I think we've known all along that the women are encouraged to keep a few "colorful" guys around. I agreed with the guys she ditched, except for the short one. But maybe she picked up on some personality thing that didn't agree with her. I figured she'd get rid of the older guys right away.

Wow...fantastic show tonight. The jocks...I know they are told how to act but they are just brutal! I am hoping Josh gets a second chance...be tough to get sent home twice.

Partway through and Dante is driving me (and the other guys) crazy!! How did they get the sea lion to GRIN?? I like that she wants to bring out the quiet guys who aren't pushy and all over her.

Ok, have to admit I am watching this show. But do they have to make the good looking guys such jerks? I know it is for "great tv" but come on. It is so "over the top" and played for tv. Of course, I am sure some of them are really that nasty-but it comes off more like bullying. I will continue to watch, however.

More than how to get the sea lion to grin (that's a standard activity at Sea World... when Clyde gets into trouble, he turns to the audience and smiles/smirks!)... how did they get him to know which one to smile at? There was some training stuff that they didn't show us on the show. Clyde is a smart sea lion, but he needs to know his cues. And unless what's his name had a fish sitting at his foot, Clyde wouldn't be able to pick him out. I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure he can't count either. Have to admit though... I pretty much died laughing as Clyde went up to every guy and barked in their faces! TOO funny. The "hunks" are jerks. Anyone who is willing to act like that on national TV is a jerk. Their egos are outta control! Josh sure did clean up quite nicely! I was quite impressed! Anna is a cutie, and I thought I'd really like her. For a change. But her expression when the Joe's all lined up against the jocks kinda soured me on her. I've tuned in to half of last week's show and last night's show purely by accident (as in, there's nothing on TV and I'm flipping channels). I still think the premise of this show is mean. And I keep hoping that, for once, a Joe will be chosen. Then again, I always hope for good things to happen! <wink>

Remember editing and direction. Clyde is cued by the trainer standing behind the Joes (hubby saw him in one quick cut). Anna was probably directed to smile a certain way for something taken out of context. If any of these guys have ever seen Average Joe (and they were familiar with last seasons Joes who put them through the "bootcamp") then they KNEW this was coming. On the other hand, none of the hunks were particularly attractive to me - maybe it's the arrogant personality overshadowing their hair product and oiled pecs? Why is Dante still there? She wants someone who is both softspoken, but confident in the romance department. Ave Joes are not confident (typically) and most could fit into the "geek" category from "Beauty & The Geek" - being unexperienced with women (heck, one is a virgin - but that could be religious choice). Count me as someone who also hopes an Ave Joe "wins" this time. 'squeek'

Wow, I almost totally missed this show last night since the holiday has me off schedule and my tape had run out. I happened on it by chance from flipping channels. I think I missed some of the beginning, so I guess I'll look for it on Bravo when nothing else is on. ITA - Why oh WHY is Dante still there other than the producers (of course) told her to keep him there?!! Obviously, that's why he's there. Are any of us supposed to believe he has an icecubes chance in hell to win her heart?! Yeah right! I kept thinking when they showed the hunks, it was so obvious they were telling them to act really jerky. Too bad they did such a good job of it. I hope after their trashing of the house and guys next week, at least a couple of them have a personality. I also noticed they all seemed really young, although I didn't catch all the ages. That was probably also intentional since maybe it gives them less of a chance to be the "winner." I was surprised she let that one guy go and that Josh did clean up nice. I didn't think it was really all about his looks, but how he acted when he was trying to lighten the mood or was nervous. That was creepy! LOL I think BB is on after that on the OTHER channel so I'll probably continue to watch.

Clyde was a hoot, Costa! And yes, of course there had to be fish or signals involved.. Just as they are stereotyping the Joes, they do a disservice to hunks everywhere by all this trash talk. I cannot imagine Dante being appealing at any time.. she already was upset with him and a couple of others for pawing her and being too aggressive. I can only believe that she has been told she must keep him around. I sort of drifted off (online) toward the end, so didn't see much after the hunks lined up behind the Joes.. AS IF.. they would be so into the fireworks that they would, none of them, notice guys right behind them.. RIIIIGHT! What is sad is that the show seems to bring out the jerk in the Joes instead of bringing out the sweetness in the hunks.

