"Who do you relate to the most?"

Posted by talker67 on 05-28-06 at 11:08 PM
In each of the Seasons which of the ladies do you relate to the most and why do you relate to them, if you don't mind sharing.

Here are mine. I didn't start watching until season 2, but seen some of the reruns from season one on cable channel.

Season One: Lori-because I have also lost my husband and kinda closed myself away from a lot of people.

Season two: Allison- I am also a cancer survivor and had to have a complete hysterectomy before having children.

Season three: Jessica, My mom died suddenly too, and I just felt lost without her.


Also whose story really touched your heart rather you could relate or not.

Season One- Lori, but hers was really the only story I was familiar with.

Season two- Jennifer, Rachel, and Vanessa

Season Three- Jessica and Bethany and even Kelly, I think it would just be horrible not feeling like you could hug your child or anyone at all.

Anybody else want to share.

I missed Season 1 and only caught a few summer reruns (that's what turned me onto the show) so I'm not too familiar with the women from the SO1 House. As for the others, Seasons 2 and 3 - it's hard to relate to any of them because I feel they were all there for the wrong reasons, looking to establish themselves as some kind of 'star' and trying to garner that infamous 15 minutes of fame so they could go on to bigger and better things (like scamming people on e-bay). I would be hard pressed to relate to any of that because for most of my life I've always worked 2 jobs to make ends meet - I'm just not the scamming type I guess.

The housemate I relate to the most is Lisa 1 from Season Three. I am over 40, and often find it hard to be more independent from my parents. It gets harder when one's parents get older. Like Lisa, I can be child-like and immature. I was quite taken with her story and situation. Also, I am a slender brunette.

Your question is a good one.

I really related to Jennifer from Season 2. I thought it was really brave of her to forgive her father so she could move on with her life. Also her trying to reconnect with her younger sister. I just thought she was very real and down to earth.

The story that touched me the most was Kim's from Season 3. Her story was heart-wrenching, and her transformation onscreen from cold and unfeeling to open, warm and honest was simply amazing.

The houseguest I related to most was TJ. I also am misunderstood, but I mean well.

I admired Kim's story,It was so heart wrenching and she overcame alot. I was so happy to see her at the reunion. It touched my heart that she is so open and feeling her feelings. Major transformation. I can hardly believe she was the same person that walked into the doors.

What a great question!

I never watched season one and tuned into season two right after the Deborah debacle. I'd have to say that I probably relate most to TJ from this season and Lisa2. TJ because I relate to how she always feels out of sync and disconnected from everyone, and Lisa2 for feeling like I always have to pretend to be happy in front of others. I also related a little bit to Antonia. In my college days I got into a lot of trouble financially and had to dig myself out. I wasn't (at least I don't think I was) as immature as she was about it, but I found myself deep under a lot of credit card debt and it was a lot of work to get myself out of it. Man, that was a HARD lesson.

Mine is kind of similiar to the first thread: I related to Jessica I as well lost my Mom suddenly, And hate to admit it (more in the beggining though) was Allison my Mom passed away due to cancer and I've had a Hysterectomy had my kids though thank God, and this really hurts to say, but I had some of the same issues as Christie with addiction problems so although they grated on my last nerve there are some I could relate too.
And on the subject of abandonment by Father's I could relate to as well so there is quite a few that really brought it home for me, and like I said some of this is hard to admit, cause I don't have a great fondness to any of the women really.. mostly cause like with Christie she made hers about fame and television and greed and so did Allison.

I don't relate to any of them, and there are only a couple I like.
I think I can most relate to the phone in the house, because we both had to listen to alot of cr@p from the HGs.The only difference is the phone had to listen, and I was just stupid enough to listen.

EX.
It's cr@p like this. It looks so good to see this HG's growth, doesn't it? Mission accomplished. I realize that fun is fun, but THIS is the picture you share with your fellow MYSPACE group, and ultimately everyone else? What a legacy!

Not sure about relatability, but in terms of being touched/interested:

Season 1-- Lori, Maureen.

Season 2-- Jennifer, Bethany, Vanessa.

Season 3-- Niambi, and in the end I liked Antonia. I liked Jessica too, I never understood why she was so disliked, but to each his own.
