So what is up with "the Donald's hair ? Boyfriend has way too much $$$ to ever have a bad hair day.
As to CSI, I am glad to know that I am not the only person in America NOT watching this show.

Hate to be OT, but what is DVR?

Faery, I think it's using a DVD player to record instead of a VCR.

DVR is a Digital Video Recorder and it typically uses a hard disk to record shows as mpeg files. The receiver is almost like a low end computer, but looks similar to a cable box or satellite receiver. They are sometime called PVR (Personal Video Recorder) and these work in the same way.

The new DVD burners are basically the same as VCRs, except you write to a DVD instead of a tape, but they do not have all the funtionality of a DVR.

I have dvr through my cable company. Gives me thirty hours on their server and it works like tivio. It records shows for me and I can also pause shows that are airing.

DVR as I use it does not go to DVD.. it just records on a hard drive.. but is also hooked up to my digital cable so is sort of TIVO lite as far as setting up to record, save, etc.

And boycott or not, if I cannot FIND THE FRIGGEN' SHOW TO RECORD.. I cannot even find out if I like it or not.

(I screwed up the fist time but then the repeat was replaced by other stuff, so I haven't seen the show yet.)

If Sam had tried his same tactics of selling the cup of lemonade to the man for $100, it would have been better.

I'm sure he could get 10 men to buy for $100 easier than getting one man for $1000.

Or maybe I'm completely wrong and am going to suck when and if I ever go into business ^_^

Tammy annoyed me with her "break" and her whining. Too bad it means she won't be going for a while....

I actually chocked on my popcorn when david said "I'm not good at sales." to DT.
What was he thinking??

And Jason, I can understand his "Let me finish" comment. I'd probably do it too. It wouldn't be because I was trying to be rude, but I'd be getting into what I was saying and if someone stopped me in the middle of it, it be a reaction to just say "Let me finish," forgetting your talking to Donald trump O.o;

I really don't think that will hurt Jason in the long run...

OMG! This is the greatest reality show yet! I'm back with the survivor producer on this one. I was kinda blah on survivor but I GOTTA repeat GOTTA watch this one!

Okay i don't know everyone's name yet, but the short crazy sell lemonade for $1000 a glass guy, is well um extremely enthusiastic.

The women better get their crap together when it comes to handing out duites and communication.

I thought that the first challenge was heavily in the women's favor. Women and men are not going to buy a cup of lemonade from a strange man on the street who's not a vendor. Although the men should have used the sex topic and had someone with a body take off their shirt and do a whole kinda chippendales dealie. They might have come to the table with $1200 bucks like the women.

Anyhoo, great show glad to see reality tv making a comeback. It was rough there for a while.

Does anyone know if it's on tonight..or on after Friends tomorrow? The tv guide says tonight..but I thought I saw promos for tomorrow night.

Donald Trump was on Leno last night and the next challenge wins them a trip on a jet to Boston for dinner. (I think..it was late and I was tired) He said that when he first signed on that he was told it would only be like 3 hours of work a week for him but it has turned into 30 hours. He complimented all 16 of the contestants that they all had drive. He said that his g/f Melania helps him do his hair..lol I really don't remember the rest...not enough to actually comment on it.

That would be a good thing so then I don't miss "That 70's show" & "The Simple Life(finale)"

TV Guide on-line says that it is the first episode and it will run from 7-8 Central. Wasn't the first show 1 1/2 hours long?

A friend checked her show guide on her TV and it says this episode has them "jet setting". Isn't that the second episode?

I'm so confused.

FINally a reality show that my husband likes. He will never sit and watch them with me, but this one he loves! This could be a very interesting series.

I saw tonight's one hour repeat of the original 1 1/2 hour episode and I must have blinked. What did Sam do that was almost "over the line" and breaking the rules? I know he wanted to sell for $1000 but it didn't work and what's wrong with asking? Am I missing some important detail?

Wouldn't you just love to send the Queer Eye guys to Donald's?

the repeat was due to the west coast, because of some STUPID football game, we didn't get to see the repeat of the first episode
