Welcome to SO house,slickeronstate.We do think we can help you!You should know we've had to economize a little bit.The SO house is now a trailer.I mean....it's a nice trailer but it's a little small and you will be sleeping on the couch.The neighborhood can be described as questionable at best.Petmama (one of your new roomies)arrived at the house first and tried to go grocery shopping and got mugged.This reminds me you need to kick in a couple of bucks for groceries.Your other HG's are named Sharnina,Incognito,momof4inVA,EMTBGRL,and Allison.You should be familiar with Allison by now.I apologize in advance for her behavior.It was not my decision to bring her back.Please bring cleaning supplies,towels and dishes from home.Iyanla has specially requested to work with you!She plans to have you dress up as a clown and attend funeral services of total strangers.It will teach you so much!
Looking forward to working with you,
Carrie M.

Oh darn. I'm so disappointed that the houseguest spots for Season 4 are filled. I really wanted to put on a baby dress and sit in a pool full of muck and then shout off a public balcony that I am queen of the world. I would have learned so much by sitting in a cardboard box for hours or cleaning out a nasty refrigerator. Maybe I could have even pounded a bunch of bricks with a sledgehammer or punched a block of clay.

The things I would have learned from having a bunch of shallow, insecure, gossiping women who secretly want to be TV stars as my roommates. And of course the bosom crushing Iyanla hugs and the sarcastic, condescending remarks from Rhonda would have surely made me stand in my truth. (That is if I could have stopped staring at Rhonda's ever changing eyebrows long enough)

And to top it off I would have been treated to a grand finale Andy Page makeover so I could look like a drag queen for my pretend graduation. And then I could have really Started Over in my new life of selling cheap junk or crocheted hats on eBay.

Darn.

You are slated to come on to replace slickeronstate when she graduates.Does your post mean you won't be there?Rhonda will be furious.Andy Page will be disappointed as well.She plans to do even grander make-overs this season.We're so excited to see what she has planned!

Techstyle,yes of course.Who did you think was going to do the editing?We need you to figure out a way (thru editing or possibly black magic)to make Rhonda and Iyanla seem competent.I know what you are thinking right now:"Competent?!Impossible."Look I never promised you an easy job.You said you wanted to work on the show so get started.
As for you,erie_heart74,I believe I told you Domino's pizza on "two for Tuesdays"only.As director of catering for the show I expect you to know this.Also,Allison is complaining that you never buy enough wine.Frankly we can't afford to budget any more than the $2,000 per week that we are already spending on wine.Do you know how to make wine?You could look it up on the internet.That could be a big savings for us.

Do you really expect me to COACH under these conditions? A TRAILER????? And just where is the "Mirror Room"? You KNOW I do not work without a mirror room. And since I got married, I will need a bit of extra time to go home and spend some time with my newly wedded darling (myself, of course).

And since when do you think I get furious? *sing-songy voice* I NEVER get furious, now, do I? I just have such a DEEP need for camera time love for the SO ladies.


Be fearless, but be fearful of ME.

I apologize Rhonda,darling.Of course we do not expect you to coach in a trailer.The trailer is for the HG's.A beautiful suite of offices(complete with lots of mirrors)is where you will do your coaching from.I did not mean to suggest that you get angry with people unfairly.I know your eye-rolling,sarcastic comments,rude remarks,yelling,and door-slamming is intended to be theraputic.If someone else did that you might think she was a rude, full of herself b!#@$!But it is different for you because you are a trained life coach.The love you have for the SO ladies really does show.One day, I hope all our season 4 HG's love themselves as much as you obviously love yourself.
With great respect,

We need to hear from our original season 4 HG's,our replacement HG's,and our production staff.We will begin shooting soon.The last HG will have to bunk with Allison!Also,Cassie contacted us and for some reason her "errand angel" business is not working so now she wants to get practical and start selling pottery that glows in the dark.We will be supporting her in this by selling the pottery for her.I hope she does not mind sleeping on the floor!Lisa 1 will also be joining us.She was unfairly fired after not showing up to work for a couple of months.Whoever is on the couch will have to move so Lisa can have it.She is not able to cope with sleeping on the floor.

Looking forward to a great season,

Where the #$#$@!!! *am* I? Some blonde witch showed up with a strait jacket and said that I was going to live in a trailer! Yeeeaaah, I said, "Make me!" I don't remember *anything* after that.

But, since I am being held here against my will. Some rules:

1. I get the couch.
2. I can save lives, or take them.
3. See Rule #1. If unsure why this is fair? Re-Read Rule #2.

I am also not interested in "playing nice" I am interested in finding my way out of this heck hole with aforementioned toothpick and penlight.

Have I mentioned that I box?

I just can't WAIT for "group."

And, oh, get this @#$@#@!! strait jacket offa me!!

Do I smell resistance?EMTBGRL you have to trust the process.Living in a trailer and sleeping on the floor will only help you.It will give you the gift of learning how to live in a trailer and sleep on floors.It should be obvious how this will benefit you.Rhonda says she will not take the strait jacket off you until you admit that she is a gifted life coach and a better person than you.Is that so much to ask?

