When does this show air? I saw a mini-marathon of it and it looks interesting. But I never seem to stumble upon the regular airings (or the repeats as I assume it repeats a time or two during the week). I had to watch for a while until they revealed that one guy was from Survivor. I knew I had seen him before and it was driving me nuts. I can't beleive they ate all that gross stuff a few episodes ago!

New episodes air on Fox Reality on Saturday evening. By the way, Fox Reality seems to have messed up and aired the new episode (scheduled for 9/15) last Sunday morning (9/9), so I already know who the next one eliminated is! I'll keep my mouth shut for all of you!

RE: Torture I really never thought of this as torture since they can quit when they feel like it. I always thought of it more like pushing their own personal limits.

That's exactly how I look at it too, Naja. I love this show the way I love TAR. There's no being voted out. There's no one to blame but yourself if you leave. You are your very best ally, and your biggest competition. And the very principal of the show is to strip away any preconceptions you may have had about yourself... it's easy to tell yourself that you're strong, durable, tough, etc. It's something completely different to dig deep and prove it.

Torture in the sense that these are all torturous tasks.They can leave anytime, but tostay they have to test their limits with unpleasant tasks. I really think the show is very positive (note - see above). I have to admit being a little unhappy with giving them a bid item of additional tests for another Pod person. It all seemed to work though.

Naja's downloads got me hooked last year and I love this show. It's all about pushing yourself to the limit. I just wish the contestants won more money, they deserve it. Oh, and I'm for #9 all the way. He entertains me.

I am thinking that maybe it is so rewarding because they are doing it for not so much money. Maybe like in life, money currpts in reality shows.

OMG I had tears pouring down my face for this last episode. #8: Hey Val! Mrph ungamah klimhp yeh? Val: I am sorry. That is not a language I recognize. #8: (cries and enunciates) Did. Anyone. Quit. Yet.??? Val: I cannot divulge that information. #8: No! You tell me right now! Whatever it is. TEll me right now. Val: I will be happy to tell you. All you have to do is hit the red button. #8: (screams) I hate you!!! Val: Of course if you hit the red button, your time in solitary could be over. #8: Val, why are you doing this to me?? Val: You are in complete control of your own fate. #8: This sucks. Val: I agree, this rocks! #8: Uh uh! This sucks! Val: This rocks! #8: (cries) You are a f--'n ! Val: You want to give me a kiss? #8: No! You are --- (bleep bleep bleep) Val: I couldn't have said it better myself. Oh my, that was the funniest thing I've seen in ages. I'm so surprised that #9 is out. Guess I'm cheering for Toby Maguire now. Or the masochist.

I was waiting to respond until everyone had it downloaded. I was so sad to see #9 Survivor guy leave Did anybody else feel like his attacks were unfair? I sorta did. NO way a single other one of them left could have endured what he did, so it made me feel like it was unfair.

I keep on missing this show, but Time Warner has all of season one on On Demand if anyone is interested. I saw a couple of episodes for this season, and really didn't like the idea of them changing the voice to a woman's rather than the robotic voice of Val in the first year.

I will really miss JP. He is such a reality fan and he actually loves this show. Nice interview. Thanks for posting Naja.

I think I have been cheering for mr. submarine guy, perfect body type to win this - wirey and used to confined spaces. I think he isthin enough that he has less weight per square inch on exposed body type (nail like challenges), yet enough strength for the strength challenges. Being thin, the heat would not bother him as much as the cold might have.

I'm cheering for #7. #3 is quite annoying. I can't wait to see her give up.

My favorite line of the season has been "son of a bi*ch!" When #7 said it the first couple times w/ the shake challenge, I cracked up. After the next couple episodes, it appears this is "his" swear word. It makes me chuckle every time I hear it - even though those challenges have been brutal!

I meant the last one meaning the last one shown, not the last as in final.

Oh, yeah, The last one that aired is fine to talk about, I guess. I was thinking you meant the final episode (or I guess I'm assuming next episode is the finale, but that may not even be true). Does anyone know how many episodes are left? Does that sentence even make sense? LOL I'm tired.
