This show was too painful to watch. I am sure it was all arranged by the producers but the bullying by the "hunks" was too much for me. I wish producers would quit trying so hard to manipulate my emotions. This is soooo not reality TV.

Watching, when the hunks arrived at the house, they were told that certain bedrooms (the ones for two people instead of dorms with bunkbeds) were already occupied (by the Joes) and of course, as per the previews, they chose to push aside the Joes (Dante being quite pugnacious with them) and goosestepped into the occupied rooms, throwing all the belongings onto outside terraces, then stripping off the sheets and tossing them, etc.

Dante was, naturally, enraged, and he confronted, even flung a hunk bag or two and stood up to them. At one point he was so frustrated he grabbed a hunk and kissed him smack on the mouth.

Sputtering hunk, as you can imagine.

This is the least appealing of all the Joe Shows, IMO.

Next week we seem to get the Anna in a fatsuit being able to observe the actions of the guys first hand. That's always one of the better episodes and hopefully Dante and the makeover Joes won't be there (I could live with never seeing Dante again and wish they'd at least started him on an exercise program, for his health's sake) But he did clean up on the dentistry. My dentist.. I've gone to him for at least 35 years.. has gone mostly into reconstructive stuff (but still does crowns, inlays, bridges) and I asked him if he'd watched some of the extreme makeover shows and he brightened up considerably and said he's done some full mouth makeovers like that and loves that transformation and that some of those jobs were in the $100,000 range.

But Dante's teeth aside, this is sort of a bottom dweller that seems to fit into my DVR schedule.

Peeper ... I had the same reaction. Me, the total reality addict, I got up and left the room when the hunks started bullying the Joes. Just couldn't watch. I saw enough of that when i was 14 ... now that I'm a grandmother, it just breaks my heart to see it (even though I suspect it is staged and scripted!).

Yes Hooty it seemed too staged and too stereotypical not to have been scripted. I sure the Hunks were told to evade the Joe's rooms.

Hmmmm...I am enjoying the show but can't help feeling that it's quite scripted.

Just got around to watching last week's show. Thought it was funnier than heck when Dante kissed Carson! Carson was going off about him trying to shove his tongue down his throat. I don't think so! It was just a full on smack!

The date night with the hunk, and her looking all mesmerized and "powerless" (as she put it) as she gazed into his eyes. Now, if THAT wasn't a bunch of scripted crap, I don't know what is.

Craig <nd> When he was caught sucking face with a woman from the bar and then later kicked off the show, he told Anna, "I had nothing to lose". <>

Yea, Craig validated his booting! That's for sure! He didn't exactly save face with his snarky remark, did he!

The episode was decent. I like Anna of all the female contestants so far.

I think she ends up with Josh...just a feeling I have.

The tall dark haired guy (name?) is gorgeous!

Rocky is his name, me thinks! I totally agree, Rupertbear that he is gorgeous but I'm rooting for an average Joe.

I caught this show for the first time last night.

I like Anna, but she definitely seems to have baggage. For her to get so upset by that one guy kissing a girl - and she hadn't even gone on a date with him yet?
I gathered that she has had lots of problems with boyfriends in the past and has a hard time trusting. Had that been brought up? What's her story?

Rocky is definitely hunky, but I haven't seen his personality.
I like Josh and hope she picks him.

Arthur(?) kept making me think of Gilbert Gottfried.

My prediction is that it will come down to Rocky and Josh...and she'll pick the Average Josh after much deliberation. She won't be able to totally trust Rocky (even though he has done nothing wrong) after the behavior of his counterparts last night.

Luv- I agree about Arthur and Gottfried. LOL.

LOL...reading everyone's comments...agreeing and nodding here...got nothing to add cos ya'll are spot on! :-)

Janelle has taken Michael (my fav in BB), so maybe Anna could throw Rocky this away when she picks Josh!

on the other hand, Rocky has been the only hunk to be decent to all the Joes.... and when he didn't have to be.

but the Las Vegas Josh has all the same connections in life that Anna has - the job, the location, the looks. and he was the only hunk that was photographed at the premier party. while i'm hoping a Joe wins, the odds are pretty low.

Arthur reminds me of James Hammerton.
He is an actor: Sliding Doors is my fave, also Four Weddings and a Funeral,, etc.)

I was surprised that the "models" they brought in didn't mind being groped all over on TV, they must have been paid well.

I hope she ends up with Josh, Arthur just seems to needy. Although I do like him, poor guy would be crushed if she doesn't pick him.

LOL, Jasper, maybe they were more like, um, "escorts".. or "actresses" getting another line on their IMBD databases?

I think she had a right to be hurt.. they are there for a few weeks, supposedly to get to know her and if some of them couldn't keep their hands and lips off the random hookups well, shame on them. Actually it was less of a "gotcha" than on the previous seasons when the Joes were caught making rude remarks about the rubberized feature girl..

Has anyone seen that new Wendy's commercial with Melana, the girl from the first Average Joe? The first time I saw it, I thought she looked familiar but it took a few viewings to figure out who she was. I just checked the NBC Average Joe web site, and yup, it's her:

LOL.. probably not, but I wasn't teary at all.

Seems suspicious to me that one of her rejects is now final two and teased to perhaps win.
