This show is getting ready to start up, so I'd thought I'd make a thread for it.

Here's the website, first of all....
http://www.scifi.com/madmadhouse/index.html

The concept of the show is this. 10 "ordinary" people (from 21-50) are going to live in a house with five people with unusual lifestyles.
A vampire
A witch
A "modern primative"
A naturist
and A voodoo priestess

Collectively they are called "The Alts". Each week, the contestants will get a little taste of their lifestyles, and are going to be judged by the Alts on how well they get along with them, and accept their lifestyles. Each week, the Alts will vote one person out of the house, and the last person standing wins the $100,000 prize.

Sci Fi channel has a lot fo faith in this show...so much so that they've begun casting for a second season.

I saw a promo on SciFi for this with a witch (Didn't look like she was Wiccan,which is cool. She might be Santeria) doing some sort of Rite... Now this is my kind of show!!!

"Christianity has Pagan Roots"

There's a little witch in all of us.....

Sounds like a freak show in the making. I'll be interested to read about it here...I don't get the sci fi channel.

Here's how the voting goes....

There seems to be some sort of challenge during the show with a single Guest winning. That Guest gets at least the tie-breaking vote if the Alts deadlock in their vote (a 2-2-1 or a 1-1-1-1-1 split), and may be immune from being eliminated.

OK Angel, please explain about all witches not being Wiccan - I never knew that. Thanks!

well...that was, interesting. Without giving anything away, the challenge winner does get immunity as well as the tie-breaking vote, and also gets to be in the deliberation room while they're taking place...and we have the anti-immunity necklace, as when an Alt casts a vote, they put a necklace around the person they want eliminated.

Why'd so many think the bootee would be Bonnie? I'm totally rooting for her. Don't know what kind of books she edits, but she was savvy enough to ask the witch if she was Wiccan. (Re above: I thought most modern witches were Wiccan? How does the show assume that all witches are Wiccan? I haven't seen that.)

And how'd you all know Hamin or Brent would win the first challenge? I guess I won't play the game this time--I'm late and I'm not spoiled, and it sounds like spoilers might be floating around out there. ITA with Ladytex: Can we make two threads?

I thought it was a cool show! Definitely one of the more interesting ones. I think the Alts decisions will be fairly arbitrary, but that doesn't matter too much! It would make it tough for the players to know which strategy to use.

I was dying to ask them questions--I want to know what the Alts think of each others' beliefs; I want to know what each ones lifestyle is really like. I hope we find out more as the show progresses.

Brent sure turned out to be a backstabber, didn't he? I wonder if the Alts will be clued in to that.

Kelly will really wear on me, I can already see that. Before breaking for commercials, they spliced in a clip of her crying with mascara running down her face in a preview of the kick-off ceremony, but it never happened this ep. I wish editors wouldn't do that.

I was surprised there were SIX Christians. I wonder if not participating will hurt them. The thing is, their belief that it goes against their religion to participate is no less valid than the Voodoo priestess's beliefs. I think in the deliberation room one of them admired that, actually.

Cool reward, to be in the deliberation room and hear what they think of all the other guests!! I think for good strategy, he shouldn't share what he hears, though. I know I'd be tempted to.

I loved this show!!! It has so many nuances! I can see alot of twists and turns coming.

Realfan- I don't know of any spoilers for it. I got Brent right for winning the challenge only because when I read his profile it he likes "anything competitive". I figured that meant he would try really hard to win at whatever he is doing. So I picked him.

I thought this was an interesting show. If there is karma, then Brent better look out, cuz he surely did turn around and stab Hamin in the back.

I'm liking the naturist right now. He seems so down to earth and I was impressed with his advice to Kelly. He seems so, dare I say it?, so.... normal! LOL, just kidding!

Pamy, Sunrise posted a schedule a bit above yours.
