Interesting show but it seems highly scripted. Since the cameras aren't "all over" like BB the scenes all come off as being set-up and shot, maybe multiple times. Matt seems to be "always on" for the camera and may indeed be an actor playing a joe schmo.

In some areas the pacing is all wrong. The guys vs. the girls contest ran way to long for a segment where the outcome was announced via voiceover and the answers were all made up. I just kept thinking "When is this stupid game show thing going to be over?"

The actors flubs are really the most entertaining parts of the show. Although I did love the "plate ceremony" and Gina's goodbye speech! Her ranting, even while off camera and trying to get out the door was fantastic. Big belly laughs!


I will continue to watch but hope it gets a little more exciting.

I was thinking the same thing about how long the contests go and then I remembered this is supposed to be Spike TV, the network for men. It all became clear - the "Hands on a high-priced hooker," the girls endlessly in bikinis, the underwear contest, the fantasy outfit contest, hello, this show is also serving the purpose of tittilation. It doesn't bother me at all, in fact I think it's hilarious, but it's also something I had forgotten was a premise of the show.

Jerry Manthey, from Survivor, is supposed to be on next week's episode, hosting a challenge on the show.

I am really wondering if Matt is an actor. Both times someone really blows their cover, Matt has gone to them, they think 'ut oh it's over' and he talks about something totally different. I will keep a look out on the next show to see if this happens again.
I really enjoy this show though

I just caught this show for the first time tonight--a re-run at 1AM.

This show freakin' ROCKS!

I've never wanted to be an actor, but I would have LOVED to be in the cast of this show! I laughed so hard when Kip freaked out and then him and Dr. Pat went into the bedroom and were cracking up.

This show would be so much fun to be a part of.

Oh I hope he is an actor. It would have been great to see them pick a total a*s hole as the Joe, then I wouldn't have to feel so guilty about laughing at him.

I really think he is an actor. If he is he is pretty good, I would have busted out laughing when the gay guy was going off about that photo album.
If not an actor them I am wondering if maybe they started out to fool Matt and he caught on right away, so instead of scraping the project they tell him let's turn it around on the other actors. Tell him if he can pull it off he WILL win the money!!!
The thing about him not doing press still has me curious. He really seems to be good about jokes sso I cant believe he was that pissed.
I am going to watch his crying tomarrow real close.

I'm with you Pamy. I saw some bits and pieces of all the actors very tearful at one point or another over something that happened to Matt. I think the reason he hasn't done any press on the show is because it really is a double twist and the joke is on the actors.

I don't think he is an actor. I believe that there are people in the world who are just plain oblivious as to what is going on around them.

Azlen, I'm one of those people who will do that sometimes myself on purpose.
Saw the show Sunday night and liked it. The gay I only say gay guy because I can't remember his name yet, crying about his photos was funny.
And that doctor... can't remember her name either right now was funny. I think Joe did notice that the blond girl had slipped up, but when he asked her about it he got side track with another convo. But you would think maybe later on he would have followed up on his question or comment to her but he didn't, which made me suspicious of him.

Considering the amazing powers of the internet and the Smoking Gun website, I think we would know by now if Matt were an actor. Someone would have acted with him in something or known something, and told all.

have a question re: scheduling. Just checked and the cable guide shows three 1 hr shows starting at 9p and running to midnight. Are they the same show, rerun back to back or three new eppies? I want to set the vcr and don't want to miss any of it.

re: Matt being an actor....if he is, he's got that 'character' down......I like the guy. I can see how they may turn the joke around on the cast if he's figured it out (or been in on it from the beginning) Either way, it's a great show.....total satire

The first episode is the new one. Then they repeat last weeks episode followed by another broadcast of the new one.

Tonights episode:

Ashleigh confesses to Matt her crush on host Ralph Garman. Matt tries to build an alliance with housemates against Ashleigh. Cast members participate in the immunity competition Talent Show, which is judged by former Survivor 2 competitor, Jerri Manthey. During the talent show, the Hutch gives a shocking performance. Eviction ceremony hits Matt hard and puts the entire series in jeopardy.

SO if Joe is not driven nuts he wins the money?
I don't get it.

The key is not to worry about who wins or loses, it is a spoof for our entertainment, it's not a real show.

They will no doubt plan it out so he wins. The money will be his for participating. They wouldn't have much of a show if he himself got booted in the third week. :)

If I may be permitted one complaint, it is that they seem to be overplaying the "OMG, we've blown it, the show is done." thing. This will be at least the third instance of that. If there is one thing we know, it is that a nine episode show is not going to be prematurely blown by actor errors.

There is one thing that kind of has been bothering me. When Matt was supposed to say why he applied for the show (they were all around the dinner table) he said all his friends were doing stuff and had good jobs. He applied to the show because he had "nothing else to do" in his life.

The first thing I thought was "What a sad case of a guy", no real schooling, no drive, no ambition, just hang around eating and goofing off AT HIS AGE!! He seems SO OBLIVIOUS to some of the goof ups I am thinking he may be slightly "slow", if you know what I mean.

Either that, or he really IS an actor as well.

I stopped watching sitcoms ages ago and it felt so good to finally watch something on TV that makes me laugh non-stop. Tonight's show was a RIOT!

Dr. Pat and the puppets were too much!

The concept of this show is brilliant!

If Matt isn't an actor, I'd guess he is too overwhelmed by the situation to be paying close attention to anything. I don't know. If I were surrounded by cameras, lights, a houseful of big personalities and the possibility to win some decent money, I might be a little off-kilter as well.

Ah, this show is pure genius. Another fantastic episode.

I spewed Pepsi when they were voting and Kip held up a paper that said "Dr. Pat farted twice last night" and then Dr. Pat held up one that said "Kip is a lier". It's been a long time since a show made me laugh as much as this one does.

Scorpiomoon, I have to agree that the puppets were a riot.

Matt has the Bunky bone in him. It is unsettling to see someone fall to pieces over such an event.
