Jennifer’s Side Of Sober House – Season 2, Episode 3

jenn_s2e3

As she did last season, house manager Jennifer Gimenez is set to give us her weekly take on each episode of Sober House with Dr. Drew. Below, Jenn talks about the third episode of the show: Mike’s departure (and return), Kari Ann’s intercepted attempt at a return and the curfew violation by a few that resulted in consequences for all.

Toward the beginning of the episode, Mike was kicked out for hitting a camera man. I thought it was strange that he was let back in, given the no-tolerance policy for violence.

The difference between Mike and Kari Ann is that Mike didn’t come into the house loaded and he wasn’t starting havoc. During the group meetings that they had with Drew, he wasn’t interrupting and getting on the phone because he wanted more attention. He was participating. When Mike hit the camera, he felt provoked. Kari Ann had punched the cameraman in the neck; Mike shoved him. It’s still physical violence, it’s still not OK and there are consequences due to that. Keep in mind that Kari Ann didn’t want to be there. She never apologized. Mike did.

But that all said, there really isn’t a no-tolerance policy regarding violence, then.

Dr. Drew evaluated Mike between him leaving and coming back. I know I said there’s absolutely no violence, but we were worried that Mike would die if he was out. And the thing is that I really did care about Mike. We were a couple days into filming and I started to care about all of them at that point.

Speaking of coming back, Kari Ann attempted to this episode. Was this as big of a surprise as the show made it out to be?

There were finally a couple hours where things were going OK at the house. We are all getting along. Seth and I were bowling, Heidi and Tom were throwing a football. And all of a sudden Bob comes up the hill with Kari Ann. It was like a bomb on our happiness. I was like, “Are you kidding me?” You could see by everyone’s reactions how shocked we were.

From what we saw, you stayed pretty quiet.

I think everybody was freaking out. What you see is the one who freaks out the most, and that’s Heidi. I was more in disbelief and trying to keep calm because I knew if I overreacted the whole house would react. I need to lead by example. Heidi started going off about how Kari Ann was loaded. Kari Ann was being really confrontational and going off on everyone. If you really want to come back into the house, why are you going off on everybody? Kari Ann started getting anyone that she could get on her side, and that person ended up being Tom, which was so weird and gross. It was disgusting.

So you think, as Heidi implied, that he was sexually motivated to take Kari Ann’s side?

Yeah. I think that Tom is very distorted in some areas. I think they are all sick. They are sick trying to get better, but Tom sees this girl, and…I don’t know. I don’t think he was trying to be the hero here. That was the first time I saw the interaction between Tom and Heidi turn — they were getting along and then he did something to piss her off. It wasn’t because he was purposely trying to piss her off. Tom’s not all there, I think you see. Tom has a violent streak, an angry streak.

At this point, it was unfathomable as a viewer that Kari Ann’s return to the house should even be considered.

I agree with you. It wasn’t like Kari Ann was trying to change and get better. It was like Kari Ann was just coming back to play the part. She obviously didn’t want it from the moment she walked in there. So I was really shocked, I was angry, I was appalled. I said that I needed to test her. It was at that moment she decided to leave, and not just because of me but because she realized she wasn’t welcomed there. Heidi did have a great point, why come back to a place where you’re not wanted? At that point we saw her intentions — you can’t bulls*** a bulls****ter. We could see right through that. That’s really a key thing: you know that this girl doesn’t want it so why try and help her? I don’t wish ill will, but if you don’t want it, there are so many other people out there that do.

In happier news, Seth made a decision this episode to stay home and play board games instead of going out on their first free night.

I was blown away, especially after all the stuff that was happening. I was like, “Oh no. This going to end in another webcam apology for Seth. This is going to be terrible.” But all week he had been saying, “I really want this, I really want this.” When he told me he wanted to stay home, I got teary eyed because I saw the desire in him. That’s the difference between Kari Ann and Seth – you can see a desire in a person’s eyes.

On the flip side, Jennie, Mike and Dennis Rodman stayed out, violating curfew.

By the way, Heidi stayed home too — she went to bed early. I suffer from migraines and I caught a full-blown one that night. I was vomiting, I couldn’t see and I had to take my migraine medication. When they came home, I was little out of it. It was like, “Are you kidding me? I have to stay up and wait for these people?”

It did seem unfair that Seth and Kendra were punished for what other people did.

