Ladette to Lady Posted on Feb 24 2007 at 4:35pm by Just discovered this show and have to say, it's really good. I can't believe there are so many foul girls these
days. It's definitely an eye opener! I'm rooting for the dark haired mechanical engineer...can't recall her name, to win. Vicki and Frances have got to go!

RE: Ladette to Lady Posted on Feb 26 2007 at 11:55pm by This is a favorite reality show of mine. I'm thrilled the second season is on Sundance! So far, IMO, the first season was better - I liked the old principal much more. But Rosemary is a hoot! I love it when she gets all over the girls and when she cracks herself up. Hee!
I like the dark haired girl, too. Clara is her name, I think... I liek her the best. Vikki is horrible; her parents need to boot her arse out of the house!

RE: Ladette to Lady Posted on Mar 3 2007 at 4:41pm by The girl with the boob job who flashed them all the time is Frances (though I think that Angela, the one who did topless photo shoots, also mentioned having hers done) and Fran just squeeked through this week. So she made the top 3. After the cat fight with Louise I thought for sure she was next on the chopping block. -
RE: Ladette to Lady Posted on Mar 10 2007 at 10:14am by I thought that Victoria did come along way. She was really pleased with herself and was very likeable. However, Clara was the bell of the debutant ball. It reminded me of My Fair Lady when she came down the stair case. It was truly an "Eliza Doolittle" moment. -
RE: Ladette to Lady Posted on Mar 14 2007 at 9:54pm by She did come a long way. And she "needed" to win. The others don't need it as much. They will be fine just being there. But Victoria had really changed the most and seemed very sincere, and realistic about her problems. RE: Ladette to Lady Posted on Mar 28 2007 at 6:39pm by Yep, as I said in my discussion, if you watch Victoria's eyes, you can see her moving past the repremands and getting above it. Really learning. I would really like to see her stop drinking, that will cause a real slim down, and see her more together physically, maybe even a workout followup for her.
there could be a series followup with her, getting the image right, but don't want to derail her nursing career. A much finer goal.
Great girl. A good sport. Would like to know what becomes of her.

RE: Ladette to Lady Posted on Mar 4 2007 at 10:15am by There was something about Louise that just didn't ring true. I think she's an ACTRESS, put there to spice things up. Also, the head of the school just can't be for real! She's just too much of the stereotype. -
RE: Ladette to Lady - Louise Posted on Mar 7 2007 at 12:52am by Louise caused me great concern, as these ladettes were more than binge drinkers. Clearly Louise has a serious achohol problem that confounds her somwhat muddled upbringing in her cgchildhood and teens. It would be fair to say form such cursory observation that Louise is addicted... at 19 years old.
Louise, does not like to delay gratification. Louise has not been taught throughout her life just whet this means and what the rewards are for such behaviour.
I felt terribly sorry for Louuise, because she has everything going for her on the surface and is plagued by self-doubt, insecurities, and feelings of repeated failure. This girl needs a "finishing school" that addresses Louise's specific needs : alcohol abuse, complete lack of boundries when she is drunk., apporiate behaviour when drunk were the situations that causes her, so early, to turn to alcohol as a "medication" for all her ills. This young woman must NOT be left to languish and waste. An idea: an offshoot series about how Louise gets it back together...!
We're praying, and wishing and hoping for good sustained good things for Louise.
It's time, that with a little time and guidance Louise will overcome her betesnoir
And YOU TOO CAN SUCCEED... stop demeaning yourself: it's not a gob or a trap: it's you mouth!
I hope the company has a LtoL psychological team to deal with the young women who need help.
Louise is definitely one of them... she looks quite lost at times. At least Louise seems disinclined to parade her "Knockers".RE: Ladette to Lady - Louise Posted on Mar 12 2007 at 3:47pm by I agree that Louise in particular has at least incipient if not full blown alcoholism and couldn't believe that this was addressed as a problem of will power rather than as a problem of addiction. I logged onto this site because of this concern, hoping there was a way I could write and ask that Louise get the help that she needs. There was such a huge difference in her when she was sober that it is clear to me that she cant drink in any healthy way. Sundance, please get Louise the help that she needs.
RE: Ladette to Lady - Louise Posted on Mar 19 2007 at 11:27pm by It is astonishing to read the commentary about this young woman's apparent substance dependance disorder referred to as a personality or maturity problem.
I am very troubled that the teachers of this so-called "finishing school", if not the series's producers, did not intervene publicly in what is CLEARLY an acute health condition suffered by one of the participants.
There is no doubt that Louise's behavior is disastrous when she uses alcohol---she acknowledges this herself at one point, stating sadly that "one drink and it's all over" as far as her conduct is concerned. She is only too aware that something is wrong with her----she genuinely wants help of some sort to prevent her life being ruined. A finishing school/reality show is not the help she needs, but she doesn't apparently know what else to do. She, as well as the above commentator, believes she needs to learn 'better manners', not that she has a neurologically-based intolerance for alcohol. This thinking, or confusion or ignorance, is expected in an individual who has the disorder that Louise has; it's indefensible on the part of the school's instructors and the series's producers.
I have the same condition; I was born with physical intolerance for alcohol at least as acute as Louise's. I was taken to an inpatient detox facility, followed by month-long inpatient addiction treatment center, at the age of (barely) 20. I was also a former prep-school student with the best grades in Latin class, a dancer and athlete, a fashion model and a (usually) well-mannered upper-middle class girl. By the time I made it to detox, I had liver disease. Social graces, strength of will, consideration or compassion for others made no difference to the physical disorder I have. I'm living proof that you don't have to be degraded by and die of alcoholism--that detox experience was over 22 years ago as I write this. I was so disturbed by witnessing the irresponsible behavior of the instructors on this series that I looked up Louise's name to see if anything has been done to get her medical help.
And I'm glad to see I am not the only one who has. I hope to see a positive outcome to this story, someday.

RE: Ladette to Lady Posted on Mar 3 2007 at 5:41pm by I was hooked on this show from the first episode! I was sorry to see Louise go and hope she's getting help for alcohol abuse. She totally transformed when she was drunk. Most of the girls seem to have issues with alcohol. As a former substance abuser, it's very obvious and alarming to me.
I have to disagree about Victoria, I'm rooting for her. She may not have the most elegant speech and she's certainly not the most sophisticated ladette (which isn't saying much at all, is it?), but she's genuine and has a good heart and a good personality. I found it touching that she was so tickled about dancing with that young man at the house party!
RE: Ladette to Lady Posted on Mar 28 2007 at 6:35pm by Victoria is amazing, she's all the chunky monkey BUT watch her eyes, she's learning, she's getting it, she is a sleeping leader. Funny too. Sure Clara is lovely (mech eng) and that's fine, but Victoria is serious, really serious and I think she is probably very bright. Funny girl, endearing. I hope we see more of her
