No. I googled but only found that she plead not guilty. Then I saw this: http://screen.answers.com/television/10-real-housewives-who-apos-ve-had-run-ins-with-the-law

Seems Dana's father didn't die from his gunshot wounds - he lived for at least 5 more years and is quoted in an article about Florida's controversial Stand Your Ground law. http://www.infowars.com/articles/us/fl_new_law_legal_shoot_first.htm

What reality show participants some times do, is become boring. Lisa Wu on RHoATL and Dina Manzo on RHoNJ used that tactic to prematurely end their contracts.

i'd like to bring in Karent from MIA. Her rapid fire talking and smiling would make Heather's head explode.

Ask Andy. I think DC was the most racially diverse cast.

I'd rather the relationships be more organic. When people start getting introduced that aren't part of the casts' circles, it feels forced. See Alex & Simon. I personally don't want any more of that.

What we get shown might be tailored to address any perceived issues. However, I don't believe it causes many reality participants to change their actual behavior. So I wouldn't get overly excited by what is posted in here expecting it to create some sort of real change. Fans of RHoBH actually started a change.org petition about a cast member. Didn't do squat other than perhaps make them feel good.

Looks older.

Maybe none that want to be associated with Aviva and Ramona.

Cody (nee Dana) isn't what they've told us. Not shocking. In order to not derail this thread since it's episode specific, I've posted details in the George thread. I'm right there with you rb. Of course they can. But if they are going for people who know each other, that might limit it. Though I think what limits it most, is what respectable person would join unless they are promoting something?

How old is dirt? On the show they told us Dana's mom died from leukemia. They didn't tell us that her father was gunned down in front of the family at their home. http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=MH&p_theme=mh&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&s_dispstring=Edmond%20cody%20derrick%20AND%20date%28all%29&p_field_advanced-0=&p_text_advanced-0=%28Edmond%20cody%20derrick%29&xcal_numdocs=20&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&xcal_useweights=no

While I'm dishing: Being a 'sugar baby' in Miami isn't a new thing. Seems Miami is # 1 for college students who moonlight as sugar babies. Dana graduated from Florida International University with a Bachelor of Science (BS), Business Administration and Management, General (2007 – 2011) according to her LinkedIn. Unfortunately for us, Dana deleted her Sugar Baby profile. I find it interesting that she uses her nail salon as her name in dating sites. Maybe it's all about self promotion? No publicity is bad publicity? http://www.sugardaddyforme.com/ALLprofile-1699762-TippietoeDiva-Miami-Florida-SugarBaby If anyone can access a cached version, I'd love to see it. Supposedly, she listed 65 as her age limit. Hahaha.

Normally, I am all 'no one left behind'. However, Sonja wasn't alone. She was mic'd. The other howives texted and called her (Kristen says Sonja isn't answering my call) and they walked around looking for her. Sonja let everyone know that this was her 'hood. And Sonja ditched them. Who knows how long they searched for her before production told them to head back to the house to continue filming. I'd expect they got assurances that someone would keep looking and help her back. I think Sonja was mad that she didn't win money and that they continued to party without her. She's a sloppy drunk. @Grneyedldy - It was the start of the Summer season in the Hamptons 2010.

More on Dana/Cody: http://www.oxygen.com/shows/find-me-my-man/blog/heres-what-happened-find-me-my-man-premiere Dana was hoping to get a spin-off about a manicurist with germaphobia. Wonder if she purrells herself head to toe after being near George (I refuse to believe she's "with" George sexually)? According to those who watched the gold digger show, Dana admits to being in a 4 year relationship with an older dude who died. She may not get as lucky with George. Just as Sonja, the old dudes sometimes don't die!

Will do @BizBuzz

Thanks! Though I wouldn't be surprised if it were me :) eta: It did it again. I did notice that when I hit quick reply, it opened up the editor anyway and then asked me to post.

Just had to same - flove your username @CousinOliver!

@CousinAmy - is your name a nod to the Duggar show? I don't think there's much power in our posts. I doubt (though I could be wrong) that many reality show participants are reading forums/twitter to learn how they should be approaching a serious issue. I do think some of them read posts/tweets etc and perhaps address those points. I don't see Bill & Jen reading this forum or any other one and changing the way they feed their children or how many times a week therapy is needed. I would think the occasional snack is figured into the pricing. I know when I've done the apple picking, I've made sure to point out how many were eaten along the way. Every time, the person weighing our pick would smile and say "that's OK". eta: posting issues. no idea how it duplicated within a post since I'm not copying and pasting.

It happened after Sonja's first season, but not during a filming event.

Cody's real name is Dana Cody and she's 29. She appeared on an Oxygen reality show "Find Me My Man" about singles in Miami. She played herself, Dana a nail technician who is a germaphobe. Well, if she's really a germaphobe, she should steer clear of George. Find Me My Man Episode Description: (The Rude Girl and the Crude Girl) Dana is smart, successful, and sexy, but her self-proclaimed "bitchiness" sends men running for the hills. Mercedes is a grad student with an unusual interest in the male anatomy. http://www.oxygen.com/shows/find-me-my-man/videos/find-me-my-man-bonus-101-danas-date-disaster It's on Amazon if you want to pluck down a couple of dollars: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CAK97L6/ref=atv_feed_catalog?tag=imdb-amazonvideo-20

Sonja was mic'd. Production was there. And I'm sure it's not the first time Sonja went off.

Not all kids are the same. As a teacher, you know that. I did 5 years with 2nd graders. I can attest to that. What works on one doesn't work on another, even if they are brothers. As for sharing, yea, Will didn't pass the cup over but he wasn't asked to. He also didn't throw a hissy fit when Jen took some for Zoey. One of my nieces would almost burst a blood vessel when her mom would take 3-4 fries off her plate for her younger sister. So while Will could do better, he certainly could be doing worse. He did exactly what was requested of him. Hard to place blame on him there. That's an error a lot of parents make. Bill addressed it in a TH saying he knows he needs to discipline Will and can't always be his BFF.

Cody is 29. And here's a clip of her on the Oxygen show: http://www.oxygen.com/shows/find-me-my-man/videos/find-me-my-man-bonus-101-danas-date-disaster From IMDB: Find Me My Man Full Episode (The Rude Girl and the Crude Girl) Description: Dana is smart, successful, and sexy, but her self-proclaimed "bitchiness" sends men running for the hills. Mercedes is a grad student with an unusual interest in the male anatomy.

Seems George's fiance starred in a reality show on Oxygen about becoming a gold digger (like V. Stiviano). She played herself, Dana a nail technician who is a germaphobe. Well if she's really a germaphobe, she should steer clear of George.
