Aunt_Bob | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 03:05 pm     Hey RC...how ya doo'n! Thanks alot for the play by play! Hey, this guy sounds like a great catch! I know I'd give him ...yeah!!! "He will have to live with this stigmata at least thru this season." ¬  |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 04:23 pm     Here is an excerpt from a recap of the first show. I remembered the guy but reading this all over again made me laugh. (If you ever need a really good overview of a reality show, check these guys out. They don't miss a beat over there!) Cupid, Episode 1: Beauty and the (beeches) by David Bloomberg -- 07/12/2003 http://www.realitynewsonline.com/cgi-bin/ae.pl?mode=1&article=article3326.art&page=1 Micah, 22, an art auction manager, is next, dressed in a white suit and hat. He pulls a lei out of his hat – literally (Laura points out that it’s fake flowers). He reads a poem that sounds kind of like he used a random word generator to create it. Laura asks about the suit and he says used to work in suit store. Laura asks, “for Pimps and hos?” He takes it well and just says he’s not a pimp and doesn’t hang out with hos. He talks about the stigmata of age. They laugh at him and ask if he knows what the word means. They point out that he meant “stigma” and explain “stigmata” to him. Sorry, that’s three “no”s. After leaving the room, the host says now he knows the true meaning of “stigmata” because “brother, you just got crucified.” Ouch. |
Roguescollar | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 02:15 pm     Lol, AB! You are makin me smile, too. Thx for the info, Sureal, went there and saw the whole article. I had forgotten the lei hat trick, bad first move and not silk, according to Laura who knows quality when she sees it. Hehe, everyone wants a good lei..but not before the formal introductions are made...<blanches>and the MC was hilarious as he led the slightly dazed bachelor to the door. Final note: (Blows mouth organ lightly...) You say "stig-MATTA", I say "stig-MOTTA", let's call the whole thing off! ~R~  |
Theowl | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 02:20 pm     NOTE!! Episode 2 will be rerun tonight after Big Brother!!  |
Surealityjunkie | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 05:46 pm     Thank goodness it is a repeat! Now I can watch Paradise Hotel in peace! I just knew I was going to miss something... Too much reality, not enough time... |
Melfie1222 | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 09:58 pm     I'm watching the repeat tonight after BB...What is this? Aren't these women supposedly smart? Robert, the fake Austrian, gets in? The cherub guy bothered me too, but maybe that is just me. A guy with cute ringlets darting and dancing and playing peek a boo, hiding behind a chair, twirling his fingers in his dimples, just doesn't quite do it for me. Cute, sure, but not marriage material. |
Fluff | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 07:55 am     I'm sorry, but that girl's friends are <el.> |
Puttergirl | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 07:56 pm     Help, anyone watching? I missed 2 of the men she eliminated- one of the Scott(s) and another I missed totally. Anyone know who the final 10 are? |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 08:20 pm     Why did she eliminate Nate?? Robert has to go. He's a nice guy, but he's too much. Evan is a playboy. He'd be gone. Putter, I didn't write down the final 10. sorry. |
Surealityjunkie | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 08:27 pm     Scott R. was elimated... did you get Darren? |
Jimmer | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 08:28 pm     We're watching but I'm hopeless when it comes to names so not much help to you there. We never would have started watching this if it hadn't followed Big Brother and had the Simon connection. I'm amazed at how entertaining it is. The three women are funny and attractive in different ways, there are enough loony guys to keep it interesting and also a couple of sincere nice ones (at least it appears that way). Amazingly good show. |
Theowl | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 08:35 pm     I posted the 10 "winners" in the Polls thread.  |
Roguescollar | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 08:45 pm     Tell me I am wrong and Omar did not have an accent in the initial interview. In the "debriefing" there was no Spanish accent. Sigh. Sad to see Corey go! Dain sure took in like a gentleman, too. GLAD to see the cupid guy go. Here's a guy who has probably had women falling all over him all of his life and he hasn't HAD to "work it." (And I think Renda is in the same boat there.) Poor Paco. I hope he gets his super ramp. Maybe they should have had makeovers for all of the guys--the dates looked pretty good cleaned up! It was a little less painful and a little more fun to watch this week...Kimberly and Laura were less in attack mode and the guys seemed a little more relaxed. ~R~  |
