Joe Schmo, 7/19

Man - no matter how many times they say pearl necklace that will never old. Even Tim got into the comedy of the expression at the end.

Cammy: "If you could give me a pearl necklace tonight, well, I really need one."

I said a few weeks ago that I thought the first season was better.
Not after last night. I never laugh that hard watching TV. Genious.

eleanor deserves an emmy nomination for her performance last night.

there's a fine line between believable and over-the-top and she toed that line perfectly.

putting the "moves" on the real doll - perfect!

The poor new girl just can't WAIT for this all to be over. She looked like she was praying to be evicted last night.

Tim is getting almost hard to believe. He's just such a parody. Just about the most predictable guy on Earth. The first Joe Schmoe was great because he was always a surprise. Has Tim ever surprised anybody?

Question... do you guys think the Ingrid "twist" (that Austin called the wrong grandpa) was intentional? If it was, it seemed to hinge on the fact that either Amanda or Tim caught on to Ingrid mentioning it was her maternal side. It almost seemed like either Austin or Ingrid screwed up the story at some point and Amanda caught it.

I've finally watched all the episodes, and my sides are still hurting from laughing so hard. I'd try to stop laughing, and I'd just keep laughing even more. Oh man, this show shreds all the reality show and succeeds in wringing as much humor out of all the various targets of their parodies.

I think I have the hots for Eleanor (Jessica Makinson). She's got a nice face.

I don't think they would have had Ingrid go out of her way to tell Amanda that her maternal grandfather lives with her parents and that her paternal grandfather was the one that passed on if they didn't need that information to resurface later.

my only big question is this: initially, it was probably going to come down to Ingrid and Cammy. But now that Ingrid's an actress, will it go down to Cammy and Amanda, or Ingrid or Amanda? I don't see Austin ever getting rid of Cammy.

But her character is so one dimensional!

They look pretty 3D to me.

Yeah - why would Austin choose Cammy? Guys always go for the brainy girls over the gorgeous sexpot types who know how to talk dirty and give great lap dances.

i liked at the beginning of the episode where they would keep showing a 2 second clip of what happened last week and when they said that amanda had something important to say and they cut to a 2 second clip of her just stuttering. and then during the eviction ceremony when they would cut to the love dolls and the view from the host's feet.

I love how the producers freaked out every time showed any signs of doubt, but when Tim talks about how Eleanor could have been a really talented actress or the whole infomercial "can't be real," they make nothing of it.

Have you seen her on Trigger Happy on the Comedy Channel? She's such a ham. She did a lot of the gags on the American version of Trigger (the newer ones).

No, never watch much of the Comedy Channel. When's that show on?

I'm not sure of the time... Tivo takes care of it. There is a British version from 2002 and an American version from 2003. Jessica is on the American version. She's a big part of it. Sort of like Candid Camera on speed. Very funny show.
