Didn't see a group for it :)

Wanna bet they never make a show called "Surf Guys" ??

This is on after Road Rules - girls compete (and are eliminated) for the chance to be on a pro surf team.

I walked in to the bedroom and it was on, I had set cable box and VCR to tape Road Rules and forgot to turn off the VCR, lol. Well, MTV reruns these programs all the time, so I'm not too upset. From the little I saw, a couple of them seem pretty catty about one of the competitors. Good looking and fit cast and at least they have are attempting to excel at something other than outwitting -- and yes, I watch every Survivor. I do wish they would make a Surf Guys, but they already cover the competition in Hawaii or Fiji for world championships I think. I know I've seen something to that effect in the past so agree that is unlikely. Hey we females want some eye-candy, too.

I caught the first 3 episodes this weekend and liked it alot. I think what sets it apart is that they have a clear, admirable goal at the end, unlike so many other reality shows. The people act to each other just like any other, but at least you have some really serious contenders who really want to work hard and become professional surfers. I'll keep watching it.

You know what made me really mad!!! Two of the 14 girls dropped out without really giving it a chance. I hate when people do that. I always think of how many other people would have given an arm or leg to be where they are, and they just frivilously throw it away!!!

Puttergirl, to be fair to the girls, they were lied to about what the trip was really going to be about. They had no idea there was going to be a competition and people voted out. They weren't told the truth til they got there, I believe.

Does Heidi look familiar to any of you??? I'm trying to figure out where I know her from. I swear to god I've seen her somewhere before?? Has she been on another reality show? Or do I actually know her from my personal life? (seems to far fetched to be belived.) It is driving me up the wall. I had a TA who looked a little like her, but I don't think that's it. She's only 19, it's been awhile since I was 19...

This is really driving me crazy....

I really like this show, too, guys.

I do believe that the spoiler of Heidi was spoiled this last episode's preview for next week, Gina8642, because they already talked about her already being sponsored by Roxy. A group of them were actually at a surfshop, and there were Roxy ads of her plastered all over the surf shop!!
One of them commented on why the heck she was there if she's already doing advertising.

So her being on the Roxy team/website, I believe, does not spoil the winner of this contest.. . .
At least I hope and pray not!!! :)

I really want it to be up in the air.

PS -- who do y'all spec. gets her foot cut up??

Hey, anyone else see last night's show? Heidi is really not making herself popular. Plus, if she can't surf that great and can't speak in public at all, how did she come to be a Roxy spokesperson?? Katie sure is being given a great ride!!! Its obvious she doesn't have the surfing skills, but they keep hanging on to her since her attitude is so good. Good for her!!

I'm mystified by the ebb and flow of the contest dynamic, like a 'you're only as good as your last wave' scenario, I'm guessing this gives us a glimpse of the temperament that the surfing lifestyle gives one opportune to envelop. Either it evens you out or you go on the aggro keel!! Or nothing at all..

I thought for sure vivian was out, but quite surprised that robin and jenna are slipping away.

Pleasantly surprised by the exquisite molli and her slapdash trucker hats.

But for sure, I've got a typical haole crush on the good island soul of kula.

The sooner Heidi shoves off the show, the sooner this series rejuvenates for me anew, since it'll dispell the prevelent favoritism that seems to be rumbling around for the sponsored girls (heidi AND jenna).

Who else thinks that april has a striking visual chord to real world chicago's keri???

Interesting article from:
http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1173&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0

"As you may know, MTV's newest reality TV series, "Surf Girls" premieres this evening. What you probably don't know is that according to a report by Transworld Surf magazine, the editors allege that the decision of the show judge in the "American Idol"-style vote off show apparently IS NOT FINAL and the series judge told them that the program producers overruled his bootee decision on at least one occasion.

