I agree...............well, MOST of them anyway!!!!!! We DID have a couple ego-maniacs!!!

Please tell me it isn't so SO has been such a part of my life...I tivo it everyday and can't live without it. How will I be able to afford the therapy that I get daily. THis show has saved my life and my sanity. I have grown so much from it and I'm sure that i am not the only one who has learned so much from this and the courageous women who have had the courage to go and share their story.

It's pretty obvious network TV just doesn't get it! I think the excuse about fear of "reality shows and getting sued" is just that...... AN EXCUSE. Starting Over needs to be on a woman's network such as Oxygen, Lifetime, etc, where it is appreciated for its intrinsic value. I am not trying to be sexist as I know men watch SO too; so they can watch it on Oxygen just as women watch sports on ESPN, I'm just saying, lets give SO the home it deserves so we don't have to go through this agony every season!

I am theorizing that the reason for the demise of SO is that it was a pet project of Bunim, who died. I don't think Murray gave a Nat Sass about it, but kept doing it due to contract agreements. I think he's more into the exploitive, explosive crud he does for MTV.

That Iyanla is leaving would be a huge plus. She's so phoney. All she cares about is looking like an all wise Earth Mother, and it doesn't come off. She's insincere, cruel, and uncaring. Anyone else would be an improvement. (Wellll, except Rhonda, that is)

First, I don't agree with moondream above re the life coaches - but don't think it would be a bad idea to have a new one.

DO agree that the first season was what hooked me and this past one not so much. Now they keep bringing back former housemates so perhaps there's been a casting problem. Well, think about it - would you want to be on national TV to discuss all of your problems, secrets, etc. ?

It would be great if oprah took over the show!

P.S. Are the camera folks or directors trying to impress us with their artistic (sigh) shots of vegetation, people in the streets, city scenes, etc. ?