This is a group — they rally together. I figured that if everyone didn’t pay the consequences, the people who did stay would think they could get away with something next week because they were good this week. I wanted the people who did the right thing to be angry at those who messed up, not me. In this setting, if one person fails, they all do, because of the group dynamic. It doesn’t have to do with sobriety, it has to do with accountability to each other. Kendra and Seth didn’t have to write the 150 words, but they did lose their phones. When I was living in a recovery home, I got my phone all the time. I don’t think I had it half the time. It happens.

How long do you take the phones away for?

Twelve hours. They were probably going to sleep eight of those hours.

Dennis gave you the biggest problems about this. Among the things he said to you were that you don’t know what you’re doing, and most people in the house don’t respect you.

Meanwhile, I ended up getting his phone, and he ended up writing. If he didn’t respect me, he wouldn’t have done that. He was just trying to push my buttons and I gave him no reaction.

Keep up with Jenn on Facebook and follow her on Twitter.

i just think that jenn is more than annoying & acts like a +&+#“`~^$_%_&$(@ more than half the time. your not helping ppl your pushing them. you think your so above these ppl yet you used to be just like them. .

brandy March 25, 2010 at 11:43 pm

in response to dancinc’c comments, dont judge jenn. that may be your opinion. are u a recovering addict, cause i am. i couldnt do what she does. these people are adults who act and think like children. she is helping them. she gives them somewhere to stay with structure, which they dont have at home, if they even have a home. until u can walk a mile in the addicts and recovering addicts shoes, dont judge cause u have no idea how they feel. by the way NOBODY EVER FORGETS THEY WERE AN ADDICT at some time. but at same time her trying to help those people is jeopardizing her sobriety…. stop and think about that. they talk to her like she is trash, and i think most of them should be removed for the way they treat staff. rehab i went to, that was not tolerated and you would be escorted out quickly. not fair to others who follow the rules. they are there for a reason. dont be so judgemental

Greetings,

One of the things which continually concerns me is what kind of nutritional and supplemental support these people are getting. Even “normal” sober folks need supplemental support these days and years of alcohol and drug abuse drains the body of essential nutrients. I received iv vitamins, which was wonderfully helpful after prolonged illness, and I know substance abusers probably started off with low levels of various essential vitamins and nutrients and compounded it through substance abuse. Clinical depression and other mental illnesses are often infinitely treatable with therapeutic levels of vitamins and things like high grade fish oil and other essential fatty acids, and also an alkaline diet. If you feel like crap you’re probably not nutritionally balanced and toxic. The body needs to be PH balanced, around 6.3 or 6.4, (or higher for things like cancer), in order to function properly and be able to detoxify itself. Then it needs therapeutic levels of high quality vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to function optimally, like God intended so-to-speak. Good doctors up on the latest know how much of this, that and the other our bodies need to be optimum, not “normal”. My concern is, are these folks getting (and taking) their vitamins and fish oil? Love to you all-

Lucky Charms March 26, 2010 at 12:15 am

I have to agree with Brandy about Jenn. These celebrities kill me though… Kendra last week getting all bent out of shape because the man didn’t want her applying make up on job. So she walks out? And Mike? The young man said he thinks breaks are at 5pm and Mike says, ” Oh yeah, F*** You” or something like that. In the real world, that stuff wouldn’t fly. You can tell these people are used to being babied and getting their way. I think they are pathetic. They are getting paid for this, right?

HUH? March 26, 2010 at 12:17 am

Where is my post?

christina March 26, 2010 at 12:21 am

Dear Jennifer,

I don’t know if you read the comments section, but I think you are terrific. You have an incredibly difficult job and I can’t imagine what it’s like dealing with these people on a daily basis. (17 years ago i was one of those people-just as self-centered and childish) Compounding all the normal issues one deals with in the beginning stages of recovery, these guys have been given so much too soon and they’re spoiled but they’re in pain just like we were and deserving of help.
Hang in there-I’m rooting for you-don’t let anybody pull you down. You’re an intelligent, attractive woman with a big, big heart and God put you there for a reason.
Best wishes. Christina

Tammi C`` March 26, 2010 at 1:35 am

no kidding, what a difficult job! talk about strength and motivation having to deal with such complicating people! oh man you go girl, ya gotta be a tough cookie to handle that. :)

misswebbie March 26, 2010 at 2:02 am

People may say that an addict deserves another chance, but Kari Ann doesn’t want help, she wants publicity. There is no reason for her to keep coming back and having chance after chance. That makes others think the rules have no meaning. Kari Ann is a spoiled pageant queen that has not realized she is just a another worn out trophy chick. She needs to go to a real rehab and leave all of you alone. Also, I do not believe you think you are above other people, you are just trying to stay sober yourself.

