Last night they had a girl from St. George that grew up in a family of eleven kids. They never said they were LDS but it was fairly obvious. The girl was downing a gallon of wine, a half bottle of vodka and taking various pills every day. The transformation after a couple of months in rehab was pretty amazing.

She probably went to Snow Canyon High.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock -
They ran a clip of her brother playing HS football and I think it was Snow Canyon. The father was a chiropractor. I know St. George is pretty good size but I wondered if you knew the family.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostComment

If they've been around for longer than 10 years, I probably know the family. I've been gone from St. Double G for 10 of the last 11 years (went on my mission, came back for a year at Dixie, then left again) so there are definitely a lot of people there I don't know. The small-town, everybody-knows-everybody vibe has certainly diminished substantially in that period, but it's not a huge town, so there's still a decent chance I know her family. I didn't see the episode, so I can't really say.Originally posted by RC Vikings View Post
As for Snow Canyon chicks, they party and put out. 'Nuff said.

I have seen 4 episodes of that show with people from Utah. I knew this girl, but never knew about any of this. I first met her about 6 months before the show was taped.

I saw this one a while back. Intervention's a great show. They've had LDS people on quite a bit. I almost wonder if they have an anti-LDS axe to grind. There was a very interesting piece on a gay former BYU student who would would get high every day and have sex with up to 20 guys a day.Originally posted by RC Vikings View PostComment

I haven't watched very many episodes but I saw the Jill episode. I wanted to beat the kid who made the sex tape and distributed it around the school. What a terrible thing to do to a high school girl.Originally posted by Surfah View PostPart of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”Comment

It's a hard show for me to watch.Comment

Absolutely made me sick too. And my feelings are similar to yours. I thought it was pretty accurate as she described it as being raped each time that video was shown. And the slap on the hand given to the boy was ridiculous.Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View Post"Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

Isn't there some drug rehab program down ST. George way?
When I had just returned from my mission, my younger sister, then a Sr in a HS, had become friends with a girl that had been sent up to ST. George for a spell while in HS in order to detox. I believe it was part of a formal detox program, not just one of those "let's send the kid off to grandma's farm for the summer" sort of things.
Her name was Tezra. When my sister introduced us, I told her she had a pretty unique name and that it reminded me of "Ezra." She then freaked out and scolded me because she grew tired of everyone in ST. George calling her "Tezra Taft Benson."Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I think I knew both of them. Your younger sister was definitely better than Tezra.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post
As for drug detox, for some reason St. Double G is a haven for those places. I think there are 3 or 4 of them. Half my parents' ward is employed by one of the places, it seems.

I lost a brother to drugs. That show hits way close to home. From my vantage point the church and lds community needs to do a lot better with drug addicts/addictionComment

I ran lead on a intervention last year for someone very close to me,,,most of you know who I'm talking about, and I can't bring myself to watch the show after going through the process of running one myself.Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View PostComment
