Hmmm... I was pretty silly as a sophomore. I remember crushing really badly on a senior. I might feel a little silly meeting him again--but I did run into him briefly in college and the crush was SO over. I loved Luann confronting the Heather chick. That was the best part of the show (only good part, really). She did what I wanted her to do--meet Denise at the car, brief her on the situation, confront the girl about her intentions. Heather is trashy if she only came to cause trouble. It's just tacky in the extreme.

I guess I'm the only one who likes Heather and actually feels very bad for her. I believe what she says about Denise, Heather had her heart broken by Gave and I understand it was 10 years ago, but don't her feelings matter? Of course now that children are involved it does make it a bit shady, but I still think Heather has a right to confront Gabe and Denise about what happened back then. Denise strikes me as being obsessed with Gabe and will stop at nothing to get him as she did in H.S. I don't think Gabe has any intention of getting back with Denise.

I just saw a repeat of the show. THESE PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!!! I don't even know where to begin! First there's Louann. Ok, yeah, it was cool she was protecting her friend Denise. But at the same time, she should have just stated her opinion and shut up. Instead she brought it up her dissatisfaction with Heather THREE times. And who is Louann to freakin' judge what's right or wrong? She seems pretty open to forgetting her boyfriend to see how things go with Johnny. And what about Johnny? If he had so much regret over losing Louann, why didn't he contact her sooner? There he is, ONE DAY after arriving and basically telling her he wants to be with her. And neither one of them seem to give a crap about Louann's boyfriend's feelings. What selfish people. I can't stand Denise. I hate that passive/aggressive crap. She totally LIVES for Gabe. I can totally see her threatening and being a "psycho". And then there's Gabe. Even though he doesn't want to be with Denise, he sleeps with her? And why? Because he could! Only a total JERK would reject a woman one minute and then sleep with her the next because he feels like it. I, kind of, feel bad for Heather too. But she had a prime opportunity to confront Denise and she totally chickened out. If she's so hurt, then get all out there and deal with it. Instead, she'd rather mope around and whine to her roommates. The "gay guy", the "class clown" and now the new guy Trevor, all come across as either jerks, sleazy or just completely unlikable. Aye yi yi. I am so glad I didn't go to high school with any of these people.

Face it, I don't think the winners of any class would come on a show like this. So we get what we get.

Boy is it a very small world. I almost married a guy from the 1993 class of Round Rock High School. Pretty weird.

Spy, you could've been on this show! You could've been the "Other Ex." It is a small world! (Oh, no! Now I'll be singing that song for the rest of the day! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!)

I'll try to do a little "research" this weekend and see what I can find out. I just learned about this being Round Rock this morning, so give me a bit to collect my thoughts. I may have some things to share

This is the first time for me watching this type of show...it's usually Survivor, BB ...well, actually I did start watching 'Playing It Straight', too but even though I sort of find the show interesting in a "voyeuristic" type of way...I agree with others who say the show feels 'scripted'.

Okay, I did some snooping, and my ex did in fact graduate from Round Rock during that year. He lives in my old hometown area, but we are not on good terms (it didn't end well at all). In fact, since we broke off our engagement in 1996, we've only spoken once and that was in November when I ran into him and his wife. I thought about it all weekend and have decided not to call him. But, I did the "friend of a friend" routine and we'll see if he contacts me. I have a feeling he has been contacted by a lot of people who are curious about this show. The big thing I was looking for is his senior yearbook. I had it for a long time, but can't for the life of me figure out where it might be now. It is entirely possible that I threw it out during one of my moves. I'm gonna keep looking, though!

Funny show last night. I have a feeling Gabe isn't gonna end up with either girl. I like Heather much better than Denise. I feel sorry for Heather because she obviously had her heart broken 10 years ago and it never really mended, I think because they had no closure it really took it's toll on her. That was sooooooo funny with the gay stripper. I was shocked when the cop started stripping, that was so funny, but I couldn't blame TJ for feeling uncomfortable, I would've felt kind of weird too, it was definitely different to say the least. Can't wait to see that guy get a make-over. I hope LouAnna goes with this guy, he's so cute!

