yeah, I see what you mean. kind of like Dave Coullier from the last one.....

raven56706 01-12-05 12:16 PM

recording this one too..... its freaking hilarious

Big Boy Laroux 01-12-05 12:35 PM

yeah, i even made that comment ot my wife (about dave coulier). imagine coming onto a show looking to just have a good time, then you realize that if you don't assume some kind fo parent role, it'll be complete anarchy cause no one else will do it.

Travis Bickle 01-12-05 12:42 PM

Can anybody get the damn videos on VH1.com to play! I can only play the "Public Service Announcement" (really more like an ad) and then the player status says "ready" only nothing happens. Click "play" and it plays the ad again. WTF!

well, in all fairness, I'm sure they were planning on Flava Flav assuming the parental roll.....

ytrez 01-12-05 06:41 PM

Screw da brat. Have some respect for other people's feelings first of all and, second of all, take a look at yourself. I'm sure plenty more people have heard of the Go-Go's, Jane Weidlin & the Brady Bunch than of her. Jane's had more albums and success than brat ever will. Take a look at her bio on VH1. Arrested for pistol whipping a woman at a club, was in Kazaam & Glitter. Talk about washed up!

Gil Jawetz 01-12-05 06:48 PM

Don't hate.

Big Boy Laroux 01-12-05 07:08 PM

so who was the parental figure season one?

MC Hammer?
Corey Feldman?

Vince Neil and MC Hammer shared that responsibility with Gabrielle Carteris.

Another reason why season 1 ruled.

I can't get them to play either.

Da Brat is a bit to bitchy for her own good... "I'm not living in a house with has-beens." Jesus Christ, Chyna's more know then she is... Get over yourself.

Josh-da-man 01-13-05 12:16 AM

I finally figured out who Da Brat reminds me of...

http://us.ent4.yimg.com/movies.yahoo...murphy/snl.jpg

"I'm Gumby, dammit!"

But Jane seems to cry when mice fart so it's no big deal. The truth is Da Brat is right. This show is "The Love Boat" for the new millenium. Anyone who doesn't realize this about the show is in denial. All the "stars" are "has-beens" or have seen better days in their careers. Da Brat is the only one honest enough to admit this and "ghetto enough" to say it out loud.

The truth is alla yuz guys wanna FUCK Jane(actually me too after that pool scene ;) ) so naturally you all jump to her defense. If that Sushi/Curry babe had said what Brat said you guys wouldn't even be talking about this to such a degree. You guys woulda blew the comment off. :D

Anyway, I gotta say this...Vern Troyer is funny but he's friggin gross. Seeing him nekkid was funny as hell but it disturbed me deeply :lol::eek:

Chyna... oh gawd that body :drool::drool::drool:
Sushi/Curry girl :drool:
Jane:drool:

Everybody realizes this...it isn't rocket science, it's the entire premise of the show. The interviews at the beginning even have all had the stars talking about when things went sour in their careers. Except for Da Brat, who insisted that she is not a "has been." If anybody is in denial, it's her.

Big Boy Laroux 01-13-05 12:00 PM

but has the model even done anything? has her career gone sour? she seems like an up-and-comer rather than a has-been.

Groucho 01-13-05 12:14 PM

Good point. They always include a reality show star as well.

The Surreal Life "recipe" seems to always include one or more of the follwing: Former Child Star, Rapper, Reality Show Star, and a Model. With the exception of season 2 they've also had a member of a famous band too.

Gil Jawetz 01-13-05 12:55 PM

The reason Da Brat is being offensive is not because she's wrong (which as you pointed out, she kind of isn't) it's because she excludes herself. Saying "we're all past our prime! Let's party!" is one thing. Saying "you all are washed up and I'm above you!" sucks, no matter who says it. But when a real burn-out says it it's a big insult.

raven56706 01-13-05 01:14 PM

Da Brat....she is a big loser......

she is the hip hop tag a long.

ytrez 01-13-05 02:54 PM

Well allow me to retort.

