TMZ reports Shelly's family getting death threats for Jeff's eviction
TexasLady:
Rachel had death threats as well last year. She talked about it one day in the back yard. I will see if I can find it for flashbacks.
This is a show with people who are put in a house with no diversions except interacting with each other. They all want to win the half million dollars. What makes it interesting or maddening are the choices they make and who they choose to align with. It brings out the best of people and the worst in people.
It's understandable that we as an audience get caught up with the people on a show. The cast is chosen for a reason. Who will bring the drama, who will be the one who is the mom type, who is the good looking guy who works out, the good looking girl with a hot body in a bikini. Is there someone who just hits us the wrong way. Of course there is. Something for everyone.
If we didn't have favorites and HGs we dislike, we wouldn't even watch. :) I can dislike people one year but when the game is over, I can see things differently. I disliked Maggie intensely, but in retrospect she played the game and she won. Kudos for her.

I think that Sheliar made herself more hated than any other HG in all seasons because her betrayal went so deep and her constant lies and then obviously trying to weasel out of them were so relentless. It's basically all she did all season - nothing useful, just lies and meanness and betrayals. People watch her and see all that is distasteful, like you want to puke when you listen to her.
However, sheliar is not her husband and daughter so their getting death threats is not right. I so feel sorry for her daughter having a beotch mother like sheliar but it's not josie's fault that this is her mother.

I don't feel sorry for Josie because I doubt how Shelly is on the show is how Shelly is in real life. I don't mean that Shelly doesn't have the side of her personality because obviously it's still her in the house. What I mean is that she probably doesn't run around telling lies and making empty promises to her child.
I am not going to judge Shelly's mothering skills based on how I see her on a reality show with a high price prize at the end. Money makes even the saintly get a little crazy with it.

Someone on the board suggested that the reason that sheliar hides R stuffed animals is because this is what she might do when she is upset with her own daughter. You don't just develop this kind of of meanness on a game show - it had to be in her blood before she came on the show. I suspect that sheliar has spent very little time with her daughter and used the whole daughter love thing/crying at the phone call thing to once again play the HG. It's a maniupulative way to gain support from the HG and guess what - it worked. Look how played the JJ's were all summer over it.

Agreed. Honestly, it's a game, and you're going to try to do whatever you can that's in the rules in order to win. You can't expect to be yourself in that house, because you might not get anywhere fast.
