This show was hysterical. I flipped past it and thought ... oh how dumb. But I kept going back to it until I was HOOKED -

Ditto what SBG said. But I also thought Tammy Faye seemed like a real person. Oh and it took me a moment to realize the Rob you all were talking about is Vanilla Ice, lol. Never knew his real name and didn't pay attention to it on the show.

Tracy sure acted like a spoiled brat. I'm not a big Trishelle fan, but was cheering for her when she was calling Tracy a diva and telling her to basically sit down and shut up. What the heck difference does the color of a bathtub make, for goodness sake! I would be more upset by the tacky decor in the rest of the house than that. These folks are pretty much a train wreck waiting to happen, which is (of course) why they have been thrown together. Erik Estrada still looks darned good! I always liked him 'cause I never got the sense that he took himself too seriously. He seems to be about the most 'normal' person there. Tammy Faye seems like a sweetie at heart. Sure wish someone would get her to take all that black gook off her eyes, though. She's definitely going to have a hard time with these folks. Trishelle..... gee, she's sure come a long way since RW, eh? NOT! Wonder how many years it will take for her to realize that she has a problem with alcohol. "I could go through that whole bar in one night!" Yeah, that's something to be proud of, honey. She's a really pretty girl, but she's frying her last remaining brain cells. Ron Jeremy cracks me up. He is who he is and he's not about to apologize for it. I like that. I also like that he's able to appreciate beauty in many forms and recongize sexuality as more than something wrapped in a young, pretty package. His snoring would drive me nuts! Rob "Vanilla Ice" ... why the heck would those pictures still bother him so much. Seems like the therapy sessions might have ended too soon if a simple set of pictures can still get under his skin so much. I couldn't believe how rude and loud and obnoxious he was at the farmer's market. Grow up already! It would seem that anyone should be able to last for twelve days with a group of people. However, I can see how that amount of time with this combination of people could easily seem like twelve months!

Call me a sucker for contrived editing, but the thing I liked about last season, and already recognize in this season, is how these people are portrayed as kind, decent people. Yeah, Traci had a hissy fit, but after awhile she was trying to be considerate. Even Rob, who acted like an ass, came across as (somewhat) sympathetic. The show is done in good humor--not for the sake of shock value or drama. That's pretty cool.

I love this show! I think it's gonna be better than last year. What's weird was, they only stay in the house for 12 days? Was it 12 last year? It seemed like forever. And from the previews for the season, it seems like they easily gathered enough drama in those 12 days. Ron is the bomb! So down to earth and laid back. I would so get along with him. Trishelle, who has gotten on my nerves in RW and RW/RR Gauntlet has grown on me despite her "I need a drink to have a good time, and to show other people I am a good time" attitude. Hopefully she'll grow out of it before her liver explodes. Tammy is as sweet as can be, but I see someone lashing out on her if she thumps that bible a little too close to them. I love Ron, though he does have an anger problem. Funny how we only see him just flip out, and never the part of what caused him to get there. Eric I see as trying to be a peace maker. When Tami and Trishelle got into it, he was agreeing to whoever was talking at the time. But he did freak out a little after awhile. Anyway, who cares...that man is still hot. Traci, are we ever going to see anymore of her than her coming and going? Don't know about her just yet. Would have liked her more though if she didn't have that drama queen fit when she first came in.

My wonder about Tammy Faye is: is she really that prudish or is she behaving that way bc of the cameras? I thought she was sweet though. Eric- OH my! The dreams I use to have about him when I was 15. I still think he's hot but toupees scare me.(My dh is bald and I like it that way) Trishelle- I thought her going off on Traci was a little pre-mature but I guess it would have happened sooner or later. I'm still tired of her from what little of RW-Vegas I did watch. Ron- Seems to be a nice person but I would have screamed out loud if I had to sleep in the same room as his snore. Rob- There always has to be an angry guy huh? The guy needs to forgive himself. Traci- I never watched Bay watch so I had no clue who she was but I think she'll be ok, spoiled yes but nice.

Scorpio, if I were a "B" list celeb in that house when Traci had acted like that, they'd be carrying her out in a bodybag. I hate fake people like that. <>

Loved the show too. Trishelle looks great! The little fat around her chin is gone, she looks really good, better than in her RW and RW/RR seasons. From the previews of "this season" it looks like this season is gonna rock. Lotsa drama coming from what I see.

Considering Trishelle spend most of the Gauntlet season with a black eye, she does look good.. actually I agree she looks good in this show. Traci, eh.. Tammy Faye is the best, so far.. but looks like they lash out at her soon.

My favorite quote last night came from Rob on how he likes his eggs: "I like them with the yellow and the white!" He's a doofus, fer sure, but he's still a very good-looking fellow. He's got some fine Martian blood in him, no doubt.

I kept telling myself I wasn't going to watch this, but I kept flicking back to it during the People's Choice Awards. I don't know if I'll watch the whole season this time because the whole emphasis on sex and nudity thing gets old after a while (at least with me). Denecee, I can't speak for Tammy, but as a Christian myself I've sometimes found myself avoiding situations where people are talking filthy or intentionally making crude comments to me. Tammy seemed to me to be behaving like someone who wasn't desiring to tell others how to live, but also wasn't willing to let herself be pulled into it. Self-censoring goes both ways. If people expect her not to "bible thump" around them, they may want to be more mindful of what they're thumping around her (that probably didn't come out right ). It's just natural to not want to make the people around you uncomfortable. Anyway, I was impressed with Estrada's sensibility and the way he handled the temper tantrums while still calling them out for their nonsense. Voicing his suspicions about Traci's behavior stopped her in her tracks. I don't know if she was trying to stir things up for the show so much as trying to overcompensate for getting less camera time. Wasn't Traci Bingham the one who went on Celebrity Boot Camp and made it to the final 2? She could sleep on a cot in a Marine barracks, but she can't sleep in a twin bed in a room with 2 people? She can run "the gauntlet", but she can't bathe in a red tub? Yeah, I think she was definitely just trying to play the role of pampered princess for the cameras. I had to laugh when she asked Trishelle who she thought she was talking to. My response might've been "I really don't know. What's your name again?" My favorite lines from the show came from Estrada and Jeremy. Estrada: They don't have my tuna here. Jeremy: Let me guess...Jimmy Dean tuna.

