Tonight's Show- 8/27 (contains spoilers)
Hermione69 | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 07:33 pm     competition to see which of remaining 4 will get to pick the two who go before board. they have to get out of a huge money bag and a straight jacket and carry coins to their piggy banks. dawn marie gets free first and starts filling her piggy bank. the other 3 (uncle mike, cousin mike, and ed) get free. uncle mike starts helping ed instead of working on his own piggy bank, hoping ed will edge out dawn marie with the two of them working on filling ed's bank. DING! dawn marie wins and nominates ed and.......... uncle mike!! she says, "maybe now it will be a fair game with no one helping anyone." she is very proud of herself for this win. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 07:39 pm     and the 7th person to be denied access to the fortune is... UNCLE MICHAEL! |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 08:01 pm     Oh man! Dawn Marie is my new IDOL! She was great tonight. This show cracks me up from beginning to end. I am going to miss it when it's over. I can't wait until next week when the BOT is revealed. I LOVE THIS SHOW! |
Curlyq | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 08:43 pm     Wow! Dawn Marie was incredible in that competition. When her head disappeared I thought she had given up and curled up in the fetal position in that bag. Then suddenly it tips over and gives birth to Dawn Marie! It was like watching a magic trick. As much as I thought she'd been acting like a horse's patoot at the dinner table earlier, I was so very proud of her winning that competition all by herself and against two guys who were working together. It doesn't seem like the chef was offended by her earlier behavior either. I thought I heard him call her "sweet" during the board meeting. I thought it was very interesting when Ringo blew the whistle on how Ed had been getting information out of him. I also liked how he feigned surprise as the outcasts explained the voting process to him. Also found it interesting that Anthony has at least two other siblings. Perhaps this is why his parents haven't been working to help him win. They don't want it to look like favoritism. Anyone notice how his father said if he couldn't win he'd want either Donna or Ed to win (rather than Anthony)? The art lesson was hilarious. I also have a whole new respect for Anthony's ability to socialize. He really worked the room with those socialites. I don't know why but those rich people didn't look the way I expected wealthy socialites to look. I guess I've seen too many movies. |
Kellee | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 08:58 pm     Next week will be must see TV between the returning guests on PH and the reveal of the BOT I am so pysched I dont even care that it is the first week of back to work as normal....*LOL*... I thought Dawn was fantastic tonight...and her reasoning to them that they were ganging up was perfection that wasnt fair... I still want cousin Mike to win though..without a doubt... |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 10:26 pm     gosh, i swear there was someone in dawn marie's bag to help her! that was so funny to hear the other's say, "where did dawn's head go?"!! |
Dee | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 10:41 pm     OMG, I thought Dawn Marie had fainted in that bag! Good for her for winning the challenge AND for having the guts to nominate Uncle Michael. I loved it when Anthony said about the BOT, "When we find out {who they are}, we're either going to be pissed or shocked". Oh yeah, baby! |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 11:38 pm     Curlyq: I'm with you! For some odd reason, I never would have thought Donna and Michael had other kids. I don't know why, but I thought Anthony was an only child. |
Weenerlobo | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 07:56 am     Ya gotta luv that Dawn Marie - she rocked last nite!! If it ends up being Dawn Marie and Cousin Mike as the last 2, then the BOT will have a real hard time deciding. I still want Cousin Mikie to win, though. Rootin for the outsider! I loved what Ringo did last nite, questioning the "losers" in the kitchen about the BOT - that was just priceless! And how about the look on the chef's face while he's doing it! |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 08:28 am     Great episode. I was so proud of Dawn Marie for having the guts to take out Uncle Mike! What was on the plate that made her walk away from the table? I really want Cousin Mike to make it to the final 2. I hope the board keeps him around. |
Pbnj | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 08:54 am     It was a great win for Dawn...it was funny when she said she wanted to 'savor it' I'm with the rest of you...I want a cousin Mike win but a Dawn win would be cool too...it's between the two I'm sure. I think Mike is the favorite of the board tho so it's lookin' good! |
