posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out

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."

I actually really liked the show today. The first time in a long time I actually enjoyed watching it. Finally all the hooey and the bogus gimmicks were gone. To bad it took them so long to catch on to that.

I think SO went downhill when it moved to LA and even further when they had that cheesy couple counciling..I am sad its cancelled, I think it helped me in a lot of ways..

LAST EDITED ON 05-24-06 AT 12:55 PM (EST)Ok, now the depression sets in. I watch SOH every single day and when I travel I TiVO it. Now what will I do with that hour? While I grew to dislike several of the HGs (Jessica, Christie and sadly, Jill), and saw the absurdity of some of the most stupid exercises ever, I always saw the value of the help they offered. I'd love to live in a house where everything is provided, no bills, and all the therapy you can absorb, and where everyone is tasked with "supporting" you at every turn. I probably would have got kicked out. I'd be calling Christie on her fake BS everyday, and Allison too. The last episode was predictably a "how wonderful SOH was" session. I was deeply disgusted by the ending with Niambi. They just threw her out the door because they spent ridiculous amounts of time with the likes of Antonia and big Lisa, and let those retreads from previous seasons back. Niambi could have had that time and attention.

I agree..good finale. Starting over was something really terrific and powerful at one time-it's just a shame that they strayed so badly this season. I also noticed that the final episode was cut more like a series finale, rather than a season finale. I wish B&M would give it one more chance and get back to the honesty they had in the first season and a half.

I havn't watched it yet, but even though I also thought it was getting really ridiculous, I too tape it every day (living in the dark ages) and I will miss it. It did offer some value and positive things things for me. But, this past year especially, it was all about the ratings. Too bad, because when it was good, it was really good. But I guess that's TV for you. I will miss Dr. Stan. i do like him. And even though IV can be...tedious, She is still a powerful woman, who for the most part, I liked. Rhonda on the other hand I am completly over. She and Andy can skip off into the sunset with thier matching WHITE hose and other fashion disasters. It was fun while it lasted. I'm sure I will cry my eyes out when I watch.

It was great to see some of the former houseguests such as Candy, Maureen and Megg. It was not so great to again see Allison, Lynel, Cassie and Lisa1. I would have loved to have seen Sinae again, and I am glad not to have seen Josie. Once Christie got done blubbering, I enjoyed the rest of it and found some very toching moments....the greatest of which was Dr Stan and Sommer's speech.

...the greatest of which was >Dr Stan and Sommer's speech. I agree. Dr Stan made me misty! He's just such a loving and honest person. He really must be amazing therapist. Did you see how Kim was just bawling when he was talking. You know he changed her life the most. It really looked like they were wrapping it all up. I really don't think it will be back at all in major markets. That actress Megan something or other from Will and Grace is getting her own talk show and I have a feeling it's going to be in the SO timeslot for NY and Philly by were I live. Not to mention Rosie will be back on TV with the View. There's almost to much competion for SO. IF only they had listened to their fans!!!!

9. "RE: The season's finale" |
For me the finale was what it was...CANDY!!! She was my favorite in season 2. It was really good to see her as well as Meg. Nyanza...HAHAHAHA...what can I say? I'm happy for her...YOU GO GIRL! For a minute there I thought Maureen was gonna duck behind something during the 5k and have a cigarette LOL, but it was good to see her too. I think Iyanla and Rhonda shoulda walked the entire 5k like everybody else, and not had their butts in a go-cart! Lisa1 cracked me up because in her voice over she was saying something about being with everyone, but she was running alone...HAHAHAHA...mmmkay.... While Kim's introduction run made her look like a pro, Kelly looked like a spazz coming down that little incline...sorry but she did. What was up with Cassie from season 1? That girl looked like she was under house arrest or something...very "closed". I'm glad they didn't let Audrey sing. Niambi and Antonia hug had me in tears. I was glad that they basically told Andy to sit down. Although I do think all the women that Andy did those horrendous makeovers on should have showed up and beat her azz. I saw there were a lot of women that weren't there. I would have liked to have seen Erika, Karen, Rain, and the one who was trying to be an auctioneer...she had a learning disability. I can't remember her name.

LAST EDITED ON 05-24-06 AT 05:05 PM (EST) I cried too, and realized maybe, in all of the cr@p, there was something unique and good in this. Everyone was more authentic today. I have certainly become more assertive since this show started.
I also was moved by the song and the footage at the end. I am keeping it for review from time to time. edited to remove the word real and add "authentic." ____________________________________________________________________________
I'd rather be at Disneyworld

Am I the only one who wanted to see what Dr. Stans wife looks like? With all the tears (in my house) today it would have been nice to say "oh, thats what she looks like-the lucky girl.

I've enjoyed all of your comments on this and last year's message board. Thank all of you, and I'll miss your humor and your spelling!!I was so fed up with the big, blond Kim, but I wonder why she didn't show up and show off in this finale?! I agree with the writer who suggested maybe something similar and better will come along to help us. The lesson that it home hardest for me was "Responsibility first. Then independence." Peace.

I enjoyed it. I felt a little better about Niambi's situation. Not great, but better than I did yesterday. I cried Dr. Stan can always bring me to tears. The love Kim has for him is so sweet. It was good to see a lot of the women. Cassie1 did not look well. I wonder what was up with her. Good ole Mo And Candy! She looks great. I was hoping to see Lori. All in all, it was a good show. I'm surely going to miss it.

One day 3 years ago i had the day off and was channel surfing and came upon the scene when all the girls were having the discussion about how to split the grocery money... and Andy got in the middle. From that day, i have watched every episode and have learned such a great deal. I, too, like all of you will miss the show and i'll miss all your great comments. You guys made me laugh so hard sometimes....THANKS...I would have loved to have seen Christine, Lori, and Karen from Season 1. I have amassed 3 tapes for each season. So, when i miss SO, i just have to pop one in!! Good Bye everyone and make sure to put what we've learned to practice!!

It would have been nice to hear a little more of an update about Candy - did she ever marry etc?? She may be one of the remaining few who hasn't gravitated to ebay to peddle their junk. As for Kim, Towanda, Denise and the others who didn't show up - well it really IS curious because it seems they all were there for the wrong reasons and just wanted to promote themselves on tv (well Denise wasn't too bad). I personally didn't miss any of them.

This group of ladies from this season - really kind of took the wind out of my sails. I saw alot of whining and not really getting it, instead getting off the hook (remember Kelly's BOR) Christy's so called assignment, she was wigging out the whole time. I would love an opportunity to create something where all the resources were at my fingertips. Wait till she gets in the real world, people get busy and she has to do everything herself. I dont see her 5K as ANY GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT at all. The house provided the road map along with her housemates doing the work. Additionally, Poor Poor Niambi. That was incredibly calus. Iyanla gives her the flavor of the month - "youre clinically depressed" cant help you here. Bulls.... Im ashamed of the show, coaches. How about then Dr. Stan? He should have at least, given her diagnosis taken her under his wing. Lastly, I dont see any of the ladies from prior seasons with "weight" issues having handled it. What a waste of time and money - starting over needs to screen their potential clients. Sommer is the only one who I really see a difference, but hey, her deal is being center stage anyway... Ok , Im done.
