Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 06:03 am     OK, the family vist to Jills was hysterical. The Bushes meet the Sopranos! And her name was Bunky! How good is that? |
Llkoolaid | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 06:17 am     I am watching this horror show too, well kind of, I keep flipping between that and Third Watch. The Bushes meet the Sopranos, perfect lol I don't think any of them will get married. I am so glad they put Denise out of her misery. Poor thing has little self esteem and what she did have he stomped all over. I must be sick in the head to watch this and the Bachelor. Getting hooked on these is like enjoying a Jerry Springer marathon. I don't understand why I am so addicted to these trashy shows. I would never sit down and watch Jerry but I sit in front of the tv and watch this stuff. I need a life. |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 08:50 am     yeah, i can see tony's 'deer in the headlights' look again loud and clear! he is terrified, so i look for him to really cool off next week and suggest maybe they date later and take it slow...he is definitely not ready to be married. if i were kevin, i would run like hellllllll. her family will be a nightmare for the rest of his life. and the dad would kill him if they ever divorced. marrying into that family would feel like jail time to me! also, i don't like real 'loud, angry' families. arguing and trying to be heard over each other. mine is irish and loud with fun. this group seems to just have to be in the 'fightin mode' all the time! the dad reminds me of a rooster. |
Bandit | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 10:36 am     I'm watching the train wreck too. Although last night I was watching with half an eye because I was playing Ericka's Amazing Race Game! Billie Jean is about to drive me crazy. I don't think that she will be able to control herself in Vegas -this oughta be good. I like Kevin and Jill the best. I think their issues could be ironed out, but Tony and Billie Jean are just unrepairable. That is the way she is, and she is not going to change. Kevin and Jill look genuinely happy together. (Especially in that blatant game of tonsil hockey they were playing on the plane home!) |
Realfan | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 11:09 am     <<Speaking of children, I was yelling at Kevin through the tv "Tell her you don't want the mother of your children showing her "birth canal" to the world again">> BWAH!! That's so funny. I know. I felt sorry for Kevin last night. That potential father-in-law is the FIL from HELL. Jumping all over him for calling her sweetie because he thought he wasn't saying it sweetly enough. That's JILL'S call to make, not her father's. Ugh. That guy creeps me out. Jill really lost me on the Playboy thing. Yeah, as Tabby says, you just know the only people buying Playboy are interested in "art" and appreciating the human form in an aesthetic way! BWAH!! Yeah, right, Jill!! They might make it, but she has to get over that Playboy crap. Doesn't she rememer Kevin is religious? Guess showing her naked bod is more important than respecting her future husband's wishes. Ugh, again. As for Tony, he needs to dump Billie, too. Sadly, she's clueless about how low-brow she is. "Party in my pants" with dad standing two feet away. Double ugh! Give the girl a cold shower, now! |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 11:10 am     I too am watching this horrid show... I didn't watch completely last night, tuned in during commercial breaks from "Raymond" and "Still Standing" - really, long enough for the BJ disaster dinner/party, and Jill/Kevin playboy issue... Both my bf and I were cringing at both! |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 01:31 pm     i still think they should hook up xavier with denise and see what happens. they are both much more physical than the lumps they were stuck with. what's really awful is that their friends and parents pretty much picked the mates. this is the guy jill's dad liked the best, right?! hooo boy.... |
Nathalia | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 02:21 pm     If Stephen wasn't interested in Denise why did he ask her father for her hand in marriage? Was this just something the producers made them do? I tend to believe so because they all did it. I'm sorry, but Denise needs to lose a few pounds only because she is the one with the hangup about it all. I believe she wore the same dress to every one of those meetings. And when they were in the room packing they had changed their clothes yet when they were filming them leaving she had the dress on again. I truly believe Stephen is glad to be out of this whole thing. Yet Tony looked very surprised that he wasn't picked last night to go. Did you catch all his facial expressions why they were asking questions? And why does the panel openly discuss who they are going to eliminate right in front of them all? Like they aren't all listening! Next week looks very interesting. From the looks of it, Tony shags a LV girl. |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 02:24 pm     i thought maybe billie got shagged, too! oh my! |
Realfan | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 03:28 pm     I was impressed with Stephen asking for Denise's hand, especially when their families got on so well. I thought for the first time they might have a shot. But when the other fiances did it, too, I knew it was a producer set-up, and a stupid one at that. Methinks this marriage experiment is a total failure. |
Jbean | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 07:22 pm     billie jeanne scares me!  |
Demeter | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 08:17 pm     I missed the show tonight, can anyone recap or do you know if it is repeated? I did see the previews for the next show and it looks like a hum-dinger! Were there just two couples left tonight? If I recall right, it didn't seem to me as if either couple wa anywhere near ready for marriage. How did the Las Vegas(?) parties go? |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 04:34 am     They showed both couples at their bachelor and bachelorette parties in Las Vegas and choosing wedding dresses and tuxes. Billy Jeanne was off the wall when trying on her dress. Jumping, screaming and crying. (They flew in their maid of honor and best man to help them choose and friends to celebrate with them at the parties) Jill was cute choosing hers. The men were more sedate and Tony was not having a good time at all. The parties had strippers. Tony kissed a stripper and Billy Jeanne licked whip cream off of a woman stripper and became irritated when Jill would not follow suit. Jill thought it ridiculous that Billy insisted she participate. Billy told her to be herself and Jill said she was and did drew the line at licking whip cream off of a stripper. It was a little tense there for a moment but they got over it and hugged. Someone, I think Jill, requested a female stripper, (they had men too) the reason was not given. There was some bicurious playful behavior with her but very surface and looked to be for show. The final scene on the couches showed Jill and Kevin to be in good shape. Billy Jeanne was asked if she loved Tony and she said she was keeping that for a surprize at the wedding but admitted she did, having been directly asked. Tony could not return the phrase. Billy said that was OK, she would wait until he could. She "appeared" confident. She must have been dying inside. I did not know this but they both marry on the next episode but the one who wins the audience vote gets the $100,000, car and house. (the latter after one year of marriage) 1/2 million value with all the gifts. |
