'...lol) I do not feel entitled to anything I didn't work for...
Oh, and enough with the fake accents! I have never had a problem with pronouncing my 'R's'....and I don't know anyone who does...good grief....do they really think we're all Ted Kennedy??? and now, I will jump down from my 'tea' box.....

I loved the accent and thought it was very cute and I didnt think it was fake or sounded phoney. I think Antonia is a cute and young immature self-centered child. She has her life in a mess and needs to take a walk in the real world. It is people like Antonia who dont pay their bills that makes it hard on the rest of us. She needs some real life lesson's in the art of maturity and accepting responsibility for her past mistakes. She is way out there in her thoughts and ideas but I think she will keep all of entertained to the MAX. Cant wait to see what she is going to do next. It beats the heck out of watching the Jodi's and Chrisities' and Kelley's doesnt it?

>and Kelley's doesnt it? Again, Juliejo...I have to agree....I believe you're reading my mind and that doesn't happen everyday . Antonio's parents failed her, I'm not sure about her father alone as he introduced her to material things, but mom and grandmom are the people who primarily raised her according to her story and some of her " entitlement issues " stem from those around her who obviously were unsuccessful at giving her the fortitude to pay her own way... it isthe parents responsibility to instill in their child a sense of clarity about how to live within their means...that's why we have so many errant young adults making bad decisions in their lives today....because parents won't take the time to raise these children to be responsible adults. It's not an easy job (they give you grief all the way), but you have to prepare them for the world and not to be supported by the society they live in. You're right,... she'll make for good entertainment...I just hope she learns from this experience.

Shes a firecracker alright.All I have to say is thank goodness she isnt my daughter! She should be fun to watch though. What a shame Kelly is leaving, I think they would of had a little conflict.

According to her profile on the Starting Over site, she is 24! I never would have guessed her to be that old. She is obviously extremely immature but I would have guessed 18 or 19 tops.

Im young i want fun ...i want it NOW.. but i dont want to SAVE for it oh noooooo that might mean i might have to work 2 jobs part time or god forbid i might have to work weekends or holidays.. like the rest of us poor dumb slobs.. and this little twit couldnt give a rats butt when her card comes back hot..and the manager ask the salesclerk did you ck id..did you call it in for aproval..and i bet she knows just

28. "RE: Antonia is unreal!!!!" |
LAST EDITED ON 04-19-06 AT 07:26 PM (EST)Oh, this has to be staged...at least to some degree. It's not like I mind or anything, I laughed at Antonia's antics just like everyone else. I love the way she says, "Iyanla this" and "Iyanla that" when she's talking to her or asking a question. She's too flighty to show even a minimal amount of respect. Iyanla should be able to reign this one in. Antonia is a perfect example of what the "believe and receive" attitude looks like when it's taken quite literally and is in overdrive: she believes she is a "rich spirit", not a thief. She doesn't want "dirty, old clothes", she needs to be wearing the fashion fresh designs available on Rodeo Drive. The bus is not worthy of Antonia in all her beauty and radiance, she needs to go clubbing in her car - at the very least a Gallant with a sunroof. "Speak to the universe, tell it what you need, throw ten requests out knowing one will come back, stand in your truth, believe it and receive it", etc. Somewhere in that doctrine handbook there must be a chapter on misusing your power, right? LOL This is gonna be good...
PS: Cronemoon, don't worry...the one principal that does prove itself true more often than not is "you reap what you sow". It doesn't matter what Iyanla and the SO house may have in store for Antonia in terms of exercises and crafts. The truth remains that Antonia has already seriously damaged her credit - and she's barely out of the starting gate. A car repo is one of the worst things that a credit report can show (if the loan was large enough, it means the merchant probably took a loss on the deal because the vehicle depreciates so quickly). So, even if the SO house recommends bankruptcy, Antonia will either be living with the repo for seven years (until she's 31) or a not too easy to acquire bankruptcy for ten years (until she's 34). Unless the SO people have access to the 3 major credit reporting agencies' databanks, Antonia IS going to own this - for quite a while.

