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."

"Misunderstood Vegan?" |
I hardly ever post on message boards, but after tonights show I can't keep my big mouth shut. Can Barbara be anymore hypocritical when she preaches about healthy living and then goes and lights a smoke while she's drinking a beer??? She then has the nerve to talk about the other woman's parenting when you could actually see her bringing up her own self-esteem while constantly nagging at poor ZZ. Unless I missed something, the point of this show is to try different things and see how other people live, not go to someone elses house and MAKE them live your lifestyle and believe what you believe. If she wasn't so self-centered she would have seen that browbeating is just another word for bully. I feel sooo bad for her poor kids. Maybe some of that 20,000 would have been better spent for her to take some parenting lessons and maybe a class on sensitivity to others. The only misunderstanding here is Barbara's fault, but then again can you blame her ignorance when she's missing half her brain?

LOL, I NEVER post to boards but had to go looking for one to vent tonight after watching. I'm so glad I'm not the only who hated that bi***. She treated them all badly, was so arrogant, SO self righteous, but the crowning touch for me was when she abused their dog. If somebody came into my home and did that to my dog, I'd smack her. then to preach health and light up a smoke, subject those poor people to her video - when they sneaked out, I LMAO. Don't get me wrong, I'm an animal lover, work with dog rescue, but as in all things a little moderation and consideration go a long ways toward getting along with people. THEN to leave part of their money to CHARITY?? OMG, how arrogant!!!

I have never been to this site before but after seeing tonights show, June 21, the Vegan ......, I am so bothered by her abuse of the dog let alone poor ZZ, I had to look up and write to this show how bad this was. I probably will not watch again unless I hear that this woman has been brought up on cruelty charges. I watched this show to be entertained not be subjected to watching animal abuse. I hate this woman. I encourage everyone who was bothered by her abuse to let it be known to the network and or show. Sorry for the rant, I really hated this woman!!!

3. "RE: Misunderstood Vegan?" |
My thoughts exactly. I couldnt believe it when she went out and smoked a ciggaret after talking about how eating animal meat causes cancer and how it isnt healthy for her. She needs to stop being a hypocrit(SP). She is so two sided. She says one thing but she does another. Also another thing that she's hypicritical about is when she talked about how much she loves animals than she took their dog smacked it than held its head down in the pee about three different times. I couldnt believe it when she did that, i wanted to scream. i thought that what she did to their dog was very mean. i mean yeah the dog peeing on the floor was wrong but did she really need to smack it than hold its head down in the pee three times come on now. I also was thinking i wonder how he would feel if someone did that to her. The whole thing with the talking about eating meat being cancerous and bad for your health than going out and smoking after that.she's such a hypocrit(SP).

Barbara is such a hypocrite! I wish Diana would have earmarked some of the money for the therapy Barbara's children will need in the future. Barbara put the "dys" in dysfunctional! And which one of her kids is the boy and which one is the girl? Maybe need to earmark a little extra money for that identity crisis in the future also. Finally a tv show that made the average cajun look itelligent! Notice the love and bonding in the cajun family, compared to the cold, distant reality of the CA family? I think Barbara sees all the errors of her own parenting errors that are subconsciencly bothering her and trying to project them into Diana's family. Also, ZZ is a little more out spoken because he is raised as an only child, probably around adults most of the time, so that is where is common ground and understanding of conversation comes from. I don't think Barbara was ready for someone, especially a child, to confront her! Funny how a child had more common sense that Barbara. And why is Barbara's husband so afraid of her? Oh yeah, because she keeps his b*lls in her night stand and he doesn't get to wear them too often!

Being the vindictive vengeful devil that I am, I would have given ALL 50K of the Vegan mom's money to PETA! Then we would see how much of an animal lover she is! LOL Also did anyone notice how many glasses of booze that woman consumed? She needs to get over herself, have a burger and an O'dols and rethink her duplicitous life.

