I don't blame Gary Coleman one bit for walking out on those people after being publicly humiliated like that. Picking him up and carrying him around was so far over the line. I felt so bad for him when he sort of gave a half-smile to the customers while Rob was embarassing him like that. And then Rob insisting that he do the Different Strokes bit, when he himself goes nuts at the Vanilla Ice reminders. Coleman should've said "I'll say it right after you perform 'Ice, Ice Baby' for these nice people." When Rob was whining over how he had moved on and didn't want to be reminded of his past, it didn't occur to him that this is how Gary Coleman might've felt.

I don't get why they used the fact that it was a charity event as an excuse to not take it seriously. That's all the more reason to want to work hard and make as much money as possible.

I didn't understand Rob's comment about last year's cast either. Last year's houseguests were still has-beens, but at least they were more famous than this year's. Half these people were only cast for the sex factor, not because they're real celebrities. And his comment about Danny Bonaduce was hilarious. Bonaduce would've wiped the floor with him.

Ah, well. Still think Estrada is the classiest, and Tammy's still trying to keep it light and fun.

LOL Curlyq! Good one!

It's probably in GC's best interest that he didn't say that. Rob would have probably flipped out, beat the crap out of him and be in jail right now.

Gary Coleman is just ugly.. from within. Just humming with anger. Vanilla Ice is humming too and loud.

Like Ron and Tammy Faye and Eric.

Trishelle and Traci.. eh... though Traci this week made Trishelle look normal..

I think I liked last season better.

Gary wouldn't have been humiliated if he hadn't acted liks such an .. well like he did.. He actively worked to humiliate the others, IMO. Don't make Ice's actions right either.

Last season just seemed happier and nicer to me. Too much negativity maybe? I don't think there was any at all last year. They just wanted to get that one girl a date and MC Hammer and Emmanuel Lewis were such a great duo. The only real loopy one last year was Corey Feldman.

For me, the entertaining duo this year would be Erik and Ron, they come off as the most relaxed....would definitely hang with them.

I haven't got to watch the latest episode yet, so this may be totally wrong. Talking about why would Rob hate MC Hammer so much? Back in the 80s they had a rap feud going on. I guess Rob never got over it. That should explain why Rob would talk bad about one of the good guys from last season at least :)

I have to admit that I always thought that Erik seemed like a very conceited man and maybe he was in his young "stud" days but he has changed my mind! He is classy and he listens and helps. I was glad he talked to Ice in such a kind way. Ice has serious issues!

I missed the first airing of the second show and now have to wait for the repeat! I can't wait to see what happened that made Trishelle look normal! Any details?

Freckle, I thought I heard Rob say Hammer was a good friend of his now. I don't understand his reasoning about not wanting to be on the show with him then.

This show cracks me up! I can't believe how much I like Tammy and Erik!

I agree Pamy, I never thought I'd like Tammy one bit! And Erik seems like a great guy (and I still say his hair is real).

Gary Coleman has issues and _is_ a joke, but for Ice to go on and on after Erik pointed out that Gary feels the same about his past as Ice does about his, just shows how immature Ice is. I don't like him one bit.

Never knew who Ron was, but he seems like a great guy too. I'm liking this year more that I thought I would.

Pamy, I agree. Eric and Tammy are definitely the most likable. I find myself wanting to defend and protect Tammy- isn't that funny! I'm not exactly a fan of televangelists, but she's pretty cool! Rob is beyond having issues- he could use a nice padded cell. He makes me thing of a postal worker one step away from going back in with a rifle! If I worked at his old record label, I'd be sweating!

The casting of Gary Coleman with Rob can't be a coincidence. The producers must have planned it that way. It would be too ironic that they both have the same exact issue- trying to live down a past they're embarrassed about. It would naturally be way beyond Rob's powers of introspection to recognize that- he is very narcissistic!

I also thought Todd Bridges looked good and he seemed happy to go along with any idea.

LOL Puttergirl, I agree about Tammy..who'd a thunk? lol

Deesandy: Without spoiling it for you, let's just say when Traci gets some wine in her system she gives Trishelle a run for her money and wins.

Bananaclip: Rob did say MC Hammer was a "good guy" after saying he wouldn't have done the show if MC Hammer would have been on. God knows I have no idea what goes through Rob's mind, but I get the sense he was saying: MC Hammer is considered cheesy and had Rob been on during the same season as MCH, Rob would have been made to look cheesy as well.

Pretty much agree with everything said so far.

I am loving the show but admit that I would rather have seen them work at something like a soup kitchen for the homeless.

The German neighbor ~ Why the hell does she open her door at all? Doesn't she have a peep hole? She did the same routine last year. But after listenting to Rob, I can understand her feelings about celebrities.

You'd think the producers could think up some new stunts anyway.

What I meant about Trishelle seeming "normal" was that she wasn't (in THIS episode.. I think this will be changing) throwing herself all over the guys and Traci's "karate kicks" get really OLD, really FAST.. and so far, Trishelle hasn't seen fit to get huge boobular "enhancements". And has her own hair too..

Seamonkey, I was thinking the same thing. I hate when these programs come back and do the exact same thing!!! Plus they had one of them saying for the camera that "we decided to make brownies and take them to the neighbors". How stupid do they think we are- that we wouldn't remember it from last year!!!!!

I quit watching when ice was trying to get Gary to do the "what you talkin about Willis?" thing. I was bored and dh had an interesting thing going on in the bedroom.

Denecee, you devil you! I thought we married people weren't supposed to be having sex anymore? (Sorry if that's not what you meant, but I just couldn't resist!)

I agree that Tammy and Erik are the sweetest. Even Ron, though a little rough around the edges, seems like a very nice guy (but could you even think about fooling around with someone who's had as many partners as he has? Ewwwww!!!!). I was a little appalled at Traci's behavior and thought Rob nailed it when he commented, "If I was her finace, I'd dump her ass! It's just not right!" (when she was talking about how she'd fool around if her fiance would let her but he won't let her! Honestly!!!!).

I'd love to see Gary Coleman, Rob Van Winkle and Corey Feldman spend a few days together and see who comes out alive!

Rats! I forgot the show was on and I missed it! Does anyone have it recorded that they would be willing to send me? I'll pay for the tape and postage. Thanks in advance!

I never, ever in a million years thought I'd like Tammy Faye! But I do! In fact, I relate more to her than any of them. I disagree she's uptight about sex, just because the swear words and porn talk are out of her comfort element. They're out of mine, too, and I'm happy married and frisky with the hubster. In fact, I didn't even get Ron's "organ" crack right away (duh), but she did, so she's pretty on the ball. And unlike her, I am in no way religious.

That Vanilla Ice needs to CHILL. What a borderline psycho. He should definitely get his $$ back for any therapy he received! ITA about Gary being a control freak, but I thought Rob was way out of line. Amazing that he can't see how he is doing to Gary exactly what he hates peoples doing to him. Completely flabbergasting. My sister also said Gary should have asked him to sing "Ice, Ice." Gary didn't know about the guy's hangup, or maybe he would have!

This is a different Trishelle than I'm used to, too. Seems more straightforward and honest. I got a better feel for her personality in one ep of this show than an entire Real World season (I watched the first two eps back to back this weekend). I was completely agreeing with her about Traci and her "raspberry tub" hangup. Get over yourself, chicka!

I saw Erik on The Sharon Osborne show this morning. She had seen the show where he "adjusted his hair piece" and she was shocked that it wasn't his real hair. She couldn't wait to see him and check it out for herself. It turns out that it's just a trick that he does by moving his scalp with his hands. Sharon varified that she checked it out and there is no rug, it's his own home grown hair.
