Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Watching the first time, I admit, I did not Trust Jill, and I could not support Jill.

I am very curious as to why, Jill has so many supporters. Please convince me, and others, to support her.

I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince you, but I AM going to encourage you to pay close attention to Jill's struggle.

She's one of the few housemates that gets right to the point of why she's there; she's BRUTALLY honest about her mistakes, she sugar coats nothing. She generally cuts right through the B.S. and makes us laugh through our tears.

She has no boundaries, she wears no mask---It's sometimes quite painful to watch her because she's so honest and transparent.

And that's why we love her.

Keep watching, please.

keep watching . . . jill gets easier to watch as she begins to learn to not talk so much. jill wastes a lot of time and energy exhausting herself and everyone else with a lot of unnecessary words.

it was painful for me to watch her in the beginning, but she grows so much. she really is a success. keep watching.

Yes I must agree - after her fourth or fifth episode, IMO, she was wising up and after her baggage assignment was over she didn't seem to falter on, until her dad came into the picture.
I say keep watching as well - she really lets go of a lot coming up.

I was worried when the season first started and she showed her tude...

But the great thing about Jill... is that she comes across unpretentious.. and tell's ya like it is. She has a great sense of humor and seems to honestly care. I saw her feelings expressed in so many different situations as honest. She felt guilty about her mother situations, She readily admits her own failures and rarely if ever blamed others... for her own problems.

I think Iyanla was a wonderful role model for her...

Jill also seemed to genuinely appreciate her opportunity and made the most of it... I thought she worked very hard.

Her blogs continue to emphasize her humanity... She acknowledges still struggling at times... but hanging in there. If the show gave her a platform to put it out there and be scrutinized for her past indiscretions it also gave her a platform to commit to a better way... with a greatful heart.

I enjoy reading her blogs... You can still feel her growth even in the midst of her admitted struggles. We are all works in progress..


I can definitely see a difference between the Jill of the first couple weeks and the one that emerged from the SO house. I wish she had been around more for Niambi... Might have been able to be a real mentor to her..

No, I'll not try to convince anyone of anything...............but I *will* post my opinions...........yeah, you know I can't resist that!!!



Jill has a way of dealing with others that can seem so raw and in your face............but she deals with *herself* that way too!!! That's what shows her honesty.

She has NO double-standards and no hypocrisy!!! That's as real as you can be. She can't be accused of treating any of the others differently......and she certainly can't be accused of not working hard!!!

You don't have to have the exact same issues as Jill to learn a whole lot from her!!
