I thought the same thing too. I mean, I could see in a couple cases where they might want to give someone a wierd name for effect. But for the most part it really doesn't matter what someones name is.

If I were the producer, I'd give Ingrid a ten thousand dollar check that moment, then tell her she'll receive another $100,000 if she played along and kept her mouth shut. After all, they already have that money allotted to her.

As for characters' names, I'm sure they change them so none of the 'Schmoes" memories are jogged as to who these actors are. Some of them have done work before that they could have seen them in, although it's a small chance.

Having Cammy's name as Jana or whatever instead might make Tim recall "Hey, that's Jana Something... she was in that porno I saw two months ago. Uh-oh."

Ralph (The host) is doing awesome. He carries the show well. It's gotta be hard saying all those inuendos and keeping in that serious british personality.

Bryce... just the concept of the character is brilliant. But this actor has the psycho-look and movements down.


I'm definetely enjoying this season much more than the first. (BTW, didn't it seem like the last Schmoe was the Gotta-Be-Gay guy of last season? )

That would be the best thing to do. And I think they might actually do it, because in the promo I think they said something along the lines that the way the game is going to be played will dramatically change. Sounds good!

I think she's really great...laughing at all the cheesy jokes and actually using her brain to figure things out. She can dance pretty nicely too.

Another way I think they screwed up was not having a 'buddy' character for each of them; someone who is normal and gets close to them, and who's character goal is to diffuse all suspicions about the game being rigged.

The stuff about the 7/5 show should be in a different thread, folks.
