It was last night at 6 and 9 EST on Fox Reality.

BRIEF SUMMARY/SPOILER

Started out asking if they wanted sleep. They could, but there are no longer mattresses, just the wood bed, and the pillow was tacked to the bed frame. The girl ended up sleeping on the floor.

For the "immunity" challenge, they had to dunk their heads under water for 10 seconds -- then the selection to be memorized would appear once on their screen. They had to keep doing that until the could recite the entire thing. Teacher man won immunity.

The challenge for elimination involved the martial arts teacher and the other girl doing "Circuits" in their room pushing 3 big buttons on the wall (w/the green one being last -- right by the red one). They had to do so many circuits in a limited time. Then -- not only did they increase the circuits (and generally the time), they had to put on backpacks and the weight kept going up. The weights were adjusted to fit their proportions (man carried more than woman). They were both cramping up in their legs and really struggling at the end --

and of course, we have NO idea who wins, because that will be on next week's show.

The teacher is for sure in the F2, so whoever wins the circuit/weight carrying challenge will be the other one.

Hi, I am holding my hand up to block and avoid the spoiler. I am not sure what's in it but if you let those of who have to download the show 1 or 3 days after air know anything, that's evil!..LOL It's hard to do punctuation ands caps with one hand. Teach, if you spoil next week, can you please hide it with the built in board spoiler hider? I think most of us have to download the show in this thread and can't see it until 1 or 3 days later.

Thank you, Naja. I realized too late that it was this weeks ep. that was being spoiled. Although, to be fair to Teach, the board rules are fair game to discuss once it's aired...

For sure, Karen! As far as I am concerned, once anything airs it's legally fair game. I was just trying to put out a fluffy happy thinger from those of us who download :-)

Whoops! Sorry gals! Technically it wasn't a spoiler since it had aired, but I'll use the "spoiler" code (after I look it back up! LOL) next time. Better yet, I'll just wait for Naja's uploads! :-)

For the life of me I couldn't figure out how long this show actually took to make. I mean how long they actually lived in the pods. But then I noticed #5 mentioned his hair growing back. If he hasn't been able to shave his head since he entered the pod, then I would guess they couldn't have been in the pod longer than 3 or 4 days, judging by how much his hair has grown back.

Naja (or anyone here with copies) -- I don't want to ask you to reupload them again.... my BF accidentally deleted the folder form our computer with the first six episodes, just as we were preparing to burn copies for the friends who are asking to see this show.

If I send some blank CDs and return postage... is anyone willing to burn these first six to disc and ship them back to me? I would be forever in your debt...!!

It has to be morethan 3 or 4 days - each treament lasts around 4 hours and you would think it would be too hard to have more than one a day. Then there are the other puzzles where they try and be immune from treatment and each of them last quite a while and are hard. I think it has to be at least the seventh day, if not the 10th.

Having them dip thier heads in water when the temperature is 50 degrees is harsh.

The running test - is it fair - {well are any of the tests fair} - when some people have much longer legs?

I didn't think the running test was fair, either, Sadiesmom...for that same reason. And I guess you're right. 7 days seems more feasible.

Karen, do you have DVD-Rom? I am willing to send you the eps on disk, but if you have a DVD-Rom, then I can send them all to you on a single data DVD instead of multiple CDs.

I agree the running test would have been much harder for those with shorter legs. I did like, however, how they weighed each of them down based on body weight -- that they weren't all carrying ten, then twenty, then thirty pounds...

I loved the memorization puzzle. The fact that much of it didn't make sense, and repeated in odd places, would have made it harder still. This whole show is brilliant.

Naja -- thank you! DVDrom is just as good as CDs for me. Send me a PM with your address and I'll ship you a blank disc and a postage paid envelope home to me. Many thanks!!

Not yet. It hasn't been posted in Usenet yet. Last week it wasn't up in Usenet until very late Wednesday. I keep checking every hour or so.

Kiersten_love, there's one problem with that show. It's not really new. It actually aired in the UK last March and was available for download then. Now all the seeds are dead and no one appears interested in re-seeding. But I will keep my eyes open to see if anybody makes it available.


Episode 8 of Solitary is uploading now. I should be posting it in an hour or so. They tricked us. It's not the last show. Next Monday is the reunion show.

The best part of that ending was, "...let's just wait until my next nine guests arrive..." Foreshadowing for a season 2? I'm game for another! Bring on the crazy!

My thoughts on the finale (includes mention of winner, so don't come crying to me if you couldn't control yourself and clicked anyways...:-))
Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler
I thought Val said she wasn't going to tell the other person when they'd won. I was not a fan of the teacher and was hoping Val would keep him in there for hours. Although, I wasn't much a fan of the Buddhist guy either -- there's an awful lot of negative energy there for a Buddhist. I was really, really hoping Number 3 would win. She was such a cutie. And I think she took the most away from the experience... her reaction to it all was exactly what the producers / creators were looking for, a complete intrinsic evaluation.


It's so funny -- I've never watched a reality show before where I haven't known any of the contestants' names. LOL -- oh, wait.... TAR: Family Edition.

I enjoyed the finale - I liked the way they reviewed the tests and felt that more than the other issues, there was a feeling of solitariness to the last test. Being cut off with no information.

I liked the way that the show ended positively.

I also realize that I would have been chopped meat on this show ans would have been the first out of any test, except the ball counting - for some reason, I think that would have been my best moment. Maybe that is because my younger brother always shouted out random numbers when ever I tried to count anything.
