Starting Over Talk

i totally agree. I waited patiently all summer long for SO and started checking tv listings to see when it would resume and then ................ WHAT!!! Tyra!!! and then Rachael !! I learned so much about myself as well as what just makes people tick by watching the show. I feel like I lost family. Is that pathetic? or what.

It's not pathetic... it seems that Starting Over has had a strong effect on a lot of people... me included. I think it was an outstanding program... I felt for the house guests, and admired how Dr. Stan and the life coaches helped these people work on their problems. I feel it is a loss to all SO fans.

SO & I were a good team. I listened and watched and gain so much more insights. Learned how to deal with my rebelious teen at the time, my ailing mother, etc... Gave me strength. Miss my shot of SO! These other's are just "too much". Can't get my head around some of this - THANK GOD for TCM! Me & Garbo "I just want to be alone..."

I can't believe Tyra Banks is getting another season. I never expected something like that to last more than one season. At least she isn't on CBS after Dr Phil anymore. Who Wants to be a Millionaire is. Not one of my favorite shows, but I can tolerate it better than Tyra Banks.

i hate tyra's talk show, all she talks about is herself, did anyone see when she dressed up in a fat suit? although that was funny, when she talked to real overweight people all she did was cry about what a horrible experience she had being overweight for 1 day. and the real people ended up consoling her! she has a popular show with top models, isn't that enough. where i live they have replaced starting over with 2 hours of maury povich! how many paternity tests and overweight babies can a person watch in 1 week?

Absolutely agree re:Tyra in her fat suit..When you can go home and remove your fat outer shell, I don't care if you spend a month in it ....you will never know really what it is like. I could never know what it is to be a black or asian or native woman because I am not. As for Maury P. oh my god! I could not take another "who my baby daddy" I do not want to judge these girls but the mother in me sure wants to judge their mothers!

I think Tyra is full of herself. Early last season, I saw a segment on some "girl's camp" she set up. Mostly for overweight girls with "body image" issues. Where Tyra tells them "since you can't have a body like mine, you can accept and love yourselves just the way you are." They only thing keeping most of these girls from having bodies like, or even better than, Tyra's is unhealthy eating and lack of exercize. Tyra's body isn't all that. Especially without those push-up bras.
