I read in the random shows thread about this one. I didn't see a thread started, so started one myself.

I just watched my recording of the first show and then last night's show and I think it's really hysterical. I think there have been 2 episodes so far.

Who did he get rid of last night? I saw part of the show then got distracted and forgot to watch the rest. It just cracks me up.

Dipo, I think her name was Stephanie. She was the one that had dyed orange/red hair, petite and it seemed obvious she was there for the exposure, not for him.

ETA: Ooops, that was the first show. I watched them both back to back and was half asleep for the 2nd one. I think the girl who got let go was Carey? Very cute girl with sort of a brunette, bob haircut. Very sweet.

he let mandy go earlier in the show. the mom said either she goes now or the whole group gets out of her house.

at elimination it came down to cathy and jessica, with jessica going. she was kind of a ditz. cathy was on the hot seat due to being a drunk mess the night before

Isn't Jessica the one that danced for him in the basement?

Right, I forgot about Mandy going earlier. I think you are confused Oregonguy, or else I was more asleep than I realized. It was Kari (I spelled her name wrong earlier) who was let go. Here are the photos. First is Jessica.



Next is Kari:

See, I told you I could have been confused! I recorded both and then played them late last night and my eyes kept shutting on the 2nd episode. Thanks for correcting me. :-)

But, when was Stephanie eliminated? I am pretty sure I didn't hallucinate that one.

Stephanie did go in the first show. She was the model who didn't know anything about Frank.

Thanks for clearing that up! I think I need to watch the 2nd one again (obviously).

I have to order FIOS - I can't get anything much beyond basic cable right now. This has to be hysterical - they are all staying in his parent's house instead of a mansion?

I don't know if it is really their home, but the plastic covering on the furniture cracks me up.

Is that plastic furniture covering an Italian thing? Remember Everybody Loves Raymond - Ray's parents had the plastic covered couch.

Lilfair,

No, that is not their home. They live in Congers, NY (Rockland County). I think they want us to think it is Staten Island by showing the Verrazano-narrows bridge.

That plastic covering was way too obvious.

The parents crack me up. Mom is a wannabe actress and the father sits quiet like a church mouse.

RS, I didn't think that was their house. I vaguely remember when Frank was on ILNY and she went to his basement, it didn't look anything like the basement on the show.

Lots, That's where I grew up! haha. My friend with older Italian immigrant parents had plastic covers on their furniture.

Lex, Didn't watch the shows he was on but I read that it was a tiny room, not this "perfect basement".

I didn't watch The Entertainers other shows (well I watched a few epis of ILNY but don't remember him) so I'm wondering for those that did...he seems to be the most normal person in the house including his parents. What was he like on the other shows.

I think the older Italian families used plastic on the furniture, not so much anymore- or at least no one in my DH's family.

I tried watching but couldn't get into it, maybe if I catch a marathon on a Saturday or something..lol

My mom had plastic covers on our furniture when I was little (in the late 60s). She's Irish. :-)
