Conejo, you are bad! LOL! I like Tawny, she cracks me up. It's funny how we all react so differently to the same people. I wonder why that is? I mean that's a good thing, but I wonder if it is just personalities or if we respond to something in them that reminds us of someone in our own life, or what?

Reverse psychology, that is funny, Kady. I wonder if he is smart enough to think of that.

*Sigh* I promised myself that I would not come here at work today and it is only 9:00 a.m. and here I am!!!

That son is no prize, I'm sure the girls are looking at the trip to Europe as the reason to go thru all this crazyness. Who gave him that nickname "the all night pony"?(probably himself)

Lisa does look child-like and disturbed. Tawny is very funny and the son and dad seemed to like those hand cuffs. I am wondering if Stephanie gave it her all in he pool and now Danny boy isnt intersted. He sure hasn't any problem telling his parents "straight up" what he does want.
For the record, Mom wasnt as witty as she thought, she was banging spades together, not hoes.

Herm, I don't know why we react differently to some people - yet we both had the same take on Lisa.

I'm also at work and haven't got much done today!
Can our boses track the web sites when we are on here surfing? I asked that question last week in the Computer Problems-Need Help thread last week and no one responded.

I watched Monday night and something struck me as odd. That girl with the big mouth (might be Tawny) that stuck her fist in her mouth after the magic trick....she was on Star Dates. She was the first one to go out with Screech. I only watched that one show, but I know this is her.

That just ruins this show for me. This girl is applying to dating shows to get exposure. She is not interested in this boy.

This might have already been discussed, but I am too tired to read the first part of the thread as I have been reading about AI for about an hour now!

Was it Stephanie and Tawny that were sucking faces with each other at the whirlpool ??
I think dad kinda liked that !
I think mom was pissed cause I think she liked it also but didn't wanna say anything LOL
And why would they get rid of Lisa when Danny boy told them that he would rather have her around a little longer then that big mouth girl is that Stephanie ??

Jenhavins, you know I thought she (Tawny) looked really familiar to me also but can't remember where I've seen her. Kinda reminded me of that one girl on Survivor that had such a HUGE mouth (don't remember her name Kim maybe?)

Lizadee, the girl with the biggest mouth (physically) is Tawny. The 2 girls that were sucking face were the one girl that Danny won the date with and I'm not sure who the other one was, but I don't think it was Tawny.

I wonder when 'dates' turned into lets get naked and make out before I even know anything about you... YIKES I feel old! Last season they seemed to at least pretend to have normal boy girl dates and DO something together to get an idea of what kind of people they were dealing with. Criminey this time around if they're not in some body of water sucking face they're rolling around in marshmallows....yawnnnnn
The sexualization of every television show is really getting old - for me anyways.

Personally I liked Lisa, she seemed to be a little confused why on her first date with him she's got to suck his tongue out of his mouth in some gross competition, I'm definitely with her on that.

I am repulsed by Stefanie and Tawny. Chelsea scares me, she seems pretty calculated.

I won't even go into what I think of bringing in past relationships or video tape of 'friends' to make the girls look bad, that just stinks.

Finally I do not believe the lie detector, this whole cheezy production with the thumbs up thumbs down is so fake... he creeps me out and am sure gives the answers the producers tell him to. It's very sad all round

Technically, the mom was banging trowels, not hoes or spades. *L*

I totally agree with the statement that Dan used reverse psychology on his folks, cuz if he isn't hot for Steph I'm 16 and weigh 98lbs.

p.s. no I am nowhere near 16 or 98lbs *L*

oops - forgot to add, the entire time Dan was on screen I'm thinkin' Hey I think THIS guy is the Mole!! What do ya say Hummingbird??

I only caught a few minutes of this last nite because a friend told me about the "Son, do you know you have s'mores on your butt?" I gotta say, Stephanie (that's the blond softball pitcher, right?) = BATTLEAXE. That is one scary person. Wonder if she's really a man.

