[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No tears when she breaks down, and an oddly complete recovery from her breakdown - within minutes, going back into the house to collect her purse, all the while smirking and speaking calmly - on Monday's episode. Also, in the previous episode when they met with their "therapist," if there'd been physical abuse, wouldn't that rather serious issue have come up in the discussion? And isn't physical abuse something that requires reporting?

I don't believe Taylor's upset about anything other than her financial situation. She seems very jealous and resentful of her costars' better financial circumstances.[/quote]

Well.. that therapy session was totally for the cameras. You can't really expect them to go into physical abuse issues on film. I mean, apparently Taylor had been talking to all the women about it and those conversations never made it on film (except when Camille finally snapped at Lisa's tea party).

And to be honest I found them (at the therapy session) quite obviously talking around the issue. I thought that segment was very awkward and sad. And I'm not positive but I don't think a therapist has any requirement to report physical abuse of an adult patient to the police. But I could be wrong.

Taylor really does, in my opinion, personify a victim of abuse of some kind. Her absolute desperation to be liked (you can really see the moment when Lisa finally gets it and just gives in in order to get Taylor to stop being so pathetic), her willingness to take on guilt even when she's trying to get an apology (when Lisa apologizes and Taylor immediately says, "It's my fault too"). It doesn't surprise me that Taylor and Russell look totally normal when on camera together. It's all part of Taylor's fairy tale... small town girl gets rich and lands the "perfect" life.

This is by far one of the saddest seasons of any iteration - between the abuse, the suicide, Kim's addiction... a great reminder that being rich really doesn't make one automatically happy.[/quote]