Laura, I, too, was thinking I could relate to TJ's discomfort with the stripper. Though I still think TJ is a <el>, I was thinking while watching (I CAN do two things at once!) that even if it were a guy and a girl (ie. hetero couple) I'd feel uncomfortable. Just don't like the whole sleezy stripper thing. I was feeling bad for both Denise and Heather. I've been on both sides of that relationship (the "winner" and the "loser") and feel for both of them. Denise and Gabe have children together, though. Their feelings should be considered. If their marriage is at all salvagable, it would be best for the kids. The whole thing is just so sad!

Am I the only one still watching this??? I thought the make over was a total set up. Watching these girls fawn over him and tell him he's now "hot" really felt fake to me. He's going to be in for a big surprise when he goes out into the real world and tries to hit on some model type and she completely dogs him. I think you can take the man out of the geeky clothes, but you can't take the geek out of the man. And in true Average Joe form, instead of going for an average kind of girl, he goes after one of the snooty, plastic surgery enhanced, sophomore girls. And the couple that went on the 3 day pass, I can't believe they admitted to sleeping together. Does she really think her boyfriend will be okay with that? These 28 year olds are really, really immature.

I don't remember all names but here goes. Johnny (the quarterback) and Louann had a hall pass and the first night they just told each other how great the other one was (mostly Johnny telling Louann), hugging, draping an arm over the shoulder, etc....She said she just wanted Johnny to kiss her but it wouldn't be right because she had so much going for her in Dallas (with her boyfriend of 3? years) The second night, they finally kissed and moments later it showed them going to the room together. Afterwards, she seemed to be kind of regretful about the intimacy with Johnny and previews for next week indicate that will be addressed. Heather (Gabe's sophomore girlfriend) was obviously trying to catch his attention. Gabe brought her a drink that he "made especially for her" and asked her to drink it and she said no, and she didn't. Denise (Gabe's ex) walked in and sat in the living room and Gabe started looking real uncomfortable and walked away from Heather and went outside. Heather told the camera that she knows there is definite chemistry between her and Gabe and that Denise is going to feel what she felt back in the day. She and another girl and two guys finally started getting loaded up and went skinny dipping, first in the ocean, then the hot tub and then the pool. But it wasn't enough to get Gabe to come along. The long haired self professed nerd (Lanny, I think) had a makeover (they cut off about 12 inches of hair and got him some new clothes) and then he got a hall pass and asked a very cute girl to go with him and she agreed. They both acted as well as could be expected but if I must say, I think it has helped his self esteem a little. I really can't think of anything else. Hoping for more drama next week.

Thanks for the recap, Kimmykm. I stopped watching this show. And now after reading what a total hypocrite Louann is and how, this woman who was so concerned about the drama Heather was going to cause and the feelings she was going to hurt, seemed to so easily forget her boyfriend's feelings, I'm so glad I stopped watching this horrid bunch of people.

You're right Kimmy, in that the girls are all fairly attractive. I just thought there was probably someone more suited for him, like the wallflower, rather than one of the sophomore skinny dippers. It's the same old Average Joe story over and over.

Willwillbe, it is being re-run Sunday night at 7:00 (check your local listings to be sure). I checked Yahoo! TV Listings for Sunday night, and did, in fact, see it listed here. Good luck!

I would have to say that that was a real half-***ed apology by Denise. It sounds to me like she really was an awful person. I think that popular girls that are cheerleaders, ect, have absolutely no excuse for tormenting other students. She says it was a long time ago and she is over it now-------she's over it? What did she have to get over? I haven't been too impressed with Heather but Denise went way down in my book tonight. She really didn't seem repentent to me.
