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.
As entertainment critic Roger
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."

In more ways than one too! I don't get why she is on the show. She is rude and talks without thinking of others and their feelings and that is about it. She said she ran her own business so how much of a social misfit is she in real life? I find her situation the most bogus of all. Teaching her to make friends is ridiculous.

I felt exactly as you did about TJ when she first entered the SOH. And, by the time she graduated, I found her one of the most improved HG's in SO history. Keep watching the reruns. Maybe you will, too!

Research on her issues also may help. Her story is in no way the most provocative but it does shed light ( very little light) on ADHD and learning disabilities in general which can come up in anyones family. Today I watched Lisa tell a story without giving TJ eye contact even though TJ was the one who seemed to be listening. TJ also sheds light on that uncomfortable feeling you get when you speak your mind with a group of women who don't want to let you in. Soon TJ's story will hardly be mentioned as the house works on other issues that are probably more exciting to most.

Interesting. Maybe I was unfair to call her a bore. I do recall the mention of her ADD but I don't understand why that makes her a SO HG. I think she would have benefited by a therapist with that as a specialty instead of a life coach making her chit chat with strangers. I think she is fading into the background like you said which was a mistake of the production people.

I love Tj she is my favorite guest of all time. I think the other woman treated her unfairly and it would of been better for her to have more time with Dr. Stan, but in the end she really doe reach all her goals

I loved in reruns yesterday when she was saying how Lisa1 was so upset about her Mom and how her Mom is driving her crazy. TJ said "Lisa is stressed about her Mom and how she is driving her crazy. Can anyone say "Mirror, sucks to be you?" LOL OMG just made me bust up. If you really look deep inside she has a great sense of humor. TJ walks out of the house really changed. You can see it throughout the season especially after she graduates and comes back for others graduations.

No one talks to TJ because she is clueless!!!!! I liked it when Lisa was on the computer and TJ wanted her to look at her - why would Lisa want to look at her. DUMB!!!!!! Her remark about the mirror yesterday was really stupid - she should take a good look in her mirror. She might be amazed at what she sees. I can see why Lisa acts the way she does (to a certain extent) when her mom brings her fancy panties and talks to her about Tampax. I think she did that to embarass her and she did. I'm hoping that she will go off on her mom!!!!!!! Her dad acted like a wimp.

LOL! I feel the same way and I agree about Lisa. I think that the problems she has are definitely rooted in her parents and I really think the attempt of the LC's to brush that under the carpet proves they are incompetent to deal with emotional issues. On the one hand they are all about healing relationships with mom and then they turn around and say don't tell your parents what they did wrong. It is inconsistent. Lisa is victim of sex abuse and has wacko parents. How could she be anything else but troubled?

I like TJ!! It sure seems like out of all DAW's this season, at least she's REAL! Just wait until that DAW OF ALL TIME, Piss-T enters the house!! You will be amazed at her ego and the lack of ANY progress she makes. YUKKIMOTO!!!!

I'm with you on the not blaming the parents forever approach. It really solves nothing. It's just that Rhonda seems to belittle Lisa sometimes for the flaws she has which are a result of a life long journey. Putting her down is so unproductive. In fact, dressing her like a baby was hazing. That's what's missing in SO, a real start! They are spending too much time focusing on the problems and not enough time on the solutions. I wanted the life coaches to be something else.

>I'm with you on the not >blaming the parents forever approach. > It really solves nothing. Yeah. I know people in their 40's and 50's still rambling on about how much about their lives are their *parents'* faults. (Mind you, some of their parents are dead, and have been for years.) they also know nothing about the people they are talking to, when they whine on about the "poor me mom and dad were --fill in blank--and that's why I'm--" and I don't have the nerve to ask what I am usually thinking, "Would you like some cheese with your whine?" I know people have terrible childhoods. (In fact, I'm no exception) That's no excuse for figuring out how to move on, and not share life stories with total strangers about your parents in inappropriate places and settings. (C'mon, we've all been THERE, right?) The last person I had to shut off? Was at a bridal shower, while the bride was opening gifts! I looked at her and said, "Are you aware that I am completely ignoring you?" (This didn't help. She apologized and kept talking!) You're right. Parent blame solves nothing, and is a poor excuse for inappropriate behavior. TJ is on this show because someone had to teach her how and when and where to speak up. AND, how and when and where for Shhhhhh! They (LC's) are spending >too much time focusing on >the problems and not enough >time on the solutions. >I wanted the life coaches >to be something else. I'm with you 100% on that one. I think this shifted after Season 1.

I like TJ. Yes she has trouble spelling and has ADHD and dyxlesia which can make writing, spelling etc challenging. I have ADHD and dyxlexia and have trouble with my handwriting and spelling at times and I have a Bachelor of Science degree so being uneducated and not graduating form HS can't be the blame of all TJ's issues. I think TJ is one of the most genuine HG SO had on it season 3. If anyone is rude, inconsiderate talks over others, is a bore and appears uneducated it is Lisa1 (this season anyhow) and Jill. They are idiots and neither one of them appears to have learned anything from their eternal stay in the house. TJ changed the most in season 3 and I think she is doing well and wasn't on the show for ratings purposes nor to try to become a celebrity or make money off being on tv. Learning to connect is a better goal than Lisa1's goal of grow up.

I'm pretty sure TJ's business helps adults with learning disabilities, or that may be her not-for-profit that does that. I'm not sure. Being able to spell is no real indication of how intelligent you are.

You are so right! She is a unique, honest, caring, compassionate person who cares a little TOO MUCH about what negative people say! So she has a problem with reading, puzzles, etc. Maybe she is artistically inclined. That doesn't however make her stupid! They should have helped encourage her, not laugh at her! Thay are all very non supportive of TJ, and she constantly tries to help them grow EVEN when they treat her nasty!

EMTBGRL ~ I haven't been around the SO boards in a long time (but I'm bored out of my skin this am ... or rather, I'm sad & upset bec I didn't get to run my fav race of all - the Peachtree Road Race) so came to boards to see what's up. Didn't intend to post, but after reading this post - along with your other great ones elsewhere - came to say a big "THANKS - great post" as are most every one I've read of yours. I miss reading them actually.I didn't like TJ at all when this season began but she became my favorite. Plus, I can soooo relate - especially with the spelling thing. I have the ADHD & dyslexia ... & can't spell worth a flip! And I have 2 bachelors degrees & was 1/2 way thru a masters when sidelined with injuries & illness. I'm always embarrased about my spelling - or lack thereof. I loved your discription of what words & letters look like for dyslexics. It's #s that kill me ... copying #s from credit card, ins card, etc .... YIKES!! To me (& other fellow dyslexics) it's as if #s & letters are constantly moving - it's like trying to write the names, in order, of a room full of puppies that won't sit still! I also love the next post from Lela ... "Teaching to her make friends with negative self centered whiney ##### women is USELESS. They should send the others home if they don't want to get out of their pity holes and drama! TJ is just trying to understand, non-understandable people!" BINGO!

She scares the daylights out of Allison - based on this skill alone she is OK to me. The fact that her spelling is non-existent is another issue....
