Crossfire | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 01:18 pm     That sounds pretty good then. We will still have plenty of Laura after the first three episodes. She is the one who is going to end up being the star of this show if the first episode was any indication. |
Puttergirl | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 02:15 pm     I'm willing to do a poll beginning the 4th week if anyone is interested. I found myself watching it too although I had sworn off of dating shows!!!! |
Ginger1218 | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 02:40 pm     I watched it too, and liked it. I can't stand it, I love all the reality shows, I need help. |
Snee | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 03:02 pm     i made the mistake of keeping the tv on for a bit after bb. now i'm hooked. it was hilarious and horrible. i'm not sure i'll care after the auditions, but until they're done i'm definitely in! |
Meme9 | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 07:25 pm     I thought I'd check out what you all thought of the show. I push record on the vrc for BB and forgot to turn it off, so I have Cupid on the tape. Wasn't going to waste my time watching it, but after reading your thoughts... now I have to watch it! I was hoping it wasn't any good. I'm having a hard time getting into BB this season...so it looks like I've got time for a few laughs with this show. |
Caroline | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 08:01 pm     I, too, left the TV on after BB and really hadn't intended to watch yet there I was...Guess I'm in the minority here but 'humilation for my personal entertainment' doesn't really work for me. I realize the majority of the guys are goofy but it seems that would be the type to show up for these 'audutions'. Thanks for the info, Sweetbabygirl...looks like Episode 4 and on may be the kinder, gentler part of this show... |
Rockmin | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 08:47 pm     The guys were really fun to watch but Lisa's "friends" were disgusting, especially blondie. The forced bitchiness just seemed to scream "look at me, I'm a media star". And then that hooker outfit she was almost wearing.... Isn't this show supposed to be about Lisa? If they feature much more of blondie I'll pass on this show. The second part of the season sounds a lot like "Taildaters" anyway. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 09:57 pm     i also thought the humiliating of the men was awful. ripping the picture was awful. screaming 'loser' was awful. i won't be watching this one any more. it really left me with a yucky feeling. it's not even something i can watch to 'laugh at', because it was so hurtful--and laura's screeching and kimberly's f-this and f-that just weren't lady-like. makes me wonder what lisa is really like and just why she hasn't been lucky in love even with her looks and education. must be a reason!! |
Just4fun | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 10:42 pm     Is it just me, or does anyone else find this show to be so fake.That doesn't mean I don't think it's funny,because I do. I just can't believe these guys are for real. To me, there is too much over-acting going on. Can they truely believe they have half a chance with this girl, acting the way they do, not to mention how some of them look. This is a rip off of American Idol. Oh well, the fun continues! |
Julie | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 11:37 pm     I totally agree with Rockmin about the blonde friend. Tasteless, tacky and rude. Most of that HAD to be scripted! I felt sorry for some of the guys and hoping they had scripts too and warned. They should rename the show "Mental Fear Factor" or "Meet My Friends....From Hell" |
Eliz87 | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 12:01 am     Actually, I have a friend whose attitude isn't too far from Laura's. After her divorce, a man had to do a LOT to get her attention and approval. My husband said that Laura is divorced. Maybe she's just going through a phase where she figures that men are dogs. But still, I think she's only being ultra-protective of her friend. |
Hobbs | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 06:02 am     After reading the CBS post, I am now more convinced than ever that this is just AI for a husband. Real originality there Simon. |
Madelane | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 07:15 am     I liked it. The friends cracked me up. I felt sorry for one or two guys but most of them needed a reality check. I will never understand why some men feel the need to approach women clearly outside their league. I'm talking about guys like the one who had his picture ripped up, not like the poor guy who hadn't dated since 1983. Some guys you can politely decline, but some just need to be put in their place. I thought Laura looked hot in the Miami dress and she might have been seeing if the guys focussed on Lisa or on her chest, since that would be someone to avoid. These girls remind me of my friends, but then I'm in L.A. and the single girl life out here is much like it is portrayed in NYC on Sex and the City. Ruthless. That being said, I felt bad for the singer guy with the sweat bands on his wrists - they crossed the line making fun of his accent and I felt uncomfortable in a cultural sort of way, if you know what I mean. You don't "go there" with accents. And the preview stick incident someone else mentioned - Laura can't grab for his stick and then complain when he pushes her away. |
Maris | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 09:47 am     I liked the show too. Simon knows how to go for the camp and that is what makes him enjoyable to watch. I did think that tearing that guys photo up was way over the top and that is the one thing that bothered me. |
Luvtrash | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 08:30 pm     Snee has it right--"hilarious and horrible". I didn't intend to watch but couldn't look away. Even allowing for the type of guys that would sign up for this kind of thing, I can't believe the stupid things they said and did to "impress" a woman! The blonde friend is a bit ruthless, but think how you would feel after about the 30th one of these and looking forward to 70 more? I have no idea what they intend to do for the show itself, but (shame on me) I will be there watching the auditions! |
Muse | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 10:36 pm     I think Laura was too over-the-top as well. I can see why Simon claims she's worse than him. While Simon is rude and says things on AI for shock value, comedic effect, and to sway viewers, I never felt like his primary goal was just to hurt contestants. Laura, on the other hand, seems just poised to attack. And like others have mentioned, I was especially annoyed by her getting angry when the guy puts up his hand to try to stop her from grabbing the stick. I think it was pretty clear that he was just trying to fend her off, and didn't make any move that could have hurt her. I did enjoy watching some of the ways the guys tried to impress the ladies, though. I thought Paco (I think that's his name -- the guy with all the tattoos) was especially entertaining since he didn't back down when they tried to attack him, and ended up being selected to move on since he was so surprisingly normal and grounded. |
Rslover | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 10:46 am     I'm sure that Simon told the girls to "ham it up". I'm loving this show. Couldn't stop laughing. Some of these guys reminded me of some blind dates I've had! |
Sweetbabygirl | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 10:49 am     For those that didn't get to see it the first time, it will be rebroadcast tonight at either 9 or 10 p.m. |
Rslover | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 10:52 am     Agreed with the picks, with the exception of the tatooed guy with the skateboard (and mother). |
Bbfanatic | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 11:20 am     this show is awful. the blonde friend is soooo fake. |
Crossfire | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 11:57 am     awful funny. |
Melfie1222 | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 09:49 pm     omg, I didn't change the channel quick enough after BB tonight... now I am sucked in. So far the person I am least interested in watching is Lisa. |
Julie | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 04:55 pm     I watched the repeat last night and was even more convinced it is scripted. I think Laura is like Simon ...one of those you "love to hate" perhaps. Not sure if I'll stick with watching it. And she's a hair dresser! Can you imagine going to her on a bad day??!! "What do you mean you want HIGHLIGHTS??!! You call this pile of straw on your head hair?? You dont deserve any &^%* HIGHLIGHTS??!!...." |
Tagurit | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 06:11 pm     I was flipping from this show (first time watching it) and Last Comic. I can't stand that blond friend! She is just on it to be on TV. She drove me crazy. I'd take Simon over her. And, can anyone tell me what the heck she was wearing while they were in Miami?! Was it just a shawl? Was it a shawl over a skirt? Whatever it was she looked horrible in it. |
Kellirippa | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 07:27 pm     OMG...these girls are not nearly as picky this week as they were last week, they are letting a lot of losers go forward this week. Yuk! You'd think NewYork would have a lot better to offer. |
