Hey, Hey...My first time starting a new thread!!!

Anyone watch this last night??

It looks to be a fun premise as long as the couples don't start getting nasty with each other.

My first thoughts on last night's show:
Thought the kiss on the cheek game was gonna be much more difficult than it was...all but one couple got it and I'm convinced that most of them must have gone by the scent of thier wives. Now a kiss on the lips would be easy to distinguish but on the cheek I think it would be pretty hard. Except for one couple (sorry, don't know all thier names yet) that when she kissed him you could tell she puckered up a bit differently then when she pecked at the others.

The Holmes' (Oh yeah...I remember them allright) are my least fav couple...why you ask? I was floored when he said she was a man in female form...she burps, farts, snores...etc. That was just totally rude and really a bit unbelievable from a newlywed, though she didn't seem to have a problem with it. And of course she was the first one to be bleeped....<76>

As to the East Indian couple...while I can't blame them for not wanting all their personal business aired for the general public to see and hear, I guess I felt they were a little bit standoffish. If you agreed to play the game then play it darn it!!! I wasn't surprised that they came in last for the driving event and thought for sure they would be voted off first...but then again we don't see all of thier interactions with the other couples.

I wasn't surprised as to the two couples that were up to be eliminated. The older couple probably just don't fit in with such a younger crowd but I had to laugh at each of them being married three times each and so sure this one would stick...even the host got in a few good quips on that one.

I felt sorry for the couple that got eliminated since she was the one who didn't want to take the money in the first place. He seemed very pragmatic about the whole thing and had a good attitude...what the hay...$10 G's is better that a poke in the eye and there's nothing saying that any of the other couples will get anything when they depart.

The driving challenge?? What a hoot!! I think only newlyweds could pull that off with out totally going ballistic with each other....LOL

Any thoughts??

I thought it was a cute show. I liked the couples and found it nice that they all seemed to be decent people for a change. The comment about the burping, etc, didn't bother me because she laughed it off and it didn't seem to bother her. I agree about the Indian couple. This whole game seemed to go against everything they are about. I wonder why they agreed to be on it.

The driving challenge was hilarious. I was trying to picture my husband and I doing it and we'd have been dead in the water and we've been married for almost 28 years!

Loved it! BUT my fave couple was voted off. Boohoo! And I find the host a bit annoying.

Anyone watch last night? I really liked it. I felt kind of bad for the couple who got booted this week. I still think they should have gotten rid of the couple who have each been married 3 times. lol

Miz I am really looking forward to this show, if yesterday's ep set the tone. Even with the sex therapist there, there was nothing racy about it, compared to the sleazefest that is BB.

I almost didn't watch I had seen the commercials for it and it looked lame. I watched and liked it in a milkshake way.

I always say any reality that is cast well will be a fun watch. And they cast this well.

Once the couple took the 10k I knew they were gone. I liked them too but if they wanted to stay they should have known better.

I don't mind the host, he sorta reminds me of the guy that hosted The Newlywed Game.

I'm not sure if my husband and I were in the car challenge if we'd have come in first or last...I know it would have been either.

I'll watch again.

I bet no other couples will take the $$$$ after last week. That is unless they are ready to go home.

The only thing I don't care for is the "voting off" aspect. I mean, we have enough of that with Survivor and BB. Why couldn't they have had some kind of point system along with the challenges? The couple with the lowest points would go home. I just hate that it is going to turn into another "who likes who" type of game.

They deserved to go home. Who takes $10,000 in lieu of immunity towards $300,000?

I agree with you, Imbewitched. They could also let the contests be worth money and how they place is how much money they make. At the end, the highest moneymakers face off against each other for the big prize.

Ya, but wouldn't you want to keep the players who will contribute more to the pot? That would be my reasoning when deciding on who to vote out.

I also agree with you Imbewitched, I don't like the aspect of 'voting off'. I too wish it was a point system or something.

did anyone watch last night. I fell asleep and didn't see who got voted out. Actually, I fell asleep about 10 mins into the dang show so if someone could provide a recap - I would be very grateful.

Last night's show was pretty funny. The first challenge separated the men and women. The women had 10 things changed about them such as booty inserts, boob inserts, contact lenses in different eye color, nails polished, toe nails polished, etc. I can't remember all 10.

While the women were being "changed" each man had to practice roasting his wife. They had to write down bad/nasty/mean things to say about their wives.

Then the women came out on stage and the men had 60 seconds to write down all the changes that were made to their wives. Most of the men got 4-5 right. The men got a total of 28 correct answers so $28,000 was added to the ending winnings.

Then each couple went on stage and the men performed their roast. Most of the wives were good sports about it except for the last couple. Sorry I can't remember their name.

The immunity challenge was dancing the tango. Two professional dancers from "Dancing with the Stars" worked with the couples and Kari Ann from the same show judged the couples. The black couple (can't remember their name either) won immunity. They were offered $15,000 to give up their immunity. Unlike the couple on the first episode, they declined.

The couple with the arranged marriage was eliminated. Please forgive me, I'm still not familiar with the names.

I loved last nights show...I'm watching it now and I'm about half way through and I had to come on here to say a few things....

The last couple are Mr. & Mrs. Freeze (sp?) and the wife is VERY controlling to the point that the husband seems frightened of her and has to walk on eggshells with her!!

The first couple who did the roast, the couple where last episode he was telling us all about how his wife is a woman, really layed it on thick. She took it well but jokingly said he would pay for it for weeks! lol

Anyway, I won't get to watch the other half till tonight as my daughter just woke from a nap but really looking forward to it!!

Does anyone remember which of the couples...well which wife of the couples made her husband sleep on the floor? That seemed so unusual to me and I don't think that is the first time he's been banned to the floor.

The Fries are Cody and the blond Barbie doll look alike. He was really freaked out and afraid of her and it ended up being pretty funny, thanks to him drinking a bunch before he got on stage. I don't think he would have had the guts to say much, had he not had those drinks. She was pissed.

The one who made her husband sleep on the floor is the couple where the husband is constantly saying his wife stinks and that she farts all the time. His name is Lance, and I forget her name. (Weird that I am remember guy names and not girls).

I really love Johnnie and Crystal, the couple who won last night. They are my favorite.

The couple who had the prearranged marriage were the ones kicked off. Bawaha or something like that.

Just finished watching. Good show, I'm really enjoying it.

I was surprised the Holmes were in the bottom 2. I can only think they're threatened by them.

I thought it was pretty funny. I laughed when the gassy chick told her hub that he 'didn't roast her properly' and made him sleep on the floor LOL
