Crazydog and Neko, I also noted "Widow's" ridiculous clothing, hair and make-up and told my husband that I think Widow is insecure about his looks without the make-up. I think he must be average-looking or even geeky-looking--but wishes he were strikingly attractive. Since he's NOT, he disguises his true looks with outlandish make-up, hair, clothing & accessories in order to attract attention.

He figures the negative attention is attention, after all, and since he can't turn heads with stunning good looks he might as well get people to look at him--if only he could hear everyone laughing.

I was stunned by his utter lack of knowledge about very simple, commonly known things. He absolutely STANK at the trivia game!

Disclaimer: I am not, nor do I claim to be, a psychologist of any sort; I just gave some thought to the poor schlub & am hazarding a guess as to what makes him willing to submit himself to public humiliation.

Does anyone else here think that these 6 contestants would make good little hampsters in the BB house? Just imagine the joy of watching Widow put on his makeup daily. :)

Oh the puns I could make about that last line, Neko. But I will not.

The last triva question. Colin Powell?!?!?!?
He has been neither President nor Vice President.

((Dee slaps her own hand to keep from making that pun))

Tonight's installment of "Dog Eat Dog" was moderately entertaining. I enjoyed hearing my husband complain that the cutie in his skivvies (pictured above, thanks to Neko) must SHAVE his body! I thought it was cute that DH was so offended by the young man's beautifully-sculpted abs.

(That part didn't bother me; the most difficult thing to watch for ME was the huge, claw-like feet of the final pair of Baywatch-wanna-be bikini-clad bimbos clutching the hopelessly tiny platforms like chimpanzees!)

DeeDee, I absolutely howled with laughter at the girl who said that "Collin" (as she pronounced 'Colin,' which sounds just like 'colon') Powell had been both U.S. President and VP, but without having been elected to either post. I was fairly screaming at the TV, "Gerald Ford, you idiot! Gerald FORD!!!!"

Maybe I should hope that DED is cancelled; it brought my bp up several notches at that point and my swollen feet/ankles began to throb painfully.

I missed most of it last night because there was a power outage in my area. The only stunt I think I saw was the first one where a girl had to run through a spinning cage collecting flags. The power came back on just as the idiot was proclaiming that Colin Powell has been President. And Brooke's big dramatic pause before announcing the answer? Complete cheese.

Could someone please recap the other stunts? This strip golf thing looked funny, but I'm assuming that he wouldn't have had to go all the way. But that only leaves shirt and pants. He only got three shots?

Sia,

Holy crapola!! That Colin Powell comment cost me 2 bits worth of Perrier water through the nose. RFLOL!!! I am Cdn and I was yelling FORD at the TV too LOL Wouldn't have been too bad if she had just named ANY President, but to think someone like Powell who is so prominant in the news had ever been President was just sad. And did you see her face at the crowd's reaction? She still didn't get it. heehee The one that got Toto wrong could be forgiven, it was probably before her time.. that panel was pretty young.

Crazy.. can't help with all the stunts, I was channel flipping. The first was a wire cage shaped like a horizontal windmill. There was a red and a blue flag at the end of each arm. As the thing spun around (pretty dang fast btw), the person had to move around and grab all the blue flags then all the red flags and make it back to the middle before the time was up. She didn't make it. The second stunt was unbelievably easy. Another woman (the one who ended up winning) had to jump in the pool and grab a ball, dive under and insert it into a box at the bottom of the pool. There were five balls in all I think. She breezed through it in less than half the time. I missed the nude golfing and caught half the next. A large metal ferris wheel (with no seats) that had flags hanging on the outside. The person had to crawl around the wheel to grab all the flags, the man fell off as he was grabbing for the last one. Then was the last challenge btn the two remaining women. They had to stand on teeny platforms (6"inch squares) way above the pool and just outlast the other with a balancing act. The girl with the long black hair did great until the "rain" started.

2 socks, two shoes, and shirt, and pair of pants.
Then, he was left in his skivvies...

He came really close to getting it in twice but just missed..

He would have made it if he had taken off his boxers but then, i don't think he would have made the water challenge.

Tuesday, June 25, 2002 - 10:44 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I think you are right, Neko. He could not have done the balancing, and then he would have been naked on world television for nothing. Good point.

Neko

Tuesday, June 25, 2002 - 12:08 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
They may have not done the balancing act if he had made it...

It might have been done since they were two girls.
I might have been different it the final two had been two guys...or a guy and a girl..

Neko, are you sure you are only 16? Can I go to camp with you?

LoL
Yep..I'm pretty sure!

