Just saw a few pieces of it. The girls were too pampered to want to live in the outback. It might make for funny tv moments, but all of them are definitely not his type in real life.

I felt bad about Summer not staying...she was the only one honest with her answers of if she was enjoying the outback!

I really liked the promo for this and then missed it last week.

Thanks for a recap, Watching2, of the guy being on CNN. He is worth watching this show for if nothing else. I can honestly say that none of the bachelors chosen for the other shows (except for Evan) ever made me want to tune in. This guy does! Hmmm, obviously I'm not a "suit" kind of girl, am I?

Well poop. I missed it again tonight. It was listed opposite Last Comic, so I programed the VCR to tape it. Instead, it was on opposite Last Action Star. Grrrrr.......

Hmmm.. it was on opposite Last Comic here in NY, Whoami. I watched Action Star and then this show after it.

I'm not a huge fan of "Jack" since he's not what he's supposed to be. He's a former model who is looking for a model career, and his name's not really Jack. I suppose none of that's surprising for a reality show, but I doubt a lasting relationship will come out of this. I'm sure most of the women are looking for exposure for TV/modeling/singing/whatever careers as well. I've read that parts of the show are kind of staged, too -- a crocodile being brought in since they couldn't find any in the area to film, lizards and creepy crawlies being brought to camp to freak out the women, etc.

Anyway, that being said, I still enjoy the show for the entertainment factor. I don't buy Marissa as the villain quite yet, but Adrienne and Courtney are my favorites so far. It's nice to see an African-American contestant on a dating show last the second round, too.

I'm guessing that Jack will ultimately choose a blond, since he definitely seems to favor them. I don't think he cares too much about whether the women are into nature or more superficial...he wouldn't have kept Mary if that was a big factor.

Oh well. Just my luck they'd switch it around in my neck of the woods. I even ran upstairs in between Last Action and Last Comic, so I could start up the VCR. I got there just in time to see the credits rolling.

The modeling career thing would explain why girls in the outback who hate bugs would have so much bare skin showing. Muse, does "Jack" at least live in Australia? I figured the lady the girls visited last night was his neighbor.

I am thinking that Outback Edward just might not have the same ring to it.

I like Marissa, bizarrely so, since I usually hate the villainess. Thing is, I totally understand. She was probably too aggressive in going for the fish, but there's nothing wrong with being competitive overall. I LOVED that she stole a private make-out session with "Jack"--why not? Why always follow the rules the producers set down? You go, girl!

Adrienne is sweet, but her forehead veins bug. They were so prominent, I was afraid one would pop!

Natalie really bugs. Reminds me of Nicole Richie, with a little Charla from Paradise Hotel thrown in (and I liked Charla). Way too stupid and high maintenance.

I don't get why he kept Mary and Natalie and cut that other girl he seemed to really want to get to know (the one who was afraid to open up). Why not give her a little more time? Dumb.

But he is definitely eye candy. And he seems decent, at any rate.

Oh, and I read that his real name is Vadim, or something like that.

Outback Vadim?? nah..doesn't work either! LOL
I think the title is a play on Kangaroo Jack, the song.

Who, if you want to see it, you know how to do that, right?

What is up with the host getting to be who chooses the next girl to leave? Did Marissa step on his toes? Is she the one to leave?

Any spoilers?

Muse ~ The minute he told the girls he wasn't looking for a woman to "cook" for him, I had to laugh and think - yeah, you're just looking for a good photo op partner. And after seeing that Mary remained, it pretty much solidified that for me.

But of all the guys who have gone on these programs looking to further their careers, at least I actually like looking at this one.

And what's with the blondes? If it weren't for Adrienne, it would look like a young Hugh Hefner with his blonde posse.

I think it's great that both Adrienne and Marissa are strong women but don't like how they're acting toward each other. So I'm betting Cortney takes it all.

Texasannie: "I am thinking that Outback Edward just might not have the same ring to it." LOL!

Deesandy ~ I took it that the girls might be choosing who leaves? Which of course would really start some dramas. And drama seems to be the key thing all producers of these shows are going for these days. Which reminds me, this is all making me want to go see The Stepford Wives. Anyone seen that yet?

I was thinking that maybe one of the girls really crossed the line in doing something not allowed - like trying to sabotage another girl or something. I thought I heard the host say something to the effect that they others weren't going to hear what he said to her?

Even if this guy is a model, I really like how candid he was on CNN about not being in love. He also seems really sweet when he has to elminate the girls. For the life of me, I can't understand why he kept Mary. The other blonde is really questionable too, but at least she wasn't as out of place as Mary. I also thought he would have kept the other girl over Mary.

Where did you find the information about him? Did I miss a link to it higher up in the thread?

Who - they play it again after Sex and the City if you're having problems copying it.

Watching2,
Here is an article from the fan forum on TBS.

Hope this works.

I thought I wouldn't get to watch this because of conflicting schedules - but surfing last night while attempting to fall asleep, there it was on TBS @ 11 pm cst. I hope I'm lucky enough to find it again for future eps.

I think this show is about the funnniest thing I have seen in a long time. I have been LMAO at these "City" girls who don't seem to even know what a bug is. And having them traisping through the outback in evening gowns was the best. I about died from laughing.

Can't wait to see if I am entertained by the show for the whole season. Can't believe he kept Mary either!!!!!

I wish Summer could have stayed on the show. She was beautiful even without makeup, had class and was truthful with her answers. I knew her in Ashville, NC and she probably was the only girl who was really experienced with hiking and fishing. And I am sure she is the only one who had actually cleaned a fish! The show will not be as much fun to watch without her.

Is Summer the one that is actually engaged in real life and only went on the show for exposure. The one I am talking about was evicted as Jack felt she wasn't really interested in him (which is a good thing from her fiance's point of view!)

I thought Summer should have stayed too...she was the only one who stood up and said that it was not fun to sleep with bugs, etc. Maybe "Jack" couldn't handle the honestly or something.
