Hope I'm posting this in the right place... it has to do with one particular previous HG, but I don't know who it is – and the best way to describe this is to describe the people shown in the beginning of the show.

I'm referring to the video montage that accompanies the intro music when the show starts. It starts off with at least one group shot (the women on the patio with scarves). Then later you see Cassie playing ball (at least I think that's Cassie), and then if I remember right somebody's punching a bag with boxing gloves on (don't know who that is either), then I think it's right after that shot that there's somebody who appears to be slinging paint on a wall. This is the woman you see just before you see Vanessa Atler doing a back walkover.

Is this Andy Paige slinging paint? I can't figure it out. This woman I'm thinking about appears to be having a real hissy fit, BTW.

The woman that is boxing a punching bag is Rachel. The woman slinging paint however is Denise. She was there to clean up a life of clutter. She was an interesting houseguest to watch. I hope this helps you.

I think that the lady that you are referring to is Denise. She was from season two, I thing. Anyway, you can probably find her listed in the where are they now section. I kinda remember that show and am sure that it was Denise.

And speaking of the montage, does anyone remember when it was that Iyanla cried?

IV cried at Jennifer and Kims graduation. It is Denise throwing paint, and it is Vanessa Atler doing the back flip thingy. It was when she performed in Las Vegas and learned she was graduating...Yes I know Im a little obsessed!

Hey, thanks, guys – duh, I'm sitting here watching one of last week's episodes (I use DVR) and realized I had the sequence WAY out of order! I'm not familiar with Rachel or Denise so I'll have to go to the Web site and check them out.

I don't ever remember seeing IV cry – it's interesting to find out when that happened, because I was always under the impression that for the video montage, the director had put glycerin in her eyes or something prior to shooting, and she was faking! LOL!

That's what it looks like to me!

There are three times I think about when I see this picture of Iyanla crying. The first is when she reconciled Jennifer and her dad, they went to some lodge and used a speakerphone. The second time is when she mediated the meeting between Kim and her sister. The third is when Rachael graduated.

Not sure which shot this one is from but those are the ones that come to mind.

And yep it is Denise throwing paint when she was locked in the solitary room.

It had to be graduation becuase look at the background.

Does anyone know who the blonde is that is hugging one of the life coaches? i believe its Rhonda she is hugging?! She has long really white blonde hair?

I could be wrong, but my guess would be Sinae from Season Two. Possibly Cassie from Season Two. Sinae is a really young girl, and has almost white hair. ( Though I do not remember it being extremely long. ) Try the "Where Are They Now" section for the second season. I hope this helps. Good Luck.

I think it's Layne.

My favorites of the intro montage are Candy and her leap of freedom.
and Chloe with her cute giggle.

IMO the girl on the punching bag was Jeniffer from season one.
The girl that got married.

The girl with the punching bag was Racheal..last season..
lady flinging paint was denise..
Girl playing softball was Bethany
Vanessa was the one flipping
i believe the girl Rhonda was hugging was either Cassie1 or Sinae.

I cannot stand to see Josie blowing in Cloe's face. Besides being a filthy thing to do, I feel it is abusive. When was the last time anyone enjoyed having someone blow in their face. I think that Cloe is "giggling" because she is uncomfortable with the situation.

She is giggling because shes a BABY!! Whats abusive about it?

That is not Choe's "giggling" voice you hear. Rather it's a voice over (added to the footage)for effect.

It cant be sinae her hair is thin this gal has a full head of hair. I believe it is Vanessa. Layne hair looks dyed this gal's hair looks natural. Cassie's hair looks old this gal's hair looks young and vibrant. Just a gues.

I think it is Vanessa from season 2. It is the right height, right body build, right hair color after her makeover etc.

Ummm...there are many people from the mother board who would be highly disturbed by Vanessa's walkover in that montage. Day after day after day we have to view her fat a$$ being exposed to the world when her pants slip down during that walkover move. Sure she was wearing a leotard but still...it's all a$$. Is this the only footage they could find?

LAST EDITED ON 03-05-06 AT 02:30 PM (EST)

I've seen footage of Vanessa when she was a professional gymnast, and I think a lot of her "fat" is probably muscle. But -- having said that, didn't she have an eating disorder? And it seems to me I saw some pics somewhere (maybe old SO stuff -- somebody's graduation?) where she looked downright chunky to me.

I'm not exactly Kate Moss, so I don't mean to run her down. But I did think I heard she had an eating disorder. Could account for some of the girth.

I could have sworn the girl playing softball was Cassie! Really looks like her to me. But then again, I don't know Bethany, so I will defer to those who do.

The woman playing softball is Cassie from season 2. Bethany was chunky.

It sure is Cassie. she played 1st base. i just saw the rerun last week
