Kizz | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 04:58 am   Why don't they get people who watched the show and liked it to do the post-show stuff? Bryant Gumbel clearly despises his duty, and Letterman was so sarcastic and condescending (and yes I know thats the way he usually is!!) and it sort of takes the wind out of my sails to have to listen to people who aren't as excited about the show as I am. I'm geeky about this show I guess but thats the way I feel. And did anybody beside me think that Tom was drunk at that final TC?? |
Llkoolaid | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 05:12 am   I don't know if he was drunk or not but he sure acted a fool. I agree about Gumbel, he seemed condesending to these people. He didn't seem interested in what they had to say but more like he had a job to do so lets get it over with. Isn't they some host out there that likes this game. I thought Rosie liked it, now she would ask some funny questions. |
Mygetaway | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 08:01 am   Kizz~~And did anybody beside me think that Tom was drunk at that final TC??~~ ~~Llkoolaid --- I don't know if he was drunk or not but he sure acted a fool.~~ You know, I kind of thought that too. He acted an awful lot like he did that night in the tent with him and Lex. I don't know, I never really got "Tommy" vibes anyway. He was "so not" a Roger! {LOL} I also thought that Kim P looked like she had bad gas last night. Everytime the camera showed her, in the jury she had such a sour look on her face. {LOL} LL.. I guess Rosie quit watching after the cow thing. It really turned her off. I think Jane would do a much better job, because she seems to really like the people, but Bryant is the "SR" guy. (Yuck!!, I've never liked him either.) |
Quietstorm4 | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 11:20 am   Letterman was awful, but I didn't think Gumbal did such a bad job. He asked questions and I didn't think he was rude or anything about it. I thought it was a good reunion show. (And I don't like Gumbal either). |
Guinevere | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 11:38 am   Agree - Bryant Gumbel is an ass, but I didn't think he was so bad last night, either (except calling Amber stupid, which she is, but it was a pretty gratiutously rude thing to say on national television, IMO). Didn't see Letterman, but I think you've gotta expect him to be snarky. |
Car54 | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 11:39 am   I felt bad when he said Amber was dumb (not that she didn't play kind of dumb) I read somewhere that she was in the audience,too- and everyone in the cast and audience reacted, and then he had Ethan's name wrong- and Ethan did a double-take! I agree, I think Jane did a great job on the Early Show- she seems to genuinely like the game and to keep up with the players. |
Quietstorm4 | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 11:45 am   I stand corrected about him being rude. I totally forgot about the stupid comment, but I still don't think he was all that bad. |
Mindyrama | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 12:40 pm   I didn't think he was that bad either. In fact he seemed rather amused by Tom. |
Ketchuplover | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 01:49 pm   I still can't believe Tom is only 45/46 y/o |
Gina8642 | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 03:25 pm   I thought Gumbel did an ok job too, and I'm not a big Gumbel fan either. I admit, I went to bed before the second half, so maybe a missed a bit. I do think it would be fun to have someone who was totally into the show to do the questions. I think that would add to it. I really think sometimes they've completely missed the questions I really want answered. Car, I noticed Ethan's double take too. (lol) Personally I have no idea how to pronounce Ethan's sir name either, since I pretty much have only read it. But, I instantly thought to myself - Did Gumbel really not take the time to learn the correct pronounciation of each of the final four's names - that would have taken two minutes out of his life? Hey, he even could have done it while he watched Lindsey's audition tape. lol Besides, two of the names were easy....... |
Hippyt | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 08:01 pm   I always wonder why they continue to let Gumbel do these shows! Every single person I have ever talked too thinks he stinks at these interview! I realized pretty quick that they were in a studio when they were doing the final vote,but when they announced that Ethan won,here POPS the Hell Up Bryant Gumbel,I was like awwwww,YUUUUUUUUUck!Thanks for Officially ruining that moment! I think he actually did better this time than the last two,but he still stinks. Why would he have said Amber is dumb? That was just pitiful,and uncalled for! I don't understand why they don't let Jeff have a part in the reunion show,even if just to sit down for a few minutes and interact with the survivors and answer some questions.Or He could HOST it! He already knows them. Oh,I thought Tom was drunk too.His nose was all red,and he was acting ,well,drunk. |
