"Strange how calm and soft spoken Iyanla is"
Posted by cheesecake on 04-21-06 at 11:42 PM
Where is all that shouting and messy excerises for the two new HG Niambi and Antonia? I'd like to see her put mud all over one of those girls or make them get into a pool of slim. Antonia looks like she would just laugh herself silly and refuse.

i know! Iyanla is treating them in a very motherly way, it seems. But then, they haven;t put up much of a fight yet. If and when they do, watch out! I don't think Iyanla will put up with that for long.

What I find interesting is she is so supportive of Niambi's love for this man and being the Other women and yet she's slammed Other Women very hard and was on Lisa 2's back for daring to be upset at her husband for having an affair. Why is Niambi getting a walk on being a home wrecker? She's been so gently talking about embracing the love she has for this man when she's been in the face of other women telling them that it isn't love. Go figure.I am looking forward to Ms. Antonia refusing the wrong exercise. It has been so amazing to me how this women blindly clean slime out of fridges, climb into muddy water, etc. without questioning and Antonai questions wearing the bracelet. Maybe someone who finally says you want me to do what????

>do what???? Me too!!! She was a riot when she put the credit card shackles on her. Even IV had a smirk on her face with her reaction to them. Cause it was really funny! "How am I going to wash my hair?" I loved it. I was giggling.
I don't see her becoming a parrot to all the new age psycho babble. I am still kind of wondering why she is here other than she makes great tv!

Yes,I'm looking forward to Antonia and Niambi being covered in mud too.Although I'm pretty sure for different reasons.Just Niambi and Antonia right?I think it's fair to say that they have almost no clue what they've signed for.The nuturing Mother routine is to gain their trust and get them off their guard. The sliming part......that they can edit out or skip altogether.

I dont' get it either. Lisa2 was given the full wrath of Iguana over the affair her husband had but Niambi is being talked to so sweetly and gently that I know something must be up. (Niambi is the other woman) Although I am a firm believer that "you can get more flies with honey than viengar" this is new for Iguana. Niambi better watch out because the slime pond is just around the corner. Antonia has only just begun and she doesnt even know it yet. Clueless... The potion will be next. I agree the nurturing Mother may be a ruse to gain their trust , get them off guard and then sock it to them.

Juliejo, I DON'T think the "Honey....you can trust me.Just do exactly as I say.I got your back Baby"line is a ruse at all. I think Iyanla means the words FOR THE MOMENT they come out of her mouth.It is quite sincere in the intention to be helpful.She oozes all the belief in what she says and does as if she were leading the converts to the altar.She's good.I give her that.It would be most interesting to see someone challenge her.Especially someone who is clueless who they are going into the ring against.Niambi and Antonia are babies.It's like watching lambs go to the slaughter.She needs a stronger match up than that.They always believe her.Followed almost immediately by the head long dive into the slime or giant balls hurled at their heads.If their lucky they only get to Flamenco dance their way out of there.

I think that each person requires an individual approach. In the case of Niambi and Antonia, they're not providing too much resistance, yet. I think as time goes by and the initial shock of being there wears off, there may be some mud and slime bathing or something similar. With Lisa2 she had spent 20 some odd years blaming her husband for everything wrong in her life, and desperate times call for desperate measures and she wasn't getting it, hence the slime pool.

Personally, I don't think Namibia or BratGirl are all that innocent. I'm sure they've both seen the show and are well aware of Iguana's love for drama/being on camera/being in the spotlight/hamming it up/spewing platitudes to anyone who will listen emotional healing. I'm sure both have been around more than a few corners and can probably give that old goat Iyanla a run for her money. Namibia reminds me of a combo of Kim and Vanessa Atler...very repressed.
Anyways, if she, Iguana, is going to publicly humiliate/break and rebuild heal these women, she better get to it (chop, chop) cuz the season is almost over. She doesn't have long. Her lessons will have to super inane powerful.And why did she coddle/sugarcoat Allisham's irresponsible overspending but not BratGirl's? She never called Allisham a thief.
She's a hater. A shrill sounding, beaver-toothed hater!
Then Iguana says to Namibia : Trust me, I've got your back. Next the camera cuts to a close up of Iguana's wide behind and I'm thinking "she's got your back and a few other women's too." Probably had to use a wide angle lens for that shot.

PEACE!
