Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Okay, I didn't watch. Can TVgal speak for me?

The show starts with Jennifer on the treadmill then they go to Deborah on the phone. Aja answers and the conversation is-
Deborah- "Ok, you got to keep this on the down low, do you know what that means?"
Aja- "yes"
Deborah- "I need you to call and see what recent charges have been made."
Aja- "What made you think about that? And why do you have to keep it on the down low?"
Recorded message- "This telephone conversation is being recorded for television broadcast. If you consent continue your call."
Deb- "Thats why, anyway, I will call you tomorrow and tell you what the deal is."
Deborah hangs up. (for some reason this came off feeling staged to me. jmo)
Three guys come to the front door. Two of them in shorts and no shirts with incredible 6 pack abs! they ask for Jennifer and she is all giggly yelling, "the hot guys are here for me!" They take her by the pool and the two ab boys have big palm branches and are fanning her while the other guy is giving her a pedicure and manicure. They tell her it is from Iyanla. Iyanla shows up and calls her in and brings her breakfast. She asks Jennifer when was the last time anyone treated her this way and Jennifer says never. Iyanla says this is just the start and that she was going to have an awesome day.
Rhonda meets with Josie and Chloe. She asks Josie what she wants Chloe's life to be like when she is 22 yrs old. Josie says she wants her to be in theatre like she did cause it was so much fun. Rhonda gives her a poster board and supplies and she is to make a 3D poster for chloe of what her life should be like.
Morning meeting with Iyanla. Jennifer is called up. They show a picture of her mom and dad. Dad's face is blurred out. She said that that picutre was taken when she was five and they were happy then. She said she was a daddys girl. She tells how the swat team came to their house when she was twelve and she wouldn't let herself be scared even then because she had to hold it together for her mom. Her dad started doing drugs when she was around 9 and it was a total change. He became a monster. (side note- Deborah is looking around like she is bored. But she keeps her mouth shut.)
They do a bump at the end of the segment and it is Dr. Stan asking Deborah how long since she has had sex and she says 6 years. He acts incredulous and says, "Its been 6 years!" I am pretty sure he already know about the phone call by now.
Today is Jennifer day. Iyanla tells her she can do nothing for herself today. She can sit on the couch or go out to the pool. She gives her a "Queens raft" and someone will have to blow it up for her. Jennifer says in confession cam that she would feel weird to ask Deborah to do anything for her. During the meeting, I swear it looked like Deborah was giving her the evil eye. Jennifer had a one on one with Dr. Stan and he asked her to remember a positive memory of her dad and think of positive traits she inherited from him. She pretty much comes up empty handed. Dr. Stan asks if she would meet with him more to discuss it and she says sure. Back in the front room, Deborah brings her a fruit cup and then blows up the raft for her without anyone asking her to. Jennifer says in confessional am that she is uneasy with Deborah helping her.
The women are all having lunch and chloe has a biter biscuit. Its one of those teething cookies. Josie acts a little unsure about it but lets her have it. During lunch Josie sees that chloe has broke off a hunk of it in her mouth and scoops it out. Chloe was not choking or anything but it totally freaks poor Josie out. She picks her up and says she is going to give her a bath. One of the women asks Josie if she is okay and she starts crying and says she is really freaked out and she should never have given it to her and she feels like a bad mom. Poor thing. I remember feeling like that with my girls when they were little and would get hurt and you feel so bad. chloe on the other hand if just happy and fine. What a cutie.
A woman shows up to give Jennifer an aquatic massage. Josie meets with Rhonda to show her the poster but she has to tell her about the biscuit first and Rhonda tells her that Josie is worried about not being there for her every day for her for the rest of her life. Josie now has to put either a yes or no sticker by each of things on the poster of what she wants for Chloe in comparsion to what she has at 22 yrs of age. While Josie is in with Rhonda, Jennifer and Sinae are playing with Chloe and Kim is on the computer. Deborah walks in and sees the raft still by the sofa and says, "You never used this raft that I blew up for you!" She looked really irritated. Deborah walks out and goes to the tread mill.
Deborah meets with Dr. Stan. He asks her what has been the hardest thing about the last week and she says living with a bunch of people. He asks if it is women and she says no, just a lot of people. He asks if she has dated and she says yes and he asks when the last one was and she said the Sunday before she came to the house. She said she heard he had called and left a message on her machine. Dr. Stan asked if she had been intimate with him and she said she has been celibate for the last 6 years. Dr. Stan tells her that he wants to help her learn how to get along and be herself and all that stuff and she tells him that she has learned in the last week that she just needs to lie to get thru the experience. And he is like, "no, don't do that!" and she is like, yes, I will just pretend to be who you want me to be and get through this.
Then they women are at dinner (minus Josie) and Deborah is saying that she told Dr. Stan that she was only 25% honest here. She was like bragging like the cowardly bully who pushed down the nerd when no one is around to help. Kim says something about how much luckier Deborah is than Jennifer when it comes to dads and Deborah says in a fake whiny voice, "oh boo hoo I wish I had such a sad story." Jennifer in confessional cam saying that she has just decided to ignore Deborah and what she says.
Iyanla comes and meets with Jennifer at the end of the day and is asking her how the day went and Jennifer said she felt like she wsa in time out all day. Iyanla says timeouts don't start with pedicures and breakfast. The conversation quickly comes around to Deborah being so mean to her. Iyanla shows Jennifer that Deborah just represents her past and how kids in school were mean to her for no reason and they didn't know how bad her home life was. Jennifer said she just wanted her voice back. So that could get interesting if Jennifer starts standing up to Deborah.
Previews-
Oh yes we know the drill, don't we! Tease us and tewase us some more! They show the confrontation with Rhonda and Deborah. They show the 3 coaches discussing Deborah. Kim is blindfolded out in the woods by Iyanla and told to find her way out. Then it shows the women dressed weird and told they are going to live their worst nightmare. I am sure it is going out in public in what they are wearing.
Okay then, I am off to do Tuesday. Enjoy. So far, nothing to really top Friday yet!

(this was from TVgal, I will have to do what I can tomorrow. Doesn't she do a good job??)