This is the first time I have ever watched this show. The "hunks" ALWAYS win? Poop.

I agree, Sea -- the "hunks" lining up unnoticed and then the perfect lines the two groups silently formed was waaaaaay to contrived. Even for THAT show. Although we are only two episodes in, I much preferred the other seasons to this one. I hope it improves...

DH and I caught a glimpse of a trainer's leg behind the joes in one shot of the seal -- so I'm sure that's how the seal knew when to smile. Last night was the first time I'd watch it, and DH and I both noticed there are some "average" Joes who look nicer than the "hunks"! We figured that would help the "makeover" people -- not as much work to do! LOL

Juju.. so far it has been contrived to end up with one hunk and one Joe and each time I actually thought the girl would choose the Joe, but alas, she didn't.

I can't believe I'm admitting even watching 5 minutes of this dirge! (But I watched all of it) The endless, useless, mind-numbing footage of the "hunks," in their red convertibles. The "hunk" lineup, where no one noticed them, forever. The staring contest which ensued. God, this was the worst ever! And, for sure, Rosie....the seal was definitely the best (only good part) of the show.

I just finished watching this on tape and I must say I had quite a few laugh out loud moments. Here are a few things that stuck out for me: -The seal grin, as many posters have already been talking about. That was hilarious him honking in their faces. The guy who he smiled at said,"The seal kind of made this horrible face" while mimicking. I didn't think it was horrible at all! I even said to myself,"No, he's smiling silly!" LOL I love animals! hee hee -When the Joe's taped up Dante to his bed while he was sleeping. (I think it was Dante)Then they showed him waking up then zoomed to the outside of the house with Godzilla screeches...that totally cracked me up. -How about when they were on the yaht and she asked the Joes,"What would you bring to a deserted Island if you could only bring one thing?" One guy was so sweet and said,"A person." This shows he really charishes companionship. Then there was Igor who said,"A big box of condoms." The guy next to him was like,"Dude, you're going alone..what do ya need with condoms??" It was the stupidest answer I have ever heard! LOL What an idiot!! -It was so dramatic at the end with the fireworks and dramatic music. It was so over the top it had me in stiches. At the beginning of the episode when that guy was trying to get a conspiracy going against the future stud arrivals and they all poo-pooed him for it. I recall one guy saying,"They're not robots, they're human beings." Yet, they looked so robotic when they first strode up behind the Joes and held so still. Geesh this show is killing me. lol This show is way over the top for theatrics, but I'm enjoying and not ashamed to say it! LOL Goooooooooo Joes!

Anyone want to bet the "group" shots of the hot rods were really driven by a team of professional drivers? I just don't think a "random" group of studs who probably spend more time in the gym perfecting their pecs would have the discipline and attention span needed to drive seven hot rods perfectly in formation with one another.

I'd have to agree with you Whoami there is no way they could drive so fast in a straight line. I watched the first set, then whenever they went over to the cars, I fastforward them. lol

I also thought it was funny that, at the beginning of the episode they showed the Joes talking about what to do (or not do) when the Hunks arrived. Yet later, the voice over announcer kept saying, "they have no idea what's coming, and what's in store for them next." Yea, right!

TOTALLY agree Whoami -- Said as much to DH during the show. In the last shot (w/car doing donuts) you can see there are two people in the car if you go in slo mo (yay TIVO). Hot cars -- I'd rather watch them than the so-called hunks they were transporting. LOL

Something has me wondering just how they are doing these "make-overs" with the length the show actually lasts? The first guy didn't have any bones broken, but he still had work done on his face which would cause bruising and swelling. When I've watched those make-over shows, it always takes them so long to heal and look somewhat human. They'll have to do less and less on the makeover if they want to continue to place a joe back in. The timing still seems weird to me. Anyone remember how long they said they take filming this thing?

It takes no time to heal from a little lipo under the jaw; that is the most they have done.
