camsmom 4 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 11-06-05, 01:27 AM (EST) "Is Rhonda trying to show up Inyala?" I've been watching this show since it first started, and Rhonda's personality has really changed. I think she's trying to show up Inyala. Inyala is the one with true wisdom and depth. Rhonda was always the nice and sensitive one. Latley, she's been spazzing out on the women, I think she feels like she has to be bold and bulnt to compete with Inyala. Is this a new tough love approach or has she lost it? Does anyone understand where Rhonda's coming from? Why do you think her approach has changed?   Top

The first season I think Rhonda was totally herself, and a very good life coach who worked well with the women and didn't have to bully anyone....at that time Rana was also a LC and she was SO awesome...calm, cool and collected, the show was top notch. AND the womens goals were all different, some kinda fun in fact, not all heavy and life threatening like the past two seasons. Then season two IV comes in and rules the roost. It seemed at first RH and IV didn't even get along that well because IV was trying be 'Head Life Coach' when that was kinda RHs role on season 1....she seemed to be stepping on RHs toes. But, like any good LC would, RH had to find a way to get along with IV and she really bought into IVs 'TOUGH LOVE' way of doing things, and since then RH has gotten more and more mean and sarcastic....and lost her gentle touch. I think IV is very controlling, has taken over the show, is probably pretty hard to work with behind the scenes....and RH has been infected by her! Just MHO   Top

I agree, I think that Rhonda in some way, shape or form is trying to scare the HG's. All I can say is that it would do me no good to be in the SO House because when someone tries to "scare" me it gets the wrong reaction. Instead of calming down and saying okay I'll do whatever you want I tend to jump back and from there it just comes down to whose going to win. I don't understand what Rhonda is trying to do with Lisa if you want someone to come out of their shell and actually attempt to be successful in life you sure in the h*** do not scare them. I think that a big DUH needs to be shouted out. And what's up with the face making? Does anyone know??   Top

It truly saddens me to say that I believe that Rhonda has just become so full her herself that she has lost all touch with reality. It seems like SO has taken a back seat to the new book Rhonda will be promoting (and already is), and the so-called marathon she will be running in the Spring. One person can only do so much, and with her involvement in her own business venture (Fearless Living Institute), she can't have much time left to really devote to anyone but herself.   Top

The bottom line with SO is the same as any other television show... SUCCESS! The bottom line with Iyanla Van Zandt and Rhonda Britton is similar...growing careers, growing noteriety, and growing bank accounts. Winning an Emmy put SO on a new plane. Everyone connected with the show feels like they had something to do with that success - especially the two constant cast members, Rhonda and Iyanla. Celebrity has a way of changing even the most genuine person. Last season, I thought Iyanla was so maternal and loving that some of the needier women could have become TOO attached to her. This year, she seems "off"...almost as if there is a barrier around her. Her weird assignments (almost designed to be confusing), more ethereal counsel ("speak to the universe"), and an almost offensive aggression towards the women in their day to day sessions may be signals that, for Iyanla, SO has run its course. I think she may even be tiring of Allison, an obvious favorite. When she is at her best, I love her. Rhonda doesn't have a personality that is anywhere near as BIG as Iyanla's. Actually, I was glad that she was as strong with Lisa as she was. Although a lot of people think Rhonda was power drunk, I think she spoke to Lisa as if she was a child, which, after all, is what Lisa is. It was probably the most effective way to get her message across. In the long run, however, it probably won't make much of a difference. Lisa is going nowhere fast. She needs REAL therapy - intensive therapy. I suspect we'll meet some new life coaches in the seasons to come.   Top
