Seamonkey | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 09:18 pm     Yep.. they billed it as Friday but showed it on Saturday.. so i just watched it.. now watching rerun of TAR. Scofield dad is indeed a jerk. And his hair is platinum but there are roots.. it does not look like it is natural.. I'm not wild about MCCrae either but Scofield sucks. The Hatmakers had that tshirt but since they went first didn't know to go all out and use it to hold quantities of spiders... The Distals (who are local to me..) only got 13 spiders.. and they are gone.. So the Paganis finally get a bedroom!! As of now i'm rooting for, in this order Paganis Hatfields McCraes Scofields |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 11:20 pm     Hatmakers, Seamonkey, LOL. I expect there will probably be an announcement but last I heard, ElitesTV was doing a chat with the ousted Distel family Tuesday evening. It is listed on the front page at www.elitestv.com. |
Seamonkey | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 11:39 pm     Oh, Juju.. too funny.. surprised I didn't call the McCraes the McCoys. Hatmaker, yesss. Sigh.. now I'm gonna be hearing in my head Waylon and Willie singing "Lukenbach, Texas" in my head all night.. grrr HatMAKER... |
Mssilhouette | Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 12:40 am     Welp I just watched the 2nd episode of under one roof. If that ain't enough proof of Mike Scofield being a serious jerk then I don't know what is. I mean I will give up some stuff to editing but sheesh that prank was NOT FUNNY. What's really sad is that his son is going to grow up to be exactly like him. I'm sorry there's not that much editing in the world to misunderstand what he said when they had the family meeting, "Walk it the F*** off!" The McCrae father really handled the whole matter well considering that this "prank" upset his wife, his daughters and his son. Most people would kick someone's a$$ for talking to their family like that. Especically when it was directed at his wife. He has got to be one serious dimwitted idiot to think that putting any kind of display in front of a family's front door is somehow "cute". As far as that food incident goes, if the wife Distals wanted to talk about the matter then why get all upset and wind up walking out. It's not as if the McCrae father was yelling at her or something. *SIGH* this episode really pissed me off and everything should have been halted after that meeting after they saw how much of a nerve it touched. Someone is really gonna havta tell me what is in that father's mind (Scofield). 'Scuse me but ahh since none of the other families can vote anyone out what is the point of trying to mess with people's heads? All you wind up doing is annoy them which gives them fuel to beat you. This game is not survivor, no one else has the power to vote anyone off. So thinking you're going to play mind games with someone is an insane plan. I admire the McCrae family for pulling it together and being the ONLY family to have the great idea of standing back to back so no spiders will fall. The more Scofield messing with the McCrae family the stronger they seem to get. I won't bother to get into the thing with those two boys bothering the 11 yr old. She had more patience than I did. Sheesh if someone doesn't want to talk, leave them alone. Anyway that's my rant, this last show got my dander up....as you can read. |
Juju2bigdog | Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 08:47 am     I had a big problem with being able to understand the dialog on this last episode, so I was not able to tell whether the boys were harrassing the 11 year old or not. I just knew her mother got mad and came over and told them off. |
Ark | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 07:30 am     Was anyone else bothered by the little girl that was afraid of the spiders? I don't care when adults make the decision for themselves to do something they scares them but that little girl was petrified to be anywhere near the spiders but she was forced to participate. I hope they don't continue to do things like that with the kids or I don't think I'll be able to watch. I didn't think that the older boys were saying anything out of line to the 11 year old but I thought maybe we didn't get to see everything because of editing. To me it looked like the mom was over reacting due to past tensions but like I said, it may have been the editing. |
Julieboo | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 08:14 am     Help? Can some kind soul explain the "prank" in more detail? Also can you explain what the "food incident" was? Thanks And I promise to watch it myself this week!!!!! |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 08:53 am     Julieboo, they took all the spare furniture, like patio chairs and wastebaskets and piled them about six feet high and four feet wide in front of the McRae's bedroom door. The wastebaskets containing used "bathroom" trash were also in the pile. For some reason, Larry McRae thought it was part of a challenge at first and went through the trash and found some nasty stuff in there. Well, okay, they said sanitary napkin on television. Guess we can say it here. Obviously this was part of the prank that was not intended, but ... The food incident was just general sniping among the families about who was eating how much food. The McRae family seemed to be singled out as either eating too much food or wasting food. One of the mothers, maybe Distel, pointed out that the McRae's are a family of five while others are only families of four. An upcoming part of the show seems to be that when they run out of the initial food they were supplied they are going to have to barter with the local villagers for all of the rest of their food. |
Tksoard | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 09:11 am     Ark, I'm with you on that!! I couldn't believe any parent could or WOULD do that to their own child!! My hubby said it was child abuse. I agreed completely. (??) I'm scared of spiders too, but she was just Horrified. Everyone was saying that the McCreas were eating what ever and whenever they wanted to. I couldn't believe when Larry said "They were just leftovers! No one eats leftovers!" HUH??? Also, in the trash it was not only SN, but USED SN. Those #@$%%$ (I can't even think of a name bad enough for them) Scoffields just sat back and laughed. I'm about to smack that Mike in the mouth. He has to be brought down vvvvv!! He was like a little boy. AAARRGGG!! He makes me angry!!! Enought!!  |
