Another moment that looked scripted is when the outcast guy went and stood underneath the camera with his head lowered, paused, then dramatically turned his head to face the camera. People just don't usually behave like that in real life unless its choreographed.

It does seem put on to me only because the guy who was outcast didn't just say see ya. Why should he care if the money is cut in half if he can't have it. There did not seem to be any incentive for him to stay.

I'm guessing that they have to pay the outcasts a salary.

This is improv. There is no script. You need professional actors to memorize lines and deliver them effectively for that to happen. What tipped their hand was the minister and gay man getting into fight about homosexuality the first episode. The conflict lacked substance and was all loud posturing. It is not believable for any reality player to put religion or politics on the table and alienate themselves. The goal here is to be likeable so you can win the damn money. This show makes no sense. There is no reason for these two characters to stay. They cannot win so why bother? I am waiting for the "honest" truck driver to be exposed for having a prison record. I will continue to watch because it is the biggest reality train wreck, EVER. Well, I don't watch Flavor of Love, so there is that.

It's like the Joe Schmoo show, but we're the Schmoos

I thought I liked the show until I realized I am just in Big Brother withdrawals. This show is just annoying after awhile. I think these people are acting. I was rooting for the truck driver not to win. Not that there is anyone I want to win. He just comes across as thinking he deserves it. I wouldnt vote for him to get it I would piss everyone off.

I get that same feeling! (That they are acting or doing improv or whatever) As a matter of a fact, that's what I came here to post after catching up on my recorded shows.

Improv is a much better description than scripted! Thanks Fruitbat! I wonder if Steve is the Smoo (along with us?). Also wondering what role Jamie is going to have on this thing. Looks like they're making extra effort to have her stand out on the website. Check out the main page, and she's standing front and center with the others in an arc behind her. And her bio pic has the only different backround, and it looks like she was Photo Shopped into that! Unanimous Site

Looks like she was a last minute addition and they did that bio photo down in the underground bunker just before she went into the living quarters. 'squeek'

Hmmmm....that's a possibility. But look at the larger photo on the actual bio page. I'm not a media expert, but it sure looks like a "halo" effect or something (especially around her hair), that makes me think her mugshot outline was cropped out of some other picture and then Photo Shopped into the bunker shot. Or maybe I'm just trying to read into it more than it is! LOL.

Yeah, it does seem like improv and not very good at that.

Ha, my husband sat down with me tonight and 10 minutes in asked what had possessed me to watch such crap. I'm thinking that both Richard and Jamieson look rather familiar. And Richard's reaction to being reinstated definitely seemed very forced and weird. Ir does look like Adam is the outcast next week.

This show is totally wacko and makes no sense. I keep watching, wondering just how much crazier it can get.

Yeah if Richard is an actor, he's a pretty bad one. Maybe that's why the others hate him, because he's terrible at Improv and is blowing their cover.

Okay, I was really buying into this as a real show and not a "schmo" show until you guys suggested it was fake. The outcast guy looked familiar to me, but I just figure he resembles a friend's ex-husband. But after watching last night I'm not buying into it. I think the one woman got up and walked out of the discussion because she was starting to laugh and break character. The characters all seem fake except for the guy who almost got the million and maybe the poker player.

What I want to know is -- when did "outcast" become a verb?

I was using outcast as an adjective describing my noun. Outcast guy. Perhaps I should have included a dash as in outcast-guy to just make it a noun.

Nothing wrong with your post Brenda. Sorry I wasn't clear -- I was referring to the show. I think they were saying stuff like "vote to decide who to outcast".

So what was the BIG SHOCKER that we were supposed to see on this episode? Or is FOX just trying to get in on "the most dramatic rose ceremony ever" vibe?

They probably mean Kellie walking out. As usual, they've exaggerated how shocking this...wasn't.

I think this show is JD Roth's idea of a joke.