The dad seemed to be getting turned on watching the girls kiss. LOL Like father like son!!
Why are they keeping that girl with the halter top, she is so abrasive
Why did that one girl say I dont even know who this guy is when he was talking about her computer hacking. Hello?? Did she think they would go, OH, we just brought this guy in to trick you!
I like this show this year, it is moving along fast, I actually like it better the bachelor/et

I missed the 1st round and part of last nights show, my comments on Lisa was really just to say that of all the women, I found her the most attractive, but a persons face is the 1st thing to catch my eye, and I liked hers. But hey, I liked Phobe Cates (sp) too - lol.

ok ok - it was just my male hormones acting up. I just know that I wouldn't want any of the gals that are left. Or if I have to pick one it would be Chelsea? The one that DIDN'T make out with Steph - lol.

I turned this show on in the middle last night and it scared the heck out of me. I found it creepy and disturbing.

Maybe if I caught it at the beginning, it would have sucked me in and slowly brainwashed me.

The ex-bf thing was very ugly. I turned it on 2 minutes before that so it was a bit of a shock for me too.

I couldn't bring myself to watch it, Grooch. I saw several episodes of the original and it agree with your assessment.

"Maybe if I caught it at the beginning, it would have sucked me in and slowly brainwashed me."

So that's how it got me! I understand now! Thanks, Grooch!

This show has really degenerated. Last year it was silly fun. This year it's MEAN.

Led by that horrific <>, the MOTHER. Gawd, how I HATE that woman. The looks on her face, like she just ate a bucketful of lemons. The holier-than-thou attitude. The smarmy joke that isn't a joke with the trowels, toward guests in her house.

Worst of all, I think she has a real Oedipus complex. She dumps all the girls her son really likes. My husband believes her goal is to stick him with some girl he'll never be serious about.

So what does she do? she kicks off the quiet, reserved gal whose biggest crime is being able to cry on demand--and who was mature enough to risk buying a house when she was younger--and who is pretty, and KEEPS the <> who took off her son's belt, is <>, has rolls of fat on her waist, whose hands were all over her son in the group date, and who likes to kiss women! (Plus the fact she has her boyfriends thrown in jail).

Seems it's better to do crappy thiings and be "honest" about it than do less awful things and try to hide them. Twisted, twisted morality.

I agree, dating's not what it used to be (on these TV shows, anyway), but neither are mothers.

This show is getting as awful as Elimidate. HATE that show. Tawdry make-out sessions between virtual strangers. UGH.

Oh, and the lie detector tests are silly. The questions are way too vague. Is kissing another guy "cheating", for instance? Is "having two boyfriends at once" dating more than one guy at at time, or sleeping with them at the same time, or group sex? In police investigations, they are VERY specific in their questions ("did you have sexual intercourse", for instance.)

And why is MOTHER so ready to believe everything ex-boyfriends say, anyway? How creepy is that?

Truly, no trip to Europe would be worth what they put these poor girls through.

Wow.

Oh, another thing. (Sorry, Herm, I was very annoyed by this show, as you can tell!). I used to not feel ashamed watching it.

In the lie-detector test, the father asked "Have I bored you this weekend?" What kind of stupid question is that? The girls aren't supposed to be dating HIM. Isn't it pretty much required for the kids to be bored by their parental units? It would be more important to find out if the SON bored the girl.

Grooch

Realfan, I turned on at one point when she was having the test.

Those questions and the parents expressions really, really creeped me out.

What normal parents doing this show would continue doing it when having to do stuff like that?

Grooch

So I switched over to the Real World where people were having threesomes, cheating on boyfriends, etc. It seemed much safer over there. ;)

LOL! It's okay. You're allowed to be as annoyed as you want!

I really think most of this show is made up and these people are paid well. Some article I read last season gave me that impression so I tend to keep that in mind when I watch the show. If I am wrong, then this show is way too scary for me to think about!

Pssst, do they really have threesomes on the Real World?!?!?

They don't show it. Alton met 2 girls in Australia and cam eback and said he did. But swore to Irulan that he didn't. Then professed his love to her and then they slept together.

And it goes on and on and on......
