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

I mean why was Vern being such a prick -AFTER- she tried to make "friendly" and make a deal that worked in Vern's favor?
Vern = Mini Diva

True dat. I loved Chyna's "I could kick your tiny ass for goal because I'm pissed and drunk" look she gave Vern after he went "Diva" on her.

It's 12 days in the house. From TVGuide.com:
Brady Bro's Surreal Comeback
by Danny Spiegel
It's been 20 years since Christopher Knight — aka The Brady Bunch's Peter — has been active in showbiz (not including various Brady-related projects). But after a successful career in the computer industry, the man who made "pork chops and applesauce" part of the pop-culture lexicon is putting himself out there again. First, he got in shape on Discovery Health Channel's Body Challenge: Hollywood. Later, VH1's The Surreal Life (Sundays at 9 pm/ET) kindly provided him with a new — and much younger — girlfriend. Here, the Brady boy dishes the Surreal dirt...
TV Guide Online: You're "the stable one" this Surreal season, much like Erik Estrada was last year. Coincidentally, you did Body Challenge together before this.
Christopher Knight: When we were doing the Body Challenge, Erik exited for two weeks to do Surreal Life. So [before doing this show,] I called Erik and I called Dave Coulier [the Full House alum from Season 3]. They both said, "Definitely do it, but be very careful." And, most importantly, "Don't drink." Um, I drank after four hours. There was just no way to live in that house without drinking. Luckily, I never really got out of hand — I think. Although Adrianne seems to tell me that maybe I did. But she says I'm a cute drunk, so I guess that's OK.
TVGO: In the first episode, rapper Da Brat comes to get you after the drunk, naked Verne Troyer (aka Mini-Me) has just urinated outside your door. Were you thinking, "Get me out of here"?
Knight: It was, like, "Uh, OK... eleven more days of this? I'm not sure I'm going to be able to handle that." [At least] there's nothing boring about being there. I suffer a little ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), so the environment was liberating because they took care of everything. You don't have a wallet, you don't get to drive, you don't get to decide what you're doing; they create your environment. For someone like me, that means that I can be distracted by less.

I watched a rebroadcast of the opening episode for this season and laughed louder than I have in quite some time. I don't know the large woman that's sleeping in Vern's room, but I found that hilarious. I don't think that I'll watch the entire season, but it was funny enough that I'll pause if I catch it.
I then saw a few minutes of Flava Flav and Bridgette Nielsen on another show that was supposedly spawned from this and found that a tad bit...I don't have words for that pairing.

Verne's a bit of a jackass, but I did feel sorry for him in this episode. They should have tried harder to put together an outing that everybody could do.

Does anyone else Marcus Schenkenberg is just a walking/talking bag of meat? He doesn't seem to do much of anything except look pretty, vapid and vacuous.

How many episodes of this season is there supposed to be? According to VH1's site I only see 2 new episodes over the next month: "I'm with Cupid," and "Seven Celebrities of Death (Part 1)." I assume there will be a Part 2, but they only seem to have a new episode every 2 weeks. How long is this going to drag out? this was only done over a 10 day period. I think it's pretty good, but come on with the new episodes already. This isn't Shakespeare. I don't see the need to stretch this series over 4 months or something.