*Looks over her birth certificate*

Yep..that's what it says! 1986.

And yes, you can come to camp with me..
IF...you can find where it is!!

*Evil laugh*

So I take it he had to get the ball in the hole, and with each stroke he could choose to continue by taking off a piece of clothing? Did he have the choice to go butt nekkid? Seems like it from what you are all saying. I know it's only 25 grand, but to pass up the chance just because you don't want some strangers to see you naked? It would obviously be blurred out on TV. They did it on Fear Factor, after all.

Kady

Tuesday, June 25, 2002 - 07:48 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Each time he missed, he got to move up to another line closer. If he had taken off his undies, he could have putted from the "naked" line, which was really close.

Crazydog, the strip-golfer was down to just his underwear and had just one line left from which to attempt the putt when he decided to go to the "Dog Pound." He wouldn't have won the $25,000 at that point, but would have remained on the panel of active players and would still have been in competition for the whole sum. He said he didn't think he'd make the shot even if he had more chances, so he just went to the Dog Pound so he wouldn't have to remove his undies in front of all those people.

By joining the Dog Pound he did reduce his potential winnings to only $5,000 (the five members of Dog Pound split the kitty if they defeat the "Top Dog"--or whatever the last competitor is called--in the final trivia round).

On that show, though, the last girl won the entire $25,000 and the Dog Pound folks won no money--just got to show their wares on TV for potential movie roles and sit-com jobs. Strip-golfer didn't do all those ab-crunches for nothing!

Well excuuuuuuuuuse meeeeeeeeeee. That guy missed one R in J.R.R. Tolkien. Who the heck uses 3 initials anyway?

Geogirl

Monday, July 01, 2002 - 07:28 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I agree! They should've given him the point for that one Ketchup! Its not like he said a wrong initial, he just left one out. That's too picky.

Crazydog

Monday, July 01, 2002 - 09:13 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I have decided that the people on this show are even stupider than the clowns they found for the Weakest Link. I agree that JRR Tolkien was picky, but the way he said it he was such an a$$ that I'm glad they didn't give it to him. He should have just said Tolkien.

I laughed watching that big football player try to walk on that drum. It didn't look like it was being dipped in water and he looked like he was having problems even though it was slow. I thought the high heel walk was unfairly slanted against the men. The celebrity game was darn near impossible - the only ones I could recognize were Cameron Diaz and Benicio "I looked stoned and sleepy even back then" Del Toro.

I found every one of those last trivia questions were ridiculously easy.

The problem with this show is there's too much delay. I don't really care why the people are being chosen, and there's a lot of dead space while waiting for the contestants to come up with the trivia answers.

I think one of the reasons I've watched most of every episode of this show is because of the stupidity of the contestants. It's just really amusing to hear some of their answers to the trivia questions at the end. "Johnson"? I bet she didn't even know his first name. And she obviously had no clue that he wasn't even born yet when Washington was president.

I think the only one I would've gotten right with the yearbook game would be the Benicio Del Toro one. And I love movies. I subscribe to Entertainment Weekly. That game was *way* too tough.

I thought the two younger guys were both jerks. The guy who wore the heels seemed like a poor sport who took the game too seriously, and the other one seemed very arrogant.

I find the host more annoying in each episode. She says everything the same way. The perky I'm-reading-cue-cards voice. Ugh.

Rissa

Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 08:14 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I am starting to worry about where they get these people. LOL Once again I knew an answer that I figured would be easy for anyone who went through the American school system(which I didn't). Or at least I had a good guess that turned out to be right. First Vice-president? Well, who was the 2nd President? I knew that...John Adams, so he would have been my guess. At least if they picked someone from the right time period, it wouldn't be so funny. And I agree with you guys about the Tolkien answer, I would have just said Tolkien too.

I like this show although the host is kind of dumb (IMHO)... I like how it's a mix of trivia and physical challenges. Hopefully it will last. Fear Factor begins its new series tonight... I enjoy them being back to back.

I couldn't have gone naked like that!!

Is anyone finding Greg familiar?? He looks like someone but the name won't come to my head!!

It's driving me insane!!!

I just have to add that this show is awful. I saw it last nite at 7pm. The time is what mostly got my attention. My son came to us at the time Marrisa was taking all her clothes off on TV, for the CHANCE to win. I was mortified to hear my son say that he would do it for a car. 25,000.
I think this show has gone too far. Naked on TV? Even though it is blurred.
Actually all that isnt even my problem. I was embarrassed for that womans family. Those are the stupid things you do as kids when you have to much to drink and wish it never happened. IMO.

