The Next Action Star starts next Monday or Tuesday (or possibly both) on NBC. They aim to find one female and one male action star who will then be in a movie together.

Anyone watching this? I am finding it intriguing. I'm curious as to how they will "mold" them. The casting and producer (Joel Silver) certainly have some great credits to their work.

OK.. first poster while watching the show... and I'm probably going to get modded!!!

Did you all see that dark haired woman from Dallas named Mae??? Welllllllllllll......

That's the *itch that was trying SO hard to get my husband into bed! and that guy with her -- Derik... let's just say that what he said on the show has probably been the only time he has EVER been supportive of her!

That's how mu dh managed to get hit on! She was complaining about how he never supports her and tells her that she's fat and ugly! NOT!!!!! He told her that he was crazy and BOOM... instant attraction!!!

Now... having ranted all that... it's kind of cool to know somone who's one of the 30 semifinalists! LOL

I liked tonight's show OK. I can't wait for the rest of the shows and especially the drama with them living in the house together.

Gee, now I wish it was on tape so I could go back and see who she was again!! I enjoyed the show, too. Did any of you notice that when they showed the 30 finalists, I SWEAR that guy DAN who was pretending to be gay on Boy Meets Boy is one of the 30?!! He was only on screen for a split second, but that face was hard to forget!

I guess I'm going to have to get the VCR going. A lot of these new shows are playing opposite each other.

Watching2 - YES! That was Dan. I recognized him immediately. Did you know he was also on that very short (3 episode) series called "Lost" a couple of years ago? This will be his third reality show as far as I know....although I wouldn't be surprised if he was on "Blind Date" or one of those, too!

Anyhow...I just came here to see if anyone else saw him!

I never saw Lost, but yep, I sure thought that was "our boy!" LOL I think someone did say he was on Blind Date or one of those shows, since that was their reasoning for him being str8 - or was that about one of the guys on "Playing it Str8?" I dunno - they all run in together after a while! It will be interesting to see if he makes it through the next cut. I haven't noticed him on any of the previews we've seen of the drama to come! Thanks for the pix, Josh!

I missed it! Is tonight a repeat of last night or a new show?

Tonight is the premiere. I liked this show and think it will get even better when they get in the house.

If tonight is the Premiere, does that mean it is just a repeat of what we saw in Canada last night, Pamy?? or was that a pre Premiere????

The way I understood the wording in the previews, tonight is the "premiere" of the show....and last night was simply the initial open call "auditions". The TV Guide says tonight the final 30 go to Hollywood and audition once more, paring the group down to 20. I don't know why they worded it that way....other than try to make tonight (what it supposed to be it's regular time slot) into a big deal, rather than it just being the "second episode".

Anyhow, my guess is that our Dan will get bumped tonight...he's pretty short, isn't he? I doubt if even Ah-nuld would have been a big action star had he been a foot shorter than he is!

Okay, did anyone besides me notice that the chic from Average Joe: Hawaii was one of the folks they auditioned? It was fairly early on and she didn't get much camera time, but I rewound and froze her face on my screen to make sure it was her.

I guess a lot of these 'realtiy show' folks are pretty much groupies for these things!

Yeah, I noticed her, Max. This is her third reality show, too. She was also on Meet My Parents (or Folks, or whatever).

I think this is the woman you're talking about....I just can't remember if she's the Average Joe woman that picked a hunk at the end and was immediately dumped because she used to live with Fabio. (I tend to confuse the contestants in the two Average Joes.)

Oh, it's definitely her. No doubt in my mind. And yes, she's the one who was immediately "dumped" because she dated Fabio. (Although I think the entire thing was staged.)

Her 15 minutes were pretty fleeting in my book. Heck, I couldn't even remember her name! LOL

Somehow, I got sucked into this show.

You know, it's not bad.

I have to say though, I am so sick of the loud, obnoxious over-the-top people they always find and keep for the sake of drama. That Vivianna chick got on my nerves really fast.

In Eastern Canada we saw it at 7PM because our Election Debates are on now.

My Fav's did not make it..well not all of them anyway :-(

ETA: I agree Scorpio...it was Reg I wanted

Oh yeah..I liked it well enough. It's just that I liked Reg and did not care for Viviana..but what can you do. We don't see it all so don't know what they base their decisions on.

PS SPOILER HERE



Faery will continue to know someone on TV..and Sanfran's three time loser is a loser again.
