When Christina was writing her letter, she was called away. And, several of her HG's were there. Had Lisa not been there, I doubt anyone would've even glanced at it. But, Lisa not only picked it up and began reading it. She read it out loud to the others. I'll bet if the producers had given the LC's the freedom to make their own decisions, Lisa would've been gone within the first few weeks.

This is an interesting issue. I have long wondered, as have other posters on this board, why Lisa I was so tolerated, especially in light of her conduct in the house. Did Rhonda really have the untilmate decision making authority on that matter or did the production company? Rhonda seemed to get pretty frustrated with Lisa's refusal to work towards her goals. I was shocked when they sent Lisa to the basement to live while she was given once again another chance to redeem herself. After all of the debate that occurred, I still don't know what the real deal was regarding her stay and her graduation...

Several past HG's were invited to the SOH by production. Vanessa was one. And, because Mary Ellis Bunim died of breast cancer, Allison was another. I doubt that the LC's have any say in who's invited to the SOH since they aren't present at any of the casting calls. Production probably forced them to keep Lisa there. And, "graduate" her. Maybe that's why Iyanla is leaving the show. Since integrity doesn't mean shit to the producers.

WOW!

I don't even have to quote anyone on this thread, I agree with all of them, except, with respect, the person that said Christina was the one at 'fault' for leaving her things around.
IMO, it was supposed to be a *home* for the women, and in my *home* and with the ppl I live/lived, I wouldn't expect anyone to pick up *anything* and read it, nevermind a private letter, OUT LOUD!

lisa was a troublemaker and a waste of time for everyone there.

Oops, gee, I had to go back and take the caps off of lisa's name, there! LOL I never cap anyone that I have absolutely no respect for. (That's my own inner protest march....like it would REALLY bother anyone...HA ! I crack me up, again and again!)

Anyway, ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto, et al, for the thoughts on lisa and her outrageous behavior in reading Christina's private letters!

Silly Princess Mags

PeeEss:
Hey Serena? Would ya mind if I changed my sig (ONCE more?) I keep typing in 'Silly Princess Knuckle Head', as that's what we call our black labby gal, Ceilidh aka Boo, aka Booli Patchouli.
I know, I know, we all change nicks around here in our home, but they all know their own silly names.


I think that fits me to a tee, as opposed to 'Sugar Magnolia', tho I do love that song!
I am quite the knuckle head in real life!

Silly Princess Knuckle Head aka Silly Princess Sugar Magnolia, aka, MaryBeth, aka Piper......and on and on......

i agree about Lisa.
about Christina, I felt so sorry for her when she was accused by Iyanla of lying. I think Iyanla made a huge big deal out of what was not a big deal. To learn not to manipulate others is a good goal, but in my opinion Christina didnt lie. she told what to her was real. Jessica did refuse to help her and I thought she was mean. Just because it was Christinas assignment to see how much she could help out, doesnt mean Christina had bad motive for asking. Jessica should have just let her help out. For petey sakes...and then Iyanla making all that stink about nothing. I was really angry.

Just because Christina believes her own lies doesn't excuse her. Her goal is to become a Woman of Honor. There's no way Iyanla could overlook her lying.
