Eliz87 | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 09:20 pm     I know, Kelli. I cannot BELIEVE they let the guy with the Cupid imitation through. He was SO weird. |
Surealityjunkie | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 09:32 pm     ITA with you Eliz, I thought for sure the would send him packing... They performer/professor in the pink/purple suit was a little in between with me too. Once he just "talked" to them, I could see how he could be a little more interesting... The bachelor pad should be a very interesting place... |
Julie | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 12:39 am     I agree..they were much more forgiving this week. Did you see the previews for next week? Let the games (and ballroom dancing and karaoke singing) begin! Still cant stand Laura though! Simon seems sort of nice compared to her. |
Julieboo | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 06:55 am     That Laura is mean-mean-mean! I don't even enjoy it cuz I don;t think some of these guys (even as strange as they are) warrant such nasty comments. The Spike guy (gladiator) was probably more than a bit odd, but I really didn't feel that he should have gotten the "pops", "grandpops" and the other nasty remarks. At least Simon had (usually) good reasoning behind his comments. Sorry, but I'm thinking Cupid is Stupid. |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 08:01 am     I'm getting a kick out of this show. I'm also shocked at the guys coming out of NY -- most of them were so freaky. The California guys that she picked were pretty cool (but notice that many flew in for the audition). I think the Gladiator guy called the women "kids" first, so the "pops" comment was okay by me. He looked so old, if he's still in his 40's I can't imagine the amount of drinking and smoking he's done to look so old! I'm glad that next week looks different than the bachelor. Making the guys sing karaoke and dance should provide some good laughs. |
Julieboo | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 08:15 am     THe girls asked him if he had a mask on because he was 80? Then he took the mask off and said 48. So that's what started the whole age thing. No doubt he did look really old, but I thought the ladies were too mean off the bat. I bet given time, I would have rooted the ladies on for dissing him, but it seemed to me that they were so mean from the get go. I am sure a lot of it is cuz they have to edit a lot to fit everyting in one hour, so maybe the girls did have good reason to say the mean things... however I just find it joltingly nasty. |
Tashakinz | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 08:47 am     "Detroit - Where the Weak are Killed and Eaten" LOLOL - I'll have to dig out that old t-shirt. Re: the Miami tramp top Laura was wearing - I got the impression that she was watching where the guys' eyes were going so I have to agree it was a deliberate move. I loved the auditions - too funny. |
Max | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 08:55 am     All I could think of about the guy with the mask was, "Dude, where'd you park the Harley?" If he's 48, he's definitely lived some hard years! |
Theowl | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 09:23 am     If he's 48, then I'm 18!!  |
Mack | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 09:51 am     I'm 56 and look much, much younger than the guy that claimed to be 48. Either he's had a rough, rough life or he's taking about 10-15 years off of his birth certificate. As for the show....well, actually I kind of enjoy it only because it's almost a spoof. I mean after all the other serious "marriage" shows this one is kind of refreshing....even if a bit overplayed. |
Bracken | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 10:07 am     I'm still hanging in there with this show although I really want to ask Laura where she gets her high self esteem. I can handle her comments, but she is too physical with these men and I can see someday we will be reading about her being physically assaulted. I don't care if there are cameras on site, she has no right to approach or touch these men without permission and the same goes for them. Looks like the Arnold clone gets a bit frisky next week, lol. I still don't see one that interests me out of the whole bunch. Dominic is a sweetie, and obviously mature with his little sis being disabled, but he's too young for her. I'm just not feeling it with these guys at all. The only one that appeared even remotely interesting to me was the English guy from Chicago, and he was a trader I think -- these girls are a bit naive. They jump all over the postman (ok, he was a dork) about gambling, what the heck do they think the men at the CBOT, CBOE or Merc are doing for a living. Sheesh! That said, bet the end result is no proposal, hence no acceptance, no dowry. I had hoped for better, Simon should have gotten at least a few casting agents out there to solicit some quality men for this show -- hasn't he watched any of the other reality shows, lol. |
Crossfire | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 10:07 am     I watched again, I felt the first show was much better than the second, not as many laughs last night. Hopefully the next stage has turns it up again. |
Aunt_Bob | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 05:28 pm     I watched for the first time Wednesday night and I found it totally entertaining. Even though the guys are putting themselves, voluntarily, through humiliating circumstances --- eyeing the line-up they had waiting outside the L.A. studio- *shudder* --- I also think Lisa (w/t aid of her friends) is subjecting herself to big time humiliation by 'finding & choosing' a soul mate in this manner. But, the show is humorous. |
