I thought they implanted something in his chin or something besides the lipo, but I'm sure I'm wrong! LOL They talked about getting "fit" and you're not going to get a body in super shape in just a couple of weeks either.

So this week we will see "her" eliminate some "mean hunks". Next week we will see a "good hunk" rise to the surface to give the "leading Joe" the requisite run for his money propelling us to the "tear jerking" end where for the first time in history "she" will choose a Joe. After the taping wraps both will go back to their lives as look for work.

I shouldn't have posted a spoiler. My apologies.

I find it fascinating that this show is not even so bad it is good. It is just bad. I have to admit I have taken it off my Tivo. I can't watch it and I pride myself in being able to watch endless hours of crap. Crap. I like that word. I may use it all week. I just finished a long run with suck. It is time to move on.

(Now I'm gonna feel guilty for keeping in on my TiVO). Just let me know if you want a blow by blow description of the show. You may forget what happens. (smirk, smirk, wink, wink).

You are funny today....gave me a good laugh. Thanks.

I'm keeping it on my dvr, and I don't feel guilty. I'm enjoying it for what it's worth ... I don't expect much, so I'm not disappointed, lol ...

I'm so po'd at that "hunk" guy that the avg joe kissed. I thought it was so funny that he kissed him to piss him off. I hope that guy Carson gets thrown off tonight!

ok, now I'm po'd again at that Carson guy!! He thinks he is so much better than the avg joes. I hope the girl realizes that he thinks he is too good for her, you can tell by the way he doesn't look at her. Ugh, I can't stand people like that guy!! Why o Why am I watching this??

She will end up with Josh from Las Vegas, even if she does pick a Joe at the end. Josh from Las Vegas was the only hunk photographed at the premier party.

Carson may have been telling the truth (takes one to know one) but he didn't have to state it in such a hurtful manner (Rocky would have put it nicer). Hello, Carson, you are also there to be a fame and if the teaser for next week is true to your personality, she's gonna see how ugly you and your model/wanna-be-actors are on the inside. She needs to ask the producers to allow her to eliminate more hunks than Joes next week.

Oh, konashark said "". And he usually likes redheads.

Fruitbat, How do you know what is going to happen in future episodes? If you are right, why would you think that we would want to know before we see it? I hate it when people tell you what happens in a book/movie (or in this case) a reality show.
I f you feel the need to do this, at least warn people that it is a spoiler.

The way I read Fruitbat's synopsis of the show was not as a spoiler but as an oh so predicatable reality show. These shows tend to be the same; over and over again, hence the predictability. I don't think Fruitbat has any knowledge that we couldn't all come up with if we were to give it any thought at all.

Go easy on our Fruitbat, she's just got a quirky sense of humor.

This show is a trainwreck and has no merit whatsoever. Yes, I know it is TV but come on....

The hunks behavior was horrible and I am so tired of seeing wannabe actors/stars on these programs.

It is obvious that she would not have any real interest in the average joes and who wants to watch her play tonsil hockey with a bunch of jerks?

Ick!

I had the same take as AuntieMike on Fruitbait's post.
And I know she's right but I still get so mad when people are so full of themselves like that Carson guy and his sidekick from Dallas. I guess it's really sad when you think about it though, to only think you are worthy because of the way you look and use that same thinking for others. Shame, they will miss out on a lot of good people that way.

Have you all noticed that NONE of these hunks are with any beautiful, gorgeous, arm candy women on a permanent basis. Maybe the women are too smart to settle for just looks!

At any rate, these guys are playing it up to be shallow and insensitive (as if those are virtuous qualities!) and I am really quite surprised that Anna seems to look deeper than that.

She has my respect because she seems to be well grounded and knows what might be valuable and long lasting. I wish her well.

I also have to say, that even though I never warmed up to Dante, I did find him admirable as he stood up to the bullying. He gained my respect.

I don't know that some little tweaks are all that sad, Denecee.. I mean, how many of us have worn contact lenses at some time in our life, or had dental work done, or orthodontic work, or teeth whitening? Or worked out, dieted, shaved, waxed, worn makeup, gotten pedicures/manicures, had hair permed, straightened, colored, styled. And sure, many of those things MAY be done for health reasons but no one minds if they result in being more attractive/feeling better. All a matter of degree, IMO.

Yes, we all should be loved as is, but there's no harm in some grooming..

Seamonkey, I didn't mean that the little tweaks that you mentioned were sad. I said and stand by that it is sad to place all your worthiness or that of others on your outside appearance. Carson & Mike come across like that and I think they will miss out on a lot of good people by being that way.

Well I certainly agree with you there Denecee, and it is sad when someone only looks at appearance. Hard to say about the "hunks" and I won't even generalize to all models because many people who model still have their feet on the ground and value other attributes, BUT.. I'd think you'd find more who do stress looks, in a field that clearly cares only about looks.

I do think, for the Joes, it is (hopefully) more like being mentored (although Dante hit the jackpot with the mouth makeover)

Really, Dante's dental work would have cost him a fortune! My teeth never got worked over that much and I've gone through almsot all of my dental insurance...and you should know that my parents in their 80s still have more left than me. I don't know why I had to be the one in the family to get such shitty teeth..not to mention the body.. LOL Sadly, if mine look better, it's because it was done out of neccesity because of PAIN. I could never afford to do anything just for cosmetic reasons! I would have loved to have skip all the fillings, root canals, extractions.... yow!! LOL Ok...enough about me - I'm going to sound like one of the models in a second! :-)

I missed the very beginning since I forgot it was on. What happened with a hunk kissing a joe? And I was SO HAPPY to see Carson's buddy get the boot. Let's hope he follows right quickly next week!

I think the guy from Long Island (I think) can't remember their names, will be the final "joe" and I think that guy who was also from somewhere around NYC and got upset at what Carson and buddy were saying, is going to be the over-the-top in love "joe" this time. Yeah, it's predictable and it's cheesy, and I didn't even check that they actually showed NCIS at the same time! LOL Ever since AI ended, they kept having something else on and darn if I didn't forget about it! I think I'll still watch the trainwreck that is the Joes, though... it's summer. LOL