Well First off I have been friends with Antonia for 7 years now, when we first met at college and although she has bad spending habbits she is a very good and kind person at heart. She is not selfish or any of the other things you guys have said! I mean Its TV I love it she will bring lots of ratings to the failing show, mabye she is just too real for her viewers, she is a cancer so she wears her heart on her sleeves and if that makes her a bad person then well ya'll are just plain.........?

I want to apologize to everyone I offended! Im not used to seeing things written about people I know, I want everyone to feel comf. to b able to express theirselves. Antonia is from Lynn and as Im sure you will hear her say, "Lynn Lynn city of sin you never go out the way you came in" she does play the blame game alot and she has really learned her lesson and grew up from the show! U all are really going to be pleased with her being on and will get alot from it! I am on the last Episode for her Graduation and she talks to me thru out her time there! So I hope you all tune in and really hear what she has to say even if you dont like it! lol everyone it entitled to their own oppinion! ttyl

You were right! thats funny how you can break down diff. parts of New England Accents. I don't have one because I am from Milton and the majority of people who live there are not really from there! but I do love a good Lynn or Boston Accent! I am surprised that you have not hear of Her before she is kind of well known, not to tute her horn or n e thing but......

Just my opinion, but let's not forget that Allison did have a pretty advanced stage of breast cancer and thus had to quit her job to get treatment, have another breast and her uterus removed, had an infection, etc and was unable to pay her bills. She's not our flaky Antonia just saying - EH, didn't feel like paying them...

>them... Allison QUIT her job a YEAR BEFORE she knew she had cancer...when she did find out it wasn't that advnced....it went that route cause she had NO insurance and hence delayd getting treatment. This was all stated by her when she finally got backed into a cornor about her spending habits.....she had continued to spend as if she had a job and no cancer treatment bills. For all: As for Antonia...are the youngs adults these days that clueless or is she *playing* a part n hopes S.O. will pay off some her bills? Teresa, first season, had to seel her inherited land to get out of debt (Which was, imho, the ONLY right way to take ownership of ones' debts) . The show had Teresa call each company she owned money to and see if they could settle on a lower amount. Then she sent checks to them plus after leaving the house she put ehr inherited land up for sale. Allison claimed bankruptcy, well last we heard she was going to (Wrong,wrong, wrong way, imho). Wonder what *scheme* they will come up with for Antonia tos ettle up her debts? I hope they go with Teresa's route....have her call each company she owes and see if they can settle on a lower amount and while in the house, as did Teresa, send some checks out for some of the settled amounts. Also, as for blaming her Dad, well that's easy to do when the Dad isn't there to give his side. We have no idea what she was taught as she grew up. As we have foud in the past, when they bring on a Dad, it never was as nearly as bad as the houeguest ade them out to be. Case in point: PJ. Wow, did we find out differently about him when he came on the show compared to hw PJ had protrayed him.
So far I like Antonia BUT if most young adults are this clueless, what a future we have when they begin to run the states.

>I guess you all can not
>comment on the truth lol!Peace
>What is the truth? You are right that we cannot know what is "real" from a one hour edited television program. But did Antonia not say that she is "too pretty to take the bus"? Did she not blame the _credit card companies_ because they had the audacity to send her applications for credit cards (because, after all, she is so important that every credit card company in the country "knows" her income and therefore "knows" that she doesn't have the money to pay back what she buys on credit). Iyanla was right...she is a thief if she knowingly buys on credit things that she cannot afford to pay for and when she decides that "life is too short" and why should I "stress myself out" by working and paying my debts. Sorry, dbarros, but her own words condemn her. I'm sure she is not a bad person and in fact I'm quite charmed by her although I loath her attitude and her sense of entitlement. She is anything but a "victim" in her current situation. I have a father who was not involved in my life, and who expressed his "love", in the early years, with material things. And I am now one of the most unmaterialistic people you will every hope to meet. It ain't all daddy's fault, and she needs to step up and take responsibility for herself and her actions. Once she does that, I for one will be her biggest supporter and cheerleader.

