Kady | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 11:27 am     It's amazing to me that they plan on paying the girl that wins a million dollars and the winner of BB only gets 500K. Something just isn't right about that. |
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 11:30 am     ratings are in....the show ended up in 2nd place for the whole two hours, behind CBS' comedies and CSI, averaging a 7.4/11 for the timeslot (just about the same rating as AR4, as a comparison). Fox had a movie and ABC had the Stanley Cup Finals on...next week might be a little more competitive. Fox is doing a special called Test The Nation, seeing what the IQ of people are which has been a hit in other countries, and ABC has a repeat of the 3-hour Audrey Hepburn movie starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, UNLESS the Stanley Cup Finals go to a deciding Game Seven (it might, the series is tied at 2-2, so it will be at least a game six)....also, I don't know the half hour breakdowns right now (futon critic didn't have them up), so I don't know if the numbers went up or down from half hour to half hour. If they went down, it's not good news. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 11:58 am     Quack!! er, that would be about the hockey game This guy is dead boring but at least he hasn't said 'hot rocket body' yet. He seems to be getting NO coaching (remember, Evan had that great butler) and had very little contact with them before having to dump the first group. The last Cristy who he let go, what a peice of work she is!! Bet mom and dad will be oh-so-proud watching her get drunk and obnoxious and then sleep, drooling, until breakfast and then be hung over on national tv and even more sullen and obnoxious.. what a treat and a video to save for the grandkids. The statement up thread about her having a male chin.. whoa.. more than that she has that look of a post operative male to female transgender. I was happy to see her go, even if I never watch another episode. Paige is indeed a sweetheart. The checks and the check burning.. Bat you are so right.. that was an agonizing waste of time to show each and every one of them get the check, react to the check, then have the check taken back and then for the losers to have to burn the check and each one getting that bizarre shot as they open up the big ledger. What a colossal waste of time. The only good thing.. NO ROSES. Oh.. that was so funny after he met each of them and he was alone, before he went downstairs he opened up those cookies and started snarfing one of them.. that just seemed so odd to me. But, it was pretty sweet when he gave that girl the little hershey kiss. |
Meli456 | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 12:44 pm     Did anyone count how many times he said that he was excited or used excitement in some form? He seemed reallllllly excited... |
Curious1 | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 01:07 pm     My husband and I were laughing at that Christy girl. She was just so over the top. We both swore she looked like an addict if we ever saw one! Even at the end the way she strolled down those steps it looked like she was high on something! I can't believe she had the nerve to write "big fat piece of meat" on Paige's Looking for love artwork! Then she had the nerve to say she wrote that because she is an artist and was "inspiried". She reminded me of the character that Angelina Jolie played in that movie with Winona Ryder were they are in an insane asylum I think it was called Girl Interrupted. If anyone taped it go back and watch her, I swear she seemed wasted that whole last day. |
Realfan | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 01:22 pm     Here's an interesting bit I found at another site, where a poster claims he's also a Dallas lawyer and knows Rob: <<I'm a defense attorney in Dallas and I know Rob. Let's just say he makes his way around town with the ladies. And let's also say that's putting it nicely. From what I hear, he already has an agent and is auditioning for soap operas and stuff, though, so don't feel too bad for him. Also, I can confirm that he had absolutely no clue about the whole million dollar switcheroo. He was totally in the dark. His understanding was that it was just like The Bachelor. At least that's what he told me. I did my best to get the ending out of him, but he said he had a $2mil confidentiality agreement. What? Did he think I was going to go post it on some internet message board or something?>> |
Kizz | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 03:54 pm     Seamonkey! Yes...I kept calling Cristy "The He-She" and all the girls I work with thought so too! Oh, and don't forget the golden glow that comes out of the ledger when they open it...like they are being exposed to radiation! |
Cjr | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 07:10 pm     ROFL at all the comments here. I fell asleep after he had eliminated 2 of the girls. It seemed to take forever! After reading all the posts I am glad to hear I am not the only one. Rob is definitely good looking but at least Evan could carry on a conversation even it he wasn't the most brilliant man. I missed the "secret room" stuff and am not sorry now that I know what happened with the check burning. What a waste of time. Betcha I'll end up watching again next week though. I want to see the train crash LOL. |
Eliz87 | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 07:21 pm     I really like the fact that he has to talk to each girl personally and tell them why or why not he thinks they should stay or go. As for the guy, I think he's kind of creepy, but intriguing in a Nicolas Cage kind of way. Nevertheless, him or a million dollars? No contest! |
