Starting a thread for Season Two. (Somehow I managed to miss the first season!) This appears to be a moderately enjoyable show. The couples are all nice. Light 'n fluffy and perfect for the summer! On Monday, the Smiths were voted out. They were the ones who won the $10K and had to choose to keep the money and lose immunity or turn in the money and stay safe. The kept the money. Good thing, too! I think they would also have been strong competition, though, since they'd managed to add money to the pot. I like this concept of doing tasks to add money to the pot, and the winner takes all. It's in everyone's best interest to do their best on all challenges in case THEY win.

Thanks for starting this Costa. As I mentioned in the general thread I have it recorded but I haven't seen it yet. Based on your comments I think we'll take a look at it.

abc mondays at 10pm what i like about this show is that it is light fare. some shows i watch are cringe worthy so its a nice change of pace with this show. the wife of the couple who took he $10,000 definitely can not pull off using the word beotch. lol

I watched and will again because I really liked last season. But I was half asleep watching and don't remember a whole lot. The questions were fun since it was the start of which couples might start allying.

LOL I thought the same thing! hahaha I think this show can be hysterical. I remember last year, I really liked it. The Smiths obviously didn't see last year or they wouldn't have taken the money.

The promos that ran for this show during the latest episode of "The Bachelorette" convinced me that not only would the show be unsuitable for family watching, but it will be too crude for me to be interested in watching. It's hard to let my 10-yr-old watch "The Bachelorette" with promos like the one for "Newlyweds" embedded within the show.

I would think it'd be better for a kid to watch the newlywed show than the bachelorette. At least they are all married whereas on those bachelor/bachelorette shows the main person is exchanging lots of spit and more with every person there. And who knows what they are exchanging in the hot tubs.

Why would you let a 10 year old watch a show about newlyweds that is on at 10pm? I would think pretty much anything on in that time slot is NOT appropriate for a 10 year old. But yes, at least they are married and only boinking their spouses, rather than swapping spit with everyone else in sight.

This is my first season for this one. I think it is just as cute as it can be. The host makes me giggle and the Asian couple are so cute. Like someone said above, light and fluffy, perfect.

I was wondering why the couple who got sent home last night did. I can't remember if she earned any $$ for picking out her hubby's bodankadank. I thought they were a cute couple and would've liked to have seen them last a bit longer.

I just finished watching it, and my best guess is it was the "fear of the perceived threat" thing that got them kicked. I liked them too - and personally would like to see that couple who's wife hit him in the nuts. So out-of-control. I seriously couldn't believe when she did that.

Yeah, that couple seems to be threatened by everyone. She was the one uncomfortable with the sex talk, too. I think she's behind getting the couple who left ousted, too.

I think part of the reason the couple left is some of them felt he was too much. He was always flexing his muscles and I think intimidated some of them. One of the couples made the comment that she doesn't even know their names and just called them "what's her name".

I wish they would show who everyone voted for to go home. I was hoping the other couple would go home. She is really whiney and did nothing to help with the bugs I love Pat. He is a great host. Mrs McMorris and the butts were funny Dr Ruth looked fantastic ! I haven't seen her for years , she must be getting up there in age

They need to get rid of the couple where the wife has red hair and is a punk rocker. I feel that she is the one who kept getting the ones who got sent home nominated. She can't stand the wife for some reason. I really liked them and can't wait until Red is in the bottom two. Lurkin, I also wish they would show all the votes. They air some of the people saying who they are voting for, but not all.

Cricket, the wife with the red hair is the one I dislike the most. I pretty much like all of the rest of the newlyweds. There is something about red-headed wife that rubs me the wrong way.

I like the Mormon couple the best at this point I think, but really I like them all except for the red hair wife couple. Last night was cute. Go Dr. Ruth. I loved the butt challenge. The husbands afraid of spider thing always makes me smile. I love mindless entertainment.

I was a little sad at who went home tonight. I think a couple of them were shocked at who left.

I watched this finally last night and I thought it was really enjoyable. I like the McMorris couple a lot. They were too funny doing the Lil Wayne impersonation. I was surprised who went home, and I thought their little confessional thing after the boot was really cute, but the wife was really a bit too precious IMHO.

I didn't like who went home, either. I think the Mormon couple wife (I don't remember their name) maybe instigated them going. She was trying to get everyone to vote off the Ieta (not sure on the name again, the Asian couple) and the Cox wife was one who stood up to her about voting them off because she liked the Ietas. I do not care for the Mormon wife. This is such a fun show!