Moondance | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 07:12 am     Thanks for the re-cap... I fell asleep around 6:00 last night and just woke up... go figure... off to work, I feel really weird. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 07:44 am     You're welcome. I think they repeat this. They repeated last weeks anyway, check on Friday. Nothing we don't know happened. Jill and Keith will win this hands down. Funny thing too, I think they have a chance of making it work. If they don't Jill will be unable to take his straight ways and lack of enthusiasm for making money. |
Crazydog | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 07:52 am     OK, I didn't watch all of this show but I was flipping through channels. What was with the bachelorette party for the two girls? They had a female stripper and the blonde trailer park girl licked whipped cream off of her, and then got upset when the dark haired girl wouldn't do it? Why was she so upset? She kept telling the other girl to "be herself". I didn't get it. Could it be that maybe the dark haired girl didn't want to lick whipped cream off a naked girl because perhaps, she's not all that interested in women? Why was this so hard for the blonde hick to understand? |
Jedisan | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 08:18 am     Because she appeared to be really into the whole thing (getting a lap dance, and taking garters off of other women with her teeth, and then passing them off to anotehr women, again, w/ her teeth. it was also Jill, as stated above, who wanted the female stripper. I think that she has a momoent of clarity, and realized how this might look later to her fiance (or more importantly-his family) my 2 cents |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 08:48 am     I don't think Jill ever wanted to do anything particular with the stripper. Bicurious is very much in the air these days and considered hip and cool. It is not uncommon for highschool girls to come out as gay. They are called LUG's. Lesbain until graduation. I think Jill was just being progressive and campy in her request. Billy Jeanne is a wild child and was jumping on this current bandwagon in a more enthusiast way. I suspect she was embarrased or at least regretted doing this. She would have felt better about it if Jill had joined in thus her speech to her about being herself, not letting a man dictate, my grand parents will be watching this, no big deal, let yourself go..... yadda yadda yadda.............. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 08:51 am     .............the parents of both these men are appaulled today and I am not sure Keith and Tony saw the fun of it either. If they are still together, I bet they have one hell of an argument. |
Realfan | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 11:38 am     Fruit, how do you know the parents are appalled? Interesting. I keep forgetting these couples are doing all this in real time. Idiots. I missed the immediate aftermath scenes after the parties. Did anyone feel bad and confess anything to their non-significant others? I also missed that BOTH couples would be marrying. If a couple doesn't win, why marry? It's not like they're wildly in love--well, except for BJ, but I get the feeling she WANTS to be in love regardless, more than IS in love (i.e. she would have fallen for whoever "America" stuck her with.) |
Jedisan | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 11:40 am     Neither Tony, nor his parents should have anything to say about anything this morning. Tony's behavior was nothing to be proud of. Of course they are still together, becuase they are getting married next week - it was a live vote, no? I really dont think either couple will last. Did anyone else notice that Kevin does not seem to bright? I think Jill will be bored with him once the obvious chemistry wears off. |
Crazydog | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 12:13 pm     I have not been following this show. Kevin is the dark haired guy with the dark haired girl, right? What does he do for a living? Seems to me to be something blue collar and unstable, because he was extremely defensive when asked about who would be the breadwinner. He seems to be the type of guy who will feel insecure about his wife making more money than him. Also, last night I was thinking, hey that looks like "Valentine in the Morning". Then I went to the website and found out it IS indeed him. I don't like the trailer park blonde girl (Billie Jean?) and I don't like the dark haired guy. If there was a way to pair the blond guy with the dark haired girl that would be ideal. |
Crazydog | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 12:18 pm     BTW, I don't believe "Valentine" is his real last name. When he was on the radio here in Chicago (his show mysteriously disappeared one morning) I think on St. Patrick's Day of last year he revealed his real name. For some reason I think it's "O'Keefe". |
Kitt | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 04:50 pm     The timing thing is bothering me again. The captions at the bottom of the screen were up to about day 13 by the end of the show, which I think would have been 2 weeks ago, assuming the public vote to choose the partners was on day 0. And as there were already clips of the weddings, they must have happened within the last couple of weeks. So, here's my complete guess for what's happening with last night's vote: both couples have been through a marriage ceremony and did or did not get married. At the time they didn't know which couple would get the $500,000 prize - so didn't know if they were marrying for love, or love+money. If the couple who got the votes DID get married they get the whole half mil including the house. I'm not too keen on Kevin either, although he might be ok away from the show. I like Jill a lot. Billie Jean is a bit flakey in my opinion, and too wild for my tastes! Tony acts like he came on the show for a laugh and really doesn't want to go through with it. The trailers made it seem like one couple (BJ and Tony I think) didn't go through with the wedding. Methinks Tony said "no". |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 04:58 pm     Real......did you catch the episode where all met the parents? The fathers of both men were concerned with the women being wild. Jill posing for Playboy and Billy Jeanne announcing she had a party in her pants in front of Tony's dad. That is why I said that. |
