Ladybug007 | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 08:36 pm     Was Matt wearing a wedding band when they show him crying in his room? |
Scorpiomoon | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 08:43 pm     Lady, I noticed the ring as well. |
Muse | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 10:03 pm     I think it was on his other hand...so just a ring. And yes -- I'm a little worried about Matt. Earl didn't even seem upset, so it was a little strange that Matt took it so hard. Guess he's a pretty sensitive guy. That doesn't bode well for when he learns the truth. I don't know how Dr. Pat didn't crack up when she used her dolls in the talent show. I thought it was hilarious. I'm wondering how they'll explain the votes. It'll be interesting to see the fallout from that. |
Misslibra | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 12:34 am     Scorpiomoon, then I'm not alone, I stopped watching sitcoms ages ago to. I got caught up on some of the episodes I missed tonight. I have to say the host dressed up in that blue tux with the big blue bow tie should of gave the show away right there. LOL What host have this guy seen on TV dressed like that in the year 2000 ? And that cheesy immunity robe. Yes it's a given Matt is slow or he drinks a lot. Sometimes his words seem a little slurred to me when he talks. That could be the reason everything just flies over his head. I do like the show and will continue to tune in to watch what happens next, and hope they gave Matt something for playing this joke on him when the show ended. |
Ryn | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 08:00 am     Ok - there we go - there was a second thread - which I closed and moved inside this one. I love this show - I love how they parody other shows - and I don't feel the least bit sorry for Matt - he signed up for this gig after all ;) |
Ryn | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 08:01 am     MissL..... Big Brother had a freaking Mime on their show for 5 hours - why would THEY think its real??? ;) I rest my case |
Naja | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 09:07 am     I think I should be embarrassed that I like this show so much...LOL I watched last night for the first time (2 episodes). When I saw the immunity robe and the designer plates, I about cried I was laughing so hard. To me, Matt also seems like an actor, but I don't care. The laughs are worth it. The harsh plate smashing and the "You are dead to us" line in the eviction ceremonies are hysterical! |
Rockmin | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 09:28 am     This show makes me laugh more than any other show on TV. The pile of ashes/debris on the table (for Gina) at the eviction ceremony was so funny! It's interesting to try and predict who will be evicted each week (2 weeks?). I thought Dr.Pat was going until they started reading off the names. The military guy was probably a good choice though.... his story line was done. They will keep the the hoties till the end; this is Spike TV after all! |
Crossfire | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:59 am     Whew, I'm glad someone else mentioned the pile of ashes. I don't feel so bad now, but I found that to be amusing as well. I also got a big kick out of seeing the arsehole (I forget his name, but that's what they call him more or less), completely laid out on the kitchen counter. That brought back memories of BB last year with people sitting on tables. |
Fabnsab | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 02:07 pm     The ashes cracked me up too. I told my husband that this is harder to predict whos going to go because unlike real shows, they have a plan and they don't really let us in. It was easier though when they showed a commercial for next week and the only one not shown was Earl. That was kinda sloppy. I think they need to get rid of Kip. He is way too over the top. I think he is a liability. All the others are doing a great job, Hutch especially. |
Pbnj | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 08:27 am     definitely sloppy Fabnsab....a definite spoiler. I didn't get to wonder if Ashleigh was going because she was in the preview for next week....hope they don't do that bonehead move again. |
Jolly_Penguin | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 09:53 am     I love this show. It is well done. My one question: Have any of the actors voiced suspicion that they are the contestants? I mean, to me it seems obvious that this is not a Game in which Matt is to discover it is fake, but in which the actors are to be found out. Matt is a plant. The people being tricked are the actors, and the viewers. If this isn't the case, then this show is giving us nothing at all original. |
Scorpiomoon | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 10:10 am     Crossfire: When I saw Hutch laying out on the island, I also thought of BB! I thought, man these people are so laid back! No one cares if Hutch's butt is there one minute and food the next. Had this been BB, we would have heard about it for weeks on end! |
