Dirt on Christine #2
The second Christine to join the house is a pretty woman who lives in rural Wisconsin. She currently sells items on Ebay to support her two children and feels isolated (she is a divorcee). She also feels alientated from her community because many there have taken to calling her 'a slut'. Here's what a neighbor of hers has to say regarding the 'slut' allegation:
I have never heard her called a slut. I'm not sure exactly where that is coming from. She is however pretty universally avoided. She is just not the nicest
person to be around...and makes nor accepts any invitations to become friends
with the women in the community. And lord knows we have tried. Yeah, I know a few things, but I'm not going to just go on a typing spree and bash Christine. Oh and BTW, 'lived' is not the correct tense. She still 'lives' right where she did before the show. And I haven't seen any forsale signs out either. ;o)
No one really socializes with her much, we usually just run into her during the summer months at the park for volleyball leagues. And she hasn't even called my husband since I requested that she
call our HOME instead of his cell phone all the time if she needed
his help. LOL ;o(of course that request made me one the the jealous ones..Hahaha)
The same neighbor also says:
If you all remember, when Christine went home with Rhonda to visit her home, the pump was broken in her well. If you watched closely, you saw a tractor in her front yard (my husband's which was there to pull the pump in an attempt to get it fixed for her. Well to make a longer story short, the pump needed replacing and could not be fixed. As Christine was leaving for Chicago within a few days and she could not afford to get it fixed, she managed to get another man, who happens to be in partnership with my husband to commit to bringing water to her home every day for her kids. Yes, that is right, you read that correctly, she left her 17 y/o and 9 y/o kids home alone. With no water, and by mid November, no heat. (she has radiant heat) Though her son did spend the weekends with his dad. Honest to pete, if I had known this before I did actually hear it, I think I would have called CPS!
Anyway, that's not the point of this post....she told the man that was hauling the water that her real reason for going to the SO house to to try to further her modeling career. She told him that it was 'hush, hush," and he was not to tell anyone else because the producers did not want that kind of cast member for the show, so she had to come up with another reason. Now after seeing that Hannah had the auctioneer goal suggested to her by the production company, I can not say if Christine was given the goal of shop owner or if she came up with it herself, I just know that it was not HER goal.
So take it for what it's worth. I heard it from a second, though trustworthy source(though I will say he was angry at her and feeling manipulated into taking care of her kids) but it's still gossip no matter how you dress it up I guess. :O)