22. "RE: Misunderstood Vegan?" |
I saw the second part of this show last night. Like many here, I couldn't get it out of my mind! Now, I did keep in mind that it was TV after all, and I know all about editing and making things look one way which can be opposite of what actually happened. I also was inclined to believe that Barbara was an actor playing a part for this show. HOWEVER, I found some posts online ( I forget where I've been!)from the Vegan Beast herself and I don't think an actor or show representatives would go so far as to post on message boards! She concludes that most of what we see isn't a true reflection of what actually happened and says that she is very upset at being portrayed in such an unflattering matter. Give me a break. As many have said, there are enough hateful, cruel and selfish sentiments that came from her own mouth for me to feel free to judge her, indeed, as a hateful, cruel and selfish woman. Maybe Diana had some "hateful..et al" statements that weren't included, we may never know. But that dosn't take away from the fact that Barbara is just a mean, spiteful, razor dotin' woman! I would think that ANY animal activist would know just a little about dog training. You NEVER punish a dog "after the fact"...they have no idea why you are punishing them when an amount of time has passed. And FORCING a dog to rub his nose in urine does nothing but put the dog at risk of injury to his neck, legs or spine. And, PUHLEASE, as a parent of two, I know very well how one must "choose one's battles". If I didn't think brushing was occurring, I would WATCH and INSTRUCT the child how to brush. That whole toothscraping thing was humiliating and pure D gross! And all that talk about healthy living and she SMOKES??? You can't edit that crap! And, writing a freakin' letter to Dianna talking about how "depressed" ZZ was? Because his mother didn't spend time with him?? So, what, she's a psychologist now? That was uncalled for. And, those snide remarks about Dianna and Diego's appearance? And all that, "we don't DO that in Californa" like if it's not "done" in California, the rest of the country is ignorant? And what is this "we love all life" but they kill insects? And Barbara has a warm place in her heart for cows, pigs and chickens but dosn't feel quite the same about alligators because, after all, they're reptiles, not mammals. I find it highly hypocritical to pick and choose what form of "life" you think has value!! I personally take spiders outside rather than kill them and I don't kill snakes, poisonous or otherwise, but I don't get on my high horse and infer that if you don't do as I do and believe as I believe you're some kind of sadist or just plain stupid! Ah, I could go on and on! BUT, what I really want to know is how to reach Diana? I'm thinking I need to take a road trip and go on that swamp tour and buy me some alligator heads!!

8. "RE: Misunderstood Vegan?" |
I feel that she was so out of touch with the real world . she has the aditude that what she does is right and everyone else is wrong. she was close minded. why did she even want to do the show besides the money. she told the family before she read the letter that no matter what it said they were to be happy. she almost threw a fit before she saw that 20000 of it was hers. if she is so eco friendly why was she so against spending the money on planting the land. it is people like her that make the real people in america shy away from her type of thinking or looking at her with an open mind. she is close minded ad it show. its all about her......

I really hope that when Barbara seen herself the way everyone else seen her, she felt very ashamed of herself. With any luck she realized how intolorant, self-righteous and ignorant she is and can make this an opportunity to better herself and practice what she preaches. However, as arrogant as she is, I won't hold my breath. I would love the chance to e-mail the cajun family and commend them for showing real class, when even after Barbara insulted Diane's lifestyle and son to her face, she was still able to remain ladylike. My hat's off to you, I could never have been so forgiving. My mother used to drive an 18 wheeler and she has always said how gracious and kind people in Louisiana are, and Diane has proved that.

LAST EDITED ON 06-21-05 AT 09:15 PM (EST)I have never seen hypocrisy like I have seen within the vegan family, and the mom was absolutely horrible, What a b*tch!.., I feel so bad for her kids. The non vegan family was so great, the kid is just so very smart, and the dad even though he looks like a tough rocker, he's like the nicest dude I've ever seen, they're so great!!! I can say that I hate vegans so much now thanks to the vegan family, and the rest of their friends, and how can you pretend to be so good to the animals when you can't be good to humans, It's just totally retarded.... This people need to wake up.