Is Antonia really that bad? (Question goes out to all)Antonia and I don't watch the show so we don't really know how they edit her! We both work during the day so we really can not see whats going on... just remember its TV certain things might me hightened or made more dramatic that how she may really feel. I know what she has said and believe me its only about half as bad!I hope ya'll keep watching it sound like a real looker!

36. "RE: Antonia is unreal!!!!" |
You mention she was raised primarily by her mother so why would Iyanla address father issues? An absent father is a father problem. A girl missing her Dad or with an unavailable father keeps trying to resolve her situation with her father with other men unless she's fixed the situation with her father. It's common for men to push away their daughters so it seems like everybody is healing that problem. Plenty of men tune out their daughters for a variety of reasons - not always intentional. Separations could be from divorce, cheating on the mom, addictions, working super long hours, or just being very uncomfortable with a growing teenager daughter. It's hard for many men to stay involved in a girl's life but it's such an important role for a father. Lots of fathers think it's the womens job to raise the daughters and just don't realize they are the first most important relationship for their daughters. Iyanla seems to go pretty quickly from taking them from "acknowledge and heal it" to "own it". I think it's valuable for people to feel like they have their hurts acknowledged if only so they don't harbor resentments forever. I don't think the mental gap about stealing is just an age gap. Irresponsibility takes all kinds. Lots of people think if they can get away with not paying something they charged on credit cards that the Big Bad Corporate Machine or The Other (Rich) People can just go ahead and pay it. Whether they use other people's credit card numbers, just let their credit cards go to collections, or declare bankruptcy because they just couldn't stop buying more more more clothes and manicures they didn't need it's irresponsible. If you are mature and realize that the money comes from other people then you realize you're making other people pay for stuff you kept - and you think it's theft. If you don't think of it that way then theft to you is stuffing the shirt in your bag and walking out the store. I had someone use my credit cards, charge up stuff and tell me about these great things "she bought". It took me til I got the bills later that I noticed. It was easy to trace. I don't wear size zero pants and oh, she used her own name. She acted like it was no big deal since the credit card company didn't charge me. To her it was "so what?". I was really hurt because she tried to steal from me, she snuck the credit cards out of my wallet in my sleep, and she had been my friend - before. She went on her merry way with her new phone and clothes. I was furious and very hurt. (she was about 30 y/o)

I'd like to know why she is hanging out in clubs when she can't afford it and when she refuses to pay her bills and take care of the debt that she knowingly incurred. She is extremely irresponsible, selfish and has entitlement issues. She feels what is hers is hers and what is yours is hers. She seems to expect everyone else to pay what she refuses to pay when she skips out on bills so she can have fun and enjoy life as she stated in group today. What a freeloader!

What a spoiled brat. She acts much younger than she actually is. Even Iyanla couldn't believe what she was hearing. Wait til the novelty of a new housemate wears off and the other housemates let her have it. The fur is going to fly!

What I will say about Antonia is that she's definately NOT passive aggressive... no hidden problems... she is right out there, not pretending anything... and that is refreshing. I also think she's in quite a mess. I hope she does come around.

Yeah, she is unreal but at least she doesn't seem to be another bobbleheaded HM that's just going to agree with Iyanla so she can hurry up and get to the grad gift. I'm looking forward to watching her 'grow up' and hopefully learn some much needed lessons in reality.

