Joe Schmo II to debut on Spike TV on June 15th

'Joe Schmo' Meets 'Jane Schmo' in June
(Monday, April 12 08:31 AM)
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Spike TV has wrapped photography on the second season of its popular reality entry "The Joe Schmo Show." Creatively (and hopefully tentatively) titled "Joe Schmo 2," the series will premiere on Tuesday, June 15. Fortunately, there will be a twist.
This time, in addition to a Joe Schmo, there will also be a Jane Schmo. Raising the improv ante, the team of actors will surround not one, but two real people -- a man and a woman -- who think they're part of a reality television show.
The new show-within-the-show is called "Last Chance For Love" and will parody relationship shows like "For Love or Money" or "The Bachelor." The absurd competitions, shocking twists and over-the-top eviction ceremonies will be overseen by Ralph Garman, the host of the first "Joe Schmo." This time he'll be in disguise playing pompous British host Derek Newcastle.
"We know that guys despise reality relationship shows, so what better genre to mess with on behalf of guys everywhere," says Kevin Kay, executive vice president of programming and production, Spike TV.
"Joe Schmo" writer-creators Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese return for the second go-round, joined by David G. Stanley, Scott A. Stone and Anthony Ross.
The October finale of the first "Joe Schmo" drew 3.4 million viewers, mammoth numbers by Spike TV standards.
It was suggested that we start a new announcement thread, so that everyone knows it's not a rehash of the original series from here http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...58#post4760958

Alright first episode. Like Ernie, the heir, but the rest of the characters seem pretty forgettable. Better 'players' last year. Can't believe that Ingrid already is on to the show, or almost.

I loved it. I thought Rita might go since they started the show talking about only giving bread crumbs and she seemed to go pretty over the top in the beginning.

Too funny. The bit about the "pearl necklaces" had me rolling. Some very funny stuff.
I recognized "Elenore" from "Trigger Happy TV." She's very funny, and used to this sort of thing.

I know it is early, but so far I don't feel the 'magic' of last year. But of course Joe Schmo I was special and probably won't be duplicated. Time will tell how good JS2 is.
I don't like Derek Newcastle as much as Ralph, the Smarmy Host. He doesn't seem to have a distinctive personality, yet! But it is only the first episode.

Overall I think the 1st ep might have been a little too busy with so many people to give screen time.
Rita was a riot so it was a shame for her to go so quick (but logical).
Ingrid is on to them already so it'll be interesting to see how they'll keep her off track.
Bryce is so creepy, his character will keep everybody on edge.

No one's said this yet? 
....Ingrid gives me teh hots 
I enjoyed the first episode. It should be interesting to see how they try to keep Ingrid from suspecting the show is fake.

Gerald is played by a local comic actor, Jonathan Torrens, who had his own show on the CBC (Jonovision) for a number of years and has been a cast member of Trailer Park Boys for the past 4 seasons.
Nice to see him stepping up - he's usually pretty funny.
ps.
Dear Ingrid,
Please wear that same shirt, or a similar low-cut shirt, every time you have your little heart-to-heart with the camera.
Thank you.

Ingrid gave me the hot, too. Especially the contrast between the seeming innocent (at least for this day and age) vibe she gave off and her swimsuit/dance. Here's hoping for a Playboy (or at least Maxim) shoot after this.

ingrid is HOT. so is that other blond...the dumb one. ("Here's hoping for a Playboy (or at least Maxim) shoot after this" - COUNT ON IT...i can guarantee maxim will give her a call)
i loved season 1 and the premiere was great. im shocked neither knows that the host is the same and the place where they eliminate people looks EXACTLY the same as season 1.
but did anyone else get annoyed every time they would say "and be prepared for the MOST dramatic elimination ceremony YET!!" - its the FIRST SHOW! its the FIRST elimination ceremony! its the ONLY elimination ceremony!

I enjoyed this, I loved the first so was a little skeptical of how funny this would be.
Yes, Ingrid is very cute. Also, I love the chick from Trigger Happy TV ("Eleanor") . She is hilarious on that show.
