Thanks to the magic of bittorrent, I'm following along with this season with you guys! But I have a question: Like Jodied75 said, here in Canada, the third season just premiered. I watched (and loved) the first two seasons when it was on the WB. I could barely watch the first episode of the third season because they seemed to have really, really cheesed it up. The first two seasons weren't that bad. Is the fourth season turning out to be just cheesy as the third?

I just downloaded and watched the first episode. THIS SHOW ROCKS!!! I nearly died laughing when Chris was looking down at Vern, not knowing what to do, and the curtain fell down on Chris's head. LOL! Man, Chris is hot! And he seems like a really, easygoing cool guy. And can Jane be any more adorable!? Adrainne was as awesome as she was on ANTM. Chyna is trying too hard to be the center of attention. I hope she chills out. Marcus is so quiet! He seems so displaced. I kind of bad for him. The one thing I loved about the past seasons I have seen, is how this show always starts off seeming like a freak show, but you always grow to really love and respect these people by the time the show ends. Never in a million years would I have thought I'd have a fondness for MC Hammer, Eric Estrada, Tammy Faye or Vanilla Ice. And, surprisingly enough, people who have been on this show grow close as well. This really is a fun show,

Beachcomber---I sure didn't mean to direct my comment at you about the circus side show. The first time it was mentioned was on the actual show by DaBrat and then they added graphics to the fade-away to make the house look like a circus tent. So I agree with you the show editors are maybe taking advantage of him. I also agree with Scorpio Moon about the people you grow fond of that you would never believe---another one to add to your list-----Vince Neil.

Scorpiomoon, I am really liking Charo so far. "Spooning leads to forking" LOL. I like Dave, too. But Brigitte - uhhhhh. I hope I'm not being too harsh to say I'm feeling a little repulsed. She grosses me out. I don't think she's the least bit sexy, but it's because of the way she dresses, or lack of dress, I should say. She's flopping everywhere, and the thong should have been disposed of 10 years ago (or at least saved for in private with special someones). I think she could be quite striking if she covered up a little. Anyhoo, I am reading with you guys on TSL IV. Verne sounds pretty outrageous. Did anyone see him when he guest-starred on Boston Public? I loved him in that role - he was a very normal person, not Mini-Me or the way he's sounding here. I wonder if he tends to overcompensate in real life to make up for his small stature.

Hi Jodied! I wonder why Canada shows this a year behind the US? Is Survivor a year behind, too? I loved Charo too, but Dave just wasn't the same guy that I thought he was (of course, based on Full House). Brigitte grew on me as the season went on. I remember thinking the same thing about her initially. She and Flav develop a pretty real relationship. How or why they bonded, I can't quite figure out...but I loved the "realness" of it as it progressed. How's the weather where you are? We're at sub-zero temps with wind chills around 20 below today. Not much hope for warming this week, either! brrrrr.... :-)

Hukdonreality: When The Surreal Life first aired (the first two seasons) it was on the WB. Here in Canada, we got it at the same time you did. When the WB dumped the show and it was picked up by VH1, here in Canada, we had to wait until one of the cable channels bought the rights. With 99% of the shows you guys see, we see them at the exact same time.

Cheiko, no problem. Old age forgetitis is creeping up on me and I forgot the show had used that term and visual!! The second show was much better and I loved how creative and generous Jane was with the little girls playing with her makeup.

Huked, like Scorpio said, almost all shows are on here at the same time. I don't get the WB either, so I had to wait until TSL showed up on MuchMoreMusic, a Canadian version of MTV. I didn't actually see the first Surreal Life until over the Christmas holidays, when they showed the back-to-back episodes over 4 hours. That was a good day I loved Motley Crue, now I'm more in love with Vince Neil. To think I used to like Corey Feldman! Ugh. This show sure does show a different side of "celebrities". Jordan Knight is acting like a jerk. Like Da Brat, they really "doth protest too much" about being on a show with "has-beens". Like as if they complain enough, they won't be in the has-been category themselves. Get over it! When they behave as if they didn't really know what the show was all about (it was their agents' fault that they're on the show), I lose what little respect I had for them in the first place. Suck it up! You know why you're on the show!

