Heh. The best man, Jimmy, is James Grace, a very funny comedian. I went out with him a couple of times several years ago. He has gained some weight and some grey hair but I think he's still handsome, when he's not belching and doing The Moose.

Wow. Another really funny episode tonight. Randi’s family is much nicer and more reasonable than I would have expected, which makes it all the more funnier. Her father just kept on smiling no matter what – by the end of the show it looked like his face had frozen. They all seem like pretty decent people so hopefully they had a good laugh at the end of this whole thing.

Let me ask... Do you think the viewing public would put up with a second season of this show if it was reversed? (IE: A good looking guy and a 300 pound actress acting slovenly.) Would HIS parents seem less tolerant with their objections? Would HER actions seem disgusting? Would it be as plausible? Would people watch? BTW- You KNOW the second season is going to be just that.

yeah, they would probably put up with it. i loved rikki lake even when she was really heavy and kathy najimy even when she was really heavy and kathy bates is one of my favorite actresses and she is rather 'portly'. so, we'll try anything....bring it oooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn i thought it was funny how steve was so bad while playing croquet and randi wasn't even out there at the time. she is probably going 'what the heck? last night my family loved this guy! what changed?' his sister makes me laugh til i cry. how can anyone think she is for real?!

Do you think men will want to date Randi in real life, once they see how she seems to need to mold a guy to her specs? Sure, this guy was thrust on her, and she needs to "train" him to pass as someone her family could accept. But really, sometimes she comes off like she's training a dog! I'm surprised she hasn't been feeding him biscuits and rubbing his belly!

I watched last night and loved every minute! Her family is so uptight and his so freakishly bizarre, that it's a perfect match. I especially loved the croquet, the moose, the "I just took a huge ****" and the "I haven't done it with your daughter yet" segments. The father is much nicer than I originally imagined. Does anybody else think the oldest brother is a little creepy? I mean, he's soooo angry. Is he just an over-protective brother, a control freak, or something else?

Randi thinks she just has to mold this guy for a few days to win the money. Her goal is that her family stays for the wedding. She probably wouldn't do that in a real situation. I like her now. Too bad Steve is married. It would have been interesting to see if they might have dated after the show.

I watched some of this show last week after AI and kinda liked it. It had some laughs. I watched it this week since there was "nothing else on." I loved it! This show is great. Good thing her family is "dignified". If they weren't, I think the older brother would punch someone out. The one question I have, is what has the family been told? They know they are on some kind of reality show, but what is the premise of that show? Has anyone been watching this from the beginning that can give me a brief refresher course?

My favorite part last night was when the 2 father-in-laws were chit chatting and Steven's dad went on and on about quitting drinking the day he P'd in his MIL's bed. Oh, and when Steven let Randi's dad know they were "waiting"...LOL The fact that Randi didn't know he was being being triple obnoxious whenever she wasn't looking is so devilish! I love it

Hobbs, the "setup" was that Randi had been on a dating show (I think before it started they had her isolated for 3 weeks.) and that she had met Steve and now they were going to be married. I have only seen the first show so if there is something I have left out, I hope someone will complete the story.

Does anyone know what Randi's Dad does for a living?

I'm still thinking her parents might be in on the joke.

Thanks SBW. They look like the type that don't watch a lot of TV, so it might be real easy to pull off this stunt. They may be very smart people, but they are ignorant to FOX and reality TV. (Now being called unscripted TV)

what would be really funny to me would be to have the minister say, "speak now or forever hold your peace" and randi's family stays quiet, but steve's real-life wife jumps up and blurts out that "steve is already married"! that could be how the entire joke unfolds for the others. then they could have the big reception as just an end of series cast party and show clips of guest roles and commercials steve and his family have been in.

Tabby, you should just write this ending for them. I like your idea.

That would be hilarious, Tabby! But if they couldn't go that far, it would at least be fun to have a jealous ex-girlfriend of Steve's show up before the nuptials and give Randi a hard time. Randi wouldn't be able to calm the woman down by saying "don't worry, it's not real" without thinking she will lose the money...LOL

I could not believe that they bleeped out the word "dump." Has everyone gone insane? Since when is the word "dump" not allowed on TV?

Tobor, sometimes I think they do that on TV just because they think the viewers are stupid and will believe he really said something worse.

Pamy: I am pretty sure was only set up for 6 episodes.. after watching it would almost like to see Randi suffer for at least 8 episodes.. lol Tobor7: You said would America watch reversal.. 300 pound women in Steves place..I would.. I love Anna Nicole Smith.. couldnt you just picture her in the role of Steve.. Kimmy and Howard as her side kicks I rofl thinking about it!! Tabbyking : Lol Steves wife stopping the wedding..what a great idea!! Ever since I read Steve is married.. have been dying to see a picture oh her.. I bet 5 bucks she is way prettier than Randi..and even if shes not shes a lucky gall.. I love Steve..as him-self.. and when hes being obnoxious!!

Surfgirl: Have you seen Anna Nicole Smith lately? She can't be compared to Steve any longer! She looks quite stunning these days.
