From the previews of next week, looks like the dads in the McRae (the African-American guy) and the Skofield (the dad looks like he has bleach-blonde hair) families are going to become bigger jerks than they've already appeared. I feel sorry for their wives and kids. Living with them must be, well...the only nice way I can put it is...interesting.

At this point, I'm not sure who I'm cheering for. Too early to tell.

Yep Max... just saw that... the kids seem to have it together more than their Dads!

Looks like another addiction! They kept us hanging, though about the night in the old church. Guess we have to wait for next week!

If you won the house, you could rent it out a week at a time to vacationers. Then take a month off for your own vacation. I am sure that plenty of people would love to stay there, if the show is a success.

One more thing, how are they going to feed themselves when they run out of food. With all those children, that is going to be a real challenge for everyone. Surely, the show will not have the children going without food.

ok i am going to post my opinion. I think the McRae father is a jerk!!!!!!!!!! The first family there had every right to take ALL FOUR bedrooms. The paper said stake every room you WANT!!!!!!!
this is a competition NOT the love boat!!! IMHO they dont have to get along with other families they just have to get along with themselves! It is a game.

Thanks!

Julie, it will be on again on Tuesday at 9/8. It's alittle hard to explain, you really have to see it to understand some of these people.

Angel,

The McRae father did that BECAUSE of the Skofield son's little (not that funny) joke of putting his flag on the fridge.

The McRae's did not KNOW it was a joke and all they came in and saw after lugging and being tired is flags on ALL The rooms and the two families sitting around giggling to each other. While the checked every room

So they go into the kitchen and see a flag on the fridge. His respons was basically "Okay if they're gonna play that way then we're gonna claim the stove and the bathroom".

I think that Skofield son was a jerk for even trying to be funny in that type of situation. No one want's to laugh after hiking all that way to find ALL the room's gone and someone staking out the fridge.

I also thought that Mike Skofield (father, blue shirt family) was being a TOTAL jerk!! I do think that the argument between Skofield and McRae went on longer than need be.

But hey it's Endemole (say don't they do Big Brother?)

aaaaaak, our station is showing hockey on Tuesday. I still won't get to see this show. :(

Oh!!! It's on Friday night though!! "It says, a practical joke turns offensive as cultural differences divide the families."

Is that a description of the show you all watched this past Friday?

The show was SET UP telling the families that those who got there first could take as many bedrooms as they wanted. The first two families took two each. With 5 families it wasn't going to be "nice" no matter what. I think if McCrae had just asked about the flag on the fridge the others would have said it was a joke, but this was set up to cause problems.

The two dads were jerks.

It is really an interesting show, though, the interfamily dynamic, the intra-family dynamic, the challenges.

Will be interesting to see the results of the last place family (from the competition) staying the night in the "haunted" abandonned church; if they solve the puzzle and stay the night they will get two ribbons, while the 4th place family has only one ribbon.. would that then eliminate that family, or is there another competition?

miss, yes the skofield son was a major JERK but i didnt like the McRae attitude. If they would have gotten there first who knows what would have happened. He seemed like he would have taken every room because of how controlling he seemed.
thats just my opinion. other people see things differently:)

GROOCH AND CAR and anyone elso who missed it last Fri. There is an encore presentation tonight in some areas. It's not on again here, but check with your local TV Guide if you missed it. It's a good one!!

Ok...let me try to answer of couple of questions..

Knightpatti-If they run out of supplies, they'll have to barter with the locals (and the parents pretty much think they'll have to do)

Seamonkey-The elimination occurs after every other Property Quest (ribbon earning) event...so even if the last place team earns both isolation ribbons, the team with one ribbon currently is not neccesarily out of it.

there are 7 eps so the format should be

eps 1+2= 5 teams
eps 3+4= 4 teams
eps 5+6= 3 teams
ep 7=the last 2 teams compete in the final events for the house.

Also there are supposed to be events where the winning family can take either a prize, or an advantage in the next Property Quest event. That I think will be interesting....

If we're taking a poll, I'll say he has prematurely gray (white) hair too.

Hi guys :)
We are in the process of working out details. There will be a chat with the family that leaves the house tonight.

Will post back when details are set.

Thanks for reading, and hope to see some of you at that chat.

Whilst I'm here, there's a huge debate on the newgroup (Survivor) as to whether kids suffer through being on a reality show.

Have to admit I hadn't thought of that. The producers said "It was a growing experience for them".

It do make ya wonder.
