Dahli | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 08:38 am     It's not just the Arab world thinking this crap forcasts the end... I've thought that since Springer lasted longer than a week on TV - shudder...look around, the 'culture' is in chaos. |
Enbwife | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 11:27 am     Neil and I watched this show because nothing else was on. I could not believe people would actually subject themselves to such horrible judgement! "Your chin is too wide so I'll give you a 5 on your face!!!" No wonder we have such screwed-up body images! |
Hermione69 | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 05:53 pm     I had to share this... I have not watched this show, but I have read the posts and I couldn't believe Lorenzo's burrito comment!! I told my brother about it and laughed so hard at his response that I had to share it. Original quote-- "I've got a burrito cooking south of the border, and it's almost done." - Lorenzo Lamas. My brother's response-- "Was that supposed to be sexual? It sounds like he has to take a dump..." ROFLMAO! |
Tanyamoniq | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 06:52 am     Ugh!! Does anyone hate this stupid show as much as I do???? My husband knows I can't stand it and so it's on our TV everytime it comes on.... Grrrrrrrrrr |
Bastable | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 09:55 am     What burns me up is when they show these preternaturally beautiful people weeping after they're rejected. I'm sorry, those people are pathetic. For their entire lives, they've probably fed off their sexual power over other people, and suddenly it's been "removed." I suspect those tears come from an intensely arrogant place. "How could you find ME not sexy?" Truly pathetic. They should have a show called "Are You Well-Read?". I'd like to see if anyone cries after being kicked off that. |
Hermione69 | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:05 am     "Are You Well-Read?" I could possibly be a contestant on this show. Do you think it would fly, Bastable?? |
Conejo | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:32 am     I would love to see SIMON from American Idol as a judge! That would be great - then we could really see some weeping! Last night was the first time I watched this show and I found it to be pretty entertaining when these "hot rocket bodies" were NOT chosen - loved to see their ego get knocked down a couple of notches! |
Denecee | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:37 am     My sentiments exactly Bastable. Show some character people! "Hi, I'm sexy and that's all I got." |
Crazydog | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:38 am     Bastable, I think the "I don't care what they say, I KNOW I'm hot" weepimonials are the most entertaining part of the show. |
Monkeyboy | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:47 am     I was LOL for a long time when I turned the tv to watch "Im a Celebrity"...The guy weeping in the credits..."but i AM hot!!!!" LOLOL priceless. Still think this is a pathetic and disgusting show because 99% of the people are not "hot". |
Laura11103 | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:59 am     Monkeyboy, I saw that guy too, how pathetic! This show is to stupid for words, but of course, it somehow gets addicting. I thought that really skinny, indian looking chick was not hot enough... she looked anorexic to me, really scary. |
Beachcomber88 | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 11:05 am     What about that girl I think named Aja? Also bawling before the commercial... "Do you know what it feels like to be critiqued on your body and your face?" DUH!!! What did she think would happen by coming on the show? I give that comment a 1.2 for intelligence. |
Conejo | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 11:48 am     At least these contestants don't stand there and argue with the judges like they do on American Idol! Why do the judges give these people such high marks - seems like they start out with the first contestant giving away 9's ???????????? |
Fruitbat | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 12:28 pm     I, too, was shocked these people cried! Espically the very odd looking black man. One has to assume that they are on the pagent/beauty circuit to get a career out it somehow and this is just one more notch in the belt...........but I guess not! |
Crazydog | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 12:53 pm     Beachcomber, good to see you in this thread too! I haven't seen my tape of last night's show yet. Who from last week advanced? I'm thinking Chantelle and Valerie and Ryan and Luciano. I think the way they walk out and the light goes on over their head is hilarious. Especially the buzzing sound for "Not". What is the purpose of the little 2 second clip right before each one walks on stage? So we can get to know their personality? Who cares, it's beyond the point of the show. From last week, I can still hear in my mind: "The only thing that I can give them is Me. Buttah Jones." You have to admit though, the way she walked out on stage for the initial look, all cool and confident despite the catcalls, was pretty impressive. I also liked her attitude when she told off Randolph. Is Randolph gay? He seems to be a little too into judging the men, especially when he asked that Luciano guy to drop his shorts. |
