Luvmykitties, from what I understand thefisbowl.com is run by a production company called Creative Light Entertainment (owned by Scott Z. and Rich T., who are huge reality tv fans), who is producing the movie and reality show. I go there all the time to listen to their internet radio shows about reality tv and who are hosted by former reality tv "stars". (they archive the shows, so you can go there and listen any time) Reichen and Toni- host Amazing Race Talk, as Reichen won the Amazing Race and Toni is a huge fan and also wants to be on the show (as does every reality star). Reichen also hosts a show called Coming out With Reichen, about gay issues. Jenna Lewis and Rob C. - Host Survivor Talk. Erika Landin , Josh Souza and Scott Long are now doing Big Brother Talk. Also Josh and Erika do American Idol Talk when that's on. Steven Hill - Hosts Real World Talk. He's taken over for Trishelle who used to host it. Also they have Reality Radio Now- which covers the rest of the reality shows; That's Hot discusses non-reality shows and movies, like Lost; and finally there is the LA Scene where reality people discuss what's happening in LA. If you notice, everyone who hosts a show was given a major part, which I am not sure I agree with. When they first brought up the idea of this show, the premise was to show that Reality Stars can really act if given the chance. My fear now is that they are more concerned with making a good reality show, instead of a good movie. All the people who were picked, for the most part were hosts on the radio shows and Rob C's good friends (Jenna, Ethan and Johnny). I don't think for one minute they picked Tonya for her acting talent. They knew that she would make good reality tv, ie doing stupid/crazy things for attention (she knows how the reality game works) I will keep watching because I do like everyone on the show, but I just am not sure if they picked the most talented. I just a little disappointed that they picked people who are friends, or who had a bigger name in the reality world. I really hope everyone does go by thefishbowl.com it is a great site and you are able to interact with reality stars one on one in the forums or in the chat room during the radio shows.

Toni was on a couple of those Let's Hook Up With 15 Different Partners on an Island shows. She was best known for bugging her eyes out and getting upset about what was happening with other people.

Toni is the only one of the main characters that I hadn't previously seen on reality show/shows and I'm not sorry I missed her! Reichen and Steven are the hot guys, for sure. What is with Stacie the critic? I'd fully expect her to call them if there was over the line racism and of course Reichen would speak up if there were gay slurs; I'd expect that. Does she really expect him to just shut up and deal with it? He wasn't getting all dramatic and threatening to stomp off the set or anything? This could easily be an acting-career killer for any number of these people, huh? I had my question about Jenna Lewis answered above.. so she's at least out of her marriage relationship, but what happened to her originally reality quest being "for my daughters?" Seems like she isn't making them proud with her actions so far. Does she see Steven as marriage/FATHER material? Oh well.. I'm sad to hear that "coincidentally" people got parts who were connected to the money people,especially since that seems to give Toni a vehicle for bad acting, in all senses of that phrase and what on earth is she doing as a director? All the Tonya/Jonny Fairplay parts are just easy FF opportunities. Don't know if I'll watch again, though I'd like to see how some of the people work out . Reichen has good taste in cats, so says my Critter.

Can't say that I totally agree with ya, Frogichik. The females with the largest parts had nothing to do with TFB before auditions. I've heard Steven Hill is an awesome actor, and hopefully we'll see this. Toni given a major part? 10 minutes? Don't think so. Anyway we had fun, other than a couple of immature people trolling in the chatroom. Next week the show starts showing the filming, so I am expecting it to be better, bringing it more together with the movie. It's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea, but it is fun seeing these people working again.

Thank you for the explanation Frogichick. That seems to make sense. Seems to be a cross promotion type thing. That doesn't bother me, if the show continues to entertain me. I can't comment on anyone's acting, because we didn't see everyone's full auditions, so time will tell. It would be interesting if Fishbowl put up everyone's full audition tapes. :-) That would be a better gauge as to who really had the best acting potential.

