Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Stumbled on info about the Real World Denver.

Seems to be a pattern with the 2 shows...

I have never watched RW so I don't know how different it is.. or what the norm is..

This article pretty much mentions how plastered the housemates were... The second link talks about J.Murry's position about stepping in when 'brawls' occur. I think this one might be relevant based on what sounds like occurred on the second episode of BGC.
Seems like J. Murry doesn't really want to intervene because he thinks it makes good tv! I hope he gets sued! But more than likely the housemates hands are tied legally because of all the waivers these reality shows require the participants to sign.

Hey, I could tell this show was going to be a big piece of garbage and I so agree with you that I would love to see any reference of it taken off this home page, lest anyone gets the wrong idea of what this site is promoting.

I don't need to read any more reviews and I especially don't need to see one minute of that show to know that it has nothing to do with people starting over and changing their lives.

Thanks for the reconfirmation, though.

I am *absolutely* astounded by this show. I am *sick* to my stomach that this is what is on instead of Starting Over! As an empath, I couldn't stand to watch this show for more than 5 minutes. I am very discouraged by all of this.

Ok...I saw the 2nd episode and it was bad...However it got me interested and I'm sure I'll watch it again. I want to know what's going to happens next...

Saw the second episode. Dizzzzzgussssting. But it's kinda like a car wreck. You have to look, no matter what. I'm disappointed in the Oxygen Network for the gutter-snipe shows it's putting on, campus ladies, footballers wives, but Bad Girls is the worst of the lot.

I'm betting they let Ripsi, whom I will refer to as Tipsy from now on, stay. The only thing I'm unsure about is if they will make abstinence from booze a condition. I kind of hope so, but I also thing that they will be PC and say you can't force someone to quit a thing if they don't want to.

Well I finally watched it and I have to say it was even worse than I expected. It is not just bad tv, it is sad and disturbing and I can't even think of the right words to use. I am so sad after watching it. To think that Oxygen would air this is mind boggling. I wrote Oprah an email tonight telling her that I was disappointed in her personally as a co-founder of Oxygen that she would have any part in a show like this that literally damages women. There is absolutely no point in this show except to exploit some emotionally damaged women. I saw the show where the drunk Ripsi continually attacked some of the women and then had a rampage through the house. She was beyond drunk. You could tell the women she attacked were truly physically hurt with blood and cuts. There is absolutely no help being offered this woman that is a raging alcoholic and I think that she will be dead before she reaches the age of 30. The message boards are populated by these women that are just trash and the f word is used in almost every post. I wish you guys would try to see just one episode and see if you are not sick to the bone watching this show.
And I ask you Tara to see for yourself and I think that if you did see this show that you would immediately pull off all references to this horrible show off your front page of this message board. I would think that you would not want anyone to think that you support this kind of atrocity in any way. Can you guys tell how truly disturbed I am after actually seeing this show???? It is beyond belief. I was shocked. It is not even worth joking about.

Yaayyyyyyyyyyyyy glad to to see it was taken off the front page.

I just hadta mention it! Yup I did. LOL



TY! ( THANK YOU) LOL
