my goodness, i love the show. and i have no idea why i’m watching it either. i tell my friends and they’re like uh..okay Rose. but i think the coddling came from the fact that Heidi was bashing him, a little bit too much if you ask me. but i was very surprised how well he took it. very nonchalant. and i do agree with the whole worshiping Tom thing. it’s quite bizarre. i wonder if he’s just clinging on to the fact that Tom is the only one there who he has something in common with, but even so he’s being a bit extreme.

Re: last night’s episode (which I’ve only so far watched half of), I couldn’t believe how much they were coddling him. “You don’t have it as bad as Tom!” It was so bizarre. Not very therapeutic if you ask me. Also, Alice in Chains’ guy’s weird hero worship of Tom Sizemore isn’t going to lead anywhere good. (Also also, why am I still watching this show???)

i freaking love this show, and i agree with you…kind of. at first noticing that they both had a terrible past with one another made me worry about the safety of both of them. but seeing how the reconnected makes me think that there is still a connection between them…no matter how many times Heidi denies it. i mean just look at how the reacted when the first saw each other. and you would think Heidi wouldn’t even want to be in the same room with him for what he did. (i’d also like to comment that i love Tom Sizemore, despite his addiction, and i am inclined to believe that the basis or maybe even the entirety of beating Heidi was influenced by drugs. i feel he wouldn’t do that in a sober state.) i also just watching the most recent episode where Tom leaves with Monroe (who is terrible news for him) and i cannot stand not knowing if he leaves for real of not.

I watch these kinds of shows too, and enjoyed reading your post about it. In my post on the subject, I put the A&E shows on the “honest” side, and the VH1 shows on the “so bad it’s good” side, since they are so blatantly re-edited for max drama. I don’t think you can do good therapy and have it be on camera, period. Unless it’s private, there’s always bs going on, ESPECIALLY when the patients are people who earn by being on camera.
