I caught most of the first episode of house of dreams. IMHO it is just a lame version of Survivor. It has almost nothing to do with building a house, I had hoped it was some kind of cometition based house building exercise. At least on Survivor they don't start targeting the 'strong' players until the tribes merge, on HoD the first vote was based entirely upon who would be easier to defeat in the end. Great concept, have a game where the weakest player wins!!!

heh, i thought it was retardedly humourous. Kinda like Joe Schmoe for those dating/marriage games. I thought it was funny to see her squirm, and take it from him.

I think the woman, Randy, is still smiling for the camera like a good little DAW. You can tell she's torn. She wants to be a DAW but is it really worth it? She reminds me of the intro to Three's Company when Suzanne Somers gets squirted with water on the balcony. She's surprised and ticked off, but then she sees the camera and starts smiling and being a DAW. Randy smiled through that whole thing and never forgot the cameras.

I think Randy looks a little bit like Carmen Rasputin from the 2nd AI.

The guy, Steve, reminds me of a fat Tom Hanks, but not quite as endearing.

I'm a little confused about the premise. I understand that if they dupe everyone, they get money. So why is Fat Tom so intent on making this hard for her? Shouldn't he be wanting the ruse to work, too? Or is he getting paid an enormous amount of money no matter what the outcome?

He's a paid actor, but I doubt he is paid an 'enormous' amount of money. His 'family' are also actors. I suspect her family and freinds are in on the joke also, but that has'nt been revealed yet.

See you next Monday night, Beav.

Seriously, I know what you mean. The previews to future shows in the series made me cringe. Watching this family trying desperately to save their daughter from making a huge mistake was, as you say, wrong.

I kept thinking of my late father and how such a thing would just rip his heart out.

pretty interesting. I have to watch more of it to get a better feel of it, but so far, so good. Plus, he isn't there to make anything easy for the family or her. But, he going to have to watch what he says and does or someone may start asking questions about the whole thing and ruin everything.

spoilers...lol...the spoiler is that the show is lame.

Listen, My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance, I knew the Joe Schmoe Show, the Joe Schmoe Show was a friend of mine, and your no Joe Schmoe Show!

I like seeing drama queens cry as much as the next guy , but it gets kinda old when that is the only emotion you see. Week1: Randi crys because see thinks the guy is hot for her. Week2: Randy crys because see is embarresed in front of her friend. Week3/4/5/6: embaressment/crying.

Even if this show does 'make sense' (I still have reservations about why she wouldn't catch on eventually) you only see one emotion. In the Joe Schmoe Show, one minute Matt would be shocked, then elated, then confused, then angry, etc...

Zany, retarded, nonsensical but I laughed all the way through it.

DH and I were amused by the show. Steve didn't seem obnoxious. He was more uncouth and clumsy. Maybe he'll turn on the "obnoxious" when he meets her family.

My one objection ... Did they really have to show us his hairy back? *shudder*

He does have gorgeous eyes.

Thanks Frisky. I was trying to think of who Randy reminded me of and you are right ... It's Carmen from AI. *nuzzle*

*lvoe butt*

I also thought she looked kinda like that chick on the Y&R. I don't watch it now, but the girl was named "Cricket." She looked a bit like her, too.

The guy is soooooo Fat Tom Hanks.

I watched mildly amused from the start. I was very confused at how they had convinced Randi to sit in a hotel room for 2 or 3 weeks without knowing what show she was going to be on. What kind of DAW do you have to be to do THAT? Any sympathy I might have felt was negated by the fact that she signed on for a reality show without any idea of the premise. What an idiot.

I like the real guy whose name is escaping me. The persona is disgusting. The bidet thing was rather funny, the table manners thing gross, the massage thing perfect to embarass her, but the highlight of the evening for me???

THE "NAKED DANCE"

He had me laughing me freaking head off. I thought I was going to fall off the couch. He was so perfectly in character and hilariously over the top that I was hoping that HE would get a milion bucks.

Other than that? I'm not so sure. It's really kind of stupid.
