When the guy played his guitar and sang a Spanish song, I KNOW all three of them left wet spots on their chairs. Remember the Porky Pig cartoon where he hired a Bing Crosby-rooster and a Frank Sinatra-rooster to croon to his chickens in order to increase their egg output? The female chickens were swooning just like these three [CENSORED].

Obviously the blond was tipped off about that one guy's adoration of his sword. She practically attacked him to touch it, just to be a bitch. I didn't know if he was going to cry, or punch her in the face.

Honk!

Another vote coming in for those broads being bitches. If I got down the blonde chicks pants - I'd have to hurry and put something in her mouth to shut her up.

I wouldn't even have the other chick. She's fugly.

I saw this the other night after Big Brother 4.

It immediately occurred to me that Lisa is no price. Her best friends are nasty-assed bitches. If you do eventually hook up with her, you're presumably going to have to deal with those two shrews as well.

I did notice a bit of irony, though, in that these two friends are trying to help their friend find a mate, but these are EXACTLY the kinds of women who would go out of their way to sabotage their friend's relationship. I've known more women like this I care to.

One thing I wished would've happened is that the guy with the stick or sword or whatever would've punched Laura in the face. Now that would've been funny.

I'm sorry, but this show is revolting. At least American Idol was based around people's singing abilities being ripped on, but this thing is just based around catty ad-hominem attacks.

Simon Cowell, your fifteen minutes are up. Please pack up your T-shirts and **** back off to England or wherever. You're boring.

Simon has re-upped with American Idol for another 3 years, at just over $150,000 per episode (around $10 million for the 3 years).

I think this show is a lot of fun. I think men should watch it as away to learn how not to hit on women and see what works. You don't have to be a male model, but if you're sweet and sincere and funny that's all we ask for.

As a woman, I can relate to how some of these guys act. It is interesting that many of the least attractive guys also have the worst attitudes, too.

I watched it by accident and found myself laughing out loud quite a bit. It was pretty funny when they tore into the losers in spite of how pathetic it is.

When the guy backed in dancing around and slapping his butt I was in tears from laughing.

I also don't get the skater dude being picked. I think they just felt sorry for him.

I'll probably keep watching now that I've started.

Is this a rerun tonight? I haven't seen any of it, but in my online TV listings, it says that this is a rerun. Odd that a reality show would be repeated, but it wouldn't totally shock me. Does anyone know?

I believe it is a rerun tonite. The new ones are on Wednesday after BB4, and they did repeat the premiere episode last week.

Personally, I find the show pretty funny. Sure, the girls are a bit bitchy. But the purpose of the show is to find a mate. Why not be bitchy when all those losers come through and can't take no for an answer. I think the humor is seeing what some guys will do to meet a pretty girl, get on TV, and win a million bucks. The show actually turns the tables, lets the girls have the final word, and in the process shows how clueless so many men are.

Sorry to dig this thread up. My wife & I have been watching this show and wish we had an hour of our life back after we watch each episode. But, like a bad accident...
Thank goodness for my Dish PVR so we can jump ahead throughout the show.

Anyway, last night's episode cracked us both up. Every week the three women, the guys, even the host say Robert (the Arnold clone) should be gone and how much they hate him. Every week is is back. It's great. Last night they were mad at America for not getting rid of him. Of course this means more votes to keep the guy!
It's almost like reality TV backlash - if you are dumb enough to say "America, pick my husband" then you deserve what you get. If I had the AT&T thing, I'd vote for Robert, just to watch how pissed these women get....

Oh man, I haven't been recording this because I'd rather record The World Series of Poker, and The O.C. and some other show, but it's pretty ironic that Robert is still on the show given his knuckleheadedness.

I hope Robert wins. That would be funny. I can't believe he is still in it, he is in no way even close to the right guy for her. But, at the end of the show I was tempted to call and vote for him just so he'd stick around and raise hell with Lisa's friends

The voting plays out a lot like American Idol. There are the clear front runners, like Hank and Dominic, then there are the clear bottom-of-the-packers like Robert and Ken. It's the guys in the middle who should be worrying. The bottomfeeders always get lots of votes because people know they'll be gone if they don't vote. It would be a much different outcome if they voted for who they wanted to boot off the show.

This is kind of an addicting show, especially when the PVR can snag it for later viewing.

I thought it was funny how last night Lisa and her friends were booing America for getting rid of guys she liked. But the whole point is that no one "voted" to get rid of this guy. This guy was just kind of boring and therefore did not get many votes as say a Hank would or even Robert (who I think is just getting voted because of comedy or sympathy.) I admit, I had been pulling for Robert at first because I found him so sad and funny. He was like this pitiful guy in a perfect man's body which is an odd paradox. But I think his schtick is wearing thin so I wouldn't mind him leaving.

I was surprised though at how she carried on about the one guy leaving. I don't really remmeber her having that much of a connection to that guy. He seemed pretty boring, which is probably why he pulled the least votes.

Lisa is pretty, but does she seem kind of "simple" to anyone else? It seems like she doesn't have much of a personality for some reason.

I've never thought Lisa was "all that and a bag of chips". At first, she might catch your attention, but the more you look at her, she starts looking less and less attractive. Maybe her big toothy smile scares me. Plus, can you imagine having to deal with her catty friends in the long run?

I also think its odd how she can start to have "feelings" for 10 different guys. (ok at least 5 or 6 of them).

And these guys all have to watch her on her dates kissing the other guys. That is kind of creepy.

Something I have wondered about this show is that in the beginning they reveal who is leaving, and then they show the pre-recorded date segments. So obviously the booted guy had a last date we don't get to see.

I'm sure they will want to save that for a follow-up special or something.

I'm betting that who America picks is not going to be who Lisa wants. Imagine this: Robert and Ken are the final two. The women are so pissed, they want to walk off the show, but they can't since Simon will sue them or something. So, America says Robert is the man. In his Arnold voice he says: "Lisa I am so glad to have been chosen by the people for you. You are my sun and moon and I can't wait to be with you." Laura jumps out of her chair and start swearing and attacking him. Commercial.

OR Hank is picked and after about a month we here how Lisa is staying in LA to be with ____(insert other person's name here).

No matter what, the last few episodes are going to be great. Almost Jerry Springer-esque.

It's also funny how they only get the million dollars if they remain married a year. One year..big whoop!

I could easily stay in a faux marriage for a year for a half million. You could just do what you want, be married in name, and collect your cash.

The show is making it sound like it is this great commitment.

I also find it amusing how her friends keep harping on the guys about commitment and wanting a family. Hello?!? These guys barely know Lisa. How are you supposed to act serious about marriage & kids with someone who you've only spent a few hours with?
