I know its wrong but I can’t help it. This is tv at its absolutely worst: yet I still found myself glued to the tv when it came on tonight. AS I’m sure I will everynight it comes on…
<ewe I feel soo dirty>
Anyone else goin’ sluming with me? Come on you can admit it.
and I hope Genevieve gets what’s coming to her–what a bitch. Actually, they were all kind of bitchy. As for Andy and Shannon, I give the marriage 2 years, max.
If loving trash TV is wrong, I don’t wanna be right!!!
I am with you too! I keep saying how bad it is, and I am horrified by everybody’s stupidness but I still watch!
You got to find a friend to watch with you, it becomes three times better when you can complain about how dumb it is to somebody live!
This long haired brunette will burn in hell. Can’t stand her. Her boyfriend is a poor wimp, I hope he cheats on her big time!
I have trouble just telling all the contestants apart. Whenever they show a couple on an arranged date, I find myself asking, “Okay, so which one is the one in the committed relationship, and which one is the single guy/gal again?”
I also have to be content with the knowledge that I could never, ever get on a show like that. These aren’t just average couples they’re trying to break apart, these are paired-up studs and babes in their prime. Total eye candy. Especially with all those bikinis.
Although it DOES remind me a little of my Glory Days as a graduate student, when I was actually in a state of having a girlfriend more of the time than I was between girlfriends ( :eek: ). 'Cause there was this one time when I was tempted to stray. Of course, since I left grad school, “straying” hasn’t been an issue. I haven’t been able to hold on to any one woman long enough for it to come up. Hell, I haven’t had so much as a date since March 20th, 1999. Not that I’m bitter. :mad:
I don’t get it. Someone says two sentences, "hi, Im jebb, im from alaska. I love to read lips’ then the people can decide just from that if they like them or not? & if they would trust their boyfriend/girlfriend with them? Can I buy some depth?
I don’t actually watch the show regularly, just now and then. But I think it would be a much better show, if they had couples that weren’t attractive. I mean it’s one thing to temp some great looking guy with shallow women, he probably has the oportunity more often. But temp a homly looking guy with some hot chick? Now that would be intersting, especially if he was in a more seriouse relationship, with more to lose. Having to balance being with a really hot chick for a night, or your partner for life…hmmmm…decisions decisions.
I am a complete addict. My favorite part of the first episode this round had to have been when all the singles cam out in those robes! I can just see the director “So much as one giggle out of you and you’ll be the first one off the island!”
Has anyone else noticed that this season’s Shannon looks just like last season’s Shannon?
Twiddle
I noticed the same thing. Close enough to be sisters. Has anyone else noticed the single who is the splitting image of Jason Biggs (only much cuter)?
I just watched the latest episode, and I was shocked – shocked, do you hear – to discover that the men got a lap-dance party with all the single women. Why didn’t the women get a lap-dance party with all the single men? Huh? It’s discrimination, that’s what it is!
Genevieve is a psycho skank and I hope Tony or whatever his name is wises up. Do you think she tries to bail out on the whole thing since she’s apparently bored with it?
I think she proposes.
I really hope Nikkole wises up and dumps her jerk. I really don’t like him. Everytime Catherine is on camera I keep thinking, “ooh Bad boob job.”
Still I LOVE it, I watch it every week.
[preachy mode]
The notion of a primetime television show dedicated to the subversion of monogamous relationships goes beyond revolting. That being purposefully enticed into betraying one that you are supposed to love represents a form of public entertainment is a searing indictment of modern morality (or the lack thereof). You would have to strap me down and mechanically peel back my eyelids (ala A Clockwork Orange) before I would watch a millisecond of such utter horse hockey.
I’m curious if any of you feel a twinge of conscience while you participate in the glamorizing of such deceit?
[/preachy mode]
Hummmmm. . . . let me think. . . . nope!
Now that we have that out of the way.
I can’t wait until next week when all hell breaks loose!!! Weeee Haaaa!
Also, does anyone know when this was filmed? There is a NYC firefighter as one of the male tempters. I was just wondering. . .
De gustibus non est disputandum.
And did you see that hidden-camera footage of that blond chick successfully seducing Edmundo?
Man, I wish stuff like that would happen to me!
I don’t actually watch it because I just find it boring, but I’m curious; what’s deceitful about the show? If the contestants weren’t interested in banging other people, they wouldn’t go on the show. The fact that they’re there would suggest to me that they’re mutually disinterested in monogamy to start with.
I wouldn’t say the couples were so much disinterested in monogamy to begin with, as that they wanted to be sure they were hooked up with the “right” one.
But, hey, did you see how what’s-her-face was just gushing over that New York City firefighter? Whoo! I have a feeling her boyfriend is gonna end up on the receiving end of El Dumpo before this series is over.
I suffered through the first series – only because I run a reality TV website and had promised I would so recaps and commentary of the show. But… ick!
Luckily, this time I found a different sucker – er, person – to do the recaps instead. He’s been having a lot of fun with them, not because he likes the show or the people, but because they are so easy to make fun of!
