All right, Jodi says that Joe is the love of her life, blah blah blah. She came back for him. She was just divorced so I guess the husband didn't count. Then when he decides he likes Rachelle, she suddenly breaks out into the "woe is me, he cheated on me all the time" thing. Move on all ready! And Troublemaker, he's just a loser. Sorry, but it's true. I really at this point, don't care if we find out why he is the way he is.

I thought this comes on Thursday nights, is it Wednesday nights? I'm about to watch it now online. Df, you can watch it online. You can get to it from the link Rosie provided when she started the thread.

Didn't Rachelle (the late bloomer) just recently get divorced also? It seems like neither of these women took any breathing time before trying to jump right back into another serious relationship.

Smokey, do you think the classmates can cure the troublemaker? That summer girl gave it a try and got no where with him. Mamie, Jodi seems to be acting like a victim doesn't she? Dfennessey, check the tv schedule too. I believe they show reruns. Ahnicka, yes Rachelle said she was married to a controlling boxer. They showed the boxer meeting Joe the football player in a preview. Oh boy,Joe the football player sounds like he can't stay with just one woman but I don't understand Jodi staying with him for so many years either. The previews also showed about 3 engagement rings. Do you think TVLand purchased the rings? lol

I'm sure the show purchased the rings, as "KAY" was prominently displayed on the ring box I saw in the promo. The company gets a write-off on the diamond (Kay Jeweler), and the show probably gets a discount on an already-horribly-overpriced ring, and the poor guy proposing gets a free ring. Winners all around.

Good catch, Sia. I missed the free advertising.

Hey, Rosie. Nice to meet you, if we haven't "met" before in posting. My kids and I find it interesting to look for product placement in movies and in TV shows. It's weird--not to mention inconsistent--to see someone's t-shirt blurred out on a reality show, yet see some products' packages clearly visible while others are turned or otherwise obscured.

Sia, I thought the Kay Jewelers ring box was ostentatiously done too. I really can't believe how Rachelle is telling Joe she loves him when she just got out of a 16 year marriage. 16 years! She's rushing into another serious relationship so quickly. She certainly doesn't waste any time.

Nice to meet you too, Sia. It is a good thing more than one person is watching so we don't miss things like that ad placement.

Yeah Jodi was annoying me... and I'm sorry to say, she doesn't really look very attractive... Rachelle is a knockout... I know that shouldn't matter, but just sayin... Joe seems to be really into Rochelle, they're pretty cute together... Looks like things get crazy when her ex comes into play, fun show!

I agree Laura, Jodi hasn't aged well IMO. She was very cute in high school, but not so much any longer while that other gal is a complete knock out, very natural beauty! So, of course, who is the guy going to go for? Oh, and I don't think he's aged that well either. He's nice looking, but if he was the best looking boy at school, well, not sure I buy that. LOL.

Rachelle keeps making it seem like Joe is still so hot and looks better now than when younger, but I thought his high school picture looked better than he does now. I agree with Brenda, he's not all that attractive, but it's not like there are a lot of men at the reunion right now to choose from. Rachelle is definitely a knock out and looks even better than she did in high school. I guess I'm alone in this, but I actually feel sorry for Jodi. Who wants to see their ex, a person she still loves, fawning all over another woman or a woman fawning all over him; let alone watching him "fall in love" with someone else right before her eyes. I do agree however, that Jodi is not the most attractive woman and I don't she was in high school either judging by the picture, but I don't think such things should be a priority.

I feel bad for Jodi. She has a lot of feelings for him -- there's nothing quite like that first love. Old wounds for sure. Has to be hard for her since she still holds a flame for him.

I feel bad that she's there while he's wanting someone else. That has to suck but there is something about her that bugs me.

I'd be willing to bet those rings were donated by Kay Jewelers in return for the national exposure. It's advertising. One 30 second TV commercial would cost far more than those three rings combined (it's Kay after all, not Bulgari). Every time I see the Troublemaker (John?) onscreen, I can't stop wondering what happened to him to make him so angry. I'd be willing to bet he grew up in an abusive situation. Not excusing his ugly behavior at all, just wondering what caused it. I admired the Summer Girl for trying to turn him around, but I think the job was way, way too much for her. What a nasty, angry man he is! I think it'll come out somewhere down the line. And I have to say, I had a little more respect for the Summer Girls after this episode. That Misfit girl (just can't remember all the names, sorry!) really does have a chip on her shoulder. The SG's may be plastic and fake, but they've really been nothing but nice to her. She shouldn't go on and on about the way they look. She needs to get over herself. HS was tough for a lot of people, but you shouldn't let your HS experience define your whole life. It was only 4 years, after all.

But you know, so many people do carry that weight for a long time. (to quote the Beatles! LOL) It's hard if you are the one that's been made to feel so low about yourself. I doubt the summer girls were anything but NOT nice in high school. I hope that they all resolve their feelings and problems.

I agree Babyjaxmom. That one summer girl was very direct and reasonable and smart about how she approached the nerdy girl and how the nerdy girl has been bathmouthing the summer girls all the time. She had some very good points. The nerdy girl then seemed to throw a sour grapes kind of attitude toward them and made herself look bad. Yes, HS sucks for some of us, but we grow up and move on. If the Summer girls want to look all overdone and fake, that is their choice, but so far it seemed they were being nice and respectful to everyone, which is all you can ask.

I seem to remember a snide remark made 1st by the 2nd arriving Summer Girl about the misfit girl that "if she wasn't popular (important?) in high school then she's not popular (important?) now," or something similar to that. I think it's editting that makes it seem like the misfit girl is constantly talking about the Summer Girls. I think its only been 1 or 2 occasions tops. While I was watching the 2nd episode which was supposed to be day 2, they were showing the misfit girl talking to the SGs about wanting to be them in high school & also making somewhat snide comments. But if you remember, she was wearing the same purple shirt from the 1st epsiode of day 1 & the SGs were wearing the same bathing suits: latina SG in the same white swimsuit & thin SG in the same black swimsuit; same positions in the kitchen from the 1st day. It was all from the same day, 1st day of the reunion, after they changed into their swim gear to go sit in the jacuzzi. I think editting is just making it appear as if she's constantly talking about it. I mean no disrespect by those name titles, I just haven't learned all the names yet.

I don't know their names either, but I wouldn't be surprised if that one summer girl, the one who didn't go on the date with the jerky guy, had said something. She seems a bit less mature and intelligent than the other one. Nerdy girl looked bad when she was snickering and making remarks while the summer girls were 20 feet away. Yeah, I would expect some honest, snide remarks to the camera at first just to sort of relay the history and explain your initial reaction to seeing that person again.

The Summer Girl who went on the date with the Troublemaker ("feisty latina" SG) is the one who made the snide remark to the other SG about the Misfit girl when she (feisty SG) very first arrived after getting out of the SUV and joining the others. You're probably right though about establishing the history. I actually think the other SG (the one who went on the date with Troublemaker) is less mature than the other one...at least so far...I might want to change my mind later though. LOL

I can barely keep the others straight! LOL! I was just surprised when the summer girl tried to talk to the jerky guy and then how she handled the nerdy girl when she was telling her she didn't appreciate her talking bad about them behind her back. She showed a maturity I didn't expect. But time will tell!

I actually remember Jodi saying that she was still in the process of divorcing her current husband. Did anyone else hear that, or am I hearing things? Just curious. Thanks.
