I just watched my tape of this show. aaaaaack those guys! I wouldn't have picked any of them, but since they were the choices, I guess they did pick the right one.

Chris actually told the truth 58% of the time and Kory 38% of the time. Chris answered his questions faster, too. I guess you can when you're telling the truth more often. Chris did lie (according to the lie detector test) about having slept with an ex-girlfriend's mother. aaack! Kory just flat out lied about more.

Chris did seem to care more for Senta than the others but it could be his "sincere act" --- who knows? I was very disappointed that there was no follow-up to see how the week in Hawaii went and to see if they are still together today.

Julie, there were also no previews here where I live so you were not dreaming.

I guess I'll watch again if nothing else is on. The stunts they made the guys do at dinner were just plain silly. I couldn't see how that had any bearing on how they would be as potential dates for the daughter.

I thought Chris had a 58 (possibly 68, but I really think 58) and Kory had a 38. Both would be an "F"!

Anyone know the scores for sure?

I thought the lie detector was a terrible idea. What choice did the boys have? "Will you try to sleep with my daughter?" Well geez, I can tell the truth and have daddy hate me or I can lie and try to get away with it. I would have taken a shot with the lie too. As a mother, I would have refused to chose between those 3 guys and just kicked them all out of my house. Then I would have located my daughter and had a talk with her about lap dancing in a hot-tub with 3 guys she had just met. LOLOL

Thanks Tess! I'm also glad to hear that I wasn't the only one who didn't see scenes. Makes me feel a little bit sane.

(And I guess I really like silly then!)

Oh sorry Julie, I didn't even read that part where you liked the dinner scene.
It did make for some amusing moments I suppose but I think that's the only pupose it served.

I get amused verrrrry easily! (Probably too easily!) Maybe that's why I like SpongeBob so much! :)

And I've been accused of acting and/or having the humor of a sophomore. (or younger!) Maybe that's why I married someone several years younger than I am!

That was a compliment Bob! A very deep (can't think of a better adjective) compliment!

Bob2112

Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 11:28 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Yes, it is very deep!
It's so deep that it's messing up my squeaky boots! :)

...did J.Bo say something about being easy?...

See Tess. I am very amused by Bob's comments here! :)

I'm only easy in very certain situations!

(can I say "very certain"?)

Hey Bob! What the heck are you doing way over here? I was using you as a pillow back over there------------>

Julie, I agree, Bob is very silly.

Julie, I have to agree with you.....I thought the show was hilarious. Oh my, that dinner scene had me laughing like crazy:) I liked the show in that it was more from a parents perspective. Who cares what age the girl is, she will always be Daddy's little girl. It seemed like it was tough for her Dad to make a decision like that and that is why he got all emotional at the end......after he was trying to be a tough guy most of the show. I did feel just a little sorry for the guys. BUT, that made the show fun too.
I was waiting at the end as well for previews of the next show and my local news came on right after. NO PREVIEWS:(

Folks, don't forget the new episode comes on TONIGHT at EIGHT o'clock. AT least it doesn't conflict with any of our other shows!

Wow the 2nd show isn't like the first show at all.

I predict there will be a lie-detector test.

I'm starting to lose my enthusiasm for this show.

feels like we've been down this road before.

Will I keep watching? Sure,I have nothing better to do :)

Crap. I wanted to say that.

I think this will only work if they don't tape any new episodes after it has aired. Because it's the shock on those guys' faces when the ex-girlfriends arrive that is so priceless. It's only funny because they're all so surprised.

I give up. Two episodes is all I can stomach. Next week, I'll watch "30 seconds to fame" instead. I thought that show was hilarious when I saw the first one!

Max,
How can you not watch next week? I, too was about to give up, but when I saw next week's Dad in camoflouge with a whistle I was sucked back in!

'Cause I'm confident it will be the same formula, just stepped up a notch on the tension meter. Again, dad will probably dismiss the nicest guy and pick the one the daughter says she has no romantic interest in thinking he's protecting her from the big bad wolf. <YAWN!>

Sorry, 30 seconds to fame sounds a lot funnier to me. :)

Max, boy did you call that one right. I've now seen 3 of these and they are absolute carbon copies of each other. They need to throw in some twists and turns. The notch on the tension meter hasn't even gone up. Too bad- I think the premise of the show had promise.

I agree Max. Same format. Don't you know the guys are going to start getting savvy to the "tests" and be prepared.

I can't believe the so-called friends of these people!

A guy I work with is dating a gal whose brother is involved with the Meet My Folks show. I'm not sure what his involvement is. Anyway, they are going to LA in September and will be visiting him. The guy I work with says he's going to have a hard time saying anything positive about the show. Hmmm... hard to make a good impression with big brother when you think what he does for a living is playing to the lowest common denominator of the TV viewing audience. :)

A sperm count test? Now THAT's telling as to "who would be good for" your daughter. Shallow much?