According to Transword Surf, after returning from judging the competition, Quiksilver pro Jon Rose was recently in the Transworld Surf offices "pissing himself laughing about how insane the whole fiasco was." Rose claims that the "MTV film crew fought with each other so much, the reality show should have been about the making of this reality show" and at one point the show producers overruled his decision after he opted to vote "some annoying girl off" the program. Given that when the program was originally announced, a Quicksilver representative stated that "the real juice from the show won't come from the action in the water, but from the interactions and conflict amongst the cast," can this be any surprise?

A rigged reality show... say it ain't so!"

Doesn't it seem like they are randomly deciding each week how many to cut?? There doesn't seem to be any real criteria set for who and how they cut!!

Kuke

or IF they cut, for that matter!!!

This show is starting to remind me of Real World Las Vegas - It goes on and on and on and on and on, but the plot doesn't move forward. I missed a few minutes, but I didn't see ANY surfing in tonight's episode.

Kudos to Kuke, for the prediction - no cuts....

They surfed a little on the small waves, but otherwise, it was just girl drama... funny, I'm finally starting to like this show, lol.

Puttergirl

Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 05:35 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I have to agree, Laura11103. I really like this show but I'm not sure why. Last night's show was bad though. There was no competition!! I enjoyed how much Heidi and Jenny are falling apart. It doesn't look like Jenny will last long and Heidi just has to go!!!

How would y'all rank them in general?

I'm thinking,

1.mary
2.molli
3.kula
4.april
5.robin
6.heidi
7.vivian
8.jenna

One last question:
By your impression, who are the coolest -- longboarders or shortboarders??

Laura11103

Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 07:39 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Kuke, I really have no idea, lol.

I can't believe they left that "cliffhanger", they should just get rid of Jenna, she's a big baby. But that cut on her leg was kind of nasty.

I like Vivian, wish she'd do a little better.

Puttergirl

Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 06:53 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I'll play (based not only on who surfs best but who I like the best:
1. Kula
2. Robin
3. Mary
4. Molli
5. Vivian
6. Heidi
7. April
8. Jenna

I like the longboarders better. They seem to have more variety in what they do.

But here's the big question!!!- will they ever eliminate another one?? They've promised it for 3 weeks and still didn't do it!! I've noticed that the only weeks where someone was eliminated was when the pros tell them. When Danielle tells them their rankings, nobody gets eliminated. Maybe she's too big a wuss to do it? Thats my biggest gripe with this show. They seem to be making it up as they go along!!!!

I just watched a small amount of the Boarding House reality show. One thing that really stuck out to me - none of the women surfers were wearing bikinis. Most had Burmuda type shorts on, or at least shorts of some type. Didn't see any regular swim suits or bikinis.

However, when you watch Surf Girls - every last one of them wears a bikini to do everything, even the PT stuff. Do you suppose MTV had a dress code?

Puttergirl

I've had the feeling they are being TOLD what to wear. For example, on the last one, one was complaining about how they didn't view professional surfing and walking around on a beach in a bikini modeling as being the same thing. She was forced for the show to model for a full day in a tiny little bikini, which the show provided to them, and she didn't like it.

Puttergirl, in reference to Heidi, I think she said she has been sponsered by Roxy since she was fifteen. Her and some of the other girls surf in amateur competions, but none have turned pro yet. In my opinion, I don't think she should be on the show if she is already being sponsored. Kula and Mary seem so sweet, I hope either one of them wins1

Kuke

Alright. . . a surf off! KICK SOMEONE OUT ALREADY!!!!

I really liked robin in this episode, loved her heart. Molli's gonna get tested next; I really want her to get through, lots of style.


Question: how many more episodes should there be??
I feel like I'm watching a drawn out soap opera like someone's stuck at the bottom of a well.

I could just imaging at the end of the second to last episode they hold an impromptu rock-paper-sissors contest to knock off the last four stragglers and award my dear sweet kula and molli all the loot

I couldn't believe it when they didn't do an elimination yesterday... what a stupid joke! Jenna is such a whiner.