Loretta March 26, 2010 at 2:09 am

jenn is doing a job. thankless helpless job out of luv to keep others sober and safe. give this woman a break.

marz March 26, 2010 at 2:18 am

You seem to be more of a disciplinarian around the house and not really some one that the patients can open up to and talk with about their issues. You seem to be very stand-off-ish with them. I think that what they need more than rules, is have some one who can be sympathetic to what they are going through. Some one with a kind and caring heart who can show some compassion for what they are going through. A listening ear. A realization of the troubles that they go through and face. You seem uneffective in being able to really reach out to any one and make any kind of impact or difference because of the adherence to such a strict set of rules.

Marie March 26, 2010 at 2:19 am

Re Kari Ann,
As much as I dislike Kari Ann’s personality she is an addict and a f***** up one at that. Perhaps a meeting with the group and Drew prior to her showing up on the doorstep might have been a bit more productive? Was she given or taken to another “house” or since she had recently used to a rehab unit? It’s really easy to let out your disgust and anger and intolerance on someone unlikeable but patience and tolerance and understanding prove maturity and is not self-seeking. How would you feel about yourselves if she were found dead tomorrow? It could be any of you.
I am writing as one who has been fighting this battle for the past 40 years.

Loretta March 26, 2010 at 2:23 am

imagine the HUGE EGOS this woman has to deal with…go jenn! u rock! a huge responsibility has been put on this woman to give these artists back to us…

misswebbie March 26, 2010 at 2:27 am

Kari Ann has a multitude of rehabs to choose from, but when she goes to those she does not get the attention of being on a TV show. Kari Ann does not care about being sober right now, and that may change later. She is very manipulative and this show enables her narcissism instead of helping her. Maybe if Kari Ann would at least be humble she might get some support, but instead she is a hateful *+*$!.

Darin, Modesto, California March 26, 2010 at 2:34 am

I wish you all the luck in the house. You have a tough crowd.

Loretta March 26, 2010 at 2:37 am

omg. the egos this woman has to deal with…u dont know me, but i wish u well…specially mike, heidi, tom.

buck March 26, 2010 at 7:10 am

Jenn seems to enjoy the drama and the cameras, which is kinda wearing thin. The shiny collagen lips are scary, which is why Rodman backed down I think. Even he was scared of the lips.

Deb from Maine March 26, 2010 at 9:04 am

I love watching cel. rehab and sober house. What I don’t like watching is the continual breaking of rules’ And getting away with it. I mean come on these celebs knew there were going to be tons of cameras[after all this is a vh1 show] and really have no right to abuse them as they are there doing their jobs.
At some point these people need to take full responsibility for their actions and decide if indeed this is what they want. What message does it send when Kerri Ann keeps misbehaving and yet expects to be let back in to the house,or Dennis and a few others push the limit by being late to return home and refusing to give his cell phone to Jenn! Nobody said this road will be easy but we all know the program doesn’t work if you don’t work the program, Everyday 24/7. I too am a recovering addict[clean 8 years] I had to face reality and stop playing the victim. It’s so easy to place the blame in someone elses backyard. And it’s not just the booze and they drugs addicts need to kick, They also need to reach inside themselves and ask why? What caused me to make bad choices? Answer is almost always to silence our inner demons. Reality bites people. But if you truly want a sober life you can have it and can love it,but 1st you need to confront your demons and decide how to silence them so you can lead a long happy productive life!!!! Good Luck To All Of You! A fan,~~~Deb~~~ from Maine

lava03 March 26, 2010 at 10:16 am

I agree with JenEllen1 about the nutritional supplements that these patients need. Even though this is a program on TV it still seems to me that Jennifer doesn’t really care about the patients and SHE herself wants to just be on TV. I think that the main importance about this show is for the celebrities/addicts to recover from their disease and to become better, but watching the show it seems that alot of it is to make TV to embarass them and to “teach them a lesson.” I think that it goes to a weird realm when it does that.

