BTDT ...as usual, you nailed that one! I couldn't have said it better...I guess, she's become the new "Kim" in the self absorbed category....she's made little to no progress during her stay. She wants to lead, but isn't capable and it's draining her to keep pretending to be someone she isn't.

...and you're absolutely correct in that the only perceived progress is on behalf of the other HG's in their adjustments to her demands.
