Joe Schmo is listed as on at 10pm and 11pm EDT. Are there two new episodes, or are they repeating the first episode immediately after airing it?

Hi Tweety, in my listings both are listed as episode #201 with same original air date. So I think it's the premiere show twice in a row. Then it looks like for the week after that, they show the previous week's show the hour before the new episode starts.

I find Spike TV's programming extremely confusing. Fortunately the only thing that I watch on it is Joe Schmo.

Thank's Naja. That actually makes sense! (starting next week, I mean)

Well, the first episode last season was 2 hrs and if I'm not wrong, it was considered two 1 hr shows. So maybe it's the same this time around. If you plan on recording it, I suggest recording both hours just to be safe.

Well I think they topped themselves with this one! All the characters were hilarious....and they got a real wild card in Ingrid, who seems like he's within one step of getting it already. They picked the right one to eliminate right away (as The Drunk is sort of a one-dimensional thing, and you can't do many variations, but the others you can) Can't wait for next week!

The whole black balls thing at the beginning cracked me up. Ingrid is smart, so I wonder if this is going to put somewhat of a damper on the really outrageous things that they may have planned for the future. Also, maybe it's just me, but a couple of times I had to rewind to listen to Derek again because I had a hard time understanding what he had just said, and he has great lines.

Yeah, Ingrid being quite smart is going to keep everyone on their toes. I'm excited to see how this all plays out. I like Ingrid. I'm not liking Tim so much. He's a little too uptight. But watching him crack up during the ceremony was a RIOT! "I was told to get you a gift from the heart, not from Wal-Mart." LOL! For you non-Canadians, Jonathan Torrens--the guy who plays Gerald--is a Canadian actor who has been on, like, every TV show here. He used to have his own teen-oriented talk-show called "Jonovision". I thought he'd be annoying to watch (as he is known to be), but tonight he wasn't so bad. This is going to be a good season.

The Falcon Twist, LOL, this is priceless! I loved it. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it without Matt but I am already into it!

I thought this show was hysterical. Watching Tim trying not to crack up during the Pearl Necklace ceremony was too funny. It was also funny how even though Ingrid is smart about some things, she was clueless as to why the girl kept falling. She never once mentioned her drinking too much and her comment about putting tissue in her panties to cushion her falls was too funny. Does anyone else think he sounds and looks a bit like Charlie Sheen?

watching it tonite didn't compare to last year for me, maybe cuz of the novelty the first time and the Matt factor, but in retrospect it is growing on me already, and i look forward to the next one.. I got more into it after going to the official website. they did a good job and the blogs by the exec producer are great. It's a nice touch having his comments on the show as well. I hated to see the drunk go.. she was adorable and funny... There's a good interview on Jane Shmo with a Seattle newspaper ( i found it with a google search of Ingrid Wiese) She is much less sensitive than Matt was. I think it helped tremendously to have two of them to befriend each other, and not have the 'buddy' character. I think they are basicly admitting that setting up Matt with a fake best friend was a mistake and the one thing that caused him pain.. One tidbit from the blog: the hawk is named after Sigfried and Roy's tiger.. He admits that that is pretty sick...He also says that every moment is taken from other reality shows.. I'm likin' the stalker music.. and always love hearing the Mole music.

Oh I thought this was hysterical! The more into the dating reality shows you are, the funnier this seems! And I LOVED all the promos for "the most exciting elimination ceremony yet." What a hoot! I can't wait for "The Weeper" to start weeping, and "The Stalker" was excellent - especially the hypnotism part, I KNOW there was a guy on one of the dating shows like that, I think it was Mr. Personality??

Alison..yes I remember that guy on Mr Personality!! LOL I loved the show! They have found another 'Matt' in Tim. I was LOL at the beginning when the guy said 'everyone of us listens except Ingrid' LOL Ingrid saying she felt like she was on the Truman show! lol They are going to have to watch out for her.

I watched this show last night for the first time. I had not been in this Thread cause I hadn't seen it... and had no idea what the hell it was about {I came in just at the Pearl Necklace part} but it looked funny enough so I watched the show the second hour. This has to be one of the funniest shows I Have seen in a long while. Scripted or not.... I liked it.

Very Creative people (and I'm still shocked at the necklace - I had no clue of the double entre!) I went over to the "official site" (Thanks Muggum) Spike TV Wanted to share a part of Muggum's blog
quote:We explored a new genre. Prepare yourselves for all the hallmarks of the big ‘relationship show’: romantic off-site dates, bitter struggles for alone time, harrowing visits from family members (both fake and real), hair-raising sessions hooked up to a lie detector, and the ‘promise ceremony’ from hell. Love is truly a battlefield! Of course, there are a ton of smaller differences, but I hope this tides everyone over until we can start talking about individual episodes!
Doesnt sound like Ingrid catches on, another brilliant teaser - of course as any good "prank" they have their ways of making you doubt yourself!! Good line Truman Show!!

I love this show!!! The black balls, the pearl necklace, the lines are hilarious!! When the drunk was falling over in the bunny costume...and how about Ingrid doing her strip tease??? The expression on Tim's face, total disbelief adn concern with the stalker guy was hilarious!! I nearly wet my pants laughing. So many funny things....pearl necklace and Tim trying not to laugh yet miss smarty pants Ingrid not realizing the double meaning. lol Anyway...needless to say I CANNOT wait till next weeks episode!!! What a hilarious show!

I wonder how Jane and Joe Schmo would act if they somehow found out that 2 of their fellow contestants had hooked up and were "getting it on" together in secret. I wonder if they would tell the bachelor or bachelorette in order to get them eliminated. I think it would be fun to see their reactions. I hope they have something like that later in the show. Can't wait for next week! :-)

I'm not sure anyone can ever replace Matt; he took it all so seriously. The only sour note to me was that they described one of them as "the moron"... just not funny. But I loved so many of the touches.. especially the Falcon named after the tiger, too.. snork! I also hope that they realize that instead of going for laughs (say, in their gifts) it is better to play it serious because actually that is funnier. Anyway, I'll watch again.. Pamy, you'll love it!

I'm sorry, this is going to sound terribly un-PC, but when they eliminated only people of color in that first quick elimination, my dh and I cracked up laughing and said "typical". Then when they explained it, we laughed some more ...

I laughed too Ladytex because they dared to be so un-PC. I'm glad they explained it as well -- I love the behind-the-scenes commentary by the creators. The one creator/producer used to post at the FORT, but I just read over there that he won't post there anymore, but is posting somewhere else. Anyone know where???

If "Muggum" is who you're thinking of Brenda, he posted a blog on the Spike.com site - link in my above post... and he did post here!
