I loved the finale. It was good to see them all having fun and supporting each other. Jared even surprised me..I started rooting for him to win! LOL

I am so happy Corrine won, she is beautiful..did anyone else get the feeling her and Jeanne have something going on?

It will be fun to see the movie

So NBC didn't air the second to last episode?! I complained to TV Guide that they spoiled when they named the final four in the episode description after we had last seen episode in which nos. 7 and 8 were eliminated.

Why didn't they cut that episode when no one was eliminated? I really liked the dark guy (John?) and would have liked at least an explanation of why he went. Grrrr :-(.

I liked Corrinne, but would have prefered Jared over Sean, Sean's too "jock"-looking.

I still can't believe they would just not air the episode that Melisande & John were cut on!!! What's with that??? Corrine was a former cop here in Ottawa. Interesting. I think their choices were good.

I'm glad I'm not CRAZY!!!! I came in a couple of minutes late at the start and just saw Melisande whispering in Jared's ear and then there were only 4 people there! I kept thinking, wait, did they air the other episode a day early or something?!!! I'm really ticked they did that, too. What a joke to be strung along all this time and then they cut out an episode. How stupid was that?!!#@#%$#@%~!!!! Grrrrrrrr! I really liked John, too, and would have loved to see his last screen test, etc. NBC really messed up doing this. I couldn't decide who I wanted to win. As much as I had starting liking Sean better and disliking Jared more, the last episode Jared was much more likable and he MUST HAVE done something really well the week before to have them saying how he got it together and proved himself. I think I liked Jean a wee-bit better, although, I can see how Corinne was much better physically. I think Jeanne had some kind of softness to her which balanced her a bit. Anyway, I can't complain about either of them winning, since I did like both of them, but I'm still ticked NBC did that to the series.

I just went over to NBC's website to look up the movie next week. There is nothing about it there,had trouble even finding the title,which is "Hit Me."
Really ticks me off they have done this. I swear,I saw Billy Zane in the preview of the movie last night. Did anyone else catch that?
Kitt,I think they just decided to cut the episode a couple of days ago. I found out about it about a couple of hours before the show aired.
Also,some people were mad because tvguide.com listed the name of the four finalist before the show aired.
What a load!

There you will find a link to a recap of the lost episode. The movie is called "Bet Your Life" and is on the schedule to come on next Wednesday at 8 eastern.

For Tivo owners. The Tivo guide still lists the Wednesday show as Next Action Star, with the title of that episode being "Bet Your Life", so the Tivo season pass will record it automatically.

Oh I hate that... I missed it then as I was waiting for next week. I really wanted to see Jared's face when he did not win. Don't know now if I want to watch the movie then.

Aussie, as I remember, Jared took it pretty well. No big reaction.

I don't have the full scoop yet, but a friend went to a party this weekend and she ran into Santino and she asks him about the show, more particularly she's asked is Vivianna as bad as she seemed on the show, his response was "Here ask her yourself", apparently she was at the party also and they have been dating since they finished filming the show a year ago. My friend said she didn't look anything like she did on the show.

About that time my cell phone cut out, so I didn't find out anything else yet. If I find out any more details about any of the other contestants I will post as so as soon as I find out.

Bet Your Life
120 mins.

Next Action Star winners Sean Carrigan and Corinne Van Ryck de Groot are put to the reel test in this 2004 made-for-TV movie, the culmination of the reality contest. He plays former pro quarterback Sonny Briggs, she's a bounty hunter named Carmen and the plot is basically a variation on the classic story “The Most Dangerous Game,” in which one man hunts another for sport. In this case, a psychopath named Joseph (Billy Zane), who framed the jock for murder, offers him more than $2 million if he can stay alive for 24 hours. The game starts in Las Vegas, but what Sonny doesn't know is, it's been rigged.

Cast: Sean Carrigan,Corinne Van Ryck de Groot,Billy Zane,Jeanne Bauer,Jared Elliott

Category: Movie, action/adventure

Director: Louis Morneau

Release Year: 2004


Looks like Jeanne and Jared got a part in the movie too.

Don't forget to watch tonight.

Billy Zane is in this movie? Isn't he the guy who was in Titanic and who was notorious for being a total jerk after the success of that movie? Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Hi Scorpio. Billy Zane is indeed the Titanic guy (Rose's finace) but I don't know about the bad reputation. He hasn't been in much for the last few years, so maybe that's why.

I don't think I can bear sitting through the movie!! Let me know how it was!

Oh,it's baaaaaad. The acting isn't bad,the writing is dismal.
The story also really focused mainly on Sean. All Corinne is doing is following him around! That stinks!

Are the special effects any good? The ones in the sequences they did for the shows were terrible. I wonder how big a budget they got.

Hippyt was right. This movie was HORRID!

The dialogue! UGH! The dialogue was AWFUL!

The plot sucked so bad.

Sean's acting was really stiff. But then again, Billy Zane, Mr. Professional Actor, wasn't that great either.

Corinne seemed to be doing the best she could with total crap. She looked good though.

The special effects and the stunts weren't too bad, I thought.

The ending was an interesting little twist I never saw coming (the thing about it all being a real-life reality TV show).

I saw Jeanne for a moment. I didn't see Jared.

I never expected this movie to be Oscar-worthy. But man, it was bad.
