"Antonia's Apartment" |
I missed what the apartment looked like on the outside but the apartment manager threw a red flag up for me, is this in a safe part of CA? BTW, where is the SO filmed? Is that Northern Cal?

Why is she looking for an apartment now if she is supposed to be in the Starting Over house? That apartment was available immediately and she is in no way ready to support herself. Is this just another one of SO's "pie in the sky" goals like being an Artist, a Woodcarver, an Errand Angel, a Model, a Fashion Stylist, etc. etc. etc. Sigh.

Hello??? I thought the same thing, what is she doing trying to get into an apartment now? I'm concerned about how long she will be able to even hold down a job with that spoiled brat attitude of hers. She needs to get a reality check in a big way, she is rude and she is spoiled, if she dosen't buy some humility with that last $20.00 of hers she is going to be in for a rude awakening!!! BTW, I think she is very rude to the life coaches and I'm surprized they haven't let her know that, straight up!!!

How do I put this? He had long hair and an earing. I know that sounds petty and trust me, this is from one who had a nose piercing, but there is a way to dress when you are a Property Manager. He's a good looking man but not groomed for that job IMHO.

Ujena...this is Los Angeles, after all...anything pretty much goes. I live in the LA area. At least the guy looked like he had clean clothes on. I know Antonio works in North Hollywood now, and the apartment and price range fits this area. Maybe SO closes the deal for her as a graduaton gift. Although, she still has to furnish the place. Perhaps she can borrow a TV tray from Christie dining room.

We already know that Antonia is in debt up to her eyeballs. I think that a fancy pad with a door-man would have been out of her price range. I did'nt think it looked like a bad place.

>We already know that Antonia is >in debt up to her >eyeballs. I think that a >fancy pad with a door-man >would have been out of >her price range. I >did'nt think it looked like >a bad place. I think anyplace is out of Antonia's price range! What's wrong with Antonia not moving out on her own until she gets a job, pays off some of her debt, and saves enough money to live on for 6 months if something goes seriously wrong in her life, or if she loses her job? The SOH pushes people to realize their futures and then sets them up to be ridiculous. I don't think that place was bad, for an adult with a job. That's right, I said "adult." I think that's a little premature for Antonia-- And HELLOOOooo?? the girl is still wearing eyeglasses with one stem, and she's going to rent an APARTMENT?

Ok we all know how SO works by now.Antonia has to do some very heavy thinking bout how she got herself in this position....*smirks* Then the LC humiliates her by telling her it is cause she isn't communictating with her daddy.........*laughs* They have her shouting out to the universe, which in turns answers by making her filling fall out during of all things a conversation with Jen about her daddy......*giggles* So I have no doubt her graduation will be to leave debt free, since they have those new tough laws. 10 lessons on how to barter your way out of debt and live the high life at 75% off. And in order to be a grown a$$ woman, SO will most likely pay her rent for a year so she can be the 'successful' graduate and not keep reappearing like Sommer, Cassie, Josie and Allison........*ROFLMAO*

I thought there was only a couple of weeks left for the SO season.That would mean she would soon need a place.Was the price six hundred something?I thought that was a little cheap for that area.BTW I thought Jodi trying to negotiate the price of the apartment was a little odd.I have never heard of such a thing.If an apartment is listed at a price it is that price.Someone will rent it.

I do not get how Miss Antonia plans to pay for an apartment whens he has all that debt to pay? I also do not get why she is looking for an apartment now when she isnt even ready to graduate, unless, she knows more thna I do. Which is extremely probable. I was born and raised in California and the apartment was typical of an apartment in North Hollywood. No better or no worse than any others.

Since the episodes are filmed months in advance, I am willing to bet that Antonia has already found and is settled in that cardboard apartment with a can of sterno within her price range.

