Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Yeah, I didn't think about the fact the show is not in real time but filmed months ago. I just wish there was some way to prevent the good hearted, hard working, contestants from getting axed in the name of competition.

It's sad that people who desperately need medical intervention of that sort are forced to go on national tv and fight for it even it means being humiliated and called names by their coach and even after that they can be booted out for no real reason. It's heartbreaking. I don't think the people who win this are any more deserving that some others who don't win.

Did you see Jerry Springer and his daughter? They look like twins! It was unreal how much they resemble each other.

I am not a big fan of his show, but, I have seen him being interviewed and he was quite thoughtful in his comments about the program. He made a lot of sense actually. He said that his show is stupid and only for a select audience. He says that when celebs do the same things his guests do, it's called major news, but because his clients are poor and uneducated, it's called trash. It's the same things, just different people. I think he might be right.

IMO, it doesn't matter who does these things, rich or poor, college graduate or HS dropout, celebrity or unknown, they're all trash. I even consider Donald Trump, for running around on, and discarding, his wives, trash.
Besides, when a celebrity does something trashy, how can it be news? You've heard that old saying, when a dog bites a man, it isn't news. Like dogs biting people, celebrities' trashy behavior is too commonplace to be news.<br><br>Post edited by: turtle, at: 2006/10/10 18:09

It's only 20 minutes into the show...and Kim did it again.. Said something derogatory about why they looked the way they did... Might be the basic truth, but it's still said in an insulting way... They were all really down and she was trying to work them hard...

I knew last week's ending would upset the team..

She did share her story with them...but I'm not sure if it really amounted to much...other than her saying she had her own body image problems having been an air force brat.. I am taping the show...Maybe I'll go back and double check her 'testimony' later.... My first impression wasn't that great though.

I have had with that coach. She is so phoney and insulting. I agree with her effort to get the team working hard ASAP after their loss, but, that's where it ends. She treats them like they are inferior to her and that they look disgusting. She really blames them, openly at that. Why does being an army brat suddenly make you this poor pitiful person who is in as much pain as these contestants are in. I didn't get it.

Of course, her team won, so I guess you can't argue with success but, I am e-mailing that show to voice my opinion that she should not return as a coach. She is not even close to the male coach or even the female coach from last season. I don't think she gets it.