Seamonkey | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 09:50 am     I agree that Dawn Marie rocked in getting out of the bag, but with her stupid strolling around and refusing to help cousin Mike.. she could have made a deal with him so that Uncle Mike and Ed couldn't pull ahead .. She had to know that she and Mike would nominate the other two and that if she didn't move her tush faster, Uncle Mike and Ed would have put her up to the BOT with Cousin Mike. So, yeah, in her clueless way she won.. But, her nominations.. while they were obvious.. finally someone had the guts to do the right time and nominate Uncle Mike!!! |
Dahli | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 10:38 am     It was a great win! but we couldn't help but wonder... was there any 'help' from those who strapped them in - making hers just a titch easier to get out of...? and therefore making it a little more likely she could stay in the game? |
Fruitbat | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 01:37 pm     Brenda, I couldnt figure out the appetizer, looked like a sea urchin but I doubt that. The entree was a large bone with a spoon in it to eat the marrow and meat clinging at the bottom. Marrow is delicious and I am sure the beef was excellent. She freaked at the sight of the bone I guess. Maybe she watches Fear Factor and Survivor and got confused that the format differed greatly. Amazing that Dawn immediately got the idea that to get out of the jacket you have to bring your arms to the front by swinging them forward under your bottom and legs! The minute I saw her go down I knew that she had it. Funny that everyone else just thought she was being stupid or nuts. Even after she was free no one connected what she had done! Good for her. I had knots in my stomach at her leisurely pace though. jeeeeeeeeeze. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 01:39 pm     How many players do you think know the staff is the board? I say, cousin Mike, Uncle Mike, Maria and Ed for sure. |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 03:46 pm     Thanks Fruit -- I didn't realize it was a bone. I couldn't figure out what the first thing was either! I also thought Anthony was an only child -- he sure seems spoiled enough to be one. (I say that as the mother of an only child...) |
Hermione69 | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 06:46 am     I thought it WAS a sea urchin, and it was called that by someone, at least according to the closed caption, but it could have been someone being sarcastic or referring to what it looked like! Dawn Marie, IMHO, strikes me as the relative that everyone thinks is wacky and makes fun of behind her back. All the more reason for me to root for her to upstage the others! Except for Cousin Mike, of course! I liked that he gave her kudos for her performance because the others still don't seem to be giving her much credit. I think Ed and Cousin Mike know the staff = SBoT. Not sure about anyone else. Dawn doesn't seem to have a clue, but that could work to her benefit because she definitely couldn't be accused of manipulating them a la Ed. |
Realfan | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 08:40 am     Sea urchins are a delicacy. I never knew people ate them until I played Zeus on the computer (ancient Greece city-building game) and sea urchins were one of the food items! Here's a bit from a web site about them: <<The increased demand in sea urchins, whose roe is a Japanese sushi ingredient, is causing the problem of overfishing in California. Sea Urchins, regarded as "pests" until now because they feed on kelp, are now California's largest export item from the ocean, thanks to the steady demand from Asia. A sea urchin,a simple ball of spines from outside, has the roe, or "uni," inside, which is a delicacy in Japanese sushi bars. Sea urchin fisheries started in the States in 1971 with a federal program to foster them, but the business became more and more profitable recently as the yen began to rise against the dollar. Today, there is a certain "gold-rush mentality," with approximately 500 licensed sea urchin divers in California. While factors other than fishing,such as warm ocean currents and stormy winters, affect the sea urchin population, those in the industry say that they have the most to lose in the long run from overfishing. The California Department of Fish and Game has come up with several proposals for quotas, none of which satisfied the industry. Most significantly,there is no consensus on the size of a sustainable amount of "principal." A fast solution is needed as California's harvest is already showing the signs of decline. >> |
Dogdoc | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 03:51 pm     I missed the show this week because my stupid TV Guide didn't list it. For this Thursday the guide shows NFL football. Does this mean no Family this week? |
Pamy | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 04:29 pm     Dog..Family is on Wed nite. Go to Realitynewsonline.com, they have a great 7 pg recap of last weeks show! |
Dogdoc | Monday, September 01, 2003 - 04:51 am     Thanks Pamy. I guess TV Guide isn't stupid after all, I am. For some reason I thought it was on opposite Temptation Island but now I remember it's on the same night as Paradise Hotel. To think there was a time when I refused to watch reality shows. Well, I'm off to see what happened on BB last night. |