Uhhhhhh...I dunno. Maybe because they flaunt their insanity and try to rope me into their self-pity-party fest. Help! I need a key outta this place!

I'd love to give Lisa1 a break. Uh-huh. Ding dong! I hear "employment" calling her! Satellite radio called. They need a female barfer on the Howard Stern show! Riiiiight up Lisa's alley! It's not regular employment, but it's some quick cash for what she does best (vomit on command) and they might even appreciate being able to describe her bony behind on the air, without any of us having to LOOK at her! Oh, JOY!

I have ONE problem! Who has the KEY to this "Starting Over" makeshift trailer?? I want out! I never wanted to be here in the first place! (Hint: Brought here in strait jacket. Read upthread)

Umm, there seems to be a problem with editing already....All the ladies are trying to get Lanres' attention when I need him to help carry the smoke machine and mirrors; much needed for the production of truth standing. Also, Rhonda's Talking mirror that says , "NO-YOU-DO-NOT-LOOK-FAT-IN-THAT, will never get installed if Allison keeps holding Lanres' hands. Problem #2 People keep shipping items to us, so far we have received: 1 box of tampons, 2 bottles of "mouthwash" (diet), earplugs and blind folds and a stack of headshots of Christina in knit hats. Also, a wide assortment of orange and green empty perscription bottles labeled "votives" (candles not included) have been donated, but donations seem to be greatly appreciated. Problem #3 Don't we need film to edit? If not I can splice in old movies and sitcoms. Thanks, Techstyle

Dear Techstyle,I received your memo regarding editing problems.I have paid one of our trailer park neighbors a dollar to spray the ladies with a garden hose so that you can pry Lanre away to help you.As for your request for film,what we have to do is tape over season 3.This might create awkward places where we get a glimpse of HG's in season 3.You will just have to be creative with editing.Maybe one of the life coaches could be "having a flashback".I loved your suggestion about splicing in old sit-coms.Talk about a budget stretcher.I bet you could simply use old episodes of "The Facts of Life".Just switch out our girls faces onto their bodies.You can put Rhonda or Iyanla onto "Mrs.Garret's" frame.If you need any assistance doctoring the pictures,please contact Snowflake Productions.

Attention So Ladies,
Please make sure the curtains are drawn on the SO trailer at night.We have a man that dresses all in black who has been window-peeking.We think he is an obsessive fan.One of the types that thinks that every little thing about our show is real.Please be careful.

"Mistress to the gainfully employed?"

"Pre-Teen Pageant Queen?"

"Hack?"

"Unwelcome visitor?"

"David Letterman's new stalker?" (as if the poor man needs one more!)

At least you said "like to" so that you know that even these goals are a "reach" for you, Lisa1.

Hey! I am *reaching* for something right now. Oh LOOK! it's a JOB APPLICATION! Sorry, Lisa1, but as your
Accountability Partner, I must inform you that on this application, and all others? Under the section where it says, "Employment Desired" you aren't allowed to write in "None" or "Bony Ho'" M'Kay?

Wait until dark, "borrow" the Starting Over trailer van to downtown LA, look for man in white suit that looks like retro John Travolta but in a not-so-good way, look for matching fedora with feather in his cap, lots of gold chains, and purple disco shirt. He will either be sitting in the drivers seat or leaning on an expensive car or limousine. Tell him you like men, and easy money. Tell him Rhonda Britten sent you.

He's gainfully employed, after all. If you are good enough? Maybe you can aspire to be his personal mistress. Don't worry. He'll always be employed, and he'll never look to marry you.

You'll have new, skimpy clothes you love so much, and a faux fur in no time!

No one realizes that I am the 'real' Stan-man, and I am sick of all the bitching! Sometimes people have to down-size, thus the trailer. However, we will strive to get another Kim/TJ combo, also maybe an Alli/Cassie as roommates. We'll try and get the son in for Alli to mother and Cassie to sing "Good Morning" to him. Jill of course will be there to record the meeting along with Jessica, who is now the national Kleenex spokesperson. Lisa sent an email, via Internet Man, that she wants to bring her latest best girl-pal, Christina, who may be able to attract some billionaires. Me thinks we will have to get a triple-wide...is there such a thing?? Oh me, the guru of all gurus is now getting bamboozled! Alas, alas!!!

Sorry, but all film of "The Facts of Life" has been destroyed by the original cast members of that show. So, I'm working up a few other ideas, going through my old collections for splice -ins. Please note: the "board member" house guests are asking for professional guidance for life coaches, or better yet, they are offering to give it themselves. Also, I've heard ( to save costs) make -overs are now slated to be done with acrylic paints (straight out of the tube ) for all make-up and "clothing coating" A term coined by someone ? where, "everything old is new again WITH a coating of acrylic paint" Again, the house guests from the board are requesting real talent such as Stacy and Clinton makeovers. Another note: Rhonda has sent out a memo stating this season is about "Life Plumping", a new marketing term, whatever that means, and it should not at all be confused with life saving, or not life saving, (Please hold on to that toothpick and pen light) In this way, less is more , or more is less, but she doesn't have to commit until the season is over. Taping over of season 3 sounds great except for some words from Iyanla and Dr. Stan. PS, Lanre says thanks for hosing down the girls! Not all the new hg's have checked in, so, what to do?

