Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Debby,

I had wondered if some of his behavior was for the benefit of the cameras too.. and I guess that would mean the fights as well..

Heck, who would watch if there weren't drama and conflict involved..? Isn't that what kept alot of watching SO to one degree or another?

I wonder if Florence Henderson thinks that getting married just to fulfill a plotline for a reality show is wrong and that might be why she doesn't want to be a part of it. Sort of being part of a big staged event.. Which is in essence what it will wind up being!

When is the wedding by the way?

He has in the reunion shows always come across as a nice guy... but the Surreal Life and now this spin off...just is either one big acting gig... or just a way to line his coffers or supplement the royalties he might already get from his Brady Bunch years. !

I was feeling a bit bad that I referred to him as a cocky jerk...when I really don't know him.. or if it's just a facade for the reality audience. I take it back. .. but admit I definitely don't have a warm fuzzy spot for him like I used to!

I think that he is kind of cocky, but, he is now aging and getting a belly. His face is showing some age and he is just not the jock he used to be. He knows this and even makes fun of himself about it. I think that is hard on men who were once a heartthrob. I was never crazy about him, although I loved the show.

He says that after The Brady Bunch he couldn't get work in acting so he went into the then new computer field and hit it big. He did quite well and owns his business and enough investments that he doesn't have to actually work a regular job.

He was married and divorced twice. He went on The Sureal Life for who knows why. There he met Adrienne, who sole fame was from winning America's Next Top Model. She seemed nice enough on that show. On the Sureal Life, Adrienne went hog wild over Chris. He tried to resist her until the last couple of episodes of the show, then they hit it off and left the house together and she moved in with him.

When Florence Henderson first met Adrienne for lunch at Chris' condo, she was cordial, but she asked some tough questions of Adrienne, like "What are your career goals?" Adrienne sat puzzle faced. She looked as if why should I have any career goal other than to marry Chris.

Chris' father unintentionally insulted Adrienne a day before the wedding, by pointing out that avoiding authority is a mistake. Just like Adrienne quitting high school was a mistake. I didn't know until then that Adrienne had dropped out of high school and apparently never obtained her GED.

She does a little modeling here and there, but, as she says about herself. SHe's too fat to model right now. With no education, once her looks go, she has no skills to fall back on if this marriage doesn't work.

THe couple got married a few months ago and the taped show of them getting married and all the pre-wedding festivities was aired about 3 weeks ago. I'm sure it will be repeated soon.

Chris' father is also an actor I believe. Something about him looked so familiar. Does anyone remember what he used to play on?

Adrienne can't understand why Chris' sister frowned on Adrienne for posing in Playboy magazine. His mother and sister don't agree with the nudity and vulgarity that Adrienne has shown on tv either. Greg, Cindy and Peter Brady were present at the wedding.

Wasn't HE Peter Brady????

Well, I guess it's history now...that they are wed. I guess it will be interesting to see how long if or how long the marriage lasts.

Now what are they going to do for an encore??

Found this in trying to find out who is dad was. I think it says his father did mostly stage acting. But it looks like he had bit parts in some Hogan Heroes episodes and at least one Brady Bunch episode.

Interesting read...

It doesn't mention whether or not he has any children.

His new bride is young enough to be his daughter! Quite an age gap!

I laughed when you described her reaction about the career comments..... Couldn't help but think of Lisa...!

oops... Forgot the info link...

I guess this is the more official imdb site...
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0460843/

You're right. Greg, Cindy and Bobby Brady were present at the wedding. Chris played PETER.

Thanks for the sites. I'll try to check them out later.

Chris does not have children, but, Adrienne wants them very badly.

Chris even went for a visectomey consult on one of the episodes. I thought Adrienne was going to have a melt down. If he does not give her a baby really soon, I don't think he will live to tell about it.

When I see them together, I honestly don't think of the age difference, but just the fights and insults. It's not becoming. I don't know if I could talk so disrespectfully to my lover, even if it were pretend for tv.