I wanted to add the only other show I waited for to see here in Canada is Manhunt. It is so cheesy, not as good as Next Top Model, but I'm liking the visual aspects Huked, I also wanted to say I looked at your profile (I admit, I am guilty of checking people out here, I have a curious nature), and I just love it. I particularly love the last 4 "questions". Hee.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show! Can I just say, again, how freaking HOT Christ Knight is? Aye yi yi yi! And, again, Jane is so ADORABLE! It's only Episode 3 and already everyone has calmed down and is sweet and so likable. I don't know why people slag this show so much. At the end, all these celebs come out looking really good.

I like how they all boosted Chyna's confidence last night. They were all so sweet. And Marcus, what a sweetie. And Chris is looking mighty good! Wasn't he on some kind of weight challenge show on Discovery last year? He's sure toned himself up.

Mamie316> Yep. I just read over at imdb.com, Chris did the Discovery Channel Celebrity Body Challenge which aired last January. I remember hearing about it back then, but didn't watch it. I would have loved to see Chris get in shape. Looks like he kept up with what he learned while doing that Discover show.

I didn't see it either but I remember seeing the commercials for it and it was Susan Olsen and Christopher Knight. It is nice to see that someone actually keeps up with whatever they have learned on these "get in shape" shows.

I keep missing this show but did see about 20 minutes tonight. I'm liking this group so far from what I've seen and I wasn't so sure I would. It was the cattle wrestling scene with Adrianne branding the calf. And I finally heard Markus say something. They do seem to be getting along in a very 'normal' way compared to some past groups so now I want to tune in more often. It was quite sad though listening to Chyna in her moment of truth. I hope she comes out of this show with some good friends who remain there for her. Again though, does anyone know if Verne has health problems that necessitate the scooter?

Kappy: From what I read, Chyna comes out ok after the show. Supposedly, she and Marcus dated for awhile afterward. I don't know what it is about this show and love connections that happen because of it! As far as Vern's scooter, nothing has ever been mentioned about it. I'm guessing it just helps him get around easier.

Howard Stern said this morning that he had Chyna on the show last week I guess and tonight it would be on E! But I guess she is so totally outrageous and out of it during the show that he said he got 4 calls from her family members, asking him to get her help. He said that he talked to her and her brother after the show and told her that she should get herself into rehab and she seemed to listen but then they left and who knows what happens.

Hmmm. I wonder where all her pain stems from. I think Howard Stern is the last person to be suggesting rehab to anyone. It's because she's outrageous and over the top that she gets attention and gets on shows like Howard Stern. If she went into rehab and came out a normal, functioning adult, Stern wouldn't have her back on--she'd be too boring. And that's leaves her stuck between choosing to use drugs to escape her pain and help her get gain infamy (which could be considered a win-win situation by some) or take better care of herself.

I think I read somewhere that she had a pretty messed up childhood and I know I've seen her talking about how shocked and upset she was when her boyfriend left her for Vince McMahon's daughter.

I watched this for the first time last night. Omg I hate Chyna's voice, but she also looks alot slimmer than when she was wrestling and posing for Playboy. Those braids aren't doing a thing for her either.

Someone called me to tell me to turn on Stern when she was on. This woman needs professional help. She was totally not cool on this show. Of course, Stern didn't help by also having her ex, Sean Waltman, who filed police charges against her for domestic abuse, call in to the show. I felt so sorry for her after watching, and sick at heart. I really do hope she got herself some help.

Mocha: The early-morning vodka shots are doing much for her either! I was a bit disappointed by last night's episode. There was just something about watching Adrianne's neediness that made me uncomfortable. Chris is still hot. Jane is still adorable. Chyna is troubled. Vern is a stick in the mud. Da Brat is way too uptight. Marcus is boring. I am dying to know how Chris went from totally understanding what Adrianne's motives were and not really being into her to now dating her. Could it really only be because of the way she looks?
