I like this show. It's pretty funny. Plus, from the previews I have seen it looks like this season they have not just geeks, but dweebs, spazzes, and geeky-dweebs. The one who sings rock and roll songs about Star Wars was a real pip.

We'll probably watch this as the one commercial we saw looked pretty funny, and we've liked previous seasons, but:
...WHY can't they find someone LESS annoying than that guy to bring back?

I absolutely loved this show and it has a good message, and unlike the other reality shows pairing gorgeous women with regular guys (average Joe) it isn't demeaning to either group. I will definately be watching Jan 3rd.

I was actually expecting that "twist" this time.

If your going to miss the 2hr premiere this Wednesday for whatever reason, CW is repeating it this Sunday, January 7 from 8:00 pm ET to 10:00 pm ET. (Great news for me since my VCR's and DVD-R will be busy recording other programs Wednesday.) Starting with the third episode, CW plans to repeat the Wednesdays episodes on the following Sunday from 9:00 pm ET to 10:00 pm ET.

I was very disappointed with last season, Cher was obviously faking her lack of intelligence and did not deserve her win. I am hoping this season is more like the first. I will be taping it tonight.

This group works for me.
The token minorities are eliminated off the bat.
Tori was absolutely worthless - no brain, and even worse, no effort. She better hope she marries somebody well-off before she loses her looks.
at the echoing sound effect they attached to that one chick. Sweet - a Freakonomics plug. Awesome book.
Sheree did seem like a natural at interviewing - I love her eyes.

Looking her very best, Andrea is the only one that has a face and a body that is top notch, very hot.
After that, you have some great bodies with cute to, at best, pretty faces.
I'm a very reasonable person, but most semi-attractive women can get buy on their looks. Men are easy that way.
I did like most of the girls, they were cute, funny, and nice for the most part, but I always roll my eyes when they talk about how hot they are and how they use their looks for this and that. They just aren't that great.
While Andrea seems to be overly critical, I feel badly for her because her partner doesn't seem like he has any chance of improving. If they offer cash again, she should take it.
I also got the sense we have ringers again this season.

Good riddance Tori, another typical person who blames everyone but herself for her problems.
Andrea is frickin' hot, but that's the only good thing I can say about her.
Terrylee is also pretty, but at least she's nice.
Very good start to this year.

Good start to the show. The guys are definately more geeky looking than last year..but i suspect that several of them could clean up pretty well (one of the guys looks like hyde from that 70's show)

The problem with Andrea is that she's got "drive" to win, but she has nothing to offer in the challenges, she was awful in the interview segment. I am not impressed by her not being able to walk the walk and talk the talk in that respect.
I'm glad Erin's still around, something about her eyes I find endearing, she's pretty, but without the obnoxiously big boobs (Tori). CCG might be a plant, but she is annoying in that Anna Nicole Smith sort of way.
Nate and Niels look like plants to me. Loved it when Mario got a dose of his own medicine after dissing CCG for her Golden state response, and then hearing himself get dissed when there were 3 girls left and the one that "stepped up" took one for the team.

It's CW's spin, but hopefully the ratings will hold up.