brinalee March 26, 2010 at 12:41 pm

Dear Jen
Though I know the show is already taped & over I just want to commend you on a hard job done well.
Im not sure what will happen next,but I do see changes.
Even though Dennis can be a hard A**…I see for the first time…a sweetness in him.(something Id NEVER think)I see people trying to start over & LIVE.Not just go through the motions but live.
And though I want to pull for every addict who suffers I just cannot find it in me to think Kerri-Ann deserves any kind of chance.Out here in the real world….She would of NEVER been given that many chances.and Im sorry to say…even though she may “use”I just dont see an addict.I see a messed up young woman who needs MENTAL help not drug addiction help.
Anyways…You inspire with your conviction & strength

Lisa Marie March 26, 2010 at 12:46 pm

I think Jenn does a great job. When you are sober watching these people’s lives spin out of control you feel it. She just wants these people to follow the rules, which come on who has EVER told Dennis Rodman what to do??? Rules and following them are the first step!!!I think it’s great what she does. She takes a lot of _@)&_^+`@#^+`+*& and she isn’t the problem!I love her and when my son was going through his drug problem I wish I would’ve known how to find her!

Isabella C. March 26, 2010 at 1:51 pm

Hi my name is Isabella, my mother Patsy and I watch Sober house every week on VH1. We follow each guest with their daily lives on the show…. Personaly, we believe that House Mother Jennifer uses her authority in the wrong way. She needs to be a little more understanding with the sober house guest and not so negitive towards their emotional problems. It seems she adds to much stress on their behavior and that creates problems. Kary Ann needs to stay on the show and HEIDIE NEEDS TO CALM HER $%(@&%_+%(`&*!* DOWN and act her age. Tom needs to stay as well. Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to share our thoughts.
Sincerely,
Isabella & Patsy

Malcum March 26, 2010 at 2:26 pm

Does anyone know if the rumors about Karri Ann Pierice are true ? She tested postive last month for full blowne AID’s virus it’s all over the net about her?

James March 26, 2010 at 2:44 pm

I am amazed by the amount of abuse you put up with. You are trying to help these people and they are so rude to you. You are a more patient person than I am. I would have kicked Dennis, Tom, and Mike out by now.

Sometimes I think there is no way these people are ever going to stay clean. It seems like they don’t really want to. I mean, going out to a night club on the first night out? You might as well just drink, because that is what is going to happen eventually, guaranteed.

And what is up with Tom Sizemore? The previews of next week were very disturbing, where he is standing over Mike and screaming at him. He is usually so laid back. He seemed like he was possessed or something. Tom – if you are reading this, what’s up, big guy?

wildcatsmith March 26, 2010 at 3:11 pm

Jennifer, hon I think you need to remember how bad it is when detoxing and show more compassion, for the most part i see you want to help, but you a little to hard on someone suffering through, like maybe you forgot the pain and suffering that is so real

Julie March 26, 2010 at 4:02 pm

I have to say I understand why Jen does what she does, but to me it seems as if she is pushing all these people who are still very delicate to a point I also think that she has no control of her own life so she is trying to be in control of her own…DR. DREW find someone new

Monica Tracy March 26, 2010 at 4:11 pm

I honestly wish that I could be there to tell them that they are doing a great job. I want the people in the house to know that some of us fans watch this show and look at them as “real” people. They have a problem, they are trying to deal with it and we are fortunate enough to be able to see them cope. Somethings are good somethings are bad, but it is their decision ultimately that will help them deal with certain demons. I have never been an addict but I love seeing the progress they make. I love to cheer them on from home and I pray that they succeed. These people’s lives are all over the place, and to be able to admit that you have a problem is super huge, and one of the bravest things you can do. I was studying substance abuse once and I was able to go to AA meetings, this for me was an awesome experience. I was able to meet people from various backgrounds, various religions, various nationalities, and from various socioeconomic places. This to me showed that this disease doesnt discriminate. I have personally found the watching of Celebrity rehab, and Sober House to be a way of opening my eyes to this disease. I applaud everyone that participates, because you have showed me that your just a person with a major problem. But I see so much potential in all of those people and I hope that they are all able to be successful in their recovery. For Jennifer- your job is tough, and at times you are seen as the bad guy. But if it wasn’t you a police officer would be happy to take your place and then these people’s hopes would be gone. They have a chance at a life they deserve. We all deserve to live a good life. I pray that we all are able to succeed the best we can!!!! Good luck!!!!

What I Think March 26, 2010 at 4:50 pm

I am so glad that Kari Ann is gone. She is like Jason, she just keeps coming back. I hope this is finally it for her and that she realizes that she needs to change because NOBODY likes her. Tom and Heidi need to cool it. It’s over and they need to leave it alone. I really like the cast, now that Kari Ann is gone

J-ride March 26, 2010 at 6:00 pm

I think its really _)`*_+%(%@&#@!(` y how you all have treated Kari Ann,she is very lonely and scared how life will turn out,she has been screaming out for help,and i agree with
Dennis Rodman, Jennifer does not know what the hell she is doin………………….

