Time outs - a mother/caregivers best friend. A tool I use often with my kids when I know shouting, explaining , etc. will be of no use. As a mother of two boys, I use time out quite a lot.
But then are days when nothing really works with them. I keep shouting and I give timeouts and I still find myself stressed and angry. Over time I have realized that these times the problem is not them, but it is me. There are times when I stressed, busy, sleep-deprived or just not feeling well. This is when I find myself snapping way too often for the smallest of the things. Sometimes even simple logic goes out the door!!!

This is when I take time outs for myself. I go for a walk by myself, watch mindless TV, sit alone in a locked room, whatever. Just away from all people and everything that could make me angry.

So yes, in conclusion, I think Rochelle seems to be in need of a major Time Out!!!😉

We have crossed the half way mark. Tasks are getting harder. Friendships and alliances are changing daily and rapidly. They have been getting a lot more feedback in the last 2-3 weeks. Plus Rochelle has had the added worry about her BF who left all of sudden (and thank God he is back😃).

I think the stress of all this has gotten to this Lady...big time. I know she has always been a bit of a loud mouth and did lose her temper once in a while and lets not forget the butting into every conversation bit. But the Rochelle I am seeing since the last week or so, is not the Rochelle we have seen since the beginning.

Her behavior these days is exaggerated and over the top. It could be over confidence but my experience says that it is stress. And the worse thing is she is spoiling her image and her game due to this. She has shown a lot of growth since the show started but now she is rapidly going downhill. I really hope, for her own good, she takes some time off, alone and assess her own behavior. Hopefully, her conversation with Keith today may help.

She has proven her mettle and deserves to be in top 5 and I would hate to see her leave sooner. But at this rate, she might just leave in the next 3 weeks or so.

Would love to hear your views. At the sametime, I would appreciate if this could be a healthy discussion topic and not a bashing thread.

By that logic, everybody in the house needs a time out.

Why only Rochelle?

I think TM is only focussing on Rochelle in the post.
Talking about her weird behavior.

Because at this point of time she is the only one who is showing signs of extreme stress, while the others are not showing signs of nearing a breakdown. I have not seen the others throwing tantrums on a daily basis like her. Also, each person copes with stress differently.

Yes. Thanks. Her behavior has been weird and as per the latest spoiler looks like she had gone and snapped at Keith too. Thats a definite sign of someone who is losing control over herself.

yes. But everyone is coping with their stress a lot better than her. The Time out is meant for her to cool down and cope with the stress. Others are atleast able to talk like mature, sane people.

absolutely.. pretty much sabko aarama mila hai with the xption of prince and rochelle.

rochelle is gone head to head in very difficult tasks (while others have taken easy), keith gone for so long, no support, target of all HMs, every week nominated... she is a genuine person and behaving real in given circumstances. alll this while some are chosing to not do tasks or leave midway.. and no individual punishment for them... for the whole house. everyone deals with this kind of stress differently. who knows what keith has told her... with all the positives, there is a lot of hatred also for her on the social media.. esp.. from some other HMs fans.

she is a strong player. she will come around. definitely needed for the game and deserves a spot in finals.

love what you said in BOLD

Excellent post. Couldn't have said it any better.
Her points have always been correct in the past..but she often did get rude while putting them across.

But this past week she has been extremely OTT, rude and aggressive, even abusive at a point...unreasonable at times...which is going against her and will send all her efforts of the past down the drain. She needs to check that behavior ASAP.

That's not even a valid reason.
If she is stressed then she should not take active participation in few tasks and who asked her to sit in car for 36 hours and hold rope for full night? At the end she got nothing, failed in both tasks, giving 100% doesn't mean sit in car or stand holding rope like a maniac, she should think about herself and quit it at one point of time.

And no one would tolerate her gaalis just becoz she is stressed and need time out , she should deal with it or pack bags and get out.

Those who are there from day 1 are equally stressed but they haven't lost their mental balance and they know that they can't pick up any random person and start abusing like Rochelle.

And if she is really tired then she should deal with only her matters but she is going poking her nose in every mess and specially defending Mandana for every misdeeds like a defence lawyer.
