I'm going to give it a try. Here's what I don't get- do they plan for this to air on tv forever? Or will they get kicked off the island as soon as ratings tank???

Well they always suck me into these for a while, but I tape them so I can have the fast forward option. I'll be taping and look forward to everyone's thoughts on this one. It sure seems like the next one from Temptation Island, to the Love Cruise to the Mexico one, ETA: I remember it now Paradise Hotel, now this. I wonder if Toni will be there!!!!

Well, that was a little surprising.

I don't know if you guys get the same thing the in US, but I was treated to a couple of uncensored f words here.

Not something I tend to worry about, but I was a little surprised to see it while we are in the midst of nipplegate and congressional hearings.

I did think I heard an F word, but wasn't sure.

I wasn't impressed with this show at all. The only good thing I can say about it is that Toni from Paradise Hotel wasn't there.

Looks like a more painful version of PH....

What a pile. Granted it was funny that Ms. Most Undesirable gets to boot someone. None of these people have anything going on at all in their lives, so there will be nothing to talk about. Can America watch people party without end, Amen for long? Snore.

I hope she boots the guy with the big teeth. He was the most obnoxious guy! Also, I wonder what is in the envelope and why she can't open it yet? Have to find out tomorrow night I guess. I just watched it tonight to see what it was like and cause there was nothing else on then I wanted to see, while waiting for AJ2. Not my normal cup of tea.

Tonight is the 2nd part, and I am totally po'd that this is pre-empting 24!!

It wasn't as big a pile of cheese as I had anticipated but it has the potential. Did anyone think that Mary's remarks were racist, or just stupid? I thought she was just ignorant with her comments, but not racist.

Jasper, I'm not convinced of anything where Mary is concerned just yet. I want to keep watching, though, to see her in action a little longer before saying one way or the other. But she really has caused enough concern for me to dislike where she may be headed. It isn't that it would be difficult to insult such a "princess" mentality, but because she walked such a fine line where her statements were concerned.

If she didn't try so hard to sound non-racist, I would almost believe in the ignorance theory. But on the other hand, if she really is that ignorant, her questions would've been more direct; She would have received a direct response, and maybe even gained Mark's respect for being honest.

Her choice to announce (and giggle about it) to the entire group that she's "never seen this many black people" was obnoxious, rude, and clearly didn't indicate that she was open to learn. Later, when she talked about the color of Mark's feet, I was convinced that the term "shallow" also applied.

She can't have been that sheltered while growing up! (But then again, maybe.) If she was, it's a shame. She's old enough now to have been in the workforce for a while, and may have had other opportunities to learn more about black people. Why wait until your appearance on national television to let your "ignorance" spill out?

Points well taken, I'll keep them in mind when I see how she continues to act towards everyone.

If Mary is as ignorant as she seems....she must have been kept in her house for her entire life...Arizona is very diverse...Scottsdale is a little more "hoity toity" ...but I can't believe the truth about her comments. I think she is a plant and is there to stir things up. Why would someone go on a TV show and cover her head/face with a hat and why wouldn't the producers forbid her from doing that unless she was one of them?

And yes I watched this last night...but, I don't think I'll continue....(I'll just read all your posts...and get all the juicy details! )

okay, so my guess is that this is a little more like paradise hotel, in that someone is kicked off, but then someone else comes on, but the guests have no input in the decision. that sure doesn't mean that toni couldn't make an appearance. i kind of miss her brutality :-)

it was about what I'd expect from a show sponsored by Valtrex lol. I spent the hour matching up the new group with the old group and decided that Mary is Charla's clone. $4k a month isn't a bad wage though....

I thought it was pretty funny, actually, although I did cringe for Mary when they busted the guys out about the vote.

Mary is originally from Salt Lake City and doesn't drink, so she's probably Mormon. I don't think that completely explains it, either, though! SLC isn't tiny by any means, neither is Scottsdale-Phoenix. They have some racial mix in each city.

Not only that, but if you watch any TV, you see people of all colors with bare feet. Duh! Very bizarre comments. At least Charla was never racist/ignorant.

BTW, I don't consider noticing differences between the races as being racist unless you say or imply that the other races are beneath you. I think that term is used wrong a lot.

Naveen was just as ignorant in her short comments. I believe she definitely WAS implying the short guy was inferior, or he took it that way (like the black guy did), making it just as rude a thing to say as what Mary said to the black guy. The short guy could claim Naveen was a "height bigot."

Nevertheless, I was rooting for Mary to stay because the others seemed to be ganging up on her. Not that I LIKE her, but I don't love the rest of the cast, either.
