A little something regarding Tom's investment problem. This was posted in 12/08 and resolved in 2/09. Maybe he paid the guy with some of his earnings from the show. Before entering into real estate, TOM BREEZE was a CHANDLER (ARIZONA) HIGH SCHOOL employee, in charge of athletic equipment. This job gave TOM BREEZE access to young men in their formative years. It was at CHANDLER HIGH, he befriended this young man, now a US MARINE, who has served in combat in Iraq, and is a decorated war hero. TOM BREEZE RIPPED off $4,000.00 from this former student and war hero. Several months ago, TOM BREEZE convinced the young man to 'loan' him $4,000.00 for some kind of 'real estate deal'. TOM BREEZE promised the former student he would pay back the money in 30 days. TOM BREEZE convinced the former student to 'bank wire' the funds into an account TOM BREEZE controlled. The former student, who trusted TOM BREEZE, Bank wired the money as requested. Months went by, and TOM BREEZE NEVER paid the money back. TOM BREEZE refused to return phone calls, emails and texts. The former student, now a US MARINE, based in Orange County, California, was about to be deployed into combat again, and needed his money for CHRISTMAS....but TOM BREEZE refused to pay the kid back. TOM BREEZE has come up with a littany of bold faced lies. First he 'mailed a cashier's check'...which was NEVER received. When asked for a copy or receipt of that check, TOM BREEZE said he didn't have one, and the 'bank messed up'. So...Then TOM BREEZE put a 'stop payment' on the cashier's check, and 'wired' the funds...the 'wire' NEVER got there. Next, TOM BREEZE 'wired' $2,000.00....however, ONLY $200 was received.... TOM BREEZE said the 'bank teller was stupid', and that he (TOM BREEZE) would investigate!! As of yesterday, December 11th, 2008, Next, TOM BREEZE told the young man, he would get on a plane, come to Orange County,CA., and hand deliver the money... TOM BREEZE called the young man from the airport, and said 'all the flights are full',. TOM BREEZE's bizarre pattern of deceit is scary. Several complaints are being issued to the various authorities. Traci phoenix, Arizona U.S.A.

Whoa, interesting stuff, Aurora. Where did you find that? Do you have a link? I really felt like he was being honest on the show, but guess I was wrong. This show seems sooooooo staged. More so than most reality shows.

Here's the link: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/400/RipOff0400628.htm I saw it on the TVLand discussion board, but its since been removed.

I just read through the article and at the bottom is this: Situation has been rectified The report although true has been rectified. Tom Breeze was and still is a friend of the soldier and they have made peace. Please be well aware that prior to this report being filed the money was paid back with sincere appreciation and apologies for the delay. The soldier has asked that this report be taken down and did not approve it being posted in the first place. Tom was a great friend to the soldier when he needed him and is still considered a friend. I say these words as I know both parties and do not believe this posting was not to be posted in the first place. Please do not think that Tom is the person that is to be described, he needed help as did the soldier at one time and they both remain in friendly contact.

very interesting indeed! Thanks for posting that - Last night, did anyone else get the impression of scripted? I said that because everyone seemed so "stiff" or uncomfortable... almost as if it was "re done" Maybe some of the drama happened off camera and so they (producers) asked them to do it again on camera? I think the drama was real, it was just weird the way it felt re enacted almost? The classmates didnt seem uncomfortable... I just felt it was weird...

It was just weird. I think there was truth on both sides of the accusations being flung around. There was something about how Marcella did not really admit to anything, just said things like "words are just words". And you could really tell that Jessica has some issues.

Thanks for adding that Smokey. I didn't read that far I guess. Now it explains why the post was deleted at the other forum.

This show seems sooooooo staged. More so than most reality shows. I said this up thread, so yes, I agree about it being scripted. It's pretty obvious. It's like watching really bad actors in a really bad movie. Not sure why I'm watching! lol No problem Aurora. I almost didn't see it, but then noticed at the top there was something about situation being rectified.

