Baxtera, I agree.

Issue #1:

I think the DIY exercise illustrated one of Christie's personality traits...she sits back on her @ss, then looks for other people/situations to blame for not accomplishing something. And yes, she tried to get a posse going against Jodi. Then when she was confronting Jodi, she could conveniently toss out, "And I'm not the ONLY ONE who had a problem with your behavior."

Issue #2:

While I'd like to see Christie express some GENUINE concern for her brother's situation, I agree that being in Christie's care might not be in his best interest. I don't think Christie has really acquired all the "tools" she is always professing she now possesses. I think she is simply allowing her "addiction" to being a faux-celebrity to temporarily replace her drug, alcohol, food, and men addictions. I wonder what Christie's life will look like when her 15 minutes is up? And for all of her own addictions, I thought Christie's mom seemed a lot more loving, honest, and less judgemental and bitter than Christie (although to be fair, we only saw her briefly).
