I'm surmising that the sale of Shelly's business wasn't a huge financial boon for her and her family (possibly to avoid losing the business altogether), and that her continued presence with the new company has not gone as she had hoped. It's an old story - you sell with the best of intentions and hopes and everything changes about the business you made. Particularly the handling of customers can be a huge issue, and the marginalization of a former owner who is looking to protect what she made happens all the time. The original owner who sold rarely makes a good transition in these circumstances and is gone in fairly short order.

Shelly needs the money I think.

Goddess I have said that all along. A mom doesn't leave hearth and home for the adventure. She does it to better her family. I also think she needs the money.

I see that at 5:30 or so K/P decided that they need to keep an eye on things downstairs. Hmmmm, I don't think it would have mattered if they'd just stayed in bed.

if you really really really need money you don't come on a game show where you have to leave your job for 3 months where you could also potentially lose it lol

If she is like most Americans she is probably underwater. The housing market is going to take years and years to come back. What she paid 300 thou for is now worth about 225. The economy just bites. Most can't sell their homes because they would owe so much.

I certainly agree with that, Dawn. Maybe it was a toofer - roll the dice on 1/2 million and let the new company see how difficult it is to handle her business without her presence.

The 90 days LOA without any explanation is some weirdness. I just think there's much more going on with Shelly's business life than she's brought forward. She's become increasingly desperate as the game has continued and become irrational at times.

We shall see. I don't want her to stay in the house, though, I don't appreciate how she's played.

shelly has said that every time she changed job she tried to double her salary. sometimes it didn't work but she said most times it did.
she also lives in the same neighborhood of some famous musician's manager.

she is not hurting for money.

Kellog, of course I don't know Shell outside the house but I think people that lie as frequently and as easily as she does in the house that I would not be surprised if she used the same tactic in her life outside the house especially in business....just my personal thoughts on Shelly. Liars usually make it a a habit.

How do you know it was a voluntary LOA? Maybe both sides were happy to give it a rest. Believe me, I've seen this movie up close and personal more than once.

Lil that was well said. Lying comes to easy for her. It seems she has lied when she didn't even have to.

shelly's company had her profile up until fairly recently. if it wasn't voluntary then i doubt it would have been left up for a good portion of the show season.

i'm sure she gave soem excuse because she did say "well i couldn't use the family leave act"

and i find ti hard to believe any company would allow an employee to leave for 3 months without a fairly valid reason.

I must've misunderstood. I thought he stayed at home and raised their daughter. My mistake.

Shelly is a super BB fan. She seems like her life is comfortable. I think she also thinks pretty highly of her "sales" skills. I am sure she thought why not! I can use those skills I have to win BB. I think as the days and weeks have gone on, Shelly has lost a bit of touch with reality. She took her "sales" skills to places she should not have. And I think her desperation now is more guilt about leaving her husband and daughter. If I win some money I am justified. Just my thoughts.

You're free to disagree with me, Dawn. From my perspective, something is going on with Shelly that goes beyond wanting to have a summer adventure for chump change (which $300,000 max after taxes is to someone who is as well off as Shelly pretends).

She has said she wants to make things better for her family. With the money. To me that screams money problems.

No Shelly has said he was a stay at home dad. I think he has a pool company which has flexible hours, and Josie is in school now.

Shelly has said a lot of things that aren't true.
