Anyone know whatever happened to her?
She seemed to be the one most in need of help and I haven't heard anything about her since the show.
If anyone has an update or a link to information about her, I would be very grateful!
Thanks...
Take Care of you & yours

Hopefully she's fine and living her life the way she wants. Not into the DAW-dom like the rest of those losers from the other seasons. And welcome to the boards!

Have you checked out your new siggies at the other site?

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. Must See TV

I remember Andy had posted on her site that Lori was getting married and she was going to be a bridesmaid. They had pics posted on andy's site. centsofstyle.org

She is a fine example of what that house should of been about. She can in damaged, she learned some tools and skills, she left starting to heal. They didn't cure her but they sure sent her on her way to be repaired.

I never watched the Chicago HG's until the Summer reruns with the last six to graduate. Other than Maureen, who briefly returned to the second SOH, I only heard about the other Chicago HG's. Wasn't Lori the young widow who couldn't get past losing her husband? And, kept her hair long in his memory?

Yep that's the one. She felt she couldn't cut her hair because as long as she had it, she had the last bit of her that he touched. She did though cut it and donate it to Locks of Love. Unlike Christy of the last season, she hadn't dyed it 5 different colors so they actually had alot to donate. It was past her waist and she cut it into a super short bob.

I see you got your answer from another but wanted to add:

She found her husband dead on the bathroom floor....they hadn't been married all that long..

Lori by far was the most in need of help.

When she found out she was going to graduate she freaked out and (to a point) reverted back to her old self.

They brought back Andy to help her through the process.

Last thing she did to heal was to let go of her wedding ring.

I am glad Lori was on the show the first half of the first season...any other time and she would have been a goner.

Lori by far was one of the more memorable houseguests and one of the ones that did the most with what she learnd without needing more than the 15mins of fame she got from being on the show.

Lori was what Starting Over started out to be. A show that actually helped and didn't (slowly) revert to gutter drama.

>Lori was what Starting Over started

So true! She was one of those rare cases that you were excited to see her progress because actual real progress. Rhonda was her coach and for that first part of the season didn't resort to nutty little exercises and bs.

But you are right, had she been on any other season or cast, she would of been completely lost in the shuffle. So I'm glad she was on when she was and she actually got something out of it.

Yep, yep, yep....if anyone who hasn't watched the first half of the first season and has a chance to, DO...

First half of the first season was fantastic....it began to slowly go downhill when Murray (female producer) died in Jan of the first season..Burnim (male producer) took over and made it into a Real World type format. It's when Christine, the so called horse trainer, model, vet aid, etc etc etc came on the show is when the gutter drama slowly began to creep in.

Lori made it through cause Lori was equipped with common sense and a brain...only other person on the series who also had both of these qualities was Susan from season two (?)....Both were there for the right reasons and both learned and went on with life.

Oh, no no no. Nyanza was when this show's credibility went downhill. Nyanza was one of the very first 6 houseguests, and she was pure evil from the start. Nyanza was evil, toxic, substitute your worst word here. Nyanza was ten times worse than Wisconsin Christine2 could ever have been. The producers knew Nyanza was toxic and the graduated her anyway, and in the nex breath they sent Christine home. The real failure in that season was graduating Nyanza while sending Christine2 home.

I would agree except the show did know Ny was toxic....imho. I feel Ny was just a legend in her own mind.......BUT the show knew Christine was drama...which is what they needeed for sweeps month...They knew they were bringing in a pathological liar but wha they didn't know was Christine's hidden adjenda.

The week before Christine was sent home she was seen going in to a modeling agency by Brenda who had alrdy gratuated and was going to lunch. Not knowing this wasn't an assignemnt she mentioned it to Rhonda.

Now remeber back to the day the kids were there and Christine got pissed and didn't wait on a call from Rhonda? Well, the show had found out she had yet another appt to another agncy and was setting up to catch her..hence the reason she had to wait for a call..to stall her. She got caught and next day was gone.

Both were toxic, if that is the word we are using, each in their own way.

Best scene/laugh of all the seasons:

When, forgor ehr name, but when the young lady *bruised* Christine's foot by opening the bathroom sink drawer and they get into it:

Young Lady to Christine: Forty and she justs doesn;'t get it.....meaning Christine doesmt understand but Christine inteprets this to mean sex and says I get sex more than you honey.

As for who is worse I feel Christine definitely was...NY didn't leave two kids behind in the dead of winter in WI without running water and then to boot the heating goes out soon after she enters the house.

Ny didn't brag on and on about having thoroughbreds horse..well the horse they showed looked very neglected..but what do you expect from someone who neglects their own kids.

Ny may have been toxic but her ways didn't effect anyone else whereas Christine's did.

How do you think, were Lori a Season 3 HG, Allison would've affected her?

>How do you think, were Lori
>a Season 3 HG, Allison
>would've affected her?

I think if Lori watched the last of season one and all of season two she never would have applied to be on the show.

She had something most didn't: common sense.

Lori would be one that makes me wonder about women who might have applied for the show but didn't because of the obvious bad turn it took. Guess we'll never know. If Starting Over, Season One, was rerun I think a lot of "Lori's" would apply but as it ended up, nobody in their right mind would bother.

Nods in agreement........only ones that made it (Other than Susan, who I adored and felt she was there for the right reasons) are ones that wanted 15mins plus of fame.

Sidenote and off topic:

Why the good ole doc ever agreed to be on this show was beyond me....he was there to make the show look legit but all it did was lower his own crediabilty.

I followed SO for all three seasons.

IMO, the women of the "Chicago House" (Season One) were the most real and authentic.

As a group, I felt their life stories the most compelling, compared with Seasons Two and Three.

I think moving to LA was a big mistake. The Season 2 and 3 houses seemed to draw a slew of star stuck DAW's.

Well, rumour had it they were being investiagted in Chicago so instwad of facing the accusations to clear their *good* (sic) name they ran to Hollywood where anything goes.

Investigated for what? Neighbors' complaints about the noise pollution from Josie's loud, srhreiky crying? Especially when Rain was trying to keep her from giving in to Jonathan's demands that she leave the SOH? I saw that episode in a Summer Series rerun. And, man, she was making enough noise to be heard in China.

LOL...but that was one heck of a good scene...

Naw, the rumour was that the local LC's etc were up on arms in how the tv LC's were guiding the ladies...see per an LB's job, they are to guide a person twards a goal such as a job etc they are not to counsel etc..which is what the tv LV's were attemtping to do...hence come the second season they bring in the good ole Doc to make it look legit.

The same "legit" doc who testified at Michael jackson's trial, that he didn't really molest anyone?

Sad to say: yeppers

I only saw Season One in summer reruns. But, I do remember Rana being more goal oriented than Rhonda or Iyanla. And, seeing on many different MB's, that most viewers condidered her the best LC. What's your opinion of her?

In my opinion Rana was the tops....she had compassion which set her apart from Rhonda.
