"Poor Rhonda" was a neighbor of a close friend of mine at the time that this show aired in the mid-1990s. She was indeed "completely humiliated" by this television appearance, and in fact never recovered from the cheap slapstick assault passing as "entertainment" that she suffered in front of her husband, children, a studio audience of hundred and a television audience of hundreds of thousands. My friend tells me that Rhonda endured a dozen additional indignities in the final months of her life, and became a sort of unwilling neighborhood "stooge" around town--everyone she knew had tuned in to catch her "Family Challenge" appearance and seemed to want to add to her embarrassment. Her own mailman smashed a large bakery cake in her face as a "special delivery" prank; a local grocery store concocted a fake "millionth customer" award, then dumped five gallons of molasses and chocolate over her head; a local PTA chairman smashed a banana cream pie in her face in front of hundreds of parents and school officials during an awards banquet; and on a number of occasions teenagers in her neighborhood pelted her with eggs, shoved her into muddy pits, and on one occasion pulled a pillow case filled to the brim with shaving cream over her head, then shoved her onto a city bus packed with laughing people. Rhonda's own husband--who, as this clip reveals, was and remains to this day a sadistic monster--laughed at and even encouraged these humiliations...then eventually separated from his wife because, as my friend says he told me, he claimed to have "lost all respect for her." Finally, on March 2nd, 1996, unable to be a "good sport" any longer, Rhonda took her own life with an overdose of sleeping pills. Ironically, this happened three months to the day before the suicide of "Family Challenge" host Roy Combs--was he suffering from some degree of guilt over what he'd caused these families to suffer? For those of you who think that plucking a person out of a studio audience and then slathering them with goo is a good laugh, PLEASE remember that these are REAL PEOPLE with REAL FEELINGS!
I remember that show. Gorgeous lady.
Oh dear! Poor Rhonda! Ha ha!
