standinmytruth, I noticed that too. In my opinion, that's because Christie is not only judgemental, but completely self-absorbed. Therefore, all her judgements of other people are based on how those people make Christie feel about herself. Jodi usually tries to pump up Christie, and she also helps her with the 5K, so Christie can look a little less stupid than she actually is. So Jodi can get a few nice words from Christie at the graduation...but only in how Jodi affects Christie herself. Also, Christie probably imagines that she looks soooo thin standing next to Jodi, so this is another reason Jodi is "acceptable" to Christie. ***However, Christie may want to re-evaluate this, because when Jodi's mom was taking the pic of the 2 of them, Christie didn't exactly look that skinny next to Jodi:

But when Jodi made Christie feel stupid and not the center of attention during the "DIY" exercise, Christie whined, "Her mask is coming back, her mask is coming back!" Kim? Christie knew Kim was prettier than she is; therefore Kim=a bad person. The people at "Passages"? They made Christie feel poor, and the women were better looking than Christie; therefore they were bad people with nothing to offer Christie. Christie's mom? Christie is p!ssed because her mom had her own issues, and couldn't get her act together enough to drag Christie's fat @ss to modeling agencies, where Christie would have *undoubtedly* been discovered as the World's Most Beautiful Woman. <<eyeroll>> Therefore, Christie's mom=a bad person. Niambi? Niambi is thinner than Christie, and has more of a model/athlete's body; therefore, Niambi=a bad person.
