I think the short guy looks like a funny looking Ben Affleck.

Lexie, I agree about the right hand man looking familiar. HAs anyone looked up their names on IMDB.com? I never caught their names.

I find it funny that under the contestants name, they are all some sort of "executive." Don't they have a thesaurus?

I think this whole show is a sham and the joke is on us. Are people really this stupid and so hard up to be on TV that they'd allow themselves to be treated this way...don't answer ;).

I would have walked off right after the "you broads" comment.

Fabnsab - The "right hand man's" name is David Jahn. He has done some acting and has appeared on "Frasier" and "Suddenly" Susan, plus a couple of movies.

Thanks, Sanfran. I must have caught him in one of those shows but I couldn't imagine which.

I agree Lilfair. Some of these people look very familiar to me as well. I think the joke will be on us in the end too. There is something about this show that is very, very strange.

This started out good but gets less funny ea week...I wish they would have talked to Joe Schmo writers to learn how to pull this off and be more funny.

I did LOL at the girl in frog mask in the BR

I agree that the show is not funny anymore. I missed the last episode but remembered to watch this Sundays. I truly think that these so-called candidates are none too smart...or is it ALL an act with wannabee actors/actresses?

At this point I would imagine Whitney will be around for quite a while. Eyecandy for the show...

I'm still finding it funny, but it's hard to believe that these are real business people. We'll have to see where it goes. I just hope it doesn't get cancelled, but it certainly isn't in the same league as Joe Schmoe or MBFOF.

I continue to watch this but I feel it will be yanked soon so I am not getting too invested in it, if getting invested was even possible.

I find this show hillarious. The fact that they have known actors on it, like Alice from Y & R as the wife, and the right hand man from Frasier, etc. seem to be clues for the contestents, who just don't seem to get it. I think it's hillarious how they buy everything he says!

Gee...it doesn't seem to be airing tonight in San Francisco. It is preempted on the local Fox affiliate (channel 2) due to some dumb football game. When that happens, their sister station (channel 36) often airs the shows preempted on channel 2.

However, according to the TV Guide it is only airing on the Sacramento Fox affiliate (channels 35 and 40) which are unavailable in SF. According to the newspaper it is airing on channel 36 (the Fox affiliate's sister station). According to the interactive guide accessible through my cable's decoder box, it isn't airing at all.

Three different sources for programming....three different answers as to it's airing.

Anyone got the scoop on this?

<a few minutes later....>

Oops....never mind!

I just checked the big fat official web site at www.fox.com/bigfat and it says "returns Dec 5", so I guess it ain't on tonight at all!

Do you think this is Fox's way of saying "You're Fired" to MBFOB????

There's a poll to vote for you think the secret boss is:

go here to vote:http://www.fox.com/bigfat/

I doubt seriously if it's Ivana Trump, but that would be priceless! (I voted for "Other"....I still think it's a monkey. :-))

PS - it's listed to air on Sunday, Dec 5

I watched it last night Ketchuplover.

It had me laughing a few times. I cannot believe how these people can't think something is up, mind you some don't seem to be the brightest bulb in the box. lol

I was thinking the same thing. Do you think they could be talking how ridiculous everything is amongst themselves and it is being edited out? The after show interviews should be very interesting.

It was the blonde with the short hair. I figured they would boot her since they seem to be booting the ones I actually think might catch on.

Oh Dang IT! I missed the show. I forgot all about it!

I don't claim to have a better BS meter than anyone else but I would have figured something wasn't right the second episode.

imo, its funny, but i sure won't be missing desperate housewives to watch it. DH wasn't on sunday night, so i figured i would see if fox pulled it yet. i do have a feeling that it is ivana trump who is the mystery person. that's the only reason i really care anymore :-).
