am i the only one that felt REALLY sorry for Adam?


Out of all the people in the group, I have to say his eating disorder was the worst. When you lose your job because of your eating disorder and have RUINED your whole life, that's as bad as it can get. Yeah, health problems are bad, but you can bounce back from those. When you've sunk your entire career and have no choice of ever recovering in your chosen field again all because you couldn't control your bulimia, that makes you pretty bad off. Health problems were the least of Adam's worries.

I guess it was also weird for me because this was the first time I'd ever seen a guy with such a severe case of bulimia. I always wondered during the show what was his issues behind his eating disorder. Was it vanity motivated or something more? what started it? how did it progress to where he was on the show? I wish to all hope that the show had continued long enough for these questions to have been answered. Adam was my fave character (probably because I suffer from bulimia as well).

I'm here to kick ass and chew gum and I'm all out of gum!

Yeah, I can see why we should feel sorry for Adam.

Such an interesting show! Too bad it went off the air. :(
