Lisa's Friends
Moderator | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 10:40 pm     Dagny -- over and over and over it has been repeated. The identity of Lisa's mom has been verified -- positively. Sorry you have doubts, but we would never publish something that would put us at risk for fraud if we had an inkling of a doubt. |
Misslibra | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 10:41 pm     Not eveyone likes to be on TV. Her parents might be the type that don't want any part of the spot light. To do a chat is one thing, to be on TV is completely different, but you knew that right. ? |
Bernie | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 11:29 pm     Back to Lisa's friend-I was freaked out-she was a slightly distorted version of Lisa, like looking through one of those funhouse mirrors. It was actually a little bit creepy watching her. It reminded me of a pair of girlfriends I knew as a young teenager-at about 13 or 14-and how they dressed alike and did their hair the same etc, but one was always the prettiest. But they obviously both care for Lisa and think she's great, and that was nice to see. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 11:32 pm     Lisad - I agree....I thought the blonde looked like Meg Ryan, too....that was my first thought in the first shot of them. |
Surini | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:06 pm     Whoops, thought I just posted this but if I did it was to the wrong thread! Michelle and Lisa have been lifelong friends, she is not related to Lisa in any way. She did look very similar to Lisa on the video but in reality they do not look that much alike. She always had very curly (natural) hair and has straightened it recently. An interesting tidbit for you is that Tanya, the Meg Ryan look alike, is a doctor in Lisa's, Michelle's and her hometown. Guiltyviewer...no one took them as being sisters, I believe (if I recall right, will check tho) that Lisa is a lot taller than Michelle, that Michelle is a very tiny girl. |
Wedge | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:25 pm     Meg Ryan look alike? Did I miss something? Meg is hot...Lisa's friend looked more like a check gal in a 7-11 than a wholesome, hot Meg ...sorry but I am partial to Meg...didnt come close. No way. The comparison is insulting to her. |
Gritss | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:30 pm     She had an exact Meg Ryan hairdo from circa "You've Got Mail". She otherwise resembled Meg also, but not like a "ringer". She was taller than Meg too. |
Jaxrock | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:54 pm     Dagny: (Of course, no one bothered to ask her "Mom" the really tuff questions...that Lisa talked about in the house) At the beginning of the chat the other night, I did send a question to both Diantha & Spygirl, asking them to ask Lisa's mom how she felt about the way Lisa had talked about her in the house. Haven't read the transcript...wasn't it answered? But I don't think TVCH would knowingly put on a fraud. |
Cricket | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:56 pm     What I found interesting about seeing Lisa's friends is how pretty and classy they were and matched her just fine. It was so NOT like Chiara's friends, whom I did not find classy or attractive, even though Chiara said they were beautiful. Regarding why there wasn't an interview with Lisa's Mom, uh duh...could it be because Lisa wasn't on the block? They were just using the friends interview for filler on the live show. I'll bet when Lisa is on the block (prob this week) they will interview her Mom and show it. |
Closetfan | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:20 pm     Amen, Cricket! |

They might "match" her in the looks dept (though personally I didn't find either of them exceptional (including the one that, yes, did bear a resemblance in skin tone/hair color style/little girl voice to Lisa). I didn't think the blonde looks like Meg Ryan except for the hair style, as someone else pointed out. It's a 'type' of look I guess but I don't think that equals looking "like" someone. I didn't consider either of them overly pretty, but this is obviously a subjective call. My more pointed comment in response to what Cricket said above about the friends "matching" Lisa is that though all of them may seem to be "attractive" in their way, I wonder how well they match in the personality/brains dept? I wouldn't wonder about this, frankly, if someone hadn't mentioned in this thread that the blonde is a doctor. Granted, being a doctor is not a guarantee of anything, but at the very least I'll bet the average person who has successfully been through that amount of schooling probably knows what a plum is. Still not sure whether I believe Lisa didn't know, I can't be sure how much of her personality is real and how