52. "RE: Antonia is unreal!!!!" |
LAST EDITED ON 04-20-06 AT 09:58 AM (EST)I don't know exactly when this was taped but I would believe she's going to be subject to the new federal bankruptcy laws which don't account for being young, stupid, and entitled. Lots of people fail to understand that the rest of us do pay in higher prices, fees, etc. when others don't pay. The credit companies and merchants don't just suck it up when people steal or default on payments. So when Jill shop lifted and Antonia defaults on payments people pay, it the rest of us who pick up the tab for idiots like them who feel entitled to have stuff they can't afford and are too lazy to work for. It isn't a victimless crime or sticking it to a big corporation. That corpoation is going to get that money from somewhere else and other people do pay for it with higher prices or costs. Antonia is just one of many who feel she is entitled to have everything without working for anything. Edited after watching today's episode: I definitly think she came on thinking SO was going to help her write off her debts or negotiate with her creditors to get debt write off/consolidation/reduction and didn't really expect to have to do anything. I laughed when she told the debt expert she hated being told she had to reduce what she spent. I liked his comment about spending her money wisely and not wasting it. I do wonder if she'll complete his money making assignment or blow the cash on a spending spree. I did find IV's credit card bracelets funny and her reaction that IV was joking was right on cue. How many of these women so blindly accept wondering in pond scum without so much as a whimper.

I'm actually looking forward to IV trying to break her. There have been too many willing guest jumping into the swamp with her. The fact that Antonia actually questioned IV about having to wear the braclet of credit cards and challenged her about it made me laugh so hard. I'm curious to know how IV will handle any further incidents of non-compliance.

Too pretty to ride the bus!! Well at the rate she's going pretty soon she won't even have enough money to have the bus drive her smelly a$$ around. What a stupid thing for her to say. She needs to come down to her level and man looking in her closet and at her stack of bills that is a very low level. She is young and she can change but she had better get real...quick. Maybe Karrine and XXXtina can give her some life lessons on how to fund an extravagant lifestyle with no real means and a pretty face.

You know that was my first thought too about Christina's art. Meeting with a financial advisor is fine. How about meeting with gasp a JOB councilor to find out about getting a JOB. Shocking I know but if the child is $24,000 in debt with the interest growing while she's in SO I'm thinking waitressing at night since they have so much free time with nothing to do wouldn't be a bad idea to earn some money to start paying on those bills.

Exactly my feelings about the JOBS. And if they really wanted to help these women they'd require they hold some sort of JOB for a minimum of four hours a day. Or even volunteer work. SOMETHING besides laying around on their fat lazy butts gossiping, smoking, eating, napping, and god knows what else. I'm sure there would be businesses in the area that would hire them on a part-time temporary basis. Maybe like Curves or Jenny Craig, the local technical college, etc. These women are LAZY beyond belief and it's that I notice more than anything. Antonia has already started looking just a loopy lazy as the rest of them, boy that didn't take long.

Did anyone see Oprah the other day? It was the exact same thing, a girl who felt entitled to buy stuff and was over a hundred thousand in debt... What is with the entitlement...She said she felt "pressured"... dont we all want stuff? The problem is people think there are no penalties. They should let people like Antonia go to the poorhouse, we all have debts and we pay them off, even if it means taking the "bus" and maybe even working at a "restaurant". I am surprised Antonia isnt a drinker, smoker,drug user, she seems into instant gratification... I have nothing against her personaly, I think she must have gotten it from her parents..

I've heard the advice of this guy and I understand people are better off financially if they are investors or business owners. Tax and income-wise the worker-bee is the bottom of the totem pole.Does the investment counselor realize,though, that Antonia is in Day 1 of trying to get out of denial of her debts? I think his usual audience are WORKING people in normal jobs who ARE PAYING minimums on their credit cards, not people who ignore them entirely then go out dancing for the night. But what gets me is that you have to start somewhere with some motivation. He handed her the $100. I'd like an exercise where she takes her own money and risks it to see what she can do with it. That's a whole different feeling. Hasn't she spent enough of other people's $? I'm also with you folks who are concerned that she's going to just get some handouts from the SO house. It's happened before. -You need to earn $100 by the end of the day. - You earned $90 - Close enough, here's $10 so we can call it earning $100. -Here's your graduation present: the rest of the $1500 you need, you earning it...(wha???) - *goes to look up "earn" in the dictionary*