Kizz | Saturday, January 12, 2002 - 07:03 am   And another point I'd like to make on Mr. Gumbel having trouble pronouncing Lex's last name and getting Ethan's completely wrong. Gumbel does probably thousands of interviews a year on the Early Show...and I'm sure he prepares in advance for each one. This time no different, except he's going to throw in a little passive-aggressive, you-people-are-so-unimportant-you-are-lucky-to-have-me-talk-to-you-at-all shot like not memorizing their names. Very unprofessional and childish to me. |
Misslibra | Saturday, January 12, 2002 - 08:37 am   Gumbel shouldn't have called Amber dumb. But I think he did a ok job overall, but it would be nice if they would switch it up between Jane and himself for the finale. But to be honset with you I wouldn't expect anything more from CBS. Because I thought they could of did a better job picking out a host for Big Brother. And I didn't see Letterman I fell asleep. Did Frank show up after saying he didn't care for Letterman ? |
Car54 | Saturday, January 12, 2002 - 10:45 am   I would like to see Jeff have a bigger part in the Finale. He has a really nice manner and clearly knows the show. MissL, the Letterman thing was a group appearance- it was done remote from the finale (Letterman tapes early) Frank was part of the group, but was part of the whole group lined up on stage. |
Misslibra | Saturday, January 12, 2002 - 11:18 am   Oh ok a group thing he had no choice. |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, January 12, 2002 - 01:30 pm   I'd like to see Probst do the reunion show instead of Bryant. I think Jeff could come up with some great questions, has developed a rapport with all of the 16, and he sure is into the game. I bet he also gets their names right. |
Lilliegirl | Saturday, January 12, 2002 - 08:29 pm   I think they should have used Richard Hatch as the host he knows more about the show than any other survivor, and the thing with Amber is she was dumb. Bryant just read what was on his notes and he had a good time with Tom, get real how many hicks do you see in a day not Bryant. Im a redneck from the south so that makes me a hick to but we are not stupid people. |
Hippyt | Saturday, January 12, 2002 - 08:51 pm   Richard as a host isn't a bad idea Lillie,but I think his ego is big enough already. He's the "Original Survivor" (in his mind anyway),so he'd have the attitude. I don't think Bryant specifies,he thinks all the survivors are dumb. Personally,I think Tom had a good time with Bryant! I still don't understand why Jeff can't host the reunion. |
Car54 | Sunday, January 13, 2002 - 05:10 am   There is a rumor that Richard Hatch is going to host Mole 3 in the summer since Anderson Cooper went to CNN. |
Squaredsc | Sunday, January 13, 2002 - 05:18 am   they should have one of mtv's people hosting it or someone from E, or how about will from bb2 hosting, that would have been better. or they could have had someone from one of the real world's hosting since that's a reality show also (and one of the best). i thought amber was dumb 2. |
Tntitanfan | Sunday, January 13, 2002 - 07:21 am   I don't care who hosts Mole 3 - just so Mole 2 happens SOON!! Has anyone heard a starting date? |
Car54 | Sunday, January 13, 2002 - 08:07 am   Tn, there is supposed to be an announcement from ABC about some schedule changes- some boards say there will be an announcement soon. I CARE. Sorry, Rich is smart, and can be amusing, but he is definitely not a HOTTIE. We can do better than this. |
Neko | Sunday, January 13, 2002 - 09:56 am   How come Bryant couldn't say "Zohn" right? Isn't pronouced like "John" except with a "Z" sound? What did he say it as again? "Zone" or something like that? Argh!!!I want Jeff!!! |
Car54 | Sunday, January 13, 2002 - 10:04 am   he said Zorn |
Twiggyish | Sunday, January 13, 2002 - 03:41 pm   Gumbel manages to insult someone each time. The last time he had a field day with Mad Dog and her weight. It seemed Bryant did make an effort to be friendlier this time. But, I agree.. I want Jeff!!! Or at least pick someone who LIKES the show and watches it. |
Jbean | Sunday, January 13, 2002 - 05:08 pm   I heard on (or i guess i should say after) the s1 reunion show that gumble hit on colleen and she made a comment to him about him being old enough to be her grandpa, lol. he gets on my nerves. acts like he thinks he is better than everyone! |
Lilliegirl | Sunday, January 13, 2002 - 07:33 pm   I cosign that Jbean but you have to give credit to Bryant he is a good reporter but they should give it to someone that has watched every show. Like anyone of us, at least we know all there names. |
