Honestly, Vicki has to be the antithesis of an inspirational speaker. I don't think I could stay awake during her droning. Jeanna did little to endear herself to me with her comments about the "bummers" and "bums." Yes, Jeanna, you have no acquaintance with any homeless people (or whatever; they are in the OC), but to call them names and compare them to zoo animals is beyond the pale. And Ryan's second or third cousin is proof that the branches on the family tree don't extend too far. The mouse joke? Real classy.

Reader, the person who first found the definition of "the shocker" got it from Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shocker_(hand_gesture)

Jenna's comments on the "bummers" were uncalled for on camera, sure her daughter should be careful where ever she goes.Yes, I am sure she was just being herself. Just seemed a bit snobbish and I haven't even finished watching this episode. Vicki's son can have the most blank expression on his face when he "elects" not to understand why he was on that cruise. The ungrateful children of some of these women are down right boring and immature.

Jodie - LOVE Wiki - guess I now know!! the info I learn on the internet!! ITA Mara and with Jenna's comments, I truly think her sarcasm could be a way for her to deal with a depression with the way things are going in her life? just throwing it out there -

I noted the way the producers made passive aggressive comments on Vicky with the ship's horn. They made it sound like the ship was blowing raspberrys at Vicky. The producers also went out of their way to show Vicky's classes were full of empty chairs with no one choosing to sit in the front row. Whatever Vicky's issues are, the producers certainly are not helping her in any way.

Again may I reiterate that I'm so disappointed I can't watch the episodes at the same time as Americans... Last night I watched the eppy where Vicki and Jeana visit her son, Shane. I was so disgusted with her children's behaviour. It was absolutely awful to watch. And I really hate that Jeana didn't pay attention to what her sons were learning from their father, and now they'll likely continue the cycle. I just don't understand that, though. How can you NOT recognise that children will mimic the behaviour of the same-sex parent, and step in and "interrupt" it before it was too late? I actually liked Shane last season, and even thought Colby was a decent enough kid (although mouthy, which would be common for a teenage boy of his age). But I have no respect left whatsoever for those two "boys" (NOT men) now. And it was so sad to see Jeana, in other circumstances such a strong and powerful woman in her own right, take the abuse they dished out to her. I was actually wishing that Vicki would have stepped in and told them off. She is so "vocal" in most other instances; why couldn't she when it really counted? I'm disgusted, just disgusted. If that was the way Matt was treating her, no wonder Jeana would mostly prefer to hang out with her gay "husband", and overeat for emotional reasons (I'm NOT being mean, she has said she's an emotional eater herself). And she must lose sleep knowing that her boys are not exactly going to be treating their future partners with any respect.

I haven't like Shane this year or any other year, he along with his brother and sister are snobs along with Jeanna. I thought her reference to the homeless was an example of her compassion which was to say the least heartless. I am disgusted with her and Kara, I thought Jeanna was a much more compassionte person, but I was wrong. Now I see where her kids get there attitudes. My opinion has changed to say the least. Vicki is another one who is too much, at least her daughter seems to be her only redeeming quality that I can see. Vicki needs constant attention and can't stand for anyone other than herself to get it (ie Tamara). I only wish I didn't have to listen to that pie hole of Vicki's next year. Did anyone notice on the cruise that she only had an audience of about maybe fifteen people? I couldn't sit and listen to her drown on and on, I can see she doesn't have any speaking skills, and please stop her from woo hooing please!!

ooh, Chitchat, us Canadians haven't seen the episodes to which you're referring. AND, I totally agree with you about Vicki; I''ve said time and time again here I want to kick my tv everytime Vicki "whoo hoos". I think she has the idea that people find it endearing...but it is so incredibly annoying. My tv barely survived when the last Lake Havasu eppy was on (but thankfully Vicki was boinked on the head with a football).

I'm sorry if I spoiled, I forgot that our Canadian friends are a few behind. Please excuse the mistake. And I lol about the football, it was priceless to say the least.

No worries about spoiling, Chitchat. I've been posting in here knowing that Americans are ahead of me. I'm just a bit frustrated that when I am all aghast over an episode, it's old news for the rest of you!

No worries Jodie, some of us stay constantly aghast a Vicki's behavior.

Or there are people like me that record them all and don't always get to watch them until a week or two later, so the discussion on past episodes is always welcome.

Jodie, my mouth fell open when listening to those boys speak to their mother. Any girlfriends better run fast and far away, but unfortunately there are probably many girls who grew up with fathers like that and will flock to that kind of abusive treatment, have kids of their own and so on and so on. So sad and I blame Jeanna, what the heck is she thinking??? She sees it now so nip it now!! If she is supposedly standing up for her new self and new life she needs to start there - if she can't get her own sons to treat her right, she sure as s**t isn't going to be able to pick a guy to treat her right....grrrrr.

Seems like Jeana gives as good as she gets. Listening to her interaction with her daughter last week was interesting...

I can see Jeana not accepting that kind of behaviour from women, but I feel like she was so beaten down by her ex that she practically expects it from all men now.

Yep, agreed, she's all tough when it comes to women, but when she has emotional connections of any kind with a man she'll take crapola up the wazoo...

Here is a recent article from our local paper with Jeana: LINK

Thanks for the link Bee. Interestingly enough, she doesn't answer the first two questions at all (how being on the show helped her or helped her with her children). And she's kinda contradictory (I worked at a charity till I realized it was too much but now I work for four charities?). Honestly, I think the only time she was being truthful was the last question when she talked about the perks. I like Jeana, but that interview felt fake, fake, fake!

Here's what I think of Jeanna's article.... Blah, blah, blah..... Jeanna talks about her children as being role models to their piers, but if she really saw her kids as most of us do...<77> Do I feel bad for Jeanna? NO WAY... She has let her kids treat her with no respect just as her husband did, she is an enabler.

interesting point Chitchat "she lets her kids treat her with no respect" That would be fodder for a psych if you ask me - I cant help putting together this info with the fact she was a Playboy model... (not that there's anything wrong with that - )

What does being a Playboy model 20 something years ago have to do with her kids' lack of respect? Just curious... And honestly, except for their treatment of their mother, Jeana's kids are much more of a role model than, say, Lynne's kids!

I read Jenna's article the only question I have is why would someone getting off welfare need to get "head shots"? I love the idea that they get new clothes, dental work & makeovers, but not the idea of photos. Just my I did notice she didn't say anything about Shane being a role model...........

Costacat... I totally agree with you about Lynne's kids. I stick to my previous observation of Jeanna's kids. When Jeanna and Vicki went to see Shane play, him and his brother were just down right rude to her and Vicki. I wouldn't want my kids to use them as a role model, and Jeanna's daughter is a really cute gal, but she too has an attitude problem.

I suspect that Vicki's daughter, Briana(?), may have failed to graduate from nursing school. She and her brother were supposed to graduate at the same time. The notes at the end said the brother became the first member of the family to graduate from college. The notes said nothing about Briana graduating. The notes said that Briana's plans to join the army had been put on hold and that she was considering other opportunities.
