Sweetbabygirl | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 01:35 pm     Great show, funny as hell! My comments.... Corey Feldman - Somewhere, Corey Haim is laughing his ass off at this dude! I mean really, referring to one of his movies as the "Willy Wonka of its generation"? OMG!! And did anyone catch the Vanessa Marcil comments between him and Vince? I will say this about Corey, he has a nice, tight body...hoo-ah!! M.C. Hammer - Always liked him...he and Emmanuel were too funny, I hope they remain friends when this is over. Emmanuel Lewis - That loud, braying laugh!! Someone kill me! Other than that, still cute. Gabrielle Carteris - Always ambivalent about this plain Jane, so no comment. Brande - Um, I don't remember Baywatch Hawaii. And does showing your na-na in a magazine make you a star? Whatever!! Vince Neil - SOMEBODY's been eatin', lol! Other than that, I felt it when he was talking about his deceased daughter. Jerri from Survivor - Didn't watch her on the show, so I don't know of her supposed bitchiness. She is annoying, though. And the eating off the woman was tacky....don't make me go there with the sushi comments, lol!! |
Danzdol | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 02:18 pm     I was bothered by the constant Jerri bashing by Brandy...........hmmmm she says " I grew up watching everyone here on tv and I don't know who Jerri is......" or something like that. Well noone grew up watching her either. In fact, I would bet more people would know who Jerri is before they knew who she was. That pissed me off. It was pretty stupid, right up there with the "there's tax on food?" comment. Other than that she (Brandy)seemed nice. It's the kind of show that I would watch , if I remembered or if I ran into it while channel surfing. Not the kind that I would tape and get upset if I missed............ |
Frogichik | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 02:33 pm     I agree with your post Danzdol, but I don't agree with everyone thinking the "there's tax on food?" is a stupid question. I would have said the same thing. In Florida, we don't pay taxes on "food" we buy in the grocery store. Shampoo, detergent, etc., that's a different story. The Jerri bashing by these D list stars pisses me off. I bet more of middle America thinks Jerri is more reconizable then the rest of them! As for Emmanuel.... I HATE HIS LAUGH!!!! |
Abby7 | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 04:30 pm     Emmanuel's laugh drove me nuts too (especially when it was over something not all that funny). He seems like a nice person though. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the show overall though. It is surprising that Brande puts herself so above Jerri. I've seen her on the Howard Stern show talking about being one of Hef's girlfriends. Jerri still Jerri (didn't like her on Survivor like most). The producers really did put her in a bad position, though, by making her come in last. Corey really doesn't seem too mature at all but thinks he has grown into a mature man IMO. His argument with Gabrielle about being a vegetarian didn't really make sense. Full of contradictions. Regarding the house. Does anyone know where in the Hollywood Hills it is? I think it's right off Mulholland Drive near Studio City. I'll be watching tonight. |
Willsmom | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 06:27 pm     ok...I missed it! My tv guide said it came on at 8:30 following Jamie Kennedy, when it was the other way around! Anyone care to give me a quick rundown???Thanks so much! |
Twinkie | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 06:37 pm     Nuts! I missed it too!!! I had company. |
Demeter | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 06:50 pm     I enjoyed this episode. The camping trip was hilarious, as was the challenge. MC did a nice job confronting Corey on his persistent use of the past as an impediment in his life. He was not too harsh, but was real with it. Corey looks to definitely be in need of some therapy. The truck stop visit was fun as well. Alot packed into a half hour show. They really needed an hour. |
Faerygdds | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 07:00 pm     OMG! I only half saw it as I was alos doing other things on the comp, but what I caught was that they went camping. On the way they were on this bus and Corey was talking about how he was emancipated when he was 15 and he sued his parents... he made a mil before he was 14 and it was just gone... blah blah blah ... and everyone looked TOTALLY annoyed. So they get to the campsite.... There was a luxury tent that Jerri got (don't know why) that she could share. Those in the luxury tent got a gourmet dinner while everyone else got pork n beans and hot dogs over a fire. They divided into teams of 2 each - Corey and Hammer, Vince and Gabrielle, Manny and Brandy. I forget ehat they did first, but the last part of the task was they had to bury one of the teammates up to the neck in the sand. Manny and Brandy won. The catch was that there was only room for ONE mor ein the tent, so Jerri had to decide. She picked Manny saying in confessionals that he was a great ctch and "you never know". So the others pitch their tenst... which was a riot.. watching stars trying to build a tent! The girls were done fast, the guys blew... They build a fire and cook on it. It was all very crispy! lol Then Manny and Jerri get their gourmet dinner. Manny had Eggplant steak and "His Lady" had the NY strip(?). Had some decadent chocolate desert thing and then the fire convo starts. Corey tries to be philiosphical and Hammer just goes on this great diatribe about how no one there can complain... they have great lives... and they can always go make 13 mil on a project -- meanwhile ppl in the county are starving and wondering where their next meal was coming from (major major paraphrasing and oversimplifying). Corey then retorts with, "Well, I've never made 13 mil on a project" And Hammer goes off again about how he'll be his manager and get him the right part and how that project is out there waiting for Corey -- AFTER he deals with all the stuff that happened 15... 9...10...12 years ago -- his money is waiting. (I was cracking up, so I missed some of this.) Gerri and Manny went to bed and there was lots of giggling the next morning wondering if Manny got any... Corey says they are right next to each other and not apart. Manny comes out of the tent later as ONE BIG SMILE! Everyone cracks up. then Jerri calls, "Manny, come back to bed" He smiles, turns around and goes back into the tent. Conclusion: They get back on the bus and Hammer says that it was a really good bonding experience for all of them. |
