Abigail - Not your fault at all. And as for ending it, done!

I don't care if she's an exotic dancer... Let's face it -- that profession pays BIG TIME! And let's face it.. she has a great BODY (even if her boob are so fake they look like 2 footballs... the rest of her IS beautiful) And I have NOT said she uses her children (thanks mod for deleting my post which was not an attack on Tonya, but a reply to Ocean's repeating that ugly statement about using children - whatever)

What I don't like is rather than Tonya seems BY HER OWN WORDS to put materialism before family. I would be impressed if she had all the STUFF she has AND 20 grand saved for her kids educations.... catch my drift? The fact that she dances is fine... her materialism.. is not...

Faery - Very nicely said! And I totally agree! She does have a great body, fake or not and is quite pretty as well. I really hope she does have all her 'things' and also $ put aside for college! That would be awesome. But my goodness, that certainly would be a lot of cash for 5 children. Perhaps we can just hope she has 'some' put away for now! :0)

Ryanc,
I have been a member at this great website for less than a week. I suggest you review all my posts, which are to the contrary. Your age is irrelevant to me. You seem to enjoy posting in all the folders and setting off fireworks.

The first part of your post is unwarranted and untrue, I don't appreciate you taking a light hearted conversation and turning into something personal, just so you can invent a red alert to a moderator.
If you want to comment on something personal to me, please do it in my Member Folder. Thanks

Tonya mentioned the kids were with her husband. She had a conversation a while ago about this subject. She said they were living in their home with her husband.

I don't give her as much credit as some of you. She also said in same conversation mentioned above, that she liked to stay out half the night. That doesn't sound like someone who has children at home.

I am with you Twiggy. Remember why she lost her house and husband got kids before the divorce. She said it was because she didnt like being in the house with him and would stay out all night. She didnt see what his problem was because she was doing him a favor by not being around when he was. She also said he was home with the kids at night and he worked during the day. She would come home at four in the morning, those were her words. So the question is when he went to work and she was sleeping it off, who was watching the kids?

Yup, I remember that conversation very well. Thank you Maris!!

Twiggyish,
I located the following article in the Las Vegas Review Journal about Tonya. I hope her children don't read the paper.
Lon

Oh brother, it looks like our local entry in CBS's "Big Brother 3" might be in trouble on the home front.

The question isn't whether Tonya Paoni survives three months of bickering and back-stabbing to win the $500,000, but whether her boyfriend is the forgiving kind.

Realizing this might fall under the headline: Far more information than we need, Paoni has spilled much of her life's story, the seamy and steamy side, since she's been in the Big Brother house. The reality show involves 12 houseguests under 24-hour surveillance by cameras and microphones.

The show is all about alliances, and Tonya, a buxom blonde divorcee with five children, certainly was busy bonding over the weekend.

Here's some of what was caught on mediafiends.com and jokersupdate.com, Web sites with posters that monitor the 24-hour Internet feeds:

• She and her boyfriend, David, live in a big house on a golf course in a double-gated community in Las Vegas.

• David is, she says, "the epitome of male fashion. He works in an art gallery and never wears a tie. He does like Don Johnson. If a deal isn't going his way with a girl, he takes off his blazer and he usually (closes a deal) because he has big arms."

• Her boyfriend, she says, probably "is mortified at little things" she's done in the house that she doesn't even think about. Maybe like getting a massage from a male houseguest, shaving a houseguest's chest and talking about her fake boobs? If anything she's done so far has bugged David, stay tuned.

• She and Chiara, one of the houseguests, sunbathed topless and then showered in front of male contestants. So much for her strategy to "lie low for a while."

• Then, Paoni told Chiara that David should not be upset, because "he should know me enough not to expect that, and if he doesn't then I can find someone else I bet (looking into the camera as she says it)."

Chiara: "You can now."

Man oh man!! That hurts!! Perhaps we will have another repeat of Nicole and her husband's drama from last year?? I would be pretty angry if I was Tonya's boyfriend and I saw that!!

oohhhh good article!

Abigail,
You're right. I forgot about Nicole last year.
The good thing for Nicole is she had no children if I recollect. This woman has 5 of them to answer to, let alone the boyfriend. Does anyone know why she was divorced? Was it once or twice?

I believe she is divorced twice. Once from Manus who she has 2 children with and the other guy is with 3 children. Manus is the one she is having a divorce problem with. I know this because I did a search on google (lol) and came up with the birth of their 4 year old. I thought maybe I could find something about if she was a stripper, however blonde me realized that if she was she would have a "stage" name. But this is all I found.

Iceprincess,
Great minds think alike. I also did a search and realized the same on the "stage" name. That is how I stumbled on the Vegas Review Article, which in itself is telling to me.

Nicole had stepchildren, as I recall. Just an FYI. :)

Well, I still don't know if Tonya was a stripper, but man, she has had a lot of jobs.

She is now talking about managing a jewelry store. She has also worked at an art gallery (that's how she met her boyfriend).

I'll give her credit. The woman didn't sit on her butt letting the men in her life completely support her.

I don't know if she's a stripper or not either but I tell you what, I used to live out in Vegas and those girls can make some cash. If that's what Tonya is all about, she definitely should give it a try. JMHO Stripping's not for me but if others feel comfortable doing it, then more power to them. Some of those girls were making like 10 grand a weekend.

Okay, so I know I started this big drama yesterday but I just want to say that I do kind of like Tonya's sense of humor. But having said that, how funny was it watching her last night trying to run with those melons!!! I thought she was going to seriously hurt herself. And since I am feeling a little catty today, I know black roots were 'in-style' for a little while but will BB please give that girl some hair dye????

Who was it that said something about her carrying extra weight around and so it might have made her more tired?

I think it was Lisa, maybe?
