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."

"I Think We Are Being Played" |
i was reading the threads about the new Lisa and the discontent with the LC's but, as usual, I have another take on it. Perhaps because of my background in film I notice little things like head positions, arm movements and the like. While it seemed that the LC's were bashing the new housemate, I also noticed the terrible edits. One minute IV was on the floor. The next minute she was sitting in the chair. While the NuLisa is crying, Christina is laughing. IV mocking in one scene, speaking with compassion in another. Christina picking clothes one minute, picking art off the walls the next. The looks of wonder or horror on the women's faces which are often out of context with what is being said. For some reason this show is being edited at the LC's expense. I wonder how long the session actually ran and what happened between those cuts? In the re-runs, I also noticed many things that seemed to be out of context --choppy statements, responses to questions that just don't seem to fit. While we seem to have reason to bash the LC's, I really want to bash the editors for creating such a hodpodge for us the viewers. It is obvious that they under estimate us. It is obvious that they go for the drama, the silliness and in some cases, lead us to the worst possible thought we can muster about the women and the LC's. To leave a hanging B---- between TJ and Jill was down right low and positions the women in the worse light. When you call someone a B you do not then stare at the ceiling. In fact, the shot was moving when we heard it. I suspect it was said at another time. Here is what I see. Bad editing!!!!!! 24 hours down to 55 minutes is a lot of editing to do. The women are not as stupid, helpless or horrible as they are portrayed. If the LC's are as horrible as they are often portrayed, I know Jill wouldn't stand for it and I don't think any one in their right mind would either. There is something, probably many things we do not see. They want us talking because that is what keeps us tuning in. Here is what I know. These women are getting something they need and I don't think it is mocking or disrespect. I saw it last year with most of IV's client and some of RB's. I see it this year with Jill and Jessica and believe it or not with Allison. Something is going on behind the scenes or between the scenes that we do not see. We may not always like or understand the LC's tactics but somehow, I am going to hold on until the end, until the day I see that look in the women's eyes that says thank you. Remember this is reality and sometimes, it is stranger than fiction! Something great is brewing for Jill. I can see it after those experts. Christina - - well, I don't think she is off the pole yet and that is exactly what IV said to her remember, "I know you are hustling me." TJ, needs help beyond anything RB can munster. Lisa, I really don't think RB knows what to do with her. The new woman, it remains to be seen but IV has demonstrated more than once that she is committed to a woman's growth, no matter what it may take or look like. Sorry for the length of this post but today, it was my journal exercise. Final Thoughts - -Just watch for the things that don't make sense and seem out of context. You will see them.
