I don't know about Dom being a mole.... but he sure appears to be Mark's favorite. When he toppled the tower I thought, now Mark will have to think up some scheme to keep him!

I don't think Dom is a mole either. I just had to make some converstaion for myself this morning. That is something the promos would have shouted from the tree tops. Creates a lot of buzz and interest.

I think the format was already in place and nothing will change. MC had probably planned to keep this person because the assumption was that they would have gotten rid of the biggest threat. They did without knowing it perhaps.

I still think this was planned. Re watching that scene tells the tale.

I think it all looked like one big set up as well. We mused that Dom was a "mole" for MC when he did his guitar bit & smashed it to smithereens.

Who knows? maybe MC really is that quirky.

I want that Linda person gone.
I did not like the yelling they did at that precious little boy last night when he was shooting those baskets!
ugh.

Okay fruit, let me think...

MC has some goofy teeth. The blue team WAS stupid and should have totally lost a lot sooner. I thought it was so mean of Linda and her teammates to heckle the kid when he was trying to make his shots. I also thought they should have made it so the last shots were NOT made by the kids. (I bet the 10 year old blue kid felt like a huge loser. ANd thought it was lame of Mark to tell him this will make him stronger...He didn't go looking to be on this team, they found him.)

I still don't get the last elimination. And it was stupid then for 2 of the last three people to not make a team toot-sweet!

Okay, enough for you to chew on Ms. Bat?

To those who recorded the show, can you tell anything from the previews for next week? I know they are supposed to go out and do something for other people and there was a big argument on the couch.

Which people are out on the street and who all is on the couch?

Fruit, I would have been in here with ya' but for some reason my bosses have wanted me to work today.

Yes Julieboo!
It was beyond anything proper heckling that little boy and what pressure for those two kids.

Fruitbat might be full now but this is good stuff!

Oh yes it is enough Julie and thank you both!

I also thought is was terrible planning to have those kids be the final shot determining who won. They boy who missed the shot will feel humiliation from being seen crying on TV more than missing the shot. Poor kid.

And Linda leading her team in heckling the other boy was lousy as well. I am ready to see Linda leave. If Dom has any weight in the decision she will be the one.

Native_texan...Some people can be so unreasonable.

I think Fruitbat said she has Tivo so maybe she can check this out for us? It did look like a full couch on the right side?

Mind you, my eyes aren't what they used to be.

I also think you have a very good point, Fruitbat...The 3 people could have forced a vote between the 5 & gotten rid of Linda...They didn't even push for it...I smell something fishy...

Native, I am sorry your boss requires you to work. Lousy.

Just watched the promo. The two teams are asked to do random acts of kindness.

The two women are shown handing out flowers to people on the street and Linda and Spencer are in inflated sumo suits apparently bringing laughs to a crowd.

After the challenge is completed MC is watching them all fight about the challenges. Seems they are criticizing the others idea.

MC then says Linda, enough!

MC to camera...I just wanted to see how they took criticism.

Then a shot of Dominic. He was not in the room with them. MC voice over saying, Well Dominic, you are the odd man out.

So MC yelled at Linda, "enough!" ?

I guess he couldn't say worse at 8pm huh?

It is no big surprise that MC found a way to bring Dom back.

I think that the challenges are set up way before the show starts and there is little room to change them. MB has said this. It is far to complicated and impossible to either create or switch a challenge. Too much goes into it and they are created for a sepcific number of people as well.

Everybody, look out! I have an idea.

Dominic gets eliminated at the beginning of the show, but Mark has him stay and either help Mark decide, or Dominic gets to decide by himself, who gets eliminated next.

Whaddaya think?

Something is fishy about the whole thing!!!!

I have rooted for Linda since beginning but her behaviour last night made her go way down in my book.

That poor lil boy! I hope MC gave those kids a trust fund or something.

I think MC was gonna raise that brib even higher..I wish he would have told them after the guy took it....That guy should have thought 'what would Oprah do?' cuz Oprah would have said Hell no!!!! give me more money!!!!!

I wonder if O will have him on her show.

Ok, Fruity, I have to go back to my jury duty but wanted to add my chatty 2 cents!..I wont be back til 5 but I will be comming here to see your thoughts!

Okay but the next time Dom gets tossed & then resurrected, we may have us a conspiracy.


I think you all are on to something with the idea that Dom is able to choose the next to go or judge the next competition...something like that will play out.

Native......EXCELLENT! He may allow Dominic to replace who he eliminates if the name written on MC's card agrees or some other contingency.

Pamy, I will be here waiting. :-) And thank you for rallying. Way to go!

Maui....I am really ready to cry consiracy with this show. I have poo pooed it on all the others.

I do enjoy this show, I think it would have done better in different time slot, I dont get it til 10, this is a show I could watch with my son so i would have liked it to be on at 8.

Why doesnt MC just kiss Dom and get it over with all ready

We get this on the east coast at 8pm. I agree that this is a show kids would like.

MC can't kiss Dom, he is too far up some place else and can't reach his face. This show has reduced me to a crude teenaged boy. I really have to read more.

Native, to work on your idea more. MC will eliminate 2 people based on their performance on the challenge and their behavior in the living room. Dom will move back into the game somehow to create and even number again.

Next challenge will be two teams. Two will be eliminated leaving 2 for the final show.

F2 will be Dom and Femia.

I, too, felt things were weird watching this show o TIVO this morning. (sorry, bat, but I've been gone running kids around, otherwise I would be right here with you, posting away!).

I will rewatch it again. I don't think Dom reacted as if he was worried he had just lost a million so I'm assuming that there was more to the whole situation that we didn't get.

Linda has gotten on my last nerve. She rates right up there with Shawn, in my book. I always have a hard time with arrogance and poor sportsmanship, both which I saw in her. She won't last much longer.

My prediction is Femia to win. If this is the wrong place to post this, I'll redirect. I can't see watermelon girl, Spencer nor Dom and Linda making it to the end.

Pamy, it comes on at 7:00 here in Dallas. Ya'll must get it after football where we get it before.

I think one of the reasons I really get into this show is because I know where they are when they are out and about and, in some cases, have been there myself.

I wonder why the blue team didn't go to SMU like they originally planned. The Premier Club ($$$) is not that far from it. I did feel sorry for that little boy, especially after I thought about what his day at school was going to be like today.

This show only needs one thread. This is the place Auntie. :-)

When you watch the jenga game again you will clearly see how Dom tipped the tower on purpose. It is so obvious you wonder why they didn't reshoot it.