17. "RE: Antonia's Apartment" |
For southern Calif the manager looked about typical. We lived there for 4 or 5 yrs before returning to Atlanta. I too have no idea how you'd ever find something that clean, maintained, and decent for only $700/mo ... and wasn't she planning for that to include utilities?! We saw only a small part of the outside & almost nothing of the general area but what we saw, it looked well maintained ... couldn't be that bad an area. Somehow, I AGAIN get the feeling we are being led to believe only what SO wants us to believe ... like we are all as stupid as some of the HMs that seem to actually buy all that they are being told by SO (you know, like you are now a superstar, model, artist, brilliant, adored by the masses, a light to millions of women everywhere, your life will never be your own again for now you are a star!)I had to laught though ... Antonia screws up assignment after assignment and Iyanla, into the camera, expresses her concern that Antonia just isn't getting it together. Then less than 24 hrs later she sends this supposed irresponsible, jobless, debt-ridden 26 year old that acts like a 14 year old (Iyanla's words to Antonia) to rent an apt. And of course, in this same few hours Antonia has TOTALLY changed her tune to one of a responsible, independent adult ready to take on the world and several jobs, no longer needing her mother or anyone else, and with solid plans to pay off that debt using her new-found strength and determination. No wonder the "out of work soap writers" scripting this were "out of work". However, Antonia still gets the last laugh in the matter. She did well saying her responsibility speech. However, a short time later she goes into the confessional and spouts: "I asked Jodi to go with me to see the apt because I trust Jodi & I know she is business savy and she really thinks of all the right questions to ask. Shes 38 yrs old. Shes a grown a$$ womas so Im trying to be a grown a$$ woman so I need to be hangn out with a grown a$$ woman so I can ask grown a$$ questions." I can guess which one was scripted and which one was authentic Antonia!! I just love all the miracles the SO mantras produce literally overnight!! After the last day of this season that house should be made into a shrine ... and people who need mental healing could be dunked in the pool, then recieve one of Christie's Blessing Candles ... then they too could live in So.Calif as a superstar/model/writter/artist making as much money as they could possibly dream. Power to the Universe!

hey...it is LA, I live in Sherman Oaks, it is kind of fun seeing them hang out in my neighborhood and have pizza at my favorite place in studio city (caioti cafe), right by where I have my office. but darlin, the truth is here in this area everyone is only working a job until they become a superstar/model/writer/artist and making tons of money....after all this is the six largest economy in the world and there is TONS of it in this area. If you grow up here your used to it, but if you come from somewhere else, it is very intoxicating. I believe that empowerment is good, i think that everyone takes it more verbatim, we should all feel like we can accomplish those things, it is the first step in finding what we can actually accomplish....If I didn't beleive I was going to be successful,l I never would have had the courage to open my own company. I had to believe in my mind that I was a superstar, it worked well for me and humility is my middle name...... there are actually not so nice parts of north hollywood, the nicer areas of no ho, are now called valley village, the part of no ho by the high school (my alma mater)......north is not very good.... and north west is alright...

I believe she was living in LA before she came on the show. She had a roommate which is probably why her rent was only $600.

Here I thought she had such business savvy! lol NOT. Maybe they should have just let Jodi speak her own words instead of reading off a script. Hey Toads, you don't ask, dear....you make a written OFFER and present that along with a deposit. FOOL. Antonia: No job, no known income, bad credit, new resident of state----why, of course, do rush out and look for an apartment. That makes a LOT of sense! LOL *And what's this about Antonia not wanting to have a roomie? That tells me this child is spoiled. What else doesn't she want to share? Wild guess: The Truth why she's even in the house.

Of course she wants to move to LA, they always want to stay where the SO house is. Maybe they should film it in a less densly populated state to even the country out. Antonia lived in Boston a very expensive place to live, (She said an apt would be 600 a month?) she is delusional. In LA you need a car girlfriend and lots of money for gas. You are cute but this idea that you are going to be famous is rediculous. She told Iguana that fame and power were her goals... PLEASE. Get a job and sleep on someones couch for awhile. We all went through it, wake up!

The thing thats the saddest for her is how much shes missing out on with that attitude. The best memories I have are of my "poor" days, we were very creative about finding food (Samples at the grocery store) and entertainment (free cover, three for one shot night) and rent (last one in sleeps on the couch). We walked the malls but couldnt buy anything (No antonia, not everyone said yes to those "free" credit cards) and worked as waitresses at night to pay off our student loans. I am the person I am today because of that. Antonia will never see that and probably will continue to have that hole in her heart for the rest of her life. EWWW, maybe sheŽll turn into a Niambi!!!

36. "RE: Antonia's Apartment" |
Negotiating a rental fee is really dependent upon the owner of the property that's being leased.If you are renting someone's personal income property (two family, second home, etc.), there can be some room for negotiation if the landlord thinks you'll take excellent care of his investment, have good references, and good credit. Generally, they can be very helpful if they see the tenant as a long term asset. If they really like a potential tenant, the LL may even be willing to let the tenant pay the security deposit off on time. A good tenant, one who pays their rent on time and treats the apartment as their own home, is a gem to a LL. When the property being leased is part of an apartment building or complex owned by an organization, it's a different situation. Then it's just business - the rent is the rent, the security is the security. If you can't afford the two bedroom, you had better ask to see the one bedroom.
