Dfng, the downloads are only good for 100 downloads or 7 days, whichever comes first, so I am pretty sure it was all used up by yesterday.

I'm in the middle of uploading ep 5 right now, and I'll re-upload ep 4 for you a little later. Each one takes a couple hours to upload. The big 350 MB xvid avi originals are posted in alt.binaries.tv in usenet.

Yay! Episode 5 coming up!! Hope it is still under 100 d/l when I get home tonight :-)

At the risk of sounding like a broken record...THANK YOU, NAJA!! (and I so covet your computer set-up. Not that I would know what to do with all of it. I picture you sitting in a room with a ton of equipment like Neo in The Matrix)

LOL Nancy :-) I think I have pretty much normal set-ups except I don't have desk top speakers. I have it wired into the big living room stereo receiver, and the s-video out from the video card hooked into the tv where I have it set automatically play videos full screen on the tv that I click on the pc.

And as for getting the videos and converting them, the fastest converter on the planet is winavi video converter.. and for downloading the videos, azureus for torrents, grabit for usenet.

I am actually suffering this past couple of weeks because I am doing everything on my old Dell because I needed some new parts on my better computer. The fan broke on my video card causing part of the mobo to become damaged, as well as killing the video card. It's all ready except I am awaiting delivering of one more part (hopefully it comes today). The difference between the older pc and the newer one is for instance: If I take one of those 45 minute 350 MB usenet avis and convert it to a wmv, it takes about 45 minutes on the older computer, but on the newer one it takes about 12-17 minutes. It's killing me waiting to get it hooked up again..LOL This older Dell I am on right now is usually down in the rec room, but now I have it up here in the livingroom until I get the better one fixed. I swear that part I need better show up today.


About 25 more mb's to upload for ep 5

HAHAHA, I am just now watching ep 5 myself.

OMG, I don't know if anybody here has ever worked in a store where you have to prepare for an audit, but how they felt after about the 5th try counting those balls is how I used to feel by about 4 AM at the store, the morning of the audit, after having already been there for 18 hours...LOL

Wow, Naja! You speak Greek, too? So many talents :-) Juuust kidding. I understand 40-60% of what you said, but not enough to know how to make it work with my system. Plus my TV and computer are in two separate rooms. But at least I have my new system this year (160GB hard drive with an automatic ghosted drive and 1GB RAM) to replace my old system from 1999. I'd still be waiting for episode 1 to download...

I love this show. I want to know how the hula hoop girl spun w/o getting dizzy. She said she stayed on the edge of the seat -- what did that have to do w/anything? (Gonna' have to get a chair out and try it, I suppose! LOL)

The bouncy balls cracked me up. Such a simple thing as counting -- but it's like TAR -- whenever you count under pressure (and then w/someone else counting too) you almost always get the wrong answer! Why didn't they all just put them in piles of 10?? It doesn't seem like that would be any slower than counting them separately? (i know a couple tried w/5s and 10s - -wonder why it didn't work. Wish we could have seen more!)

Thanks again Naja - that show was a hoot - The sound effects was not that pleasant, but I cracked up when Val started random numbers, then the darkness, than the blinking lights. Then to have people twiring themselves in chairs was pretty funny. The dancer did have a very big advantage, they are trained to focus on a fixed spot so ans not to get dizzy.

Hi Realnut, ep #6 doesn't air until Monday night, July 10, and then the download doesn't appear in usenet until late that Tuesday night or Wednesday during the day. Then I post it as soon as I can.

Enjoyed the show this week. I've come to appreciate it when they don't go "until someone vomits"! The puzzle, especially, was fun to watch. This is a fun show -- mainly because the competition is so isolated that we truly get to see how people react; they aren't just playing off their components and trying to fly under the radar. I don't think there IS such a thing as FUR in this show.

Did anybody watch this week? I am curious on your thought of the tasks compared to other weeks.

This was the drink hot stuff and then figure out the word puzzle, right?

I think they WERE as difficult, but because one was a "sensory" challenge and one was a "My legs are going to fall off" challenge, WE couldn't feel how difficult they really were.

Try it -- go stick three slices of jalapeno in your mouth for 60 seconds. Do it again -- 18 times more w/hotter and hotter peppers, and only use bread or rice or water ONCE. I think we'd see this was NOT fun! It also has the mental challenge aspect -- how long do they have to wait until they're *sure* someone else has quit??

The eliptical one and only 40 seconds to follow clues also appeared tough. It probably started out easily enough, but again, after a couple of hours, it would be killer. As a couch potato, I can say this with certainty! LOL

Honestly, I just appreciated the fact that they FINALLY had a challenge that didn't go until someone puked!:-)

The hotness test was quite cruel, but that might be how much it would take out of me. It seemed to be the biggest physical torture since the bed of nails.

The word puzzle was interesting in that if you exhausted your self by peddling(? is this better than calling it stairing), you would be too tired to think straight. I enjoyed the puzzle part, but would have never survived the hot liquid. I wish she tried more antidotes before giving up.

Yeah, I guess the hotness test would be very difficult. Now that I think about it, it reminds me of that one challenge on Survivor where they had to eat that supposed delicacy of raw fish that had been rotting in the sun for 3 days while marinating in sea water. Now I thought that was a horribly dull competition as far as being the viewer. But when they were all asked in post interviews what was the worst competition, that one was always brought up. So I guess I really meant it was the dullest to watch for me.

Maybe you are just not into pain, Naja.

I do enjoy the mental acuty test better myself. The sound test was annoying, as well, but I guess they need some torture to make is seem more tortuous.

I think I would really enjoy this show. Unfortunately I have only been able to watch a couple of episodes because I have a weak constitution for seeing/hearing anyone vomit. For the life of me, I don't understand why so many of these reality shows include that, I see absolutely NO entertainment value in it. So I have to come on here to read about the show before I can watch it. I have the eps saved on tivo, but end up erasing most of them. C'mon producers, surely you can come up with more intellectual challenges versus ones that involve how much their stomachs can take!
