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."
Christie has lots of excuses for failing and they usually involve other people getting in her way. Today it was Jodi's fault she didn't take the initiative to get involved and ask for what she needed. It would be easy enough to go up to one of the instructors and ask what can I work on and move apart from Jodi and separate herself from being dominated if that's what she felt was happening. I think she has a hard time watching others enjoy themselves and be happy doing it. Pouting isn't a coping strategy it's a manipulative one that she then encouraged Cassie and the rest of the pack in.
I also agree it would be great to have her express real compassion about her brother's situation and even show her researching some other options to get him help, even using SO's contacts, Dr. Stan's resources etc. to get her brother/mother some help. I think SO has a tendancy to encourage the HG to take on the role of coach before they can take care of themselves. I would not want to see Christie with the care of a teenager.