Faerygdds | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 07:01 pm     I forgot about the truckstop.. I missed most of it... |
Azlen | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 08:03 pm     The show tonight was hysterical. I had to rewind Vince's comment on Corey a few times. "I know Corey has these beliefs and all, but just shut up!!" Then Hammer and Corey in the boat, just classic. I love how Hammer called Corey out on his constant complaining about things, and it was obvious that everyone there did to. Then Manny running to get his knife we he heard the coyotes. Too funny. |
Ryn | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 09:13 pm     The truckstop was ok, they were all noticed (and with 2 or 3 camera's people would notice me too - lol). I think Jerri got the tent because she camped out all that time in the Outback. The 1st part of the challenge was to row out to a buoy. Corey and Vince never made it out to it, they were totally clueless on how to row a boat. Thats about all that was missed in the summary above. Show was on after HS Reunion (8 or 9 depending on your local). Only 30 minutes this time, and ya know what? I woulda been ok with another 30. Glad I remembered to watch it,  |

Sanfranjoshfan | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 09:30 pm     Tv guide here in SF screwed me over, too....it was supposed to air at 9:30 and I turned it on just in time to see that awful Jamie Kennedy show starting. $!%*&#!!@%! Anybody know if there is supposed to be a repeat run this week like last week? (Last week it aired again on Sunday, just like High School Reunion aired for a second time tonight.) I con't find it listed for next Sunday in the TV Guide.(although you can't trust that crappy magazine anyhow, now that I think about it) |
Ryn | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 10:13 pm     I checked 2 weeks ago and it only seemed that they planned to be re-airing the 1st episode last week. Sorry SanFran. I changed the thread title to "Surreal Life" (was "World") - I think we all associated it with "The Real World" |
Weenerlobo | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 09:17 am     I enjoyed this eppy. Luved Vince's Shut Up comment and Hammer going off on Corey at the campfire. I dunno how old Corey is (30's?) but he's got the emotional maturity of a young teen. He needs a better therapist; maybe one that's not gettin rich off of his neuroses. Jerri still gets on my nerves. I'm surprised they didn't give themselves serious burns the way they were trying to cook on that fire. |
Squaredsc | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 10:09 am     no corey just needs a kick in his a**. therapy over. it was hysterical how they were burning the food over that fire, lol. the show was too short. did anyone notice if mercedes was camping with them. i really just watch the show for the dog. lol. im still liking vince. |
Weenerlobo | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 10:13 am     Square, you are so right. |
Marysafan | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 11:49 am     I saw Gabrielle and Manny on the View yesterday discussing the show. Gabrielle said if you only see on eepisode...make sure it is the Las Vegas one. They went to a church...and something happened...I htink Emmanual might have been preaching but I wasn't paying very close attention...and something was said...that made the whole place break down in tears...everyone in the church..even the camera crew was in tears. Gabrielle said it was really really something special...and "the reason they did the show". She went on to say that there is a reason some things happen and what happened in that episode was without a doubt the reason this show had to happen. She emphasized to make a point of watching that episode. |
Azlen | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 12:46 pm     I don't know if Manny was preaching too but if they were in a church, I can guarantee you that Hammer was up in front of the congregation, considering that is what he is doing now. He even has his own show on one of the religious networks. |
Denecee | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 01:37 pm     Ryn, it was Corey & MC together on the boat, not Corey & Vince. I thought it was funny that Corey ran down to the boat and jumped in before they put it in the water. Then he's going to blame it on Hammer for not being able to push the boat on dry land with him in it?? I love this show! I wish I could tell Corey what a bad kid he was to sue his own parents. His parents didn't have to let him be in show biz in the first place. MC Hammer performed at our fairgrounds last summer. I didn't go but my daughter and sister did and they enjoyed the show. |
Whoami | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 01:57 pm     I agree with everyone that Corey really has some issues to get over. He needs to stop feeling sorry for himself and grow up. Did you read his bio on IMDB? Sounds like he wrote it himself! http://us.imdb.com/Bio?Feldman,%20Corey I wonder though, did his parents "let him" be in show biz, or did they push him in? He wouldn't be the first child star to be shoved into the biz and have parents live off his earnings. But even if he had that bad a life with them, its over and done with, so get on with your life already! |
Seamonkey | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 04:23 pm     I bet he loves having Manny there, so he looks a little bit taller at 5'3" he's only an inch taller than I am.. |
Curlyq | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 05:09 pm     It's Hammer who was shown bringing Vince up to the church pulpit in the previews for upcoming shows. I think Gabrielle Carteris said it's in the episode right after Vegas. It looks like they're bringing them to each other's different worlds, so to speak. They brought them camping for the Jerri experience, they're bringing them to Hammer's church service, and they showed a preview of them at what looked like a Playboy softball game (representing Brandi's world I assume). Feldman does seem to be a bit traumatized or something, but his bio shows a long list of credits including three from 2003 already. I guess he's kept busy all these years. It may not be Oscar material, but it's good that at least he's been working. |
Serate | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 05:46 pm     Did anybody catch Corey eating the hotdog? This after last week's "Eating meat is immoral!". Of course I guess there might be vegedogs out there as there are vegeburgers. NASTY! |
