Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

I find it almost unbearable to watch Josie allow herself to be walked on by her sleazy "boyfriend"! It seems to me that the only thing he's thinking about where Chloe is concerned is whether or not he will have to help support her. It is so obvious that all the "concern" he has shown both Chole & Josie is an "act" because he doesn't want to look like a total LOSER on TV!! He certainly milked the show for all it was worth staying in a nice Motel room, eating out on Josie's dime and even partying almost the whole time he was there. It is so sad that Josie has such low self-esteem that she tries to hold on to Jonathan at all cost. I just hope she realizes that it is up to her to build a better life for her and her "little flower'"

I think she is beginning to realize what he is really like. I don't think things will happen for her over night though.

I think Josey is slowly but surely waking up to the real facts about Johnthan. It's not easy to let go of something or someone that you have loved, even if they haven't treated you in the best of ways. The hard part for her now will be those monthes that she is out of the house. Simply because she's not around the other house mates, or in the enivorment that she was in while on the show. I truely believe Josey will pull through here though and dump that jerk!!

Once Josie found out she was leaving the house Rana Asked her to call jonathan and ask for the paternity test. What was the 1st thing she said to him.

Not a direct quote just a summary:
I am leaving the house. I did not graduate but they are putting me up in an apartment. Do you want to come see me and chloe. The last thing she said was Are you going to have the DNA test done now?

I think Josie was acting strong for the coaches and other housemates. However once she talked to him on the phone she was Jelly. Now without there support she will slip into her old ways.

I do commend Josie for realizing she was in trouble and seeking the help. I do not think she was even close to being ready to leave even for a trial period.

With no friends in the area and no one to talk to she might end up back in Decater.

That's just my opinion on the subject.
Agree or Disagree?

I disagree with the statement that Josie needs to wake up!
I have felt there was something funny about her whole story from the moment she came into the house....
I think she and her boyfriend planned for this story to play out this way even before
Josie came to the attention of the show.
How convinent that she would show up just before the birth of her child.
No money, no doctor, no home and a story about poor little oh me what am I going to do?/? I need starting over help sososo bad.
If the show had not stepped in do you think she would have gone to a good hospital like she did with everything paid for? Do you think the parents she said she never got alone with and hardly had any thing to do with her, would suddenly come on a television show ?
I don't think so, there were too many times that her and the boyfriend had to back peddel to get out of something they said before that now would show they were only looking for free hand outs and as for the test. Why would he get the test done?
They knew as soon as the test showed he is the father they would be sent packing home as a happy made over family in a heart beat. No they got free food free place to stay all baby things bought and paid for by t he show.....
I think we were all scammed by this couple who just knows how to play the game.

hugs4u2, you may be right about your prediction but then I have to commend her for her acting skills. She could be acting now, but I don't think that she joined the house the house intentionally trying to scam the show. I think she really wanted help in the beginning and Jonathan convinced her to stay because they wouldn't have been able to afford anything. I do wish her and Clhoe the best. They both deserve it.
