Watching Episode 6 of Lindsay, the entire docu-series for that matter, is painful to watch. Especially for me who has always been a Lindsay fan.
A lot of people have been giving Lindsay flak, based on the things that have been showcased on the show. And as much as we need to remind ourselves that this 40 minute show we are watching, is just a fraction of their life's journey, people can't help but come up with their theories and assumptions about Lindsay and her family.
But there are things that I found good in this episode.
Dina is a loving mother to Lindsay.
People can say that it is just an act for the cameras, but I liked how Dina was being cautious about what and what not to say in front of the camera when she was meeting with her ghost writer. This goes to show that she understands what Lindsay wants shared to the public and what is not.

People still have faith in Lindsay's power to draw people.
Lindsay was given $100,000 for an appearance at the Foxwood casino. I don't know if that is small change for celebrities but I don't think anyone can pick up that amount of money anywhere. Now whether people went there to see her and show support or for the circus, is a different story altogether.

Lindsay, I love you. And I know that I do not know entirely the full story since I was not there but take this as an advice of a concerned loving fan.
Please don't be late.
You can't be late for an appearance. You can't be late for an editorial. You can't be late for anything. Hun, you are trying to rebuild your career and punctuality is where it should all start. And when you said that magazine shoots are editorials and are not paid, this makes you look even bad. It's like you have no respect for them because you're not getting a dime from them. You cannot commit to a gig, paid or not, if you can't give them your 100% service.

I am not sure if Lindsay bit more than she can chew when she signed up for the docu-series, or she has no full understanding what a reality show is supposed to be like, but she can't sign up for something, again, if she cannot commit 100%.
I still have faith in you, Lindsay. I hope everything turns out better.
