Has anyone seen this show yet? It's on Fox Reality. If so what do you think of it?

Yeah, I saw it and I'll keep watching -- for a bit, at least. It's an interesting concept to have them competing against themselves. It could get really tacky, though, but I'm hoping they don't go too far. As they said in the "Road to Solitary" special, there's a fine line between a psychological experiment and torturing people for an audience's viewing 'pleasure.'

I have to say that Mensa people aren't looking too great on reality shows lately! LOL

Yes, I watched. Jury is still out with me also. I don't want to see people tortured either. Nancy, You can get Fox Reality on Directv, or Dish. Go to their website and I think they tell you how to petition ypur cable company for it. I watch a lot of Fox Reality. Yesterday they showed an episode of "Meet My Folks". I hadn't seen it. They also showed "Playing it Straight" in it's entirty.

Dangit! I read about this show in my Maxim mag, I thought it looked downright hilarious!! Unfortunately for me, though, no Fox Reality. :-(

Fox Reality's starting to do Podcasts of their shows. So far you can get podcasts of Reality Remix. Check it out!

We just got Fox Reality here in LV on Cox. Call your cable company and ask them to add it.

I like this show so far. Interesting that 2 people hit the panic button already in the first round.

Thanks for the info, Robok! I have digital cable (Comcast) and have sent in a couple of email requests that have thus far gone unheeded. But the pocasts sound great - I've wanted to catch Reality Remix!

This show is so surprisingly good! It belongs on the regular network. #6 hair gel guy is so unlikeable..LOL I was actually little grossed out with his writing on the mirrors with used gel right from his head.

I didn't feel like even one minute of this show was scripted. It's an hour long show, and it feels like it zooms by 15 minutes. Remember watching Unanimous? That 30 minutes felt like 3 hours..LOL

I'm continuing to like this. It's pretty fascinating watching what people will go through and how it challenges their self-imposed limitations. After only a couple of "treatments" they are each making some pretty profound discoveries about themselves and the way they deal with life.

I have to say, though, that Val's voice drives me nuts. I find it irritating and hard to understand because it's so high-pitched in its distortion.

Oh, and it was really interesting that the one guy seemed so certain there was an image of a clown with a knife in that video they had to watch when it was just a distorted clown face dancing around not doing anything particularly menacing. Things that make you go, hmmmm...

I just watched episode 3. OMG, my own body started aching as they were coming to the end of the bed of nails. This show is great. I love how VAL tries to knock hair gel guy's ego down a notch with her comments...LOL And I almost started getting sick myself during the food treatment. I was a little sad at who quit from the food treatment :-( I thought that person was entertaining.


My cable company doesn't carry the channel either, but I found it in usenet in both alt.binaries.multimedia.reality-tv and alt.binaries.tv .

OMG, is anybody still watching this? I am about 1/3 through episode #4 and I swear this is the best reality type torture show EVER....LOL I am literally on the edge of my seat wondering Hair Gel Boy's fate today after his horrible arrogant behavior. This is great stuff people! :-)

ok, going back to finish watching :-)

LOL, Naja. Yeah, I'm still watching and enjoying. Definitely an interesting psychological experiment. I do not envy whoever it is that gives voice to Val. It's got to be hard to respond unemotionally to some of this stuff.

Does anybody want me to create downloads for the first 4 shows? They would be big beautiful crisp files in a great quality of WMV in 150 to 180 MB file size.

Oh, Naja - that would be soooo cool if you could. If it isn't too time consuming, that is. The whole process is a mystery to me, but I always appreciate how you take care of our every video need :-)

No problem Nancy. I should have ep #1 up for you in about an hour. And then the rest to follow every couple hours after that.

Wow - thanks Naja! I'll probably have to wait until I get home to watch them (unless I can think of a plausible reason for my office door to be closed :-) ). I'm looking forward to it, though. The concept intrigues me.

Just be sure to grab them as fast as you can Nancy. Each link will only be good for 100 downloads or 7 days, whichever comes first.

Sorry Nancy! The freakiest thing happened! There was one of those stray cloudburst 2 minute storms here and a single lightening bolt hit and shut off power for like 2 minutes here. I lost the upload, but I restarted it and it's almost done. I would say about 20 more minutes until I post it.