Ladytex, its probably a coincidence, but I just found it strange that they said over 150 reality stars tried out for the show and the "best" actors all happen to work at the Fishbowl. I do like all of them, but it just seemed a little contrived. I really like Steven, Jenna and Toni. I didn't like them on their shows, but I have grown to really like them as people from listening to their radio shows. Your able to see their genuine personalities come out more. Steve and Jenna are so cute together, I do hope it works out with them for real. Steven really is sweet guy who gets a bad rap. Poor Toni, I hated to see her like that on the show. She really has the biggest heart and takes all the reality people under her wing. I asked her on the chat yesterday if any of what we saw on the so was a ploy to get more airtime on the reality show, but she said no, it was legit. I hoped she was going to say yes. I will keep watching, but I hope they will focus more on acting and less on Johnny Fairplay and Tonya's antics. It's not entertaining to watch Tonya self destruct over and over. It's just sad.

I loved the show! Toni is <> but I'd expect nothing less, I mean, she is Toni from Paradise Hotel. Now come on, think people.. remember that show? <> Remember the "originals" versus the "newbies" or whatever, the nerdy guy David and Chantelle.. yikes I know I got those two names wrong but that was the cattyest show ever, I LOVED IT! lol... seems like Toni is living up to her PH image. There was a part where Toni went to that bald guy to complain about her small part and he acknowledged that the bigger reality stars got the better parts and she just wasn't well known enough... so that explains Tonya and Jenna and all of them really. Steven is gorgeous and fabulous... but Jenna and him? No way. I think he's only looking at her twice cuz she's his female lead and he wants it to be real, otherwise there's no way I think they'd ever date. She seems much older than him too, I guess cuz he was a RW kid and I think of him as so much younger, and Jenna was so annoying in Survivor All Stars, just don't like her that much. Trishelle looks great... she doesn't seem to have that double chin that always annoyed me, she looks better than ever, seems reality has done good things for her, I think she's grown up a lot, well I hope so at least. Tonya... well, I'm just glad she's got Jonny to play with and have attention from cuz she needs it. Can't wait for eppy 2! <QT>

I never saw Paradise Hotel, luckly. I do think Steven is younger than Jenna and how old are her daughters?? Just doesn't look like a potential hookkup.. well a hookup but not a relationship. Tonya looked good with the shorter hair, I suppose a wig.. But I saw at one of Ladytex's links that Ruthie (RW Hawaii) might be in it? I'll stick around to see that..

I watched with some trepidation. I wasn't sure what to expect, didn't know who any of the "Real" folks are, but managed to catch parts of "Paradise Hotel." That Tonya sure is a piece of work. And what the heck does she see in Johnny Fairplay? (Who, you may be interested to know, I wouldn't bed if he were the last man on earth and the future of the entire human race was at stake!) Toni seems to be doing the same old thing. Rob's line about her was priceless. I would've cut her immediately, as soon as she started whining. I'm not sure I care enough about these reality stars. And some of them really don't seem like they can act. I loved how Trishelle could cry on command, but the others? If they were cast to prove they can act, they may be in for a rude awakening. Interesting premise though.

Seamonkey, Jenna Lewis's twin girls are 8. She married some young male model in Las Vegas, made a sex tape with him, then supposingly sold it over the internet~Jenna claims she had no hand in releasing the tape~her ex said he didn't release it either..she's a walking soap opera!!!

Costacat, I think Tonya sees someone willing to pay attention to her in Jonny Fairplay... seems that's all Tonya really wants or more likely needs...

Hmm well at least she got paid for her tape. Steven.. ok he was paid the stipend to be on RW and that got him gigs on the challenge and this show, but he also had sex on tape. Maybe they're a match?

Steven also was married. He was in the process of a divorce when on Real World. He brought that up a few times during the season. And actually, I think Steven & Jenna are pretty close in age. He was 24 during his RW season in 2002, so he would be about 27 or 28 now. According to Jenna's bio on IMDB, she was born in 1977 which would make her around 28.

The one good thing I like about this show is that I always really liked Rob C. and his intelligence and humor. For his sake, and no one else's, I hope this works out the way he wants. I can't find anything else nice to say so I won't say anything beyond that.

Kappy, I had the same reaction that you did. I really liked Rob C. on Survivor and I liked seeing him on here as well. I hope that he does see some type of success in the future.