Ladies, you are getting diverted. Those bi&*%es have no degrees, no empathy for people truly troubled and deeply hurting. They're only interested in outdressing and out-blinging one another. I, on the other hand, really relate to these deeply troubled women. My wife and I are now in the process of adopting Kim, hubby, and Jax. Many SO gals have volunteered to help with baby-sitting. What do you guys think??

Mr Black (Dr. Stan) please don't adopt Kim , her hubby and their son. It is just plain(too) weird for viewers. You slid by with the crying last season because you have a degree, and it was touching, but let it go now.

Petmama.....EMTBGRL.....I need you to run to the store.I would do it myself but I do not want that mugger to hurt me.After I finish the bottle of wine I am drinking I only,oops I mean we only have two more left.Can't last too long on that.I have a lot of cleaning to do anyway.That window peeker keeps leaving smudges on the windows.Last night I caught him red-handed!I cleaned our smudged windows immediately!I forgot to call the police because I was too busy cleaning.Anyway,Lisa may have caught him because she took off running after him.

*Lisa is sitting on the curb drinking Allison's wine from the bottle (covered in a brown paper bag). She passes it to the would-be-mugger seated next to her and he takes a sip*

"Sooo. I was wondering...you know, just curious...just how much does a mugger actually make???"

*bats eyes*


Hey, it's a living!

I'll go. Lisa's got one mugger occupied. My Jodi mask'll scare the others away.

Here, let me finish up on the list!Let's see.....5 bags potato chips,24 steaks, we can't forget those! I've gotten so used to eating them now.2 bags of carmel corn,10 frozen pizzas,candy,12 bottles of wine......oh and bottled water and fresh vegetables because I am on a health kick.Here is my charge card.You can't expect SO to pay for things like this with almost no advertising left.Besides,it doesn't matter because I will just charge my little heart out and then declare bankruptcy again!(wrinkles nose adorably)And Petmama...this time if you get mugged could you please not use my precious wine to defend your life?I mean,I have really tried to forgive you but it hasn't been easy.Your mugging was very difficult for me to come to terms with.Plus, everyone acted like you were the victim and that was difficult too.It was like my feelings about your attack were secondary.I hate that! I hate when clueless people don't understand my pain!(throws charge card at petmama and runs away crying)

And, your organic flaxseed. I'd better add that to my list.

*Lisa is knocking on the bent screen door of the Starting Over trailer*

"Hello? Hello??? Anyone there? My uh, partner here (elbows mugger standing next to her who is guzzling wine out of a brown paper bag) and I were wondering if we could be on the Couples Bootcamp Show. We are broke and have no where to go want to improve our relationship."

"Well? Can we stay here?"

"RE: Free Rent?"
Posted by petmama on 08-29-06 at 05:17 PM
Sure thing. You can room with Allie. I was getting sick of her, anyway. I'll just set my tent up in the back yard. And, surround it with motion detectors.
"Layne!"
Posted by EMTBGRL on 08-30-06 at 11:17 PM
I was on my way to the store (anything to get out of this house)and I was planning on running off--(sans straight jacket, etc.) but I didn't have the heart to leave without finding out where the sobs were coming from what I thought was OUTSIDE. But, no, it was coming from a guesthouse closet. Inside it? Layne. Remember her? The blonde former HG that Allison was so JEALOUS of? Layne was told she'd be the first HG ever to get to STAY and help the new HG's? Then, she never reappeared again?

Now? We know *WHY* we never saw her again. She was in the guesthouse closet--and not by accident.

(Someone's been sneaking in here to feed and water Layne, but she's too traumatized to say WHO did this to her.)

Who do you suspect? and why?

Buddha's back! Sorry I missed the final thread, you guys, but I finally got back to a place with internet. So I'm all in!

Layne moved into the guestroom right before Sommer returned to complete her last two steps and graduate. Then, she overheard the women talking about a former HG returning. She heard Jodi mention Tess. That's why she hid in the closet until SO prcured the trailor. Allison snuck her into the hall closet. And, has been supplying her with food and water.

I just read on my station that the producers cancelled the Starting over show. What's happening is it or did it go. What happened to the show? Rachel Ray will be in the time slot starting Sept 15.

The show has been cancelled. You may be able to catch reruns on some stations for a little while longer but the show is over.

This thread is a spoof...

Starting Over is over. It was cancelled after Season Three despite some attempts by fans last spring to try to encourage another season. Petitions were signed, calls were made but the show is done. There were only three seasons and a couples bootcamp but no Season Four. All comments about a Season Four here are just for laughs. Any Starting Over episodes now being shown are reruns. Hope that helps.