Julieboo | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 09:49 am     Thanks Juju! |
Firebird05 | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 10:31 am     I only saw parts of the show. Weather people kept breaking in to tell us it was raining. I was really surprised in the first episode that one of the mothers did't tell the idoit dads to stop acting like that in front of the kids. I would have. I didn't like the McCrae"s that much but feel differently after the ugly "prank" was played on them. The Scofields are not nice people and I hope they are out next. I didn't care for the way they treated the little girl with the spiders. I would never scare my child like that, especially not for a stupid game. Can someone tell me how the Distels lost, I was getting it's raining in blah blah at that time? |
Julieboo | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 10:58 am     They had the least amount of spiders. They went first, so they had the disadvantageof not learning from watching the others. Plus they didn't know how many they really needed to have. I didn't like how scared the little girl was either, but they did not make her do it. The dad held her while the others did it. And they did it with less than 4 people cuz the dad and girl didn't particiapte.... (So they do get credit for that) |
Firebird05 | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 11:43 am     Thanks Julieboo. It was hard to figure out because I would get the show for two minutes then weather for 10. If they had tried to make me touch spiders I would scream and cry too. |
Mssilhouette | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 12:22 pm     As far as the girl who was terrified of spiders I was wondering why someone didn't just tell her to close her eyes so she won't see them. Instead of dragging her into the square. Also why did the producers say "Hey look we didn't know she was this terrified, she can sit out" Oh well, I guess we'll wait until next week to see more drama. By the way, I'm all calmed down now...but I don't think the Scofields or McCrae's are going anywhere, they bring too much conflict into the show, which otherwise would be kinda boring. I still can't stand Mike Scofield and that prank was just nasty, cruel and pointless. |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 05:09 pm     I gather that the entire family had to be in the square sort of near the spiders for the competition to take place. |
Seamonkey | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 06:48 pm     I thought they handled the little girl ok.. she wasn't the only one who was totally creeped out and they also have two families with 3 kids instead of two so they could just sit one kid out. From what we saw, I'd say the mom overreacted.. the 11 year old was interacting with older kids in the way of preteens and teens anywhere. Her mom jumped in (which usually makes it worse). I've noticed that there is quite an undercurrent with several of the families, griping about the others' kids.. which is guaranteed to raise hackles on any parent. Also an undercurrent of "my parenting is better than yours.." ================ How the Distals Were Sent Home: OK.. after the first competition the ribbons were: Hatmakers 4 Distal 3 McCrae 2 Scofield 1 Pagani 0 Then Pagani family spent the night in the old church, but didn't get the puzzle so they netted 1 ribbon Hatmaker 4 Distal 3 McCrae 2 Scofield 1 Pagani 1 Then they had the spider challenge They competed in order of high to low ribbons.. Hatmaker 27 spiders 1 ribbon, total 5 Distal 13 spiders 0 ribbons, total 3 McCrea 35 spiders 2 ribbons, total 4 Scofield 38 spiders 3 ribbons, total 4 Pagani 45 spiders 4 ribbons, total 5 So Distals went home, Paganis got a bedroom and the standings are: Hatmaker and Pagani tied with 5 ribbons each McCrea and Scofield tied with 4 ribbons each. And my tvguide for LA UPN shows baseball on Friday AND Saturday night this week.. ACK!! |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 10:27 pm     Reminder of getting any questions you might have for the booted family. Gail set up a thread in this section. Not sure when the chat is, although it could be soon. If there is something you are curios about, feel free to offer it up as a question. |
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, April 02, 2002 - 08:29 am     Bad news all...UPN just pulled the show, according to EOnline....the ratings were horrible (and TAR 2 reruns were pulled too) |
Julieboo | Tuesday, April 02, 2002 - 08:33 am     Is this a delayed april's fool joke???? |
Grooch | Tuesday, April 02, 2002 - 08:38 am     If you go to the UPN website it says it's on Hiatus. That is all. But of course the ratings sucked. It was never on where I lived. |
Julieboo | Tuesday, April 02, 2002 - 08:39 am     I went to etonline and saw nothing about Under One Roof, so I hope "you got me"! |
Julieboo | Tuesday, April 02, 2002 - 08:44 am     ooops, I looked at etonline, instead of eonline. But after checking them both, I see nothing about it getting cancelled.... |
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, April 02, 2002 - 09:04 am     http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hollywoodreporter/television/brief_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1455684 or look in "First Look" in Eonline...I said it was pulled, not canceled...they have to show the series eventually, like "Mole 2", which was also in that time slot and got pulled... |
Julieboo | Tuesday, April 02, 2002 - 09:11 am     Oh man! :o ( How many total episodes of this? Anyone know? |
Digilady | Tuesday, April 02, 2002 - 09:19 am     The show was cancelled. Just talked to a reliable source. It failed in 10 major markets... as it wasn't shown there. Got preempted. No chat tonight... RATS! Off to alert a ton of peeps, and thanks for considering the chat. |