Fay March 26, 2010 at 6:13 pm

Im sorry but I do not believe Jennifer is cut out for this job. I truly believe in firm discipline but Jennifer forgets that these are GROWN and FRAGILE people. Taking phones away takes me back to when i was in junior high. The way she talks to them is beyond disrespectful. Now on the other hand i do not condone the acts of the residents in Sober House but being an ex addict herself, Jennifer should understand the issues that come with it. I believe patience is what she lacks. No one wants to be ran over by anyone but cursing at them and stooping to their level when they are going through a very rough and difficult time is not the right thing to do. I must say i am disgusted with Jennifer and do not believe she is cut out for this position. I have never been an addict but if i was one i would not want to be treated like **** when trying to make the right decision and do something for the better of my well being. Give them a little more credit. Kari Ann on the other side I would have kicked her out a long time ago. Trying to recover and being angry and full of tension is expected, but when you blatant do not participate in group or when you are asking people to get juice and stuff, thats when the line is drawn. Kari Ann also proceeded to show body parts to other recovering addicts. This is the only exception i believe when you have to let a person go, clearly she does not want help. Besides Kari Ann, Jennifer is just not right for this job.

starrlite54 March 26, 2010 at 10:41 pm

Personally I think Jenn is acting for the cameras…This is supposed to be a place where people go for help..Jenn doesnt even seem sypathetic or even understanding to the ones who truley need the help. She seems to egg them on and pick a fight all while cracking a condescending smile..as with kari-ann she sat there and smiled while kari-ann was beeing attacked..yet just moments before she said everyone deserves a second chance ..what everyone BUT Kari-ann? What bull @$#$#$
..Jenn says oh I care about you….wile pushing you out the door telling you to get out….ANd yes you should Judge Jenn Its her Job to be partial and for her to be non-judgemental..ANd understanding and compationate…You could have handled things so differently..in both situations..I understand you have to be firm and enforce rules..but seriously she should have stood up for kari-ann just as she did for mike…..favoritism makes for bad feelings all the way around..Kari-ann came back was humiliated and obviously needs help those who need help the most are not going to be easy..I feel like this house ganged up on her because she needs more help..all the more reason to keep her there..Jenn needs to go to some retraining on emotions..what you say and how you act should not be 2 different things…

MelanieThib March 27, 2010 at 11:48 am

Hey there, I think Jenn is doing a great job, with the house.I for one would have had to use just for putting up with their bull****!Yes, they’re going to test you , that’s what addicts are all about, they’re going to push you to the limit,so Good luck with this crew. I look forward to every week to see the show.I use to be an addict , and watching this show reminds me of where I could be if I decided to pick up again.Thank the Lord I’m clean today!!

anna55 March 27, 2010 at 12:47 pm

Everybody acts like they are 12 years old. Dennis and Kari Ann act like spoiled 5 year olds in the checkout line when their mother will not buy them candy. Heidi and Tom
need intense Psychotherapy for their borderline personality disorders.

Liz March 27, 2010 at 12:54 pm

I think Kari Ann’s behavior is ridiculous but she’s sick and needs help. She’s not a lost cause she’s 25 and if she came back then she’s obviously willing to get help. But with her past on this show she won’t be able to get it with Dr. Drew. She needs to get her anger under control. She’s lost as are a lot of addicts. She’s human makes mistakes and her brain doesn’t work the way non-addicts’ do. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think she should be back either, but we’re watching her from a tv, we don’t know her and how her head works. She deserves help like anyone else. I don’t hear anyone +$~#!^~%$_*)~+$*! ing about Seth right now, he’s relapsed what 3-4 times now? And Dr. Drew let him back in! Heidi is the f****** b**** on this show. She has no compassion either. I’d rather Tom stay on the show, I can’t stand watching scenes with her in them. Tom is amazing and the previews of next episode are making me very nervous and wondering if we’ll see him anymore after this?

liars March 27, 2010 at 6:48 pm

Toms arm is tied up with a latex strip at 26:10!! This show is all lies! He WAS getting high! Dr Drew you are an evil liar!!

