Thanks Pensha - the show was bumped here for a debate between local politicians. I didn't really "care" but I was curious about who won.

"everyone cares since..."It's because Cuban's methods create a smoke screen. He seems interested in reactions based on emotions which would seemingly give us the end result of "do you have what it takes." But the results are actually skewed because the main and only motivator is money. Not all decisions in life are based on money. He makes it sound like the only reason people get up in the morning is to go out and make money, and/or the only reason he/others go into business is to make money. I noticed that he is all alone in his mansion, and he said he hasn't taken a vacation in years. He's lopsided. He recruited those people, so he could try and figure out what he's doing wrong. He is well aware that he doesn't have it all, but he doesn't want you to know that. He admonished the buff chick with the NY accent because she was living in style. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't she say she grew up in poverty, not necessarily still living in poverty? Based on what he conveniently overlooks, he's the type of guy who would write about book about Princess Diana, make a billion dollars by exploiting her death, and not share any of the proceeds with the royal family. Granted, the royal family is rich and they don't need the money per se, but an honerable author would share the proceeds appropriately. Even if the Royal Family didn't want the money, they could donate it to charity in order to turn his blood money into something positive. He hides behind the fact that it's a game, but if he was really a good natured person, he would at least reimburse the participants for game-related expenses and/or lost wages while playing. He never will - he's a user. I think people were rooting for the underdog, and the educated lady ended up winning. She has taken a different path in life, so we was able more easily identify to say the things that Cuban wanted to hear. It's as if Cuban used only their reaction at the end to decide who gets the money, and he forgot all about past efforts. If this is what it's like taking the pulse of the nation, basically most of us are screwed.

Mark said she could have easily sold a couple of her plasma screens and helped her mother.Giving Linda the benefit of the doubt, I think she made it clear that the house and plasma screens, along with the money to purchase both, was her boyfriend's. But who could tell from the whacked cut job by the editing team.... How many of you out there would expect your boyfriend to by Mom a new leg? I'll give it to ya that Linda probably had the balls to do it! The entire basis for letting people go on the show was so subjective it was laughable. This garbage (which I watched all the way thru )deserves a place in the Reality TV Hall of Shame.

Actually - if I lived with and was engaged to a guy that WOULDN'T buy my mom a leg - that would be crap. I dont know anything about the Boston area but have heard the area they live in is very influential. I have no doubt her mother probably either has a leg - or doesnt want one but Linda used that as a key to stay in the game. I dont blame her for trying - matter of fact good for her - but dont ##### about it when it blows up in your face. Your game plan failed - simple as that.

I think Dominic needs to figure out what motivates him. I don't think he enjoys enough of a variety of things to find the benefit in going to college.If nothing else, expanding his horizons would make him a better song writer, that is, if he's serious about his music. It was hard to tell. He's a simple man and too laid back. He lacks maturity and drive. He's probably too influenced by his current lifestyle and group of buddies to be like Cuban. He was probably just out for a free ride. He had no real plan for the money other than to be a party dude on the beaches on Mexico. I will say this, he does seem good natured. I love that he gave that little boy his necklace. On that premise alone, I would have loved to have seen him defeat Femia. I can't put my finger on all of it exactly, but I am not happy for Femia.

I wonder why she lied about being able to use a computer? I wonder why she showed him her boyfriend's house, unless she recently got rid of her old place? Either way, she definitely had a guilty look on her face. I don't like the way Cuban set the game up, but I am glad that Linda lost.

Did anyone notice the horriblly bad editing on last nights show? And what happened to hometown visits to Famia & Dom?? Just wanted to focus on Lindas big fat lie? I wish MC had told her off. That would made it worth my time. Snooze fest!!!! Maybe Famia should use some of that $$ and get a hairdo a little more tamed. She looks like she was stuck in a rainstorm for six months. ok,.. one more rant. Dom and MC buddies for like? PLEASE!!!!!!!!

LAST EDITED ON 10-26-04 AT 07:10 PM (EST)>Did anyone notice the horriblly bad >editing on last nights show? >And what happened to hometown >visits to Famia & Dom?? That's what happens when you are forced to squeeze 180 minutes of planned footage into 60 minutes: http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=2984 When I saw them completely cut the other home visits I thought wow, they're serious with these cuts -- only to see them, justa few seconds later, wasting minute after minute on dumb "suspense building" drama. I think if they had re-edited the WHOLE footage of the three episodes they could have done a much better job with the editing -- instead it looked like instead of re-editing every individual segment and removing unnecessary material, the producers took a "what the ####" approach (figuring the show was cancelled anyways) and decided to just stick entire previously edited segments of the last three episodes together. The fact that they learned of the cancellation a week before Ep5 aired and yet still opted to air Ep5 as originally designed (rather than re-edit it to include some of the original Ep6's footage and better balance the reduction in airtime) just seemed to reinforce this point. I mean really, did we need 30+ minutes to find out the final winner?

I was a fan until the end. MC wanted to see how they'd react to losing. He made some comparison to a job he got fired from. I wonder if his salary was $1 mill a year. Losing a Million is much different. He seemed to enjoy seeing them suffer. To me that went over the line

LAST EDITED ON 10-27-04 AT 02:19 PM (EST)This show was terrible and Mark Cuban was downright creepy. I'm glad they shortened it two weeks because otherwise, I probaby would have watched it anyway. They saved me from two hours of hell. ETA - I don't even care enough about this show to fix my spelling mistakes! Handcrafted by RollDdice!

Sorry Electro, but with the man-crush Cuban had on Dominic, he could have said 'dude' 10 times in each sentence and it would not have mattered. Say what you will about Cuban being a geek, dork, whatever, the man did not get to be a billionaire by making stupid business decisions like choosing possible/wannabe friendship over common- and not so common-sense. Femia had both. And, unlike the lying, conniving Linda, she was honest, sincere, and resilient (the last interview where she basically said "I'm miserable that I lost, but I'll get over it and move on"). Cuban was looking for what it takes to succeed in life - Femia had it. The drive, determination, ambition, WILL to win, pleasing personality, beauty, not brilliant but a goodly amount of intelligence, and the greatest indicator of success there is -- LUCK (as when someone remarked that although the quarterback at a charity benefit won the passing contest, he won it with a lucky pass, the quarterback laughed and said, "I'd rather be lucky than talented"). It was a low-level competition, but Femia won it, fair and square.P.S. Plus, as Cuban showed us plainly with his offer of a college schlorship to Dominic - you can always buy friends.