Roguescollar | Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 10:12 pm     Did anyone else notice that the gladiator was going back outside to be "gladding" after the audition...AND.....I think he came in to the auditions because he accidently got in the wrong line forming outside...HE thought it was COLLISIUM auditions and he would be seeing a ferocious and tawny lion...oh wait...mebe that was Laura... Yes, she is a bit past the edge sometimes, but honestly, Lisa is half the reason most of us tune in. (But Lisa, no touching please. That is the first thing we learn as teachers...angry people are explosive people and bystanders can get hurt...no touching...and watch that personal space, girl...) Tartan Man...(I can't bring myself to call him Sc*tsm*n...my Scottish mother would shudder!) the pipes were nice but the attire was just to modern for me, and the kiltie wasn't even a real kilt...(sigh) maybe black sneakers? Swordsman...I heard that there was overcrowding in the schools out in California...but...the inmates are...well, you know the rest of the quote. "You marry a man you marry his family." Notice how 80% of those men smart enough to bring Mom with them got into the finals...the only ones rejected were the face lifts...(I prefer to think it was just good genes...) And to think this show followed BB4. How many others got hooked that way, too? It's a little anticlimatic to watch the news next: what can top these shows? Next week should be interesting. Have fun ladies! ~~R~~ (Don't touch my shtick!) |
Roguescollar | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 09:04 am     Oops...correction ~~ second para..change Lisa to Laura... |
Puttergirl | Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 09:00 am     Eliz87, Surealityjunkie, and Julie, I think they picked those odd choices toward the end because they had to have 20 after the 4 cities and weren't on track for that at all. I imagine the producers told them in NY that they were falling short and needed to come up with a few more fast!!! |
Sweetbabygirl | Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 08:10 am     I agree, Puttergirl. OMG, some of them were soll funny, like the idiot that danced on the cardboard, but he actually danced on the floor. And that cherub guy....ewwwwwww!! The dimples bit skeeved me out, he would have gotten a serious NO! *SBG running to make her Cupid choices* |
Sweetbabygirl | Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 08:33 am     Ooh, I forgot....I didn't think we'd top the 'stigmata' incident, but we did with the guy with the stick; "good luck with your wood", great line, lol! Robert (the Austrian fitness model) looks like a buffed John Callahan from All My Children. Dain (lawyer) has a sleazy talk show-host grin....don't know why I picked him, gotta go back and look at the other choices. *SBG runs back out* |
Seamonkey | Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 08:56 am     Hard to comment because I haven't seen much of this but I did switch over after Road Rules last time and I thought Corey the Air Force Rocket Scientist was adorable (he was chosen). He also seemed normal and unrehearsed.. like when Lisa? (the one looking for the mate) said her dad was in the Air Force, he wasn't stuck in some strange script to impress but seemed genuinely interested to find out more.. like an actual conversation.. Anyway he was chosen to go on. |
Puttergirl | Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 09:37 am     Sweetbabygirl, Dain was the first one I eliminated. He turned me off completely. And I thought from the coming attractions they were hinting that he comes on too strong next week. Seamonkey, I agree. I thought Corey was a real keeper!!! He wasn't bad on the eyes either. |
Aunt_Bob | Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 02:09 pm     After think'n real hard, I'm not recalling a 'stigmata' incident & it has been mentioned more than once here. Hence, my deducing, it musta been from the first show, which I didn't see. Soooo...could someone pleeez'plain what happ'n. Thank you very much. Oh yeah, SBG...re: the breakdancer:: that was one of the stoopidiss~ laimist~hence funniest crap I've seen someome do on national tv in awhile!!!  |
Sweetbabygirl | Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 02:51 pm     AB, this guy meant to use the word 'stigma' in a sentence, but pronounced it as 'stigmata'....all of the ladies jumped on him right away about the error, asking him if he knew what stigmata meant, then proceeding to explain the definition; in other words, he was clowned on national television. I swear, I've never laughed so hard in my frickin' life! |
Aunt_Bob | Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 04:59 pm     Thanks, SBG. Man, I just hope it stays interesting now that the 'auditions' are over. It probably will if Mr. Simon is as creative with this as he was with AI! Hope so! |
Roguescollar | Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 09:16 pm     Aunt_Bob, If they ever EVER play the first show again -- you have to watch it. Maybe what made it so funny was that this guy looked all put together...a la Miami Vice style (i.e. white gangsta suit...tinted shades...pimp hat)or maybe it was trying to recite some poetry GUNK that made little sense in a very stagey voice. The women, when they heard him say it the second time (and maybe he actually said it three times before he noticed it was causing a stir), burst out laughing, and one almost fell off the stool. I tuned in last Tuesday, thinking it was a new show and caught that part again, LAUGHED AS HARD and long as the first time. I think Laura called it right when she thought he was just there for the cameras. He listened to them and then went on with his little "script." It is definitely a must see! ~R~  |
Roguescollar | Sunday, July 20, 2003 - 09:20 pm     He will have to live with this stigmata at least thru this season. ROFL ~R~ |
