I normally enjoy irony, but I find it sad that--for all the good Oprah has brought to the world--her biggest success on OWN could come from this bloated gasbag and her empty rhetoric. I would have called the show Psychobabble, but I have to admit, "Iyanla FML" sounds about right. Wink

I caught an episode of Starting Over years ago and this woman was on it. There was just something about her that rubbed me the wrong way. The other "helpers" as well come to think it.

I actually like Iyanla. I like her new show, but I really like her on the Lifeclass shows. I'm glad it was the highest debut for the network.

Can somebody tell me why Iyanla Van Zant is famous? I never understood why she was famous. She had problems, and she talked about them? I don't find anything about her appealing.