I saw no indication that Jane cries easily, but maybe I missed something in the "coming" section. More importantly, I'm not saying that Jane isn't a "has-been". I'm saying that da brat is as much, if not more, of a "has-been" as anyone in the house.

If anyone is in denial it is obviously her.

I'd have a problem is sushi-girl made the comment as well. From a different perspective though, because she is a "never-was".

1. Seriously, I've always confessed my love/lust/affection for Chyna. She's awesome.
2. Your Mom's been telling stories about me again huh? Smaller just means more anal. Did she tell you that part?;)
3. I like 'em Exotic so Chyna works for me on many levels.

Bah! She's just playing the "hip hop B-girl" role. Of course she can't admit she's a has been. She knows she is and by the end, after the dinner, she'll confess that she is.

shawagg 01-14-05 04:29 AM

Where is this airing? Is it not on the WB now?

I watched the first 2 seasons and had no idea it was coming back.

kramdenfan 01-14-05 08:03 AM

VH-1 bought the show after season 2- this is the 4rth season of the show, second season aired on VH-1....

Giantrobo 01-14-05 12:04 PM

The cool thing about this show is it's like "The Real World Concentrate". Isn't it shot over a short period of time instead of months like TRW? Also, although they've added the stupid "Missions", the show can still kick ass just watching these celebs interact without giving them chores.


I'm still trying to imgaine what Vern's little finger felt like touching sushi/curry girls nipple. :yack:

kramdenfan 01-14-05 12:19 PM

I think they are only in the house for a week...

I guess your definition of exotic differs a lot of ours :lol:

But yeah Verne Troyer riding around naked on his little scooter drunk and naked was hilarious, yet so wrong at the same time. It could have been even better if they got him the little motorized chair with the horn from Austin Powers.

Don't know who Da Brat is, dont really care, but she'll bring some good drama.

I only got to see a few episodes of the past season, but I gotta remember to watch this from now on.

1. I guess so. :p

2. I can't get over the "ehhhhhh!" noise he was making.

3. Da Brat, will come out of this looking really stupid and she'll realize she was being a C-word when it's all over with.

GuessWho 01-14-05 04:09 PM

I believe they're there for 10-14 days

Da Thrilla 01-14-05 07:27 PM

Vern Vern Vern...rotfl

Rivero 01-14-05 11:04 PM

Did it seem to anyone else like Vern was about to make out with that Brady guy? That wouldve been the topper

the narrator 01-15-05 01:27 AM

I don't know why i like this show so much, but I am addicted to it....though next week's episode looks pretty mediocre

What's really funny is that the only reason I know who she is is because the z-grade riotgrrl metal band Kittie covered one of her songs. :lol:

nazz 01-15-05 02:27 AM

Yeah, Vern's "ehhhhhhhh" noices were freaking me out but then when he started to make out with the Brady dude I thought I might start going blind.

Ravenous 01-15-05 02:34 AM

Wow, I have NEVER heard so many annoying voices in my life. There was what, 3 or 4 there? I loved the first three seasons but this one made me physically sick. I think hearing Chyna was like nails in my brain and than to see that she is clearly a woman that was once a man and surgery can sure do alot for a person (you guys HAVE seen her before the surgeries right?). Da Brat? What a dillusional idiot. The model was kinda quiet to judge, but seemed cool, and so did the Brady. But that GoGos chick was a bit annoying, yet seemed cool, I just dont dig the voice. The model was pretty damn hot and Im curious to see what shes like. And Vern... I felt sorry for him. I was laughing so hard, than just felt like a damn voyeur invading his privacy. Oh and not to be mean, but is he sick or something to have to ride the cart all the time? I had never heard anything of him being unable to walk, but Im guessing because of his condition his bones are weak or something. Oh and Chyna taking his room was pure shit. That was horrible and If I had been there, I would have wiped the floor with her, it just wasnt cool


So yea, I'll keep watching :)
