I watched the last half the first I had seen of the show. I am looking forward to Richard Bransons new show. Cuban seems like a cool guy.

I like the final test the best. It's a bit sneaky but a much better test of the contestants' character than some of other tests (ie. Jenga).

Best part was the Boston girl getting proven to be a liar.

I always thought that Boston girl was a bit of a bitch. Wasn't she the one who was upset that the hot girl and Famia went to homeless people in Dallas, because they didn't "understand" people in the ghetto.

I also didn't like how Linda told Mark that if she win the money, she would use it to help her mom. Then when they visit her home town, we see that her mom is living in a dumpy apartment while she is living in a nice place. Then after she got eliminated, she still didn't learn her lesson and said that she should've borrowed one of her friends' place and pretend it to be her own. :P

I concure. I didn't like her through out the show, and that just made it worse. =/

We are not realy sure if it is her house or her boyfriend's house.

What if it is the boyfriend's house, tv's, etc... could Mark expect him to sell those for his girlfriend's mother?

It would be the nice thing to do.. but it's not his mother.

I wish they didn't cut 2 episodes from this show. It would have been nice to see where the other 2 people lived.

If I was living large like that and I had the choice of a new 40' plasma TV or a leg for my girlfriends mom.... Well, I like TV but a new leg for her mom buys a lot of 'thank you' sex.

Yeah, I was really annoyed by this. I'm glad we got to see Linda get served, but I didn't like that he wrapped up the other two visits with one throwaway line without showing any footage (except the bit with Dom over the end credits). Would it have hurt them to throw in just a little of that in a two minute condensed version? They could have easily cut two minutes of celebratory crap with the family from the end.

Could someone please give me a recap of the episode. For some reason it was shown at 2:05am here. They played an episode of Matlock in it's place.
