1. "RE: Will there be a Season 4?" |
I have read the posts here and it seems to me that most comments were based on the fact that the web site was down. I hope that the show continues for another season. I am not really feeling all of the houseguests but I do like watching. Would like to know if anyone has REAL info about the show ending.

No disrespect taken, huntjl! Sorry, it's just a time filler in my mind. There are tons of better places to extract the info people seek by watching this show, IMO. I know lots of people LOVE this program, they wouldn't have the ratings they did if there weren't viewers galore. Still...it's a form of vicarious therapy, and since everyone's life is unique, should not be taken so seriously!Why not email NBC producers of this show? Or email SO on their website, which is now working again. Or write a letter. I think that last year renewals were announced at the end of March, after the Jan-Feb ratings, and in line with awards nominations for daytime tv. Nobody posting here will know the facts on the future of this show.

I had to wait 6 days until I could get on, since last Friday. I have never had that happened since I have been on computers. Season 4 has to happen. The show does for me help and open my eyes to new views and spiritual awareness. Love Ya Mean It Starting Over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had posted a link in General Discussion:websites http://homepage.mac.com/ijball/ratv/articles/05-06/status05-06.htmlAs of this time, the show has not been cancelled. Also, if Fox doesn't renew it, I guess Bunim-Murray could shop it to another network. People need to keep in mind, this reality show that is very cheap to make. Every person that has come on as an "expert" (excepting the LC's and Dr. Stan) were probably compensated with publicity only. They live in one house. They don't give out cash prizes and every graduate award is given by the show's sponsor, not out of the B-M pocket. B-M would be stupid to give up their cash cow. I will say though I don't think IV will be back. She's tired of being tied down to a show and that's obvious. Also, obvious that B-M and Fox are trying to grab the Tyra Banks (who is the lead in for my area) crowd and hence Christina the Ho storyline with Karrine (who also was interviewed by Tyra). If they want more younger market share and don't get it, they may cancel for that reason. On the website being down... personally I think that was simply due to stupidity. Someone didn't know what the right hand was doing and I bet a head rolled on it.

I've been watching since season 1, and all I can say is this show has gone "Hollywood" its all about the drama and BS, its so not about helping anymore...there's a time limit(how long they stay) and excuses made for bad behaviour, I honestly hope that if they don't go back to the original concept that they do get cancelled...this show is worse than any soaps on now, at least with the soaps I know that when they call upon "witchcraft" or "demons" its all in fun and not real..but this show tries to hide behind the whole "we'll make you better" plateau...which is just BS as we've unfortunatly seen this season...

17. "RE: Will there be a Season 4?" |
When I read the official website was gone I laughed because it wasn't that I thought the show would follow step but it confirmed my belief SOH is lost, just lost. Here they had a unique concept, something truly worth watching that could actually benefit women instead of the usual television crap which is to exploit and degrade them. The obvious clever editing that depicts the women either as villian or angel disturbs me most. Even past houseguests have clearly stated the editing doesn't show the reality of their time in SOH. So, why believe anything anymore? I sure don't. I rely on other sources, rare as they are, for info regarding the housemates. Rumors *used to be sort of fun to read, now they bore me. I watch when I can, never record if I can't, which is certainly different than Season One where I really was hooked on a daily basis. Iyanla won't return, at least that's what I hear. Good. (did I hear she faked a fainting episode?) But her exit is just too late although from the little I've seen of her recently she's relaxed her style somewhat in recent weeks. Nonetheless, considering the damage she caused--too little, too late. Rhonda, too, has jumped on the same shameless self-promoting train. She just comes off as someone pretending to be a coach, reading from a script, and doing it all like an amateur or a fake. Will SOH return? Probably. Just a guess based on the other tripe we have on in the daytime hours. I'm over being mad or insulted about it and hopefully can resist the urge to tune in. I hate to state the obvious but the only saving grace for the SOH is to Start Over--clean slate, get back to the original concept or really this show can drop dead for all I care. Hey producers if you're listening...clue: Get the hell out of LA. That would be Step One to regaining any validity to SOH.

LAST EDITED ON 01-24-06 AT 00:39 AM (EST)Ditto the previous post...Rhonda confirms that the show taping through May is already in the can. So everything we see is very very old, and the show is even farther behind real time that we thought, more like 4 to 5 months out. Rhonda is starting her speaking tours for the summer, and no news on IV yet. Or possible replacement.