Scorpiomoon | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 07:40 pm     Realfan: Thanks for the snippet. Does it surprise anyone this guy is a player and obviously wants to get away from practicing law? Man, this show really, really, really bothers me. |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 01:55 pm     This show doesn't bother me so much like it seems to bother most people here. At least it is right in your face what is going on. You put any schmuck there and 15 women are going to fight over him because the game is never about the man, it is all about the competition between the women. The money is just a bonus. I feel nothing for this bonehead, he thinks he is going to play with 15 women, sample the goods and pick out the best cookie. I will laugh my butt off when some paid for bimbo blows him off for a million. Easiest trick she ever turned, and please don't try and tell me these shows are not stacked with "pros". And before anyone asks, Yes I am in the middle of major PMS. |
Nathalia | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 02:18 pm     What about when someone asked him his age and he said 30 something??? What guy doesn't reveal his age? He is cute, but Evan seems smart compared to this guy. |
Missy2 | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 02:31 pm     I'm not too sure Cristy is female, or rather that she was born female. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but she looked a little manly. |
Texasdeb | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 04:16 pm     I don't want to mention anything about Cristy's physical appearance except she sooooo appeared to be a woman with alot of issues. Don't they screen these people? It did look like the girl sure had at least a problem with alcohol. Even though I didn't get a good 1st show impression of Kelly, she at least had more control of herself during their little party of 2. Kelly kind of has that Minnie Driver look - and I really like Minnie as an actress. So, I'm anxious to see how Kelly will fit in with the others now that her evil sidekick is gone. |
Pamy | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 04:21 pm     I kept thinking 'Man hands'! I think I will just watch the last ep of this show, it is really slow, and so is he! |
Babyjaxmom | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 06:01 pm     Just finished watching the tape of Monday's episode. I had forgotten it was on, and Hubby was scanning through the channels and stopped, saying, "Oh, here's one of those shows you like!" Is he sweet or what? Had to tape it though, so as not to make him suffer too much. I agree with almost everything everyone above had to say. Poor Rob is dull, dull, dull. How did he ever get through law school? Also, I was so glad when it came down to Paige and Christy that he chose Paige to stay. I, too, kept thinking that Christy looked like a drag queen (what's with the hair hanging in the face?). I wonder if that's why Rob kicked her out? Hope he starts warming up a little next week. Can't wait to see what it is he does next week that pisses them all off! |
Clp | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 07:42 pm     I know we were all liking Paige alot more than some of these other, ahem, "girls". But y'all, really, really need to check out her website. There is some of the worst poetry ever written, she says her life is like that of a rockstar, and you too can buy your very own Paige Jones thong. I kid you not. lovepaigejones.com |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 08:11 pm     OMG Why on earth would anyone want all that merchandise with her logo????? |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 08:18 pm     Thanks for the link, Clp. That looks like a professionally done site. Has anyone ever come across a reality-show cast member who had a Web site created right off the bat? On another note: My obsession with this show continues: Ok, call me nuts, but was anyone paying close attention to the courtroom clip they showed during Rob's introduction? If I recall, Rob was standing at a table alone while the person being charged was standing at the other table by another lawyer. So, if Rob is a defense attorny, wouldn't the person being charged--his client--be standing next to him at the same table? I mean, geez, if they are going to stage a court scene, couldn't they have gotten it right? Couldn't they get a staff member from Law & Order to help them out? (Or maybe they did and I'm losing my mind...) If I'm right, this is just more proof that this show is so LAME! |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 08:21 pm     LOL Seamonkey! You could clothe the whole family in Paige Wear! Christmas gift dilemmas SOLVED! |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 08:37 pm     True.. Clothe the family and they could all drive with her mugs too.. But.. empty site. empty blog, empty gallery, nada.. just those painfully strange poems. She doesn't even seem to look the same, or maybe I'm blanking. |
Mlt | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 09:04 pm     Considering the fact that Paige is selling clothing, do you think that means she isn't a millionaire? (Just a thought) |
Clp | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 09:04 pm     Scorpiomoon- There is a poster on TWoP that is a defense attorney in Dallas and knows Rob. He said that the guy to Rob's left is the lead attorney and that Rob is second chair. He said the female defendant was being charged with murder. What cracked me up though was how she must feel to be up for murder (in Texas no less) and one of her attorneys brings the camera crew for his reality tv show! Hey, lets get puttergirl do to a poll for this a the winner gets a lovepaigejones.com thong! Ha Ha! |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 09:16 pm     er.. maybe the LAST place winner could get the thong. |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 09:16 pm     Clp: Thanks for the clarification. That clip was bothering me. I know what you mean about that (poor?) woman! Re: Thongs: At least Paige isn't wearing them and then putting them up for sale on her Web site! |