Its obvious the producers put Tammy Faye in with a bunch of "rough around the edges" people to generate shock value. I think Tammy Faye handled herself brilliantly last night. She let it be known she chose not to be pulled into the mix of behavior around her, but did not preach to them about how they shouldn't be doing it. I think she approached herself and the other's behaviors with a sense of humor. She was much much less prudish than I expected her to be. Well, I debated whether to admit that I had a crush on Eric Estrada back in the CHiPs days. But since others have mentioned the same thing, I think I'm safe! He did seem to have a lot of down to earth sense, and did a great job at peace-keeping. So far I think he and Tammy Faye are my favorites. Ron also was not as sleazy as I expected him to be (This is a good lesson in "preconceived conceptions." He was not as sleazy, and Tammy Faye was not as prudish). I also like how he's who he is, and comfortable with it. I completely agree with Max's take on this guy. Rob/Ice...Ummm, if you don't like who you were, then why the heck did you agree to go on a show that picked you for who you used to be? What have you done to rid yourself of that identity? Throwing tantrums is not the way to reinvent yourself. Trishelle...I never watched Real World, so I have no idea who she is. Her language is much more sleazy than Ron. She approaches his career with an attempt at shock value, and its only making her look immature. I get the impression she'd like to break into his line of work. I did love how she called Traci out though. She was so totally right about the diva behavior. Traci: eegads! Get over yourself! Haven't you figured out this show is a collection of has-beens? So what if you are taping a show. Your use of the Hollywood Jargon ("I have to be on set") seemed more about showing your importance that you were in a position to use the jargon, rather than anything else. And the "standard of living" crap is just that....crap! She just didn't get it when she was told, "so, don't use the bathtub, use the shower!" Its like she was offended that a bathtub of improper color was in the same living quarters as her. I too don't want to see her do nothing but coming and going. Either go shoot your show, or do this show. But spare us your staged entrances and exits.

I'm so glad they reran this because I missed it on Sunday! I love Tammy Faye. After her hubby went to the slammer, she seemed to grow a spine and make a nice life for herself. She always seems to keep her head up, lol. What's with Ms. Bingham? Somehow, she's confused herself with "My Poo Smells Like Roses Barbie." I hope she and Trishelle fight all the time. Then Vanilla Ice and Eric can join in and Rob can grab a camera...anyone else hear waka-waka porn music?

I'm really surprised that none of these people even watched tapes of the previous season to prepare themselves, or they would have known about the problems they were going to run into (ie: sleeping arraignments). I thought actors prep themselves to get into the 'zone' before filming. I love the way that Ron and Tammy are bonding. I think that Ron is actually kinda smittened by her. But then again, most men are with something they can't have. Does anyone know who the guy was that was making out with Trishelle in the previews for the season?

LOL Jhezzie -- I don't think I own that barbie! I agree with everyone's take on things. Tammy Faye seems okay, surprisingly! And The diva needs to get over herself. I didn't think I'd enjoy this show as much as last season because I don't know or like any of these "celebrities", but so far they have been quite entertaining.

The guy Trishelle was making out with was Andy Dick (or at least I think I have his name right). I believe he was part of that Radio sitcom. The one where the star was murdered by his wife? (in real life) Anyway - I'm a bit confused. Will Monday's show always be a rerun of Sunday's? I was upset that I had missed Sunday's - but I TiVo'd last night's and it appeared to be the first show... So what is with the comings and goings of the baywatch chick? I thought this was a lock 'em in a house show a la Big Brother. I thought they were only let out with supervision for some official outing - yet this baywatch person is bearly at the house? Funny how no one knew who Trishelle was, yet I know her better than any of the others. I had no clue who the baywatch girl was or the porn guy. I do remember ET making a big deal about a black baywatch chick years ago - but I never watched baywatch - so I didn't recognize her or her name. I guess ET doesn't cover porn, so I've NEVER even heard about that guy. I'm actually pretty happy about that one. LOL I did know Vanilla Ice. I admit I thought he was totally hot back when. LOL. If I was him, I'd embrace my cheesy past, laugh all the way to the bank, and make something of what I am now. Oh well, hopefully he'll learn. I've seen a lot of Tammy Faye here and there over the years - Larry King loves to interview her. She is pretty much what I expected and mostly likable. Ummmm... The house? All those checkered rooms? It's pretty hard on the eyes. I wonder why they choose a decorating scheme that looks sooo bad on video. It seems to cause a lot of strobing (flickering light, etc...) on my TV. You can be pretty 'out there' and still look good on tape. See any MTV RW house of the last several years. Trishelle looks great. She no longer has that anorexic please feed me look. Not sure I like the bangs - what's up with the bangs phenomina taking over hollywood the last few months? Rob/Vanilla Ice also still looks pretty hot - too bad his personaility doesn't match up. The guy seriously needs to chill out!

I like the bangs. I loved it when Ice tea was scribbling on his pictures and Tammy Faye suggested drawing mustaches and horns and such; that would be way more fun. The "visit" next week seems bogus to me.
