Immikeswfe | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 07:18 pm     Carole, the ex airline pilot.....doesn't she look like the lady pilot from the Mole? |
Texannie | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 07:25 pm     Did ya'll see the polygraph guys??? I spit out my water at the tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL |
Tabbyking | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 07:26 pm     oh, myra?! i have never heard of 'who will marry my dad'...why don't we put the dad with the mom of 'who will date my mom?'or whatever it was called, and just put this one to bed! skip 8 weeks of b.s. and cut to the chase ;>) |
Immikeswfe | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 07:30 pm     that's it...Myra Thanks |
Eliz87 | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 09:06 pm     I thought this show was pretty good. The dad seems great. But...why do so many of the women look like mature escorts? |
Curious1 | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 09:35 pm     The youngest daughter with the long brown hair looks so familiar to me. I just know she must have been on one of the 'date me daughter' shows. Or maybe she was one of the girls on the 'date my son' show. Does anyone else recognize her? |
Jan | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 07:02 am     well Eliz , if your Dad were rich, would you be looking for a mature , non childbearing wife for him, or a young, wants-to-have-kids-who-will-share-the-inheritance one? |
Marameko | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 08:00 am     The "Dad" is a babe. What presence, he is truly elegant.The lady who is selected will be quite fortunate...... And a ^5 to Jan, I agree totally. |
Happymom | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 08:13 am     Yes! The polygraph guys made me LOL! A couple of things made me think that that wasn't their home. Maybe they aren't really wealthy. The dad said something like "leaving here (with a bride?...something like that)." It was the leaving here type of comment that made me think ...and think back to the polygraph question about if my dad had no $ or income or some such thing. In re: to the above, I do have to say that I fell asleep during the last half hour, so, I may have missed something that would make me think that is their house and they are wealthy. |
Julieboo | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 08:50 am     I don't think Eliz meant as opposed to younger childbearing age women, I think she meant why do they all look like aging hookers? (As opposed to typical middle aged ladies... ones who wouldn't be wearing stilettos, plunging necklines and tight fitting miniskirts.) |
Eliz87 | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 10:03 am     Precisely, Julieboo. There is not a "mom" type in the bunch, IMO. My mother just passed away and although I'm not exactly thrilled with the prospect of meeting a ladyfriend of my dad's, I think if he introduced me to one of these heavily-made-up "ladies," I would be suspicious. I would want my dad to be with a "nice" woman, not someone who strives to be Helen Gurley Brown or some such. Nor, as you very accurately put it, someone who looks like an aging hooker. |
Avrey258 | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 10:17 am     I was on my way to bed when this show started. It was on NBC west coast (sat. t.v.) here at midnight. I shoved a tape in and recorded the show. I watched it with my 17 yr. old daughter this morning. We were laughing at the whole thing. First of all, a very attractive family. The brother's hair! What is up with that? Ryan Seacrest out of control with the flat iron syndrome. Is that their house? I felt really bad about those beds. They looked like rent-a-center cots. I can understand making the ladies "bunk" together but why put those cheap beds so close together. These are grown women after all. About the father, is he divorced? If I am wrong, correct me but I did not hear anyone mention a mother. Deceased possibly? I told my daughter we have to watch this show. It is so funny. As for the lie-detectors, it was funny to weed out some in the beginning but I thought it was stupid to continue to rely on a lie-detector for the actual elimination. Also, the Christmas question was funny. That is why I don't think lie detectors are 100% reliable. The woman said she was Jewish so of course she could spend Christmas at their house. Did anyone else get the feeling that the lie detectors weren't a hundred percent accurate? |
Rslover | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 10:24 am     I'm sure that is not their house. They usually rent a house for the other shows. I think they were just trying to be funny. FYI, lie detectors are not 100%. I took one once and something I lied about came out true and something I told the truth about came out as a lie! |
Bbfanatic | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 11:26 am     all i can say about the dad is, ewwwwwwww!!! |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 05:08 pm     I saw little snippets of this (was watching Road Rules) and the way RR is going this season, I may just switch to this. The house I'm sure isn't theirs.. something the dad said made that clear, I thought. I wouldn't judge a book by the cover and at least one of two of them ARE mothers.. hope the kids don't select against them for that reason. The father.. well there is that ewww factor that Bbfanatic expresses but overall he seems ok I missed the sleeping accommodations.. that sounds rather odd. They must want to see senior catfights. |
