I was just browsing the
Trading Spaces site, and I'm uneasy about how this show is going to treat DeeAnn, if how the show writes about Christians is any indication.
Granted,
Margaret is probably an extreme example of the fundamentalist Bible-thumper type, but statements like the following in the episode recap are (I feel) gratuituous and unwarranted.
"In Massachusetts, Margaret is praying to God to save her from reason." (This after Margaret "is still freaking out about coming within 100 yards of a psychic."
Psychics are representative of
reason??)
Well when you act like someone just told you that they have a deadly air-born disease around them, I think they're SLIGHTLY more reasonable than you.
"Margaret tells Jeanne that Chris forced dark-sided stuff on her, then tells her to give herself over to the Bible. Particularly the early books, when God smites people, we can only assume."
"And in Louisiana, Margaret announces to a cab driver that she's never met before that she's happy to be back home, in God's country. Apparently God loves creating stifling heat and bizarre insects. When she arrives home, Margaret finally stops biting her tongue about her religion and goes absolutely insane in the name of the Lord. As she rants and raves, nearly speaking in tongues, her children look like the Disciples when they were visited by the Holy Spirit. Terrified and confused and hoping they don't end up dead."
Did you watch the show? That's exactly how it happened.
The reason I bring this up is: Given that DeeAnn's level of muscularity would be considered "massive" by Hollywood and TV types, I'm worried that the first outburst she has over the other family's kids (or whatever) will be attributed to "'roid rage", and will harp on that at every opportunity. Maybe not on the program, but certainly in the online recap.
Jesus, in one short post you've become one of the biggest whiners about being falsely persecuted.
You know what was gratuitous and unwarranted? That lady lying to the other woman about how terrible her family was, or harping on about being a "God Warrior" and not wanting the tainted money...until she found out she was getting what SHE wanted, and suddenly she wasn't too good to give up the money.
Unwarrented was that psycho.
