I cannot help but suspect the only reason the "babes" are participating in this is to get their faces on TV and make a quick buck while achieving bit of fame.

A 1 in 7 shot at $125K isn't a bad reason either.

If you look at their bios (or make some basic assumptions from their "occupations"), you'll see that almost every one of them is an "aspiring actress". Most "reality" shows are that way.

So I guess you're saying my theory has a bit of validity to it?

More like it's not just a theory, but the reality (har har) of the situation.

When talking about finding people for reality show competitions, words like "audition tapes" and "casting" are always used. Yet some people are still amazed when the shows always seem filled up with attention whores.

Next, Dr. DVD will posit his ground-breaking theory that Eva Longoria was cast in "Desperate Housewives" because she is good-looking.

Damn, I missed it. Will they re-air the first episode, or have I missed the re-airing too?

I believe the re-airing was done the next day.

This doesn't strike me as the reality show that's going to be that hard to jump into it without seeing the first episode, however.

Finally got around to watching this today. I hate reality shows, but make some exceptions every now and then. This one wasn't that bad.

Okay - the "blonde" lingerie model is not the least bit attractive. And don't even get me started on her mouth and those horse teeth.

I wish they would spend more time showing the interaction between the two groups then these stupid challenges.

Looking forward to this reality offering. It has gotten decent reviews.
one of the worst shows ever... not one thing was good about this.. this is like a scene in a movie where the popular girl takes pity on the nerd and gives him a date or something but it has no meaning whatsoever and is done for all the wrong reasons.

horrible show.

Hilarious show. They aired the first episode here in Canada yesterday and I agree with most of the above comments about this show.

I also find her the most attractive out of the group.