Muse | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 09:21 pm     I was sad to see Corey go (great sense of humor, seemed like a genuinely friendly/nice guy), but I can understand why she cut him. He did seem more interested in having fun than anything else. I think she should have let him stay a little longer (just to see if he's interested in her at all), but I understood why she eliminated him. I really like Hank so far. He just looks he'd be a nice person. It might be the eyes. That's a silly reason to like someone, but so far he *does* seem nice, so I don't feel bad about it. I also want to like Dominic since he was so creative in the audition and seems to have a decent personality (and isn't bad to look at, either!), but the chemistry didn't seem to be *quite* there when he had his private time with Lisa. Maybe they just need a little time to get to know each other better, though, or maybe I was misinterpreting the vibe. Creepy Robert needs to go. Then Evan. It's pretty bad that he didn't have the common sense to not invite her friends to sit on his lap. Stupid move, even if he was just playing around. |
Pamy | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 10:54 pm     This show is so much better than the Bachelor shows. I thought that cherub guy looked great after his makeover. I like the guy with the 'arnold' accent. |
Max | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 11:06 pm     Can I please, please have Corey?! I just think he is cute as a button, seems very intelligent, and has a great sense of humor. <sigh> |
Curious1 | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 11:26 pm     My favorite so far is Hank too. I really think he looks smittened with Lisa and he seems to be a really geniune person. |
Chicaloca453 | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 01:16 am     I'm sorry, but that girl really kept the uglies. She eliminated at least 5 that I'd have kept. Nate and Corey were at the top of my list. Does she not want someone better looking than her or what? |
Sweetbabygirl | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 05:21 am     I would have gotten rid of Evan, but with Kimberly having an 'X' on his forehead he'll be gone soon. Robert....the "Oh, My God!" exclamation was cute the first two times, now it is getting old. I would have cut him for the bikini top incident. How the HELL did Renda remain? He is not attractive at all, and his last conversation with Lisa proved that he isn't ready for marriage. Surprised at Scott getting cut. Corey is cool, but he seemed like he just wanted friendship, not marriage. Damn, 24 and a Rocket Scientist? That's really impressive. LOVE my Joe, but he has stiff competition from Dominic....I predict it will be these two in the end. |
Aus10 | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 06:01 am     Man........In order to vote your have to have an AT&T Wireless account. Guess singular or Verizon won't work. So much for me getting to vote. I can't begin to say how much that sucks! OH well...I guess I can still voice my opinions here........ |
Roguescollar | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 06:25 am     Muse--Hank is my favorite, too. The eyes, such a twinkle and so expressive, the smile, the humor, he is so cute! Dominic seems a bit young...but very nice. I think that Lisa cut some of the ones she was LESS interested in and left some of the flotsam for the viewers to eliminate. My prediction is that Evan is the next to go! Chica, I agree, she got rid of some adorable guys, but I don't think those guys were ready...one of the makeover ones...black hair...ohhhh...he was so sexy! (But he admitted later...not sure he was ready for an aisle walk!) Robert is okay, a nice guy. I think that was him trying to come out of his shell. After all, he was in "the Serious Group", but I think he is a little too needy and feeling too much, too early. (He teared up a bit when he saw he was on the guest list for next week.) ~R~  |
Sweetbabygirl | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 06:28 am     Forgot one thing....Robert TOTALLY ruined Born To Be Wild for me, I laughed myself silly! I won't be able to hear that song again without chuckling. |
Bluie | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 07:14 am     Robert is my personal fave! He cracks me up! Somebody in the Cupid chatroom who claimed to know him gave me the link to his website: www.robertamstler.com Hank is probably the best guy for Lisa however. I personally would have kept Corey. I'll be interested to see how Renda fairs with their next date. |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 08:09 am     I hope that AT&T isn't the only way to vote -- that would be unfair. Dominic is the cutest. Robert gives me the creeps -- too possessive of her. Scott looks like he could be a lot of fun. None of the others float my boat yet. I do think Renda is cute and want to see more of him (and it's not just because his name is so similar to mine LOL!) I agree that she got rid of some cuties, but they were probably just too young. I'm glad she got rid of cherub and paco -- really too different for her. |
Max | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 08:17 am     Thanks for the link, Bluie. He is DEFINITELY in shape! I notice he lists a lot of stuff on his timeline, but not Cupid. I don't remember how they categorize his profession on the show. Did they say actor/model? Seems like he's gotten a lot of - ahem - exposure. |