Cassie | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 01:07 pm     Is Randolph gay??? I theeeenk sooo, lol. Wasn't "Buttah" something? I thought she looked like a she-male. She could've cracked nuts with those thighs. Someone should have told her that the ghetto-tude and neck rolling, finger waving thing is so NOT HOT. That body language just makes people look idiotic. |
Cassie | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 01:10 pm     Does Lorenzo Lamas give anyone else the heebie-jeebies? I find his lecherous looks slimy! He himself is anything but hot. I like Rachel Hunter but get the feeling she's a bit embarrassed being on this show. |
Crazydog | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 01:22 pm     For the purposes of the show, I agree that Buttah was not hot. But I do think it was good of ABC to include some contestants that are somewhat in the normal weight range. Some of the girls are seriously underweight. I also liked the way Buttah slinked onto the stage. Dare I say it I actually thought her walk was very sexy. It was very professional model-like. Not like the way some of these girls almost sheepishly walk out. I'm a sucker for slink. And isn't it indicative of our society how the 90 pound girls don't get any questions about their weight while some of the perfectly normal looking guys are told that they're "too thin"? I feel kind of ignorant because I don't really know who Lorenzo Lamas is, other than he's what I would consider a "name from the past". He was in some really bad movies, right? And he's got a Playboy-type blond bimbo wife? I think his hair is ridiculous, it seems a little too long. |
Monkeyboy | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 01:51 pm     I thought the girl with the dark hair who they made turn around and show the "ripples" on the back of her legs was the "hottest" IMO, of course she wasnt hot enough . I can't stand those lollipop/Christina Aguilera/in need of a quadruple cheeseburger looking chicks!!! They look so inhuman (is that a word? well it is now. ) And i agree Buttah looked like a man. ACK! I also thought Amber was smokin hot but was too plastic looking for me and the guy with the milli vanilli/Alicia Keys hair needed to go somewhere And i am also in agreement that Lorenzo is in need of a haircut, he also needed some noxema (sp?) last night cuz he was a bit oily . How's that for judgement? I can't believe how ridiculous this show is! But try getting me to stop watching  |
Crazydog | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 01:56 pm     For me, it has replaced Joe Millionaire as the show I am most disappointed with myself for watching. |
Beachcomber88 | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 03:19 pm     Crazydog: I agree wholeheartedly. This show makes Joe Millionaire look like a Mensa member. I've been flipping back and forth between Hot and Celebrity - I can't believe that I watch either one. Lorenzo Lamas is of "Renegade" fame - you know, the long haired guy who rode the motorcycle and kicked some major ass. He was married to Shauna Sands, who was indeed a Playboy playmate. As with most playmate marriages, this one proved to be no exception and came to a not-so-surprising end sometime in the recent past. I can't recall Lorenzo doing anything of any artistic significance since Renegade, although I do seem to recall him jumping his motorcycle over some cars in a "celebrity" stunt show. Come to think of it, he would have fit in perfectly with the C-list stars on Celebrity! |

Hermione69 | Saturday, March 01, 2003 - 05:58 am     Calling Alex Trebek now.... If I make it, I will use the code word "Rosebud." |
Mssilhouette | Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 12:53 pm     Okay I watched this show...and in spite of how shallow it is and how most of these folks have some serious self esteem issues (why all the crying cause someone told you weren't "HOT" enough..sheesh) Anyhoo, the black man in the fireman pants and braids..was extremely HOT. But that's the only one. The women in my opinion need to, as my bf and i say "Eat a couple of burgers" to be sexy. Sorry I never thought herione thin was sexy. Malnurishment and ribs showing is no where near HOT...dead maybe..but HOT never. And legs should have definition not be two toothpics stuck under a skirt. Also implants on twigs look completely silly. I thought that the judges are well extremely harsh and it seems as if Lammas is just looking for his next date. (WTF is with all the winking) Rachel Hunter has had her harsh moments too. When she told the woman with the black hair and seductive look to "smile". Then she dropped her points because she said the woman looked as if she would steal a boyfriend. What the heck does that have to do with anything. I've noticed with the last episode that they only get in a few harsh comments then after about 3 contestants they must be told to cut that chatter and just give the scores. This is one of those accidents that you can't look away from. It's a shame that those folks who didn't get picked as being "HOT" were so upset, It didn't mean they weren't attractive but I suppose even the "pretty" folk have a need to get an ego stroke every now and again. Um by the way what do the winners get anyway? A title?, A crown? A modeling contract? |
