I watch the first 15 mins of it and then hit record on the DVR. I got thru the mother rattling off the kind of girls she didn't want her baby to have and I just about gagged. I was dumbstruck that she was so nonchalant about it, that I had to turn it off and decide to watch it later. It was just something I could not stomach last night.

I wasn't expecting the racial nastiness that that mother spouted. I really thought the show was going to be more silly and fluff. I feel sorry for her son....how humiliating!

I had seen several articles about it so I turned it off before she even got on. Disgusting! And I am really ashamed that NBC didn't kick her off the show immediately.

Has anyone seen this trainwreck? The one mother who's against blacks, Asians, Jews, etc., will be so much fun to live with. Unbelievable.

I saw it and I cannot believe that one <100> mother. She is awful and I sure would NEVER want her for my mother-in-law. All of the girls seemed upset over her remarks, rightfully so. One of the black girls was so mad that she said she said that she was going after her son just to get back at her and in the previews for next week it shows Mom flying in a helicopter over a swimming pool that her sonny boy was in making out with one of the black girls and Mom was very very upset. I would be mortified if that was my Mother acting that way. I don't think I would want any of those wussy guys. One of them actually told his mother that no matter what she would always come first!!!!!!! Puzzled, I agree it is a trainwreck...but it is kind of like an accident, you don't really want to see it but you can't help but look.

I only watched the first few minutes, but my main thought was that the men weren't big prizes. And I am sure that the <1000> mom storyline is designed for an on-camera change of heart...but who cares? Didn't get my attention and I hope it doesn't get anyone else's. People like that bore me and I don't care to be around them....even on tv.

Country, they are all self-professed "momma's boys", so of course at least one is going to put momma first. I liked hockey boy the best, Jewish one second, the "hot" one third. The Jewish mom was the best. Reminded me of my grandmother. Hockey boy's mom is a bit much. I'm sure most mothers have a vision of who their precious little boy should be with and don't want to accept things that are "different" or things that will maybe cause "discomfort" for their boy (such as mixed couples are sometimes not treated well and the kids are picked on), but it's kind of up to the son and his heart as to who he's with. I think the mom will bend in the end after she gets to know the girls. The girl who kept giggling was pretty annoying.

You're right, Countrydaze, that's just what it's like. Still, it's Shakespeare compared to Tila Tequila.

It was a deliciously trashy trainwreck. But I couldn't look away. At least it is a reality show to watch till the others start in January.

Is the Mom who didn't want anyone from a different nationality or religion for her son really from Iraq? What if others didn't want their daughter dating a guy whose mother is from Iraq? What is she thinking? I love the gal who said she would make it her mission to get him to like her. Looks like it's working from the previews, lol.

thats whats so funny about that that lady. she doesnt want any intermingling yet she is arab. wouldnt arab and white be intermingling? also look at her last name, does it appear to maybe be polish? if so she did her own intermingling. also there is no girl for her son, because even if u are white, then u have to follow her religion, then if those 2 match, then u cant be too tall or too fat etc. there is 1 girl on there who was on paris hiltons bff show. michelle a tall blonde. i love megan, she could do my dishes anytime!

10 got eliminated the first hour and I think 5 were eliminated the second. Iraq mother is the most overbearing, but none of those mothers are prizes. I wouldn't want to marry into their families, for sure.

Well the one who decided she'd get Mrs. B's son went home in the second wave.. while I don't care for the mom, that was hardly a way to start with the son, by being antagonistic to the mom and announcing to HER that she was taking her sone and would be her DIL. And really, with his mother, that is likely to be a strike against him with any of the women. Megan, the timid one.. I thought she was adorable and the one guy (actually I think it was Jojo, the one with THE MOM??) really did want her to stay and the other girls too went to great lengths to keep her around, gave her a makeover and all.. anyway, she just couldn't decide to stay, I'm guessing she was overwhelmed (she didn't get a YES text.. that is how they announce choices.. each woman gets a YES we want you to stay text or a No, sorry text or the meet the guys at the pool for questioning. Megan went to the pool both times and would have been kept both, but... she decided to leave. But in real life she'd be someone worth pursuing.. IF.. they didn't want kids. She was questioned by the other dark haired guy about that or his mom and she asked him if he wanted kids, he does and Megan doesn't (this is the Megan doing all the cleaning and looking so meek at first) They eliminated 10 tonight, then had a competition where the women had to do strength/endurance tests and four were given immunity. What was really funny is then the three guys went through the same course and about DIED.. one even had to be taken off in an ambulance..LOL.. Then each guy had a "date" with all of them.. the hockey player took them to a hockey rink, the firefighter had them do firefighter drills and the other one took them to a winery. In each case they chose one girl for a one on one date. Jojo's mom (he's the hockey player) literally jumped in the hot tub while he was making out with the girl he chose (she didn't like her). Long haired mom was pretty whiney about her son.. he is atrracted to blondes with implants.. not her choice. It is almost like the three guys really aren't ready for ANY committment and are just on the show to rebel against their totally overinvolved mothers. After the three group/individual dates the guys eliminated another round.

I think some of the Mom's problems is that they were chosen to go on this show (maybe with the encouragement of their sons) and then if the son's are ignoring their opinions and advice, they feel like 'what are they doing there then'. That is unless it's all scripted anyway.

I think most of the girls are there for the exposure on tv, certainly not for the uplifting tone and respect they are being shown!! Texting someone to get them to leave? Having guys who probably havent dated that much juding whether you are worthy? The women should all rise up and walk off, but that aint going to happen. It would really be intersting if some older men showed up to romance those mothers(who dont seem to have any men in their lives, hence the abnormal interest in their sons) and give them something to do besides meddle.

Unfortunately, Megan was a complete plant. She's a professional actress. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3163113/ It is almost like the three guys really aren't ready for ANY committment and are just on the show to rebel against their totally overinvolved mothers. Very good, Sea, that's exactly what it's like. These guys are all too young to be seriously looking for wives.

Next week will be hilarious as they will bring the dirt on these gals...similar to how they did it on Who Wants to Marry My Dad. The previews showed they have background dirt on the girls. The looks on many of these girls faces was priceless. The Penthouse girl looked shocked. None of the guys seem too unpleasant. Unless they want the TV expousure, I have no idea why they are there...unless mommy made them.
