GAWD! I watched about 20 minutes and wanted to scratch out my eyes. Made "I'm A Celebrity Get Me Outta Here!" look like pure gold in comparison. If there is a TV God in Heaven this piece of felgercarp will be smote mightily before the closing credits.

They're doing Gilligan's Island without fast-action! That's just wrong.Lovey From Hell is a real piece of work. Having the two teams share one camp is an interesting idea, one I've thought they should try on Survivor some time. For real from the start I mean, not like the fake merge in Thailand. The whole head-to-head eliminations thing would make more sense if they were in separate camps, though. I don't think they thought it out as well as they should have. SMILES ARE FREE

LAST EDITED ON 12-01-04 AT 00:33 AM (EST)I missed the first hour, will see that later. The funniest thing to me was the host, the guy could have been Jeff Probst's clone. I think the show would be better if they had seperate camps, it is too eazy to get the groups confused. I like the way the first competition ended . The contest reminded me of the raft competition in A-S-S, same result. I think I can guess the order of contests, Professors, MaryAnnes, Millionaires, Gingers, Gilligans. The older Millionaire Wife was just extreme. She made the other Millionaire couple look like Saints. Edited to add: saw the first hour. That was unfortunate that the one Skipper had an problem and couldn't get up, but what was with all the snipping by Rachel Whatshername saying that the other team should have stopped? The other team didn't know he was having a health emergency, even if they did, what were they going to do about it? What a B1tch, trying to act all sanctamonious and all. Now we know why they did the fast action with Alan Hale.

The game is close to Survivor but there are enough differences (head-to-head eliminations instead of getting voted out at Tribal Council) that I doubt EPMB would bother with a lawsuit. And Gilligan's Island has a longstanding previous claim to using "castaways" to describe the cast.Well, they've managed to eliminate two of the players I genuinely liked, I should have expected it. First night cast impressions: Gilligan Chris: indifference Skipper Bob: like Thurston Glenn: dislike Lovey Mindy: like Ginger Rachel: indifference Professor Pat: like Mary Ann Kate: indifference Gilligan Gooner: like Skipper Jim: indifference Thurston Bill: indifference Lovey Donna: hate Ginger Nicole: indifference Professor Eric: like Mary Ann Amanda: like SMILES ARE FREE

LAST EDITED ON 12-01-04 AT 10:57 AM (EST)>but anyway...having just seen them do their first challenge, what do >y'all think the odds are that EPMB will file a >lawsuit? i mean if he sued (albeit unsuccessfully) the >i'm a celebrity, get me out of here producers, then >there's no doubt that this show ripping off his immunity >challange from S1 is gonna really ruffle his feathers. I had the same thought as soon as I saw the floating flaming cauldron, it was like gee, let's not be too obvious that we're ripping off Survivor, LOL. Also, did anyone else notice the quality Apprentice-like voiceover dubbing on some of the host's announcements? There was one semi-closeup scene (from the waist up) where they even showed his lips moving but the words coming out of my TV totally didn't match. All in all, although I didn't watch them until the post-Sex In The City rebroadcasts, I found the two-hours enjoyable... but also incredibly derivative of Survivor -- from Jeff clone straight out of Central Casting, to the cauldron challenge, to calling them "challenges," to the "rewards," to the poor-man's necktie buffs. I'm glad to see the other professor go, I could care less about his sexuality, but his arrogance completely rubbed me the wrong way. Also, since when was the real professor supposed to be some type of socialogical/psychological geek? That's not the type of practical professor they had on the island -- the real professor was always made out to be some type of hard-core physicist or engineer, not a "tell me how that makes you feel" guy. That guy wasn't even worthy of carrying the real professor's pocket protector. Btw, not that I wish harm on him, but it was about time one of the out of shape contestants competing in these reality TV physical challenges had a near-heart attack -- I've been expecting it to happen for some time, if nothing else the law of averages catches up with you.

First: I watched the first hour, then caught only brief glimpses of the second, taping it while I watched TAR.Second, I just got up, so I'm not coherent enough for anything coherent. Third... 'Surreal' is a good way to start. The image of five Skippers trying to strangle five Gilligans may be locked into my brain through the next six incarnations. The wreck of the Minnow looked like someone had slapped glue over sand five minutes before the contestants arrived, while the huts looked like Survivor paradise. The competitions were giving me and every CBS lawyer multiple flashbacks. Voodoo Village may be the single dumbest set ever constructed for reality show revelations, and yes, that includes the fireplace in Joe Schmo. Where did they find Gilligan Gooner? Can they send him back as soon as possible? Can they do it before he takes his shirt off -- my eyes! My eyes! The blonde Lovey? My ears! My ears! They did come close to some fun moments. Watching the dual casts run into the water was on the good side of the surreal, as was watching everyone getting to their ships. Both Professors having studied up on bamboo-tech -- beautiful. The 'I used to be a Mary Anner, but as I age, I'm turning more into a Ginger' -- cute. Glenn embracing his role by trying to buy any comfort he can IOU for -- nice touch. The show overall? Help... To quote Fishercat: This is what I signed up for?

I think Lovey from Hell should be put on the Gay Mafia hit list. I couldn't believe some of the crap that came out of that old trashy wenches mouth. I feel bad for her kids, if they were not embarrassed by her, then it's too late for them, they've already been tainted by her venomous spewings. I'll have to admit, after watching both episodes, I think I might be hooked. So far the Gold team is my favorite for 2 reason, I do kinda have a slight crush on Rachel Hunter and think she makes the best Ginger, and for the simple fact they don't have distasteful, delusional, detestable, disagreeable, disgusting, dreadful Donna on their team.

LAST EDITED ON 12-01-04 AT 02:52 PM (EST)The show is a pretty shameless Survivor Copy, only not quite as good. I wish they had told us what the Grand Prize is. Unless of course, it's a surprise at the end that it is actually very little, like a sea shell or something. That would be hilarious. The show seems to have hotter girls than Survivor usually does. I'm in love with Mary Ann Kate. The other Mary Ann, was she on the screen more than 2 seconds? I barely even remember her. Hopefully she will be the one to go next. Without tribal council and voting each other out though, you lose all the plotting and scheming. Isn't that what makes Survivor great? It's like they are remaking Survivor without the best part. I have a feeling this will be another one of those shows I'll start watching, lose interest, then come back for the finale. Edited to add: Using the term Movie Star to describe Nicole Eggert of Rachel Hunter is using the term very, VERY, losely.

18. "Finally watched it..." |
OK now I have watched it and I'm hooked. Lots of reasons to hate people and laugh at others.I thought Aunt Donna on The Family was the worst Donna on a reality show. But we have a new winner. Where did they find this female (I can't call her a lady)? She is the trashiest rich witch. And I loved Rachel's remark about how she looked in the fire light. Losing Eric didn't bother me. The only reason I would want him to stick around would be to annoy the righteous Donna. But still Eric was not the right kind of professor. The real professor wasn't the Dr Phil type. And Eric was too arrogant. I didn't like that the one Skipper gets to go on without having to do a one-on-one and win it. But that's what happens when they use older players in physical challenges. I like the one rich couple. They are a hoot. But Donna is a nightmare. Will we ever see what happens on the banned side of the island?
