Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

yes it is rerun season here, and here in washington state we are seeing season 3,from the beginning. in todays show christina once again left her personal note from the lc, on the table and left the room. lisa once again read it, and then put it down as soon as she came to something that identified it as belonging to christina.

lisa did confess to christina what she did and apologized for it.

why does christina leave her personal papers openly all over the house, and then expect no one to read them? immature behavior. i like christina, but she realy needs someone to explain to her that if she'd simply stop leaving them around no one would read them.

it seems so silly to be discussing reruns of so, especially since i'e already seen it and know how it turns out, but i love the show so much. i really want a season 4.

In the first instance... I think Christina was called away for a few minutes for a phone call or something.

My opinion on the new incident was just Lisa making it about her.. and calling attention to herself. I also think Lisa went into overkill action about the accountability partner. She's still all about her.. and her good works.... She's trying too hard to be Jill's accountability partner.. It's like she was taking inventory of Jill's issues moreso than considering her own.. It should have been a natural process not a literal one...

I don't know what context Christina may have left that particular note from the coach around on yesterdays episode. Maybe it fell out of her journal.. or she did accidentally leave it... It wasn't personal in the way the letters were though... Not from what I gathered..

But Lisa chose to confess in front of the whole group at mealtime soon after the BOR (if my memory serves me correctly..) My theory would be that the others could the change in her... Maybe she was just sincerely trying to take the LC's admonitions to the group to heart and is trying way too hard to be 'good'.
From all that I've seen... Lisa is about 'Lisa'.... and has only shown interest in others when required to.

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.

In another thread, I mention the meetings with only the LCs and Dr. Stan that were prevalent in Season 2. In these sessions they discussed events in the house, resentment between hg, recommendations for assisting the hg, etc. I wonder if maybe the reason that stopped in Season 3 is that the LCs and Dr. Stan's evalations and recommendations during these meetings were not setting well with the producer's idea of the show. Just an idea. There was so much energy and passion in these meetings that I think inspired the staff. Maybe the meetings continued but just weren't aired. I guess we may never know.

I know this intially started about Christina but I would love to comment about Lisa. I feel she pushed way beyond the orginal SO "boundries". She just did not get it from the start and the end...well, I thought it was ridiculous she graduated. I guess there always has to be the one to "hate" so to speak, because it definitely made good TV.

For those who don't know they are showing SO with Kim, Josie, Sommer, Tawanda, Jennifer, etc. on VH1.

I sure hope they come out with seasons to come. I've caught since the beginning of Season 1 and love it! Thank God for DVR's!

Boy, they didn't do any of that in Season 3. That would have been great to see.
The producers probably wanted the show to only be about the houseguests.
Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but if the producers had EDITED IN some of those LC and Stan meetings, they could have EDITED OUT some of the scenes with Allison.
Wouldn't that have been GRAND?!?