Too pretty to ride the bus?That has to be just an expression that means she thinks she's really beautiful and classy, right? Because honestly, she looks just like thousands of people who ride the bus everyday. She fits right in. I probably wouldn't notice her. BTW: anyone catch Iyanla's statement at the door, "Having a bad hair day?" Silly Iyanla, that's her wild and sexy hairstyle. (I noticed she pulled some of it back before her meeting with the financial advisor. Such power in Iyanla's words!) WARNING - There is an entire generation of instant gratification born in the early 1980's, and they are about to hit the ground running...(not everyone, of course)

My favorite part of today's show:Antonia - (Answering the door) Iyanla - Hi, what's wit yer hair? Antonia - This is my free look. Iyanla - Free? Free from what, a comb? I thought it was rude and mean spirited, especially with the look on Iyanlas face after she said it. But it was still funny, even more so because it was arrogant Antonia.

Your warning is on target...this generation you speak feels extremely entitled...as I said, earlier...their parents have failed them...they haven't prepared them to become responsinle human beings and it's really going to cost them in the end.

So far, this "storyline" about Antonia's finances just illustrates how SO/Iyanla has no consistency or integrity. How can Iyanla "deliver her lines" with a straight face? Isn't she embarrassed to tell Antonia with absolute authority, "You are a thief if you don't pay your bills" after helping Allison Stanley "steal" on a larger scale? At least some of 24 year old Antonia's $24,000 debt involves student loans...39 year old Allison racked up $35,000+ debt buying atrocious outfits and junk jewelry, and clown makeup and, oh, I forgot, spices and a pencil can. (It's been well established that the vast majority of Allison's debt came from careless spending rather than medical expenses.) Antonia needs to learn to live within her means, but Iyanla told Allison that her problem was that she just wasn't livin' large enough. Allison, dream BIG!! Ask the Universe for a job where you make gobs of money working only 3 days out of the week! Ask the Universe for what you want! Don't be a sucker workin' hard like everyone else. You are entitled! Keep spendin' Allison...you need a new peasant top every two hours or so. What changed, Iyanla? I mean, besides the bankruptcy laws.

I think it will be interesting because she is the first guest in a long time who hasn't blindly followed IV's instructions or attempted to get help or stop an activity behind IV's back (like Jill with the suit cases). I laughed so hard when she challenged IV on those stupid bracelets. It will be interesting to see if after having so many zombies as clients who would jump in the swamp what this child will do when IV makes those demands of her.

Cut them in half when they come in the mail. I do. Or, shred the forms to get them. If you are already in debt, hmmmmmmm why do you want to be further in debt??? Any thoughts on this ladies???????????????

Baxtera wrote: We need the just say No campaign to entitlement...Antonia actually is not that far out there for her generation. She is all too "real" for people who believe that somehow they are above having to work for what they want"Isn't that the sad truth? I'm not even sure if a lot of them have figured out that they will have to pay for what they NEED. Courtesy of Mom and Dad, today's middle-class kids have access to a lot of goodies. Home computers, laptops, internet, I-Pods, cell-phones, portable DVD players, 1000 channels on the cable or satellite..there's a lot of technology to be purchased. The problem is, how are these young people going to pay for all of this stuff when they need to pay the utility bill or the rent? It won't be a problem for the entire generation, but it will be for a lot of them. Antonia may be more typical than we would like to believe. Can you imagine starting out with so much against you? And the ironic thing is that she did it to herself! The woman can't even rent an apartment! I've often wondered why there isn't a required course for all highschool seniors that would address these issues in depth: credit card company reps on college campuses, unsolicited credit cards in the mail, interest rates, finance charges, what wage garnishments and repossessions are, the three major credit reporting agencies, getting a copy of a credit report, interpreting a credit score, and how that score will affect every major purchasing decision of their lives. I have nothing against a study hall, but wouldn't this be more useful? Antonia's position is bad for everyone.

