Tuesday's Show: "Help Me Tyra"

Will the truth set them free?

We'll meet an 11-year-old girl who wrote to Tyra desperately asking for help. Tyra will help confront her mother about parenting. Then, more truth comes out when we meet a handful of guests who, for the first time, will reveal hidden secrets to their mates! One lady is ready to tell her fiancé about her secret second career as a topless masseur. Also, one guest is here to find out the truth: Is his girlfriend cheating on him... with another woman? Lastly, the ex-wife of the DC sniper speaks out for the first time.

What Qualifies As An Addiction or Obsession?

Psychotherapist, Dr. Garry Corgiat, is an expert on addiction and offers this insight into addiction and obsessive bahavior.

1. Remember all addictions don't start out as an addiction, they start out as behavior that makes us feel good, or takes away our focus on what makes us feel bad. It is an action that relieves our pain and anxiety, or distracts us from something else in our lives, like low self esteem, a bad relationship, or a bad job. An addiction is a behavioral disease that grows stronger over time.

2. There is a crossover point when we can't stop the behavior anymore, even if we want to, wish we could, or think we should. What we once could control, now has control of us. We start to accommodate to it by lying, and keeping secrets to support continuing it. We lie to ourselves by rationalizing or denying, and we hide our behavior from others because we know down deep inside that there is something wrong with it. Still we can't stop thinking about it, or doing it.

We're taking beauty to the streets!

Tyra is sending out a team of very opinionated guests in search of candidates for a major makeover overhaul. We'll have the guests bring the candidates back to the studio... and find out what it was like being ambushed by a total stranger! Then we'll send them off to be transformed! Later, we're talking all things curly when we meet blogger Curly Nikki and find a new way to get the wavy look.

Al B: Defining 'Defeat'

Losing sucks.

As someone who has competed, coached and rooted for teams, I can tell you it's a pretty bad feeling. But defeat doesn't just occur in sports; we can suffer it in regular, everyday life as well - as we all know firsthand.

There is no way to get through life without defeats, setbacks and pitfalls... in fact, those "losing" moments actually make us better and help us to enjoy our victories that much more. The idea that whatever doesn't kill us makes stronger, and that our greatest accomplishments come out of our most bitter defeats -- it's nothing new.

But after talking a friend through a family issue, I realize that sometimes we hurt ourselves in how we define defeat.

Taking Down the Stereotype

It's a stereotype stand-off!

Tyra's doing a social experiment to find out what folks think of each other -- just from one quick look. We'll set up a group of "judgers" and have them tell us what they think of people just from seeing their picture. Then they'll come face-to-face with the people they made their snap-judgments about. Finally, guests confront their family members for perpetuating certain stereotypes.
