PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
If Jodi is so sure that the sight of Kelly and Bethany eating snack food on SO property didn't anger her, then why did she feel the need to rearrange and restate an opinion to the contrary? That is precisely what Jodi did to Bethany. IMO, she wanted to make sure that she could later say, "Bethany said that I wasn't really angry, and SHE was there". Bethany's original answer was, "I could tell you were angry...", but that was immediately neutralized by Jodi's reinterpretation of Bethany's opinion ("I don't think I was angry..."). Did Jodi ever consider that maybe Bethany had something on her mind that had nothing to do with Jodi's Pavlov's dog response to certain smells and sights? Bethany heard their argument; if she wanted to give an eyewitness account, she would have. The truth is that Bethany could tell that Jodi was angry, so Kelly was right when she said that Jodi had an attitude about the snacks.
I am with StandingInMyTruth as far as Kelly is concerned. There isn't much I like about her approach to people or life, but on this one, I can understand her frustration. These women are actually not cooking until after Jodi cooks first because of the smell? I think that's pretty accomodating.
Too bad SO set a precedent last week when they validated the concept that the temptation of one outweighed the liberty of five. It was abundantly clear that Christie's grievance was the impetus for a change in house policy. Why not make another policy change for another HG? Is Jodi any less important than Christie? Are her temptations any less powerful than Christie's? They sent a message last week, and Jodi saw how Christie got what she wanted.
Oh, Jodi; she's supposedly so strong and so in control, yet the smell of bacon or the sight of a potato drives her to her knees. And yet she still walks around with so much pride, finding women in distress who need the shoulder, ear, and counsel of an unofficial life coach.
These women never cease to amaze me with their self-centered view of life. I don't know if what they really need to be hearing is the mantra of SO: "You are #1 (and #2, and #3, and #4, and #5)!" I think most of them have got that part down pat.
I think I know why Jodi is alone in her personal life. It's lonely at the top