much isn't but based on DR sessions that I've seen, my impression is that she really is not very well-rounded about the wider world around her. Don't mean that as a slam, just an observation, and with the caveat that a) she could totally be playing a persona, and b) in any case we get a limited context with these people. I just think if she were more of a 'thinker' or conventionally 'smart' person we'd have seen more indication of it by now than we have, regardless of how deeply she might be playing the game. I know it *does* happen that you find groups of friends where some are really smart and some are more superficial/ordinary (brains-wise) but in my experience that is the exception, not the rule. Someone said 'birds of a feather' and that is mostly true, from what I've seen. I would find it interesting if in this case the commonality that is most important to these women is their outer appearance. Maybe that makes them more or less like lots of other people, dunno, but it's just interesting to me. Sorry for the long ramble! (Caffeine. Whatcha gonna do....) |
Sobaditsgood | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 05:48 am     oh, p.s.! re: "classy" and the perception thereof - from what I saw (I may have missed something?) Lisa's friends just sat there and talked... that's not any overt example of "classy" to me. It's just normal, expected behavior. In calling them "pretty and classy" they were compared to Chiara's friends, the poster saying they didn't find C's friends attractive. What about classy? It seems you also didn't find them classy, since you singled out Lisa's for this adjective, so I'm wondering... what equals "classy"? Chiara's friends were more animated and bubbly and if I remember right the shot they were in had a very casual 'feel' to it with them all sort of draped on a sofa relaxing together like a bunch of girls about to go out on the town. Lisa's friends had the close-in tight shot (no doubt to focus on their "beauty" eh?) and seemed to be in the usual "tastefully appointed apartment/house" setting these shows reserve for certain kinds of people. It's no surprise to most of us that the producers slant just about everything related to the shows, packaging things just so. Seems to me they do this with the "friends and family" segments no less than with other aspects of the show. And given this is the case, *I* for one would not at all assume any degree of class based on what little I saw of Lisa's friends. Who knows what they're like in their private lives? Lisa herself appears from what's aired on tv (goodbye msg to Gerry perhaps excepted) to be shy, demure, soft-spoken and, ok, maybe we could even say "classy" though you might disagree if you dislike her wardrobe. (heh) HOWEVER those with the live feeds saw her demonstrating fellatio, and most of us heard/watched her talking to Eric about her bellybutton and orgasms etc..... again this gets into subjective territory but personally I don't find either of those things classy **in the context of a setting they know some people have 24/7 access to**. Just a few more thoughts. |
Oldflyer | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 06:24 am     I find it interesting that some women on this board get SO 'catty' when it comes to Lisa ~ yet, they get very protective of Amy! (ooooops - ok, I'll leave now)

Sobaditsgood | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 06:51 am     Erg! Well, don't know who you mean, Oldflyer, but hopefully my comments above aren't being characterised as "catty" because I don't feel that way toward Miss Lisa at all! Honest! I'm a lot more direct and obvious about it when it's time for the claws to come out. Meeeoowww. And, uh, can't speak for anyone else in this thread but personally I certainly don't feel "protective" of Amy. That's all I'll say on that subject, so's to avoid the temptation toward cattiness. heh |
Chiparock | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 07:14 am     Oldflyer, perhaps the different treatment is because Amy is young, SOMEWHAT naive and so far has not done anything for us to question her virtue. Lisa, on the other hand, seems more worldly and has given us many examples of moral turpitude (using those words for lack of a more appropriate description): appearing in a PB bikini, demonstrating "technique" on a corncob, tongue-kissing Chiara, fondling Eric under the blankets, sharing the fact of her navel "O's", etc. I actually like them both, and would be happy if either or both of them came in 1 & 2. |
Bridgetlovesbb | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 08:42 am     yeah but compare the amount of times Amy has totally undressed in front of the cams to the times Lisa has! Amy is ALWAYS doing that! Personally, I like them both and would be happy if either wins! So long as Danielle DOESNT win! LOL |