Sunshyne4u | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 12:18 pm     After watching these last two episodes of "JOE" I dont think that Matt IS an actor. If he is...he is really GOOD. The subtle changes in his face when watching the talent show was incredible. When Molly started her raunchy hula hoop performance Matt couldnt stop his face from getting red and nostrils Flaring. GOSH, I laughed. Like a teenage boy with a crush who is trying to hide that he was getting excited LOL. I felt terrible for him during and after the eviction ceremony. When others are crying it is very easy to get "caught up in it". I think this is what happened, not neccessarily that Matt was having his own meltdown. I was surprised that they showed him alone in his room with the cameras pointing at him. Once again, seemed too staged. I really think the other HGs would have gone immediately to console him. ALL in ALL this show is hilarious. The acting is very stereotypical and most dialogue in quite unscripted therefore clumsy....but that is what makes it funny. The eviction ceremony is bizarre. Plates dont burn(It makes no sense!) Then to show a pile of Ashes at the next eviction, like the exHG was taken out back and cremated, is kinda WARPED! Last week, the ranting evicted woman being dragged off and hearing her ranting from afar HAD ME LAUGHING SO HARD! That's right Girl, Dont go easily!! Ha ha |
Madelane | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 12:31 pm     I finally watched it this morning and even though I read what you guys said about the ashes I still spit out my coffee when I saw them! Every time I think the show isn't really that funny, they do something like that and I love it all over again. You guys, there is no way Matt is an actor. Like I said, someone from his life would have outed him by now in the news. Not like it's national news but you know what I mean, smoking gun or something. On the other hand, there could still be a twist. I don't know what it is, but it's not that Matt is an actor. |
Fabnsab | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 02:02 pm     I have been watching every single expression of Matts to determine whether he is acting or not. Just when I think he is acting(mainly because he falls right into their plan), he does something so sincere that he can't possibly be an actor. If he is an actor, he makes Tom Hanks look like an amateur! |
Hippyt | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 04:17 pm     I agree,I mean the tears were a flowing. But,really is he unstable or something? Why would he get that upset over Earl leaving. It just seems so odd. |
Puttergirl | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 05:05 pm     I don't think all of those tears were for Earl. I think alot of them were over the fact he felt betrayed again. I really like Matt but he seems very vindicative and I think he was also upset that everyone didn't vote the way he wanted them to- the way he thought he had set up. But I also think he wears his heart on his sleeve- probably not suited too well for a real reality show!!! |
Sunshyne4u | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 05:54 pm     That is soooo true. Matt started to petition the others to get rid of (DARN cant remember her name!! Ashley?? Dark hair!) and everyone said YA I'm IN~!! except Kip. At the eviction he finds out that it is almost equal votes for Earl and (?!!) and Earl goes.....Matt does the math and realizes not only has HE been screwed over, his buddy Earl is GONE! Matt seems so much like about ten guys I know, LOL......goodhearted Doofus with a nerdy side(but doesnt seem to know it LOL) |
Fabnsab | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 06:37 am     Also, I think the first week in this type of environment really takes its toll on the people. Look at BB- they always seem more emotional and attached to people the first week than the last. I think they get way too unnerved by being separated from family, then forced to bond with these people 24/7 then make alliances and vote out one of your "new family." I think thats why we always see the breakdowns so early and we're always like "come on, you've only known this person a week!!" To them, its a huge emotional roller coaster. |
Konamouse | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 07:30 am     Another thing to consider when watching Matt's reactions - how is the show edited??? Cut aways are not always the immediate reaction - could be taken out of context. Next to go - Dr. Pat (think to whom Matt is getting close). Brian (as a show writer) needs to stay. Asleigh and Molly (as the eye candy) need to stay. Hutch (as the character he is) needs to stay. I personally love the asides, eye winking and written comments made by the actors to the camera. 'squeek' |
Wilsonatmd | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 12:00 pm     for those of you wondering about ratings...from thefutoncritic... - Despite being in its third week, Spike TV's "The Joe Schmo Show" audience grew to 1.2 million viewers, up 54% from its debut. Among Spike TV's target demographic, men 18-49, "Joe" nabbed a 1.1 rating (556,000 viewers), up 20% for its second consecutive week. "Joe" also fared well in adults 18-49, scoring a 0.8 rating (848,000 viewers), up 33% from last week and 60% from its premiere. The series airs Tuesdays at 9:00/8:00c. For a cable show, it's a decent success (Trading Spaces, for example, gets about 3.5 million viewers, but is one of the highest rated shows on cable. A rating above a 1.0 is considered good. And it's increased every week) |
Hippyt | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 12:06 pm     I knew it would be good ratings! Spike TV did a good job hypin the show. Glad to hear it! |
Pamy | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 01:16 pm     ABC should take lessons from Spiketv! |
Muse | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 11:58 pm     I agree with Puttergirl. Matt would be a terrible player on a *real* reality TV show. He's too trusting and emotional, and I could see him potentially annoying some people. Can you imagine him in BB4, for example? He'd be eaten alive. I think he'd also make the mistake of giving away all of his alliances and strategy...I'm actualy a little surprised by how much he tells (directly or indirectly) the supposed Lap of Luxury contestants. |