You should see all new episodes up through May, the end of the season. On their website, which is being neglected, for Monday, they are saying "August 25, 2005...the women...". I think that is just a screwup there. Probably be a new show today. The footage is all shot, all they have to do is organize it into shows, i.e., edit the mess together. Allison, in an article dated 12-12-05, mentioned that she was graduated, and talked about her plans and her grad gifts. So, yeah, it is a couple months behind "real time". It gets more confusing, because on Jill's alleged website, her comments correspond to the "real" date of the show, even though thru Rhonda's blog statements, we know they are all gone by now. So we figure either Jill isn't doing the site, or she has to conform to what is being shown, and perhaps is commenting herself on the show as she watches episodes. Who knows, maybe she has some time now because she may have had her surgery and is home recuperating? No one knows. Don't worry about it!

When you think about it the show is like the Real World for adults. They dont need the life coaches, just put a bunch of messed up women in a house and then phone in the assignments. Have a live moderator like the hosts they have for The Bachelor and other reality TV. Send them their assignments in packages to the front door.That way there is no liability from messed up cast memebers..I think they put the house in LA so you wouldnt know the time, Chicago has seasons...I really dont care how or when they do it, I think its fun!!

I found this comment re this same subject on another site. Interesting how they see THIS site. Ha ha!"I recently starting watching the show again and have to say not much has changed. Sad. What a great concept. I really believe the show received a lot of mail from women who feel, as I do, that the episodes became more and more insulting to our intelligence and common sense. If ratings tanked they only have themselves to blame and they should have listened and not underestimated their viewers. And I have to say--referring fans to that hate-site forum, RealityTv, was a terrible mistake. You don't build a fan base by plugging a site that hates the show, hates the houseguests and doesn't even mind harassing them after they are graduated. To Tara and the others who manage this site: Thanks for having this SOH forum and providing the civilized discussions which I read from time to time...it's why I even decided to start watching SOH again. I think SOH will be history after this season. As it should be." At least we can speak our mind here without getting "bashed" by other posters, and especially the mods. The Mod over at that site bash posters for criticizing the HG's. I guess that makes us a "hate" site. haha

50. "Latest on the confirmation side" |
Our board owner contacted BMP to try to confirm the cancellation of SO. He got an unsurprising runaround. Then he mentioned the e-mail to our poster from the Houston affiliate. The other end of the phone got real quiet. Eventually, she said she'd call him back.Needless to say, he's not drumming his fingers by the phone. And as Mystic first pointed out, someone in Houston may well have said something he/she shouldn't have. With the other info we've gotten, looks like all we need now is the smoking gun. As I said before, technically, the renewal or not of a show is not spoiler material. But I'd like to keep this thread here now for the reason of not causing more widespread panic than there's been.

I don't know if it's true, but I sure hope it is! http://www.thefutoncritic.com/cgi/showatch.cgi?id=starting_overI'm confused about the having to remove the link comment. Here's what the above site says about the status of Starting Over: STARTING OVER (SYNDICATION, 2003-PRESENT) VIEWING RELATED PROJECT INFORMATION · produced by: nbc universal · genre: alternative (hour) · time slot: syndicated (find your local station) · status: currently airing (2005-2006 season) · current season: 3 (N/A episodes) · visit the official web site · tv.com · imdb.com · additional notes: series is being offered to local stations for the 2006-07 season So, this announcement is a bit premature. I hope it's true. I am so addicted to this train wreck of a show! Miranda

Why WOULD there be a season 4?? They can't even get the chicks that have already been through the "process" to move on with their lives without another "stay" at the Insane Asylum... Seems to me like the original idea was a good one, and it's just steadily gone downhill since then. This is especially true if they bring back Cassie2 and Sommer... Look at how long it took them to get old Allushson out of the house... Now they're sending LocoLisa home to do some "work" and will bring her silly bony butt back at the end of the season. It's perfectly fitting that this is the last season of this what once was, a perfectly good show that's become a JOKE. JMHO

Now more reruns appear on 2/20, back to TJ, Lisa, Christina trying to get her photos off the net. Since it's just late Oct right now, and they ended Jan 9, that's about 10 weeks to fill, minus the holidays when they probably break for home a bit. Lisa 1 has "30" days. Just a week or two or three of reruns to get to March, then they only need about 9 or 10 weeks of shows..... and it's over in May. I predict Lisa will be back or featured for ratings near the end of the season, to graduate with the others, one giant party. Maybe a final cast party....bigger than any others??? Somewhere on a spoiler someone mentioned Kim was only there for 3 weeks, a relative or co-worker said that in a post. It doesn't seem that Jodi has much to work on, Jill will probably graduate after next week-long Andy Paige visit, then reruns, then to the finish line. Kelly looks like a massive project needed, she'll probably be the huge character for spring shows. Just guessing. Maybe the reruns are a cost savings feature too.