joseph miller March 27, 2010 at 7:01 pm

Jen deserves alot of credit for dealing with this bunch! I am 6.5 years clean from a severe opiate addiction and your pampered quests may not like what I am about to say.It is one thing to be detoxing and in pain but that gives no one the right to behave the way some of your guests have since the transition from rehab.In rehab all except Cari Ann were desperate for the help and it showed!What Happened since!How soon we(the addict) forget.I would love for just one of these kids to spend just three months in my shoes.They are not special because there famous.They remind me of a saying I have.When things didnt go my way in early recovery I would compare myself to a baby who wants another bottle of milk.The baby crawls to the refrigerator and proceeds to “WAIL” for more while trying to open the door themself.WA WA WA I want more milk NOW!!!For 6.5 years after losing my building business from” MY CHOICE”drugs I have had a choice to make each day I face..With god and the program I chose to take a job in the labor union, pick up a shovel,and do what I had to ,to keep my family and house intact.And get this straight I am Not Special!!I am just doing what I should have all along..Drew needs to set stiffer penalties for thes snottynosed little kids.And kids you all need to Humble yourself and grow the “f” up.

did they really all get along especially heidi an tom???!!!

baillie March 27, 2010 at 11:08 pm

what is with your mole Jen?

it creeps me out

SCGIRL March 28, 2010 at 12:56 am

Jenn, You are AMAZING!!!! You have the strength of armor because you HAVE been there and you know what it takes to help these people. I am so frustrated by the people that post nasty things about you because had you not have been through the same challenges in life, how could you be respected? Ignore the idiot comments and carry on!!! I would love nothing more than to meet you one day and hear your story, ask for advice, gain your power and carry your inspiration forward. Keep going girl!!

SCGIRL March 28, 2010 at 1:08 am

Adicts DO NOT need to be coddled and make excuses for their problems. Tough love, not abuse, keeps everything on track. My “best friend” was a victum of sexual abuse and EVERYTIME she acted out, I made excuses for her violiatal behaviour, her abuse of alcohol, her nasty attitdse, her inablity to carry through with her promises, etc. I had to let her go. She does NOT need me to inable her to continue her behaviour as a friend, not as a functioning adult in life. EXCUSES ARE NON NEGOTIABLE FOR ADICTS. period.

susan1 March 28, 2010 at 2:52 am

Don’t let Kari Ann back into Sober House. She needs intensive therapy; however, she won’t ever get it because she hasn’t hit bottom yet. It’s time to cut her loose. She’s disruptive to the other residents healing, disrespectful to everyone, selfish, self-absorbed, whinny, mean – and I could go on and on. Second Chance? She’s had four or five second chances just on this show and the Sex Addiction Show. I hope to never see her again on any reality show. Yeah…too bad she’s had a tough life. She’s isn’t the only one that’s had hard times. Yet others manage to get through it. Get over yourself Kari Ann. Heidi was right – “nobody wants you there.” They are sick of you.

You can hold their hands and expect them to follow your rules. You have to give them responsibilities and real consequences. When they first walk into the house it should be no phones, no computers, no tech at all. Tell them you will get up at such time and lights out at such time. No wonder these people keep coming back they do not have and structure and no rules. Dr Drew sitting there and saying “you were so good yesterday” yea, big deal. My favorite part is when you let them go out on only the first weekend they are there. Just give them a joint or a needle as they leave why don’t you.

Of all the patients Penny is the one that I think is on her way.When she came back from the club w/dennis and jenn scolded her I saw the remorse on her face. Before the transition to the house she actually started to look different. When I first saw her in the house I didnt recognize her.

I think that Dr.Drew puts KerriAnn on all of his shows because she makes for good TV. Disease does not discriminate nice ppl can have a disease and so can mean nasty ppl. Kerri Ann is a nasty person that happens to have a disease. I give Heidi alot of credit getting sober and focusing on recovery would be difficult if you had to look at someone who abused you every F#$king day. I think it was really inconsiderate of Dr.D to put her in that situation. He may know alot about addiction but apparently knows nothing about the trauma a battered woman feels.

I don’t like Jennifer, she’s too quick to throw one of the cast members out of the house. With that ugly frown on her face all the time, seems like all she does is walk around to try to provoke and find fault in one these cast members. I think she needs to boot her own (+_^&%+^@@(#~!+ out of the house. She’s not a positive leader for the house. Dr. Drew, get rid of the Witch please! She’s fake and doesn’t deserve to be a part of your crew.

Does anyone know how old Jen is?
