Agreed x 1,000,000. This is what I was hoping for. I would have been hooked. I might have even watched a little during the day. This show is liking have cameras on in an insane asylum.
Being bored, I went to their website and got a five minute free look at the live cams. It appears to be day 11 in real time, and already one contestant has been sent away. It is in plain view on the website, but I’ll spoiler it anyway.
Dave, the ex-con, has been banished. It also appears that another one of the women is pregnant. The audio was not great, and I couldn’t rewind it to double check, but that’s what it sounded like to me. It is possible that the person was Amanda (the view was from the side and at a fair distance) but it didn’t look or sound like her.
It will take a lot to cause cancellation, as Fox has $50M invested in it and Microsoft is a prime sponsor. It looks like the first real serious attempt at making $$$ on the multi-media aspect of the show, as they are charging $5 a month for the web access. To save you time, none of the cameras on the webstream was trained on the pond, alas.
Well, I only hope someone continues to watch and update up here as things develop. Doesn’t that make two people gone in less than 2 weeks? It’ll be Reality Ghost Town at that rate by the time the new batch of players is due.
Not to mention the one who wasn’t even allowed to go into the compound in the first place and was kicked off before they even started filming, because she tried to smuggle a cell phone in.
Ah that explains it then.
I couldn’t figure out why they would start with eight men and six women as their first 14. It just didn’t make sense.
Why did we wait so long to add alcohol and weapons to reality tv? It’s like a no brainer.
Hey now, you must have missed Big Brother 2. One drunken knife to a throat, and everyone got skittish after that.
Didn’t that happen on that show with Janice Dickerson & Omarosa? It was on E!, I think, but I’m blanking on the name…Fantasy something…Surreal Life!
I’m ashamed to admit that I watched that trainwreck…but didn’t one of them also get drunk on cough syrup? Her name was Krista I think. We used to call her “Krusta” and make fun of the way she kept saying “it’s OWWWWN”.
It’s
[strike up “The Liberty Bell March”]
I think it was Todd Rundgren’s best work.
That’s the reason I opened this thread!
Agreed. She’s batshit nuts and a pain in the ass to boot.
They tricked me into watching tonight’s show. I thought it was America’s Got Talent.
Dave and Red crack me up. Dave in particular strikes me as a freeloader.
Overall, more insanity. I’m still convinced that casting picked people the most likely to blow up. And again, it is too bad. A dozen normal people would be really interesting. Of course what scares is maybe these are 14 normal people. Please don’t let these people be “normal”.
Oops. Miss post. Sorry.
All of them are unlikeable and crazy and stereotypical. And fake. I don’t believe Bella is a real person. No one can be that phony.
Though I didn’t agree with their tactics, I kind of agree with Dave and Red about those food choices. They should have been putting their food money towards shelf-stable staples and not trendy frou-frou stuff. Rice and beans makes more sense than quinoa. However, I suspect that food fight was very contrived. If Bella’s looking for an Academy Award at the end of this, so are Dave and Red.
I don’t like any of the women. I reluctantly kinda-sorta like Libertarian Rob, but I’m sure that won’t last very long.
I think normal people don’t sign up for shows like this anymore. Or maybe they don’t really want normal people and they just go for the crazies.
Ok. This show is fucking horrible. The entire cast sucks and the narrator sucks even worse. Dave the con needs to be segregated before he kills someone.
its like a battle dome but its on a 5 acre spread
I just want to add that I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more unstable reality show cast member than Dave the ExCon. This motherfucker is indigenous.
And the Chicken Tractor chick is insane. Absolutely out of her mind. I get the vibe that Josh the Molester even knows that as he has made alot of faces and body language as she has 180’d from “I don’t feel safe with this sexual predator on the farm with me” to “Oh Josh, you’ll protect me and I love that. Thank you and I want your meat” in less than a few hours. It’s really really bizarre and psycho. I remember dating a girl who was physically attractive who I wanted to bed and I ran the other direction as she got all chicken-tractory with me.
But Dave the ExCon is the biggest problem and should probably be removed from the show by the producers. He clearly has mental issues and seems bipolar to the point that he could go from smiling at you to choking you out and hiding your body in a matter of a minute.
As an aside I wonder if they have something in their contracts that prohibit any of them from straying from the group in any way because not a single person has attempted to venture out and explore any of the surrounding land. They all stay within 100m of center mass it seems. Good thing they brought a couple of bows for not hunting.
