Jodi is one strange bird. She is getting increasingly scary. Like a mule, (in more ways than one) she still stubbornly refuses any growth or ownership whatsoever. Her tears and mini-dramas are supremely selfish and weak attempts to keep up the appearence that she's actually working on her issues. The mask deal was INANE- absolutely INANE! Plus, her creepy, possessive attachments to HG's are getting more pathologial each episode. - "I don't want ______ to leave. WAH WAH" - Worse still are her arrogant presumptions that she knows others better than they know themselves! Make her continued stay contingent upon her weight and see how long the mule stays! If she doesn't "weigh-in" or follow the nutritionist's plan, put her out to pasture.

I think her over reaction to Bethany leaving is because of her control issues. It seems like Jodi is the rock for so many people around her, she's used to giving advice, not taking it. So with Bethany I think she felt like she wasn't good enough to take care of her problem and as her roommate it was even worse. It was more of sn impact on her ego, than her heart.

Jodi has an uncanny ability to make EVERY group about HER. To make Rhonda her life coach in addition to Iyanla. To turn the attention off anyone's departure back onto HER. She annoys me to no end. This isn't "The Jodi Show" you egotistical mess!

How in the h*** is she going to sit there and tell Rhonda that they made Bethany leave. OMG! She sounded so much like a 5 year old who thinks that they control everything. I just wanted to reach througn that tv and slap the sh** out of her. I really am getting fed up with the arrogance of the "It's all aboutME" attitude. I was so pissed off when Bethany left and her and Christie were harping on "Oh if she needed to grieve she could have greived here...this is the perfect place for her". I think they felt like they could be so much support for her because they feel sorry for her. They don't even know how to support each other without being petty or cattie toward each other. She thinks that she can just win everything. She needs to GO!

If you look on page 2, there's at least a couple Jodi-bashing threads where this could go.