I don't think she's a bad person.I just think that she lacks money management skills and impulse control. And Seasoned I agree 100% that personal money management,credit and how to handle it responsibly should be a part of every high school Seniors Economics course. And it should be A BIG PART. They should be required to go home and get an accounting of every monthly bill their parent has to pay.And they should do mock budgets for what their expenses will be when they are out on their own. I think they can be supplied with the information on money management but then they have to have the maturity to apply it and the parent has to step in.Financial problems can be very difficult to undo.I think it is within Iyanla's capabilities to help Antonia.But she is going to have to have a willingness to do what it takes and I'm not sure she has that.She has some VERY BAD spending habits and she may end up learning these lessons the HARD WAY.

What is with the entitlement...Someone asked? That is what a lot of young kids think today. Because they have grown up having everything handed to them. They feel if they see it on TV or someone else has it they should have it too. They are entitiled.....Parents do kids no favors if they spoil them and lead them to believe that they are entitiled to have whatever they DESIRE. Antonia has no concept of what money management or savings skills are. She has a credit card and she spends. She takes no resposnibltiy for her part in spending herself into debt. She also has nothing to show for it. She showed Iguana her closet which held a few meger things and said she had no idea what she did with what she had. She liked to throw things away is what I recall her saying. But she is funny and a breath of fresh air in a very stagnat SO house. When she answered the door to Iguana with her hair all wild and all over the place and Iguana said did you lose your comb, I fell out of my chair. Antonia just blew it off and I think that is probably what she will do in the SO house, blow it all off. But she will be fun to watch. I missed my laugh for the day when Lisa1 left but Antonia will keep me laughing as she doesnt have a clue. This is better than the movie Clueless because this is for real.

When you think about a lot of the houseguests they all have felt the "entitlement" in some way or another. Allison had her credit card issues, so did Lisa, the wieght issues too and alcohol-Jill and Jodie have been mad when other people could eat and they couldnt, Christie mad that other can drink an she cant. Its the inability to take resonsability for your own actions. I love it when they call all those things "diseases" I eat, spend too much because I have a disease, Bullshit. Its apathy.

I would really like Iyanla to just "lay into her" instead of the teasing, light hearted jabs at her lifestyle and attitude.
Hi Omniscia...I believe that Iyanla may be approaching Antonia's problem much like she does...from a sense of carefreeness that she can relate to.
Antonia treats her debt as if it's no big thing and this seems to me, to be a way to teach her that everything has a "cost" attached...something, this young woman has no "clue" about (living expenses...necessities vs luxuries)...and It's sad to say this is why most young adults fail at an attempt to live on their own...they haven't been prepared for a "sound financial life".

