I actually watched this show tonight. I think I like it better then Temptation Island.

I am not sure I understood the big attraction to Rebecca. I like Andrea though - she seems like a pretty nice lady.

I really liked the show too, but could have done without the shot of Rebekah putting on tons of deodorant!

I watched the Hamptons, and boy was that stupid. A bunch of rich snobs showing off their "wares". All on ego trips, but I guess that's why it was done. I'm going to watch "Alaska" in 10 minutes, west coast feeds, and I hope it is better than the Hamptons.

I was entertained. I'll probably watch the next episode.

I dislike Rebekah. What a fake. And how stupid these guys are to fall for it. I mean, she asks a guy for a massage, and so they've automatically "made a connection"? And she goes to sit next to someone, so she's obviously interested in them? Ugh. I found it pretty amusing when she got to choose from a total of four guys, and got to cut the other three. Stupid three. She'll probably wind up just having a big ole "dowry" (heh), and dump all of the guys and keep it to herself. Perhaps that makes her the smartest of all the women...lol. Anyway, I sort of get the impression that Rebekah's the type who craves attention from men, but doesn't get enough to make her happy back in L.A. But in this game, where she's arguably the best looking woman there, she's quite content. Hope she didn't pick her new "Man on Ice" based on his writing skills, btw. That poetry was really, really bad. Funny, though. :)

Btw - what was up with riding bikes in snow and ice? Whose bright idea was that? And how about putting the temperature up? Um...it's Alaska. And there's snow on the ground. It's probably safe to assume it's below freezing, thank you.

That one guy (sorry, can't remember his name) who made the basket was a total dork. The basket was kind of cute, but he was WAY too giggly and strange. I was happy he chose Andrea over Cecile (are those the right names?), though. Cecile seems obnoxious. And a drama queen, too...at least in the previews.

It's East Coast Swank vs. West coast Snow--battle of the concept reality shows! Funny how the underlying concept is the same--bag a mate.

So far I like Sissie.

I think Rebecah's WAY too skinny--I still haven't accepted that's what the majority of guys really like. Sigh.

I think the thing with Rebecah is that she paid attention to each and every guy, making the effort to get to know each of them (well, a little ... enough to possibly make them think she had an interest ...) So, the question is, did she do that to be better able to choose, or did she do it to "outdo, outlast, outplay" the other women?

My husband disliked Re puke a. He thought she is a phoney, and said
the guys that were falling all over her were stupid.

We like the one blond woman who kept her first man, the man with the nice eyes,
and dark hair, he is divorced.
He seems like a nice guy.

That's Sissie--from Mississippi. Hey that rhymes! She's an interior designer, and seemed the only non-neurotic in the bunch to me.

Does wanyone know:

Are the "second/third/fourth string" men from the ORIGINAL pool of 50?

ITA!! I had to laugh in retrospect. She said she was nothing like the typical California girl, but she seemed to embody all the bad stereotypes of shallow party girl to me!

The guys were way stupid to think the fact she feigned interest in them meant they had a chance in hell of bagging her. Bad strategy, too, since there was so much competition, it caused three of them to get cut. If they had been smart, they would have picked one of the other girls to improve their odds (they could also cozy up to Rebekah later). Besides, it's starting to look like Rebekah just did it to add to her dowry.

I like Sissie a lot. She seems really sweet, and her Man on Ice (LOL!! That's funny) seems nice, too. I hope they make it.

Nashbag, I think the new four were from the original pool of 40 or so.

From the previews, it looks like some guy dumps on Rebekah. Cool!

Oh, and ITA the basket-maker guy (Thadeus?) was yucky! Bizarre fellow, weird looking, who thinks way too highly of himself.

True to my ambivalence over watching this.. I did go up and set the VCR.. (the one I use the least) and while I was brushing my teeth realized it was flashing cuz I failed to put in a tape ..

Oh well.

This show is so mah-va-lously bad, a worse train wreck than TI! I LOVE it!! The whole dowry thing just makes me feel like I'm watching the feminist movement being set back a century. I also like Sissy, but three words: hot oil treatment. Actually I like all the girls, even Rebekah, who I like since she's so easy to hate...makes it more fun!! Can't wait til next week!

Ketchup.. actually, I feel somewhat relieved; I cannot watch it.. bwahahahahaaaa! Not to say I won't watch it next week.. well depends on what else is going on.

Ketchup.. bet you can't wait to see the Anna Nicole Smith Show!!!

Hatin' Rebekah!! I'm having Toni flash backs (Love Cruise). This was a really fun show, but I was depressed to watch all these men fall for the fake and flirty Rebekah! Guys always seem to like these girls and I can never figure out why! They seem so obvious to me, but men always fall for it. I almost fell over with the dowry thing..I was like, please tell me they did not go there! LOL!

All in all, not a bad show to watch at this time of year...I'm going to enjoy it!

(I can't believe people actually watched the Hamptons..blah..that just LOOKED like a big snoozefest!)

I sort of liked Sissie, too. Which is strange, because I cringed when she said she wanted to be a "baby machine" in the beginning, and was sure I wouldn't like her. But she and her Man on Ice (ha!) seem somewhat...normal. Er, well, in comparison to most of the other people on the show, at least.

I hope Jack gets seriously mocked by his friends and family for coming up with that horrific poetry, btw. So bad. SO bad. :)

I'm from Alaska and the sad part is those men
are pretty typical. And it makes me nuts that
they bring women in from the lower 48 like we
don't have single women here. The men here
that are not married, are single for a reason.
So actually Rebecca may get what she deserves
unless as someone suggested she takes the money
and runs.... They taped this up the highway
from my house at a Resort hotel. The local all
felt that the group was snobs.

Hi Warlordak!! I was wondering whythey were bringing strangers up there. I knew there had to be women already there!! They act like they've never seen a woman before!! The show is really entertaining, but watching those guys drool over Reb. is sickening!! She is really playing them, and they are falling for it. Idiots!! Welcome out of Lurkdom!!