I wouldn't be so embarrassed over the nudity as the ignorance. Those are some seriously stupid people. The questions at the end weren't that hard, but they got most of them wrong. Allowances aside for those who have a mental block when it comes to math, there is no excuse for the average adult not to know what 20% of 50 is.

Muse

Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 02:29 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
The nudity didn't bother me too much. I wouldn't do it, but some people are more comfortable with that sort of thing. They did the same thing on Fear Factor (only six contestants did it, and they even had to stand on a revolving stage for two minutes), and it looks like they do it on Road Rules this season as well. Plus we've seen exhibitionists on The Real World, Survivor, etc. I don't think it's the same as selling their bodies or anything. :) If they don't care, or if they can deal with it - go for it.

I agree with Guinevere on the ignorance, however. I can understand that the contestants might have trouble coming up with answers under the pressure and circumstances of the game, but this goes beyond that. I'm *amazed* by how stupid these people are. Do they give them some sort of knowledge/trivia/IQ test before they go on or something? Those who do better than a certain point aren't allowed to become contestants? :)

Did anyone see the "celebrity" edition? To be fair, I think they called them "reality show celebrities". Susan and Richard from Survivor I, Kaia and Ytossie from Temptation Island I, Kato Kaelin and Darva Conger. The final two came down to Susan and Ytossie balancing on poles in the water. Poor Ytossie fell within 15 seconds or so, I think her breasts must have tipped her over. And did you notice that it looked like her bikini top was probably deemed too revealing? They made her put on a black sports bra looking top over her suit which was peeking out from underneath.

At least none of them seemed incredibly stupid in the final trivia challenge - Richard missed Basic Instinct but it seemed to be the kind of question where it's on the tip of your tongue but you just can't remember. I know Ytossie missed Jackie Kennedy's maiden name (Bouvier) but I don't fault her for that. Darva got Norm's name on Cheers and Kaia missed one I can't remember. Kato didn't have to answer because Susan had won when Richard missed. Susan seemed genuinely happy. I have to say, I disliked Susan on her show but every time I've seen her after that, whether commenting on the current Survivor, BB2, Weakest Link, she strikes me as a funny and tough cookie. She's a hoot.

it was nice to see Susan beat Richard! She played the game really well, and Richard handled his defeat well, altho he could have given up a little sooner.

The question Kaya missed was about two songs that came from a recent musical/play that was based on La Boheme. The answer was Rent.

Okay, now my question - what reality tv show was Kato Kaelin on?

Rissa

Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 12:46 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Karuuna, Kato is the world's most famous houseguest and the star of the O.J. Simpson trial. LOL He was mooching, oops I mean staying with O.J. when the murders occurred.

I am about ready to give up on this dog umm show. The first 45 minutes just drag for me and there is always at least one question at the end that makes me want to clobber the would-be answerer. I agree with Crazydog that Richard just could NOT get the name of the movie out.. no biggie and that if you aren't a broadway fan then not knowing Rent is forgivable as well. But Bouvier??? Please, one of the most famous women of our time. Not to mention that most of the time they mentioned her on the news they actually USED her maiden name...Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onasis (sp.?)

BTW, was it just me or when that guy was trying to cry and Rich/Kato were adlibbing in the dog pound.... Richard did not pull his pants down as much as he opened his zipper and whipped it out then whipped it around? LOLOL I don't have a problem with nudity but that was just obscene flashing to me. I kept yelling at the guy to stop trying to think of sad things. A better way would have been to stare at one of the bright studio lights and not blink or get into the comedy routine and laugh himself silly (they were pretty good for a couple strangers who were adlibbing).

Glad Susan won !! Kato is useless, no-one from temptation island deserved it (IMO), Richard already got his cheque and Darva just ticks me off. LOL Is this their money btw, or going to charity? Usually these things are for charity but I didn't hear it mentioned.

Karuuna

Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 01:20 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I missed the first half of the show, so I didn't see the flashing incident. I'm glad I missed it.

I knew Kato was OJ's oblvious houseguest, but I guess I didn't think that qualified as being a reality tv contestant. That was more like surreality.

As far as I could tell Susan got the money. Richard held out giving up because he kept saying "I really don't want you to get this money." Nice guy, eh?

Where do they find these people? I couldn't believe that girl who answered Asia for the question that asked something about the largest land area in the Americas. I would at least hope she would answer something that was located on one the continents that had America in it, whether it be Canada, US, Mexico. The other contestants sitting by her looked embarrased for her.

I was embarrassed for her too! I'm sure she'll get teased about that for awhile from friends and family....as she should! LOL
