Chelsea Settles

On Chelsea Settles latest episode, we watched as she worked her first day at the Vanity Shop. I'm not sure if it is part of what MTV wants her to say about certain things or if it is truly her, but her constant talking about how hard it is to have someone "her boss" look over her shoulders all day was a little frustrating for me.

Of course the boss/owner is going to be watching, judging and evaluating your performance in any job you get. It just seem to be over done to my liking.

I always cheer her on and want to explain to her that that is the way life is but it is an MTV show and there has to be some moments that are not going to feel real in my opinion.

Her boss Laura, seem genuinely interested in seeing her succeed. Chelsea told her cousin that she was the hardest boss to work for she's ever had but Laura is not cussing her out or berating her. She is training her, I think, quite well and is being kind if not a bit hurried. She wants her to simply pick up the pace and break out of her shell which is exactly what Chelsea said she wanted to do when she moved.

Speaking of training and fast pace, Chelsea also met her new personal trainer in this episode. Angela meets with Chelsea after giving her card on the beach. She and Chelsea talk about Chelsea's goals for herself, not just weight loss but for life as well.

A wonderful thing Angela does is have Chelsea write a statement to herself. A great idea.

We watch Angela "beat" Chelsea up with a work out that tests her limits physically. She explains it to Chelsea that we need to see where your breaking point is in order to reach your goals. After a lot of tears from Chelsea and lecturing by Angela they finally sit down to have Chelsea read her letter to herself.

It was full of hope and love for herself and it was a wonderful thing to see what Chelsea truly wants for herself. I even thought I saw tough as nails Angela get teary.

All in all, the show is growing at a good pace. Chelsea is finally beginning to find her place in L.A. and taking control of her weight.

But as in any fairy tale story there must be something or someone that threatens to take all the good away. Next week Chelsea's less than supportive boyfriend shows up. Whether this kid is truly a villain or simply a product of the MTV creative writing remains to be seen. We find out more next week.