27. "RE: Misunderstood Vegan?" |
As a southerner and vegetarian, i found this woman so offensive. She went into the show not expecting to learn, but to change the world one cajun at a time. She seemed to be under the impression that these people need to be enlightented and she would be the great teacher.. funny outlook for someone who calls herself open minded. She never tried to get to know anyone.. she just kept tring to "sell" veganism. The cajun mom came through with her southern manners and charm, open and kind to everyone, even though the family and their militant vegan friends were quite judgemental when she shared about her life. And the fact that she tried the meat.. sends a terribly confusing message to her kids. she sabotaged herself.. b/c now they will think that it may be ok to eat animal under certain circumstances after she spent all those years teaching veganism. She can cry bad editing all she wants... but they cant create the scenes of her dog spanking, smoking, and verbal abuse. Hopefully she learned smething, seeing herself like that. And I assure all of you not all veggies are out to convert or judge you. Lifestyle is a personal choice.

15. "RE: Misunderstood Vegan?" |
I would have to agree with you 100%. What a very sad woman Barbara was! She was a contradiction in every sense of the word! I felt so sad for that little boy. Imagine being sent back to brush your teeth 3 times because you never did a good enough job! Oh my, she was so tough on him. No compassion at all! And, did she ever have anything to talk about other then being a Vegan....Wow...get over yourself Barbara. The world does not revolve around you and your beliefs. Everyone does the best they can in this world. Yes, we can all learn and grow, but how about seeing some of the light and goodness in others. Even when they don't see things the way you do. That family in Louisiana had so much love and tenderness. They were a beautiful example of family, acceptance and being who you are...Obviously she was sent to them to learn something very valuable about happiness and self love...and loving others...I think that she missed the whole point...Well, at least she has to live with the piece of tape where her child said they were not looking forward to her coming home...because she would be tough on them again...just her being there would make their world, their little life harder...Wow Barbara...Get a load of that!!!! I think you are the one who needs the parenting classes...I will pray for you!!!

17. "California Barbara was embarrassing" |
Like Barbara, I am from California. I'd like to apologize to all Louisianans and anyone else who California Barbara offended. What a horrid woman... telling the world that people from Louisiana are just "behind" California. If that loving cajun family was behind, I'd much rather be behind than enlightened, like California Barbara. Not only was Barbie unhappy, hypocritical, always bitching and preaching, but every time her daughter spoke, she verbally slapped her down. California Barbie even made fun of Dianna's appearance, saying she looked outdated. Barbie... get a clue... the tight curly headed look went out in the 70s. I'll take Dianna any day... she was kind and loving and open and willing to have fun and try new things. California Barbie went into someone else's home ready to tell them how bad they were. What she proved was that she needed an operation to have the big stick removed. And Barbie's friends were at least as bad. Please world... you need to know... Californians are not all Bad Barbies.

19. "RE: Misunderstood Vegan?" |
I thought the whole purpose of the show was to blend into the other families life for awhile, not to try to change it to match your family. Maybe it's my southern upbringing that "while in Rome, do as the Romans do". I live in Alabama and while the Cajun family was different, they were very interesting. I agree with everyone who thought Barb was a total witch. I would have loved to have spent some time with Diana's family (except for the gators, can't stand them)! Diana seems to have enough maturity and understanding to see Barb for what she was, and not take it personally. She seemed also to have a warm, caring circle of family and friends to support her. I think this did the Cajun family a lot of good because they can appreciate more what they have. I will be tempted to associate Vegan with Wican now.

I, too, have rarely posted to a message board, but, this woman is so self-righteous that I just have to. The way she treated ZZ and Bear, the dog, showed exactly how much of a "humanitarian" she truly is. NOT!!! She was rude to her host family and even ruder to her own family when she got home. Diana's family is wonderful... she should be proud of herself and of them. Barbara... SEE A SHRINK.

I wondered how a woman could get to Barbara's age behaving badly without a clue. At first I thought her narcissism had completly taken over, but no. A true narcissist would be too self absorbed to invest any time attempting to change anyone the way Barbara tried with Diego, ZZ, and Diana. Then they showed her family and friends. THATS IT! The answer is to surround yourself with people who are just as arrogant, self-centered, hypocritical, ignorant, and judgemental as yourself, plus marry a spineless, wimp and you could stay as clueless as Barbara.
