true 9228 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-16-01, 10:40 PM (EST) 2. "RE: Thank god it was only three weeks..." By far the worst reality tv game I have seen. (and I've seen em all) It made Boot Camp look good. I will say that Michael was a hoot, and made the show watchable for me, but the rest of the show was a disaster. true   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

You don't think Melissa played the best game?!?! Just because she wasn't as openly manipulative as Michael, doesn't make her a worse game player. She was hands down the best player there and deserved to win.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

SurvivorBlows 15190 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-16-01, 10:45 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Thank god it was only three weeks..." Look, I like Melissa, but exactly how did she "play?" ...make an agrument that she had the best love match and therefore deserved to win, but don't try and tell me she played the game the best -- she just watched the game get played all around her, she didn't "play" anything. -SB   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

deebo 30 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 10-17-01, 11:22 AM (EST) 17. "RE: Thank god it was only three weeks..." I think Melissa played a very good game. -you can see that Mike invited her into the chi-town alliance. She was perfectly willing to ride along with that, as long as it was beneficial to her. If you watch her body language closely, it looks like she isn't really into the alliance. (I did't think Ralph was either, by the way. Just a means to an end for both of them. As any alliance should be I guess...) I say that she wasn't totally into the alliance because I noticed during the time when she and mike were partnered up, talking about the alliance on their bed, she seemed to show a hint of annoyance. It was also obvious when she "called mike out". I am referring to the time Lisa was making her case to Mike in his room, before she was voted off. Melissa asked Mike something like "I didn't think it was all good. Why don't you want to talk about it now?". That forced Mike's feelings into the open, and he had to say "It's time to vote. There is nothing to talk about now." Or something like that. -while riding that alliance, she had Darin wrapped up. Remember the "I don't know who to trust" speech in Darin's room? -She also had a good relationship with Tomiko. I noticed after the salsa dance, she and darin were very excited for her, and were the first one's to congratulate her. I remember Lisa telling Melissa early on that Tomiko was being voted off, and I remember being surprised at Melissa's reaction. She seemed shocked, and almost angry. That baffled me then, but it made sense later, when she told Ralph that she would save tomiko because she really liked or bonded with her. I also remember a gender jury where it seemed like it was tomiko and melissa vs. toni and andrea. You didn't really hear any verbal exchanges, but it was more body language. Toni and andrea on one side, melissa and tomiko on the other, with a sizeable enough gap between the two groups. -After the infamous and highly anticipated Eye Bugging scene on the beach, Melissa was at least acting like she was on Jeanette's side. She was asking if Jeanette was able to see how Toni was playing her, making her seem sincere and concerned for Jeanette while also taking away from Toni's credibility. I really think that helped influence Jeanette's vote at the end. Now, you had to watch really closely to see that stuff, and make a few deductions or interpolations. It's not like we ever say much bonding between melissa and darin or tomiko or jeanette... but that is why I think she played well. She stayed true enough to herself to seem faily sincere, while working the angles enought to keep herself in the running.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

true 9228 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-16-01, 11:21 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Thank god it was only three weeks..." Well, the only person that actually admitted to playing the game was Michael. I've got nothing against Melissa and Darin, but I don't think the show portrayed them as the couple to "root for". Like SB said, Darin was hardly featured, and Melissa was never actually shown playing the game. It just wasn't at all satisfying to watch, and not because of the cast, but the way the game was set up. There was no "love" on the Love Cruise, and giving the final jury instructions to determine the best real couple, was a joke. Adding a third couple to the finals completely ruined the show. Gina was booted on the first episode, and almost won! All that did, was show how pathetic, bitter, jealous, hateful, and vindictive, Anthony, Toni, Andrea, and Ralph were. ( I didn't add Lisa to this list because I believe she actually had a reason to vote for Gina.) Darin and Melissa won! Whopee! (not) Viewers like to care about the winners, but the way they were edited, whats to care about? true   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

supershirll 91 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 10-17-01, 01:51 AM (EST) 11. "RE: Thank god it was only three weeks..." I hear ya, true! The rules for this show stunk. I do however think that Anthony had a "reason" to vote for Adrian, because he had said all along that Adrian was the only person he had gotten close to. I thought Lisa was part of the vindictive, shallow group. Funny, huh? I think I need to work on my spoiling skills!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

managerr 1959 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 10-16-01, 10:48 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Thank god it was only three weeks..." Melissa was able to wield a lot of influence without being so open about it. It was *she* that was able to save Michael, and Tomiko said on her website that Melissa saved her as well. They didn't show her openly plotting, but it was clear she had influence over Darin, Mike, Jeanette, and Tomiko. She and Mike were definitely co-leaders of the post Chicago-4 alliance.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

SurvivorBlows 15190 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-16-01, 10:56 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Thank god it was only three weeks..." managerr -- that's just my whole point on why this show sucked. If she REALLY did all that stuff, and she REALLY was leader, it would have been nice for the EDITING to give the audience some clue what was going on rather than this lame feeling that someone who flew completely under the radar won. And DARIN received what, maybe 15 minutes of air time in 7 episodes??? ...it's impossible for the viewer to feel much for two people we saw so little about. I'm very sorry about her family situation and all (I was wondering when the patented BMP Tragic Past was going to appear,) and once I saw that I KNEW she was winning, but I can't see how any viewer ended their viewing being satisfied. -SB   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

LAST EDITED ON 10-17-01 AT 09:40 AM (EST) >Michael was the only reason to watch. He played the best game and got screwed GOD BLESS AMERICA *** Exactly!!! What the hell was up with bringing back Adrian and For Chrissakes GINA????? WTF??? I will very respectfully disagree with our awesome SuperShirll, though - I didn't see Anthony's vote so much as for Adrian as against Melissa. I just felt like every vote placed for Adrian and Gina was a "spite vote" against Darin/Melissa or Michael/Jeanette, ya know? THAT many votes for those two??? I couldn't believe it! Just HOW did Gina and Adrian get that close to winning when they were both barely there? Adrian lasted a few more episodes, but come on!!! And idiot Gina was barely a blip on the radar! Hell, Bob got more face time when he asked if anyone was truly going to change their votes ! I, like most people here, am extremely proud of our Shakes for how he played the game and for his "Fifteen Minutes", LOL!!! But as many of us have stated, he was the ONLY reason we watched! What a horrible piece of crap that show was! The rules kept changing every week, and if they hadn't pulled that ridiculous third couple routine, Michael and Jeanette wouldn't have been left totally and completely holding the bag! Worst frickin' show ever - BUT I LOVE THAT CLOWN!!!!! Edit to add: Let's see a show of hands - how many people here were DYIN' to punch out Toni and Anthony at several given moments in the show????

PagongRatEater 12514 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-17-01, 10:41 AM (EST) 15. "RE: Thank god it was only three weeks..." It was soo- stupid to bring back one more couple. It basically invalidated everything that the final two couples had invested in getting that far. GINA! Come on - she spent two minutes socializing and basically said in the Hot Seat that she didn't like anybody on board. Letting two people come back from loser island, who were selected from among the losers guaranteed a tainted result. I don't think Mike would have won anyway, but the losers spent more time with other losers than with the people who actually had to work to stay on the boat! It was an interesting show, but I'm glad that this wasn't strung out over weeks. I wouldn't invest any time in a second "cruise" but I was interested in seeing how this turned out. Poor editing and character development made this show a dud.