It looks like all the men were very close before the taping of the show and some of the girls too.I get the feeling that the majority of them have hung out together since high school and right before the reunion.I think that the issues with one another were real, but that they were told before hand about who was upset with them and why. I still dont think Maricella sounded very convincing,i dont think she ever really denied it. The big guy that was one of the late comers that came with Dennis sure didnt have much camera time nor did the black man. I also dont know about Tom's swindeling the other guy-I doubt he'd go to so much trouble and compromise his reputation and job just for $4K.

Lakecat-I agree with you about camera time and I also noticed hall passes seem to just be going to Kara, Tom, Dennis, Scott W and Maricela. What about the other people in the house? How many hall passes does Kara get to go on? Seems like she is going on just about everyone unless it is Maricela and Scott W. It seems Kara, Tom, Maricela and Scott W are the main "stars" of this show and the others are just filler. We had a little drams with the two ladies that had the detention but not much attention on the others. I don't even know most of their names haha I still like watching and do like the fact that no one is getting voted out and I am bummed that next week is the finale.

Sometimes when I'm watching this show, they'll show one of the people and I'll think, "Who the heck is that?" When they had the big meeting with Jessica and everyone was sitting on the couch, there were a lot of people there who aren't getting much camera time. Those must be the "normal" (boring) people. No, Maricella never actually denied what Jessica said about her, but should she really have to? Her past is her past and it's nobody's business, unless she chooses to share it. What Jessica did to her was just horrible. She basically had a tantrum because Maricella wasn't giving her enough attention and said the most awful thing she could think to say about her. It was so much worse than when Dennis was drunk and obnoxious. At least Dennis didn't malign someone's character. I wouldn't want anything to do with Jessica after that. I couldn't believe they talked her into staying. She got the attention she wanted after all.

Babyjaxmom, I said the same thing while watching them sitting on the couch during the talk. The one gal was saying something and I didn't know who she was. And then Kara was talking to the one girl about Tom and I didn't know who she was either!

About the Hall passes it seems alot of them are married (wedding rings) so they are giving the single people the hall passes. MAYBE??

And maybe they're just showing us the interesting ones and not all the Hall Passes. I did think it was really sweet that Dennis realized Kara and Tom needed some time alone and handed over his Hall Pass for them to use. See? The guy's okay when he's not sloshed!

On the TVLand website, they show a Hall Pass with Tyrone and Heather in one of the bonus videos. There are also a couple of bonus videos with the alums talking about the Maricella/Jessica drama, and they seem to think Jessica is basically telling the truth. 80% true, according to Tom. http://www.tvland.com/prime/shows/highschoolreunion/season2/video_bonus_ep7.jhtml

Whether it's true or not, I still think it's nobody's business and Jessica should never have said it.

Thanks for sharing that link, Aurora. I still feel bad for Maricella. I think maybe she had a drug problem, which often forces people to do whatever it takes to get money. In one of the videos they were talking about how M said she'd been "clean" for 7 months and was turning her life around. I think she deserves to be allowed to do that. It's terrible that they showed this on TV (but then again she signed up for it) and now the whole world knows she may have been a hooker.

I agree with Babyjax.....it's no ones business and if Maricella wanted them to know, it was her story to tell not Jessica's!! Also Jesica was not her friend to begin with. She is the one who talked Maricella out of using the second hall pass on Scott, saying that she was with one person all through school and she shouldn't do that this time, all because she wanted Scott for herself. Now what kind of a good friend is that?

I wonder if the divorced couple really will get back together. He didn't seem as interested in that happening as she did.

I wondered that too, Dogdoc. But, I think Tom's personality seemed very blah, so maybe that's what it is. He just doesn't express much. This is the first time I've watched this show and don't know if I'd watch it again. Only if there is nothing else to watch. It was too scripted an unreal to me.

This was a weak season of HSR. I thought previous seasons were more entertaining. This was fairly blaaaa.

Well, I enjoyed it. Just finished watching the finale, and I always feel so sad when they have to leave and go back to their lives. I've been to Hawaii twice and it's always hard to leave! I was happy that Maricela and Scott decided to continue their relationship, and that Tom and Cara got back together. I love happy endings! They all really seemed to enjoy each other's company and have a good time. It made me wish my high school friends could have a reunion like that!

I do like this show but I agree, I liked last season better as well. It seems like they tried to inject way too much drama this season like bringing the two guys that did not even graduate this season and other things but I still liked watching haha