>>>"I'm starting to think she doesn't even believe half the stuff she says. She's full of it. When she got the $630 from Iyanla, she was complaining to make a show for the cameras. She probably has one dime and a quarter in her pocket, she was just bummed the money wasn't real."Omniscia ~ I'm thinking along the same lines as you. I think Antonia is a spoiled entitled brat that thinks she's the cutest thing that has hit the planet so emphasized her "drama" to get selected for SO. I get the feeling she is one of those that was looking for her 15 minutes from a reality show because afterall, everyone will adore her ... "I'm just so cute and funny. I'll be THE one that brings in soooo many viewers. The show will come back to life because of M-E!" ... a la SpitUpLisa. And like Lisa, she will have to continually play her role. Don't get me wrong, I thought Lisa was as much of an idiot as she portrayed, she just acted it up for the cameras. She too thought she'd come across as so cute & funny. Lisa's problem was, she wasn't smart enough to have thought through her "character" development after she got on the show. That being said, Antonia's underlying issue is, sadly, representative of much of this young adult entitled, have-it-all generation. My daughter is close in age to Antonia. I see it every day. It IS fun to give our kids stuff but the minute we'd see even the slightest signs of entitlement we'd quickly put the brakes on. I'm old enough that we DID have a HS course similar to the one SR's suggested: >>>"a required course for all highschool seniors that would address these issues in depth: credit card company reps on college campuses, unsolicited credit cards in the mail, interest rates, finance charges, ..."<<< It was also a part of a Business Economics course in college. Then again, as Baxtera said ... they don't have that on the standardized testing so no time to teach it. The test for that comes, not as one final exam, but as a way of life that can eat you alive and follow you the rest of your life! I've seen it just as bad in college graduates who DO get a job but don't have a concept of "after tax income" and that the entirety of their check isn't available for fun, clothes, and entertainment! Somehow, they think their rent, utilities, food, & car payment (for that cute little sports car they went out and purchased on credit the day they found out they had a job) are going to magically be covered! They honestly feel they had to work sooo hard in college that for the rest of their life the "universe" owes them all-fun all-things all the time. I put myself thru college, worked several jobs, and still found that the easiest and most fun part. Have we as parents failed to teach our children that awesome feeling of working HARD for something and succeeding? Of the inner sense of satisfaction of achieving something that we have to struggle for? You want self-esteem ... THAT'S where you can find boat loads of it. Feeding your ego does NOT increase self-esteem! Self esteem comes ONLY from inside yourself. Fun, acquiring things, acting important, "stardom", etc. are strictly ego-feeding. And feed the ego and you are feeding a huge monster that just continues to get bigger & need more "feeding". Build your self esteem with hard work, accomplishments, etc. and you don't need to constantly feed the ego monster. OK, back down from the soap box!!!!!

LAST EDITED ON 04-25-06 AT 08:22 AM (EST)For all:
Am waiting for when Antonia fiunds out about the food money allowance.
Will she go along with the way things are: Pooling the money Or Will she want her share of the money and then eat the food others bought?
Would make for drama since it seems Jodi and Christie have a monopoly on the food: They seem to be eating all the time.

OK, I fell down laughing when Antonia said that she was "Too pretty to ride the bus," because, in my trade? That's slang for "ambulance." I stopped for a minute, and had to realize she meant public transportation. I laughed at myself, yes, and her! Can you imagine someone believing they are too pretty to be in the back of an ambulance??! Hopefully, Antonia won't need one, though--they are expensive rides. She probably can't afford either "bus" and that isn't about whether or not she's "pretty." She really IS too much.

Hi. I'm new here, but I just have to say that I am DISGUSTED to have the college that I PROUDLY graduated from glaringly listed on Antonia's profile. Even though she only completed ONE year at Virginia Wesleayn College (and from her attitude i can understand WHY), I hate knowing that some people will now associate my college with HER and her selfish, egotistical, irresponsible attitude! UGGHHH! I hope she has a very rude awakening while on this show!

I'm jumping on the "Antonia is a kick" bandwagon. I really enjoy watching her and her sassy attitude! She's certainly not afraid to question Iyanla, and I find that refreshing and enjoyable. You also don't have to wonder what's on her mind, because she's also very vocal. Nice change I must say, and not at all boring.
Does she have issues? Well duh...if she didn't she wouldn't be at the SO House would she? I really think it's going to be a heck of a ride watching her and Iyanla work it all out!
Go Antonia!

Hey guys, did I miss something? Didn't Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad hand Antonia a $100 bill and give her an assignment that involved turning that $100 into $500 within a certain amount of time?Has the time limit expired? Was the assignment ever addressed again, or did it just go by the wayside? Anyone know anything? PS: I'm not sure I get the point of the exercise. Is it to show Antonia that she is financially clueless? *******************************************
