		<description>To and old friend~ So, honey what do you do with your time since your don&#039;t sit your fat   in front of the TV to watch reality TV?  Oh! I know, you sit in front of your computer, defending your so called friends?!  And you have no idea how they acted on the Episodes, since you didn&#039;t watch?  HELLO. maybe you should get a clue and stop juding all of the bloggers at this site, since we did watch and you did not!  Vicky, Brady, Ed and Heba, AKA The evil four were really nasty to all of the contestants on the program, and I do not believe that it was edited to look that way.  Vicky herself ( the most evil one) stated at one time that she was going to take home the $250K and Brady would take home the $100K, now isn&#039;t MONEY the root of all EVIL???</description>

		<description>Doing a little preaching of your own with that last statement...we&#039;re all learning, hopefully.  Too bad we&#039;re not all loving, forgiving, and understanding as well.  It all just makes me sad, not just for Vicky and Brady, but for all of the people who wrote in with such anger, hatred and visciousness and evidently didn&#039;t begin to see it in themselves. Sad for all of the people who spend time watching these contrived &quot;reality&quot; shows and become so emotionally involved in them. I don&#039;t need your sympathies at this time, and I&#039;ll keep my rose-colored glasses, as they&#039;ve worked quite well for me in my 45 years, showing me on a daily basis that giving one&#039;s best to others brings out the best in others--period.  I never said everything was &quot;right&quot; in the way my friends behaved--but I trust that they will do their best to fix whatever was wrong.</description>

		<description>Also, I&#039;m sorry, but quoting religious statements ie&quot; there for but for the grace of god I go&quot;, is inappropriate and self rightous.  It places a tone in which you are preaching/speaking down to the rest of us children here, who, shock of all shockers, aren&#039;t all catholic or even religious for that matter.  Instead of preaching, you should be the one learning</description>

		<description>old friend- 

your friends vicki and brady opened themselves up to this sort of exposure/response from viewers when they signed up to be on a television show. They are not victims.  They signed up for this, and greedily so. My guess is that they are going to be doing public speaking on weightloss- in which they get paid, nothing out of the kindness of their hearts.

The fact that so many of us have been disgusted with their behavior should actually be an eye opener for you, as their friend, that something isn&#039;t right here. All the editing in the world can&#039;t erase the expression, words, and actions of these two clowns.  Gods speed to you, if such negative and manipulative people are in your life, my sympathies go out to you</description>

		<description>Phil:  I wrote to &quot;take heed&quot;, which means, pay attention if you are one of those who wrote such hate-filled things and allowed yourselves to become so emotionally involved in this.  I do believe the things these people wrote will be reflected back to them.  &quot;Be wary&quot;  connotes danger may be involved-- words I did not use and a bit strong for my intended message.  And I am getting off of my high horse--I appreciate the admonishment--too much anger and hatred here for me.  Vicky and Brady, I just want you to know that not everyone hates you or judges you so harshly, and I am very proud of what you accomplished despite all of the adversity inherent in the game, and despite all of the ugliness for which you were called down yet people on this forum seem to think is okay for them to visciously throw out at you.   May you and your children be shielded from all negativity and may you continue to move in a positive direction in your lives. As I said before, I believe in you and know that you will take the best things from this experience and use them for your own continued well-being and the good of others--as we who read the local papers know you&#039;ve already begun to do.  Godspeed, my friends.</description>

		<description>To Pat:

This old friend,  name &quot;Denise&quot;, who worked several years with Brady when he and Vicky were newlyweds--you missed my whole point, which was--judge not, lest ye be judged.  And for everyone else, as I worked all day today in my yard, in Houma, Louisiana, processing all of the hate mail I read this morning.....I couldn&#039;t help but wonder....what are you people who watched this show and became so emotionally involved, actually &quot;doing&quot; in your own lives???  Get a life, for goodness&#039; sake!!!  It&#039;s a TV show!!!  I applaud Vicky&#039;s perserverence despite what may be her shortcomings. Having known the two of them, I am sure they have come to see the mistakes that were made....and at the same time, I have to wonder, could part of all this hatred from across the U.S. perhaps exist because Vicky WAS such a formidible opponent?...I am not saying that everything that Vicky and Brady said and did (which I admittedly didn&#039;t catch all of, because I do not sit myself on the sofa on ANY night to watch reality TV, which is far, far from reality, and transparently edited to increase ratings) was &quot;right&quot;.....but it doesn&#039;t matter, because the truth of it all is that they are human, they were under extreme pressure, and they are fallible, as we all are. If you didn&#039;t like the show, then you shouldn&#039;t have continued to watch it!!!  You are crucifying them for not being what you apparently needed them to be, but I pose this question to all of you who felt the need to judge before a national audience--are YOU who YOU need to be?   We are ALL works in progress.  Lighten up!!!  None of you who didn&#039;t go through this grueling program could possibly know how it may have affected YOU--so as we say in the so-called &quot;white trash&quot; South--get off of your high horses, tend to your own business, and if you want to truly voice your opinion with class, STOP JUDGING OTHERS.</description>

		<description>Old friend:

Did you hear some of the foul lamguage that came from her mouth in her interviews? That was not perceived... that actually happened. She said the things she said, and so did he,  NBC didn&#039;t &quot;portray&quot; anything. They are the people they are. Sad.</description>

		<description>I watched the finale and actually just saw the rerun episode. Again, I was struck by how PERFECT it was that Brady (the tool) and Vicky (the witch) received NOTHING. They can say it was about so much more than the money, it was for their health, their children blah blah blah. I call crap! For them - Vicky especially - it was about WINNING, pure and simple.

That family got exactly what they deserve. And because Vicky is such a vile, mean-spirited person I have no doubt the weight will be back rather quickly. Fancy editing she claims? Nah. You can&#039;t make up evil like that. It was real.</description>

		<description>I knew Brady and Vicky way back when, and despite all of the evil things they have been accused of or perceived as being, I find it hard to believe they could have changed so much.  Yet even if they have....for every one of you who criticized them here so harshly, I have to say to you, your behavior is no better than theirs.  We are all at different places in this journey of life, and if this event in the lives of the couple I knew as down-to-earth, very big-hearted and sweet, intelligent and extremely fun.....causes them to grow and become better people, then they have not lost at all. All of you self-righteous, judgemental people who wrote in should ALSO take heed of the notion of &quot;karma&quot;.......and lastly, I want to say, if these two people I remember as humble and beautiful have really reached such dire straits spiritually--hateful bloggers, watch yourselves--and remember, &quot;there but for the grace of God go I.&quot;  As humans we are all subject to any manner of weaknesses, experience failures and triumphs, and can ALWAYS change and grow.  To Vicky and Brady, I want to say, I still love you, I believe in you and my prayers are with you and your families.</description>
