"There Goes the Neighborhood"
Posted by tjdmlhw on 08-10-09 at 08:28 AM

Did anyone else watch this show? It is another take off on Big Brother about families living in their own homes. They added a touch of Survivor by cutting off power to the homes and since I live in the same county that the show was filmed in, I can tell you that there have been some hot days this summer.
I haven't picked a favorite yet, but I did agree with the family kicked out last night. There was something about the father that I just didn't care for. I do believe that the single mother and daughter will be around for a while because I don't think the rest of the neighborhood sees them as a competition threat.

I'd seen it adv but didn't know it was on last night. Maybe I'll catch the re-run if they show one

It is on CBS, so Comcast might air it on OnDemand. They reshow Survivor and some of their other reality shows there.

I saw it.
A 'tasteful' wet tee shirt contest? (What a waste).
A few hurt feelings, a tear or two. Even a couple of snippy comments and a bit of angst. Whoop-de-do.
Oh yes, I forgot, petulant teenagers!! Double whoop-de-do.
The worst they have to deal with is lack of electricity? No bugs to eat? No Crocodiles or poisonous snakes? No insect hoards ravishing tender areas? Give me a break. Atlanta probably has its share of mosquitoes, but I bet that that they didn’t even confiscate “Off” or Citronella supplies.
Indications are that this will be "We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings" yawner. Jeeze.
So far it seems like a loser. Maybe they should let them carry concealed weapons and emulate East LA tensions.
Whitebread trapped in a block of East-LA...now that would be fun to watch.

Welcome to Stalag 13. I am Colonel Klink.
Or is it Gilligan‘s Island?
No phone, no lights no motor cars,
Not a single luxury..
Well, unless you get a new refrigerator chock full of steak and beer as ~~Head of Household~~ “King of the Neighborhood”. PLUS you have new friends. I am going to watch this very closely, because we have to figure out who fights over the last can of soup after The Big One flattens our State of Arnold.
Note: How the King got crowned is of no concern to you, unless you HAVE to know, and then you can rent my tape like jBug.
Now: “Families! Kommen Sie aus! ~~Tribal~~ Neighborhood Council!
Explain yourselves and your miseries being trapped with people you secretly hate, but are forced to smile at for the past few years because you’re stuck with a mortgage just like them.
Mullinoux family: “We miss electricity!’
Schindler family: “Hunky Dory!” (embossed by child/father adoration..awww).
FutureAlamo family: “Ugh -no a/c, and we’re looking forward to Jiffies heart attack.”
OK, Nelson Family, choose the two families who are Whacking Bait!
Chris: “In the spirit of choosing to create bitter feelings and neighborhood enemies long after this show is in the dustbin, let’s boot our lovely next door neighbors, the FutureAlamos (out of compassion for Jiffies potential death because of no a/c), and the Mullinex family, because they‘re a bunch of snotty whiners.
Now please, let me make a statement: even though it just kills me to name these families, I hope we’ll all be singing Kumbaya again after it’s all said and done, and I’m waving around my stacks of cash under everybody’s nose.”
KlinkNote: It’s a nice touch that during ~~Tribal~~ Neighborhood Council you get to see how many people supported you, instead of kicking you to the curb. /KlinkNote.

FutureAlamos! OUT you go!
We know that in the future you will take revenge in every possible way, and should the Nelsons win, their new Olympic sized infinity pool will never be without it’s midnight splash of another Giant Tootsie Roll.
Ahem.. That is a Tootsie Roll, isn’t it?

.."after The Big One flattens our State of Arnold."
We can only hope.
Go to the web site and answer the poll question: "Is the collateral damage to other Californians worth this show being sucked under a tectonic plate?".

"Darn it, Kingfish!"
Posted by foonermints on 08-10-09 at 03:33 PM

This is where we were planning on staying with all the rest of the people booted out of The Neighborhood.
Is nowhere safe?
btw: all 300 residents were safely evacuated

I think they should have to hold up the photo and let everyone know who is voting to save who. At least it might add more upset feelings and paranoia. Why let them hide behind secret voting? I want them to fight.

With the Mullinox's crying about the possiblilty of losing their house since they need the 250k for their mortgage, the Nelson's obvious bias against a "family with two moms", and the Upshorts screwink over their buddies the Nelsons..
I believe The Neighborhood is going to retain enough residual resentment as to accomplish the secret agenda of the producers: Ruin lives, relationships and dreams of everyone involved. Oh, and have someone set a leetle teensy fire over at the winner's house in the wee hours, with about two 55gal drums of kerosene.

Pointless revenge, lots of hurt feelings, personal slurs, vague threats and threatening stares...
I'm starting to like this show.

I caught part of the Scrabble game. Making the descriptive from the letters available struck me as a sensible (but unfortunate) high-scoring move, especially given the value of the Q.
When the Nelsons turned it into the plural slur noun...

Nice touch, that. Just one happy neighborhood after the show, no?

Just one happy neighborhood after the show, no?
And you'd have a hard time convincing me that wasn't the producers' goal all along.

If the Mullinex's had the chance to put down that word, and they didn't have a substitute (equal, queue, or queen, or whatever), would they have passed on it? And would they have passed on the plural?
Actually, after witnessing their emotional but pointless second penalty for the Nelsons, I think they might have.

I was thinking of the new park they'll build for the non-participating neighbors after bulldozing the radioactive wasteland left behind after they remove the wall.
Hey! didn't they have an E & D instead of a crummy 1 point S? Worth more..

"RE: Now it's a little bit meaner."
Posted by kingfish on 09-02-09 at 01:13 PM

Or an "ize"...To Queerize someone?
Hey, it's a word!

"Sure it is"
Posted by foonermints on 09-03-09 at 10:37 PM

A Queer word.
Had to Queer it up even more, din'tcha?
Now you Queered it all up.

"RE: Sure it is"
Posted by kingfish on 09-04-09 at 10:39 AM

Yeah. I queerized it. Guilty.
Alt: to Queerivate something. Means pretty much the same thing. I think. And that has a "v".

"RE: Sure it is"
Posted by foonermints on 09-05-09 at 03:21 PM

That's only four points. Come to think of it, those morons should have used a "z". It's another 10.
And it makes the word funnier. "Queerz".
That's the common spelling on Remulak, anyway. BUT it means something entirely different from cone honing.