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 07:59 pm     ok....someone did some digging and Christie, the former Miss USA whos still in the game, was Miss USA 1986...somehow, the first runner up that year is a little glad she didn't win....that person? Halle Berry.... |
Sherbabe | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 08:30 pm     Dad and family are from Cincinnati, Ohio. The youngest daughter tried out for another reality show, but rejected it. They kept her in mind because during her interview she talked about her family. The producers asked for a family picture and pitched them this idea. They do have a mohter and she has remarried. There was an interview with them in yesterday's Cincinnati Enquirer newspaper. I don't know how to link, otherwise, I'd do that for you. |
Eliz87 | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 08:39 pm     I thought the dad was quite attractive. I would picture him with someone who has natural beauty like a "Jaclyn Smith" type lady or someone like that. The producers need to cut down on the make-up these women are wearing. Makes them look older than they probably are. Another thought about last nights show -- I can't believe they evicted the one lady (Caroline? was that her name?) and kept the other (younger woman, with black hair). At least Caroline (?) was honest during her lie detector test. And, for heaven's sake, the younger woman actually admitted to flirting with the sons during the week (yes, she was honest, but good lord). I think she would have to go if that was my dad who I was trying to match up. |
Nathalia | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 04:23 pm     I'm wondering if this is actually their house. When the dad was outside waiting to dance with one of the ladies he said "What is that great smell..is it the flowers or the candles?" or something like that. If it were his house..wouldn't he know? I thought it was awful that they gave that one woman a doggie bag. That was just shameful!!! And the way the woman were all clapping when he drove up in his red car. Was that the final take when he finally didn't hit a bush or something? I cannot seeing get all hyped up over a car..but that is just me. LOL BB...he's not my type either..I like them with hair on their head and basically..hardly any anywhere else..LOL He had a great smile though. |
Maryk | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 09:15 am     Did anyone watch last night? I thought it was pretty good and funny. If it was my dad too, I would cringe on the kissing scenes. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 09:23 am     I think the kids aren't rational judges of this thing. Some of the questions are just plain tacky.. like when the son was all drama queen that the one woman said she wouldn't keep a secret from his dad.. well in general I'd say that is good.. I'm sure she wasn't thinking of something like a surprise birthday party. And the questions about would you do errands for us.. gimme a break.. she's signing on to be his wife, not an errand girl for his adult children.. if they love and accept her, it will be reciprocated, but they make it sound like they are interviewing for a family maid/housekeeper who incidentally will be allowed to sleep with Dad. Of course there'd be the cringe factor, but don't they want to know if there is chemistry with dad? Boo, Hiss! |
Realfan | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 10:38 am     <<Did anyone else get the feeling that the lie detectors weren't a hundred percent accurate? >> They're not accurate at all!! Even in very controlled circumstances, the results can be questioned, but in this circumstance?? They're nothing bu a gimmick. For one thing, they keep asking the victim's "what if" questions--you cannot gauge those on a lie detector (would you do this, might you do that). You can't guage it because it's not a black-and-white lie regardless of what you answer. That part of the show is just stooopid. I agree the kids are lame. They shouldn't be making this decision anyway, but since the father is allowing them, whatever happens is his problem. LOL! |
Julieboo | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 11:06 am     I think the editing is questionable too. Like the kids seemed horrified with Kristy (I think--the competitive one who was swimming) and they said she'd be the first to go. Then in the next scene they are asked to pick two to go and she wasn't one of them.... |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 12:48 pm     They are definately putting too much stock in the lie detector. They should know better. And yes, Jullieboo, I noticed that. The promos show Dad dissapointed they bumped someone and I bet it is the blonde swimmer. I just started watching last night so I dont know who else I missed. The only one who strikes me as a contender is the blonde in the hammock. They did not kiss and the kids liked that. It looked as if they had a nice connection but I get the feeling Dad is looking for a younger babe on his arm. He seems to be a great guy. The woman with the bangs who does yoga give me the creeps. |
Julieboo | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 01:37 pm     She totally reminds me of the girl (wife?) in Pollack. Marcia Gay Harden or something like that is the actress' name. |
