I think Kristy (Blonde with a space in her tooth), and Ellie (Red Head Eliminated last week). I"m sure I saw both on them, in the summer Fox reality show Casino.It's kinda weird, maybe these contestants are actors not business men/women. Kinda like Average Joe was.
Kinda like pretty much every Reality TV show. Eli's bio says that she is the director of her own 'Entertainment marketing company'. Probably a client list of one.

Edited to save IceCat the trouble of freaking out over a duplicate posting.
There was a reality show on FOX about casinos? Can't have been. I'm sure someone here would remember...
I knew that the red head looked really familiar....now that you mention Casino it makes sense. She was the really uptight jerk at the bachelorette party who wouldn't stop ripping on the strippers from the bachelor party.
I can't place Kristy though? Do you remember what she was doing on Casino. I seem to remember her being part of the same party as Elle.....is that true? If so, then they were friends prior to the show, which hasn't been made evident from the editing at all.Good catch on Elle though! Now I can sleep at night cause it was driving me crazy...at least when I was watching the show.
So don't take the simple
fact that I think Shakes is godlike to mean that I think he isn't an ass. -Samiam 10/12/04
Yes both Kristy and Elle were at the same bachelorette party. Both of them objected to the strippers (Elle was the major one), but I remember Kristy because of the space between her teeth. So I"m pretty sure she was also at that party.I find that kinda weird though, both people on the Casino are on this show. Strange because both shows are pretty different, not a real connection. Then again, why would Fox bother putting people on the Casino in this show, I mean it would be more credible to get different people.
LAST EDITED ON 12-09-04 AT 12:39 PM (EST)Which episode would this have been -- I only watched the first few episodes, but think I still have everything up through episode 7 or 8 floating around on VHS tape (I think I gave up trying to tape it when Fox also stopped caring about it and burned the remaining episodes off on Sundays)
Given that the shows are produced by different production companies (casino by Burnett, Boss by the sleazy Rocket Science folks) the only explanations would be something like shared third-party casting folks, etc. -- or maybe Rocket Science just cast the show using tapes of old Fox reality shows. Did Toni get a call?

if they are going to recycle people they ought to recycle our very own Shakes. at least he was entertaining to watch.(i'd love to see him in the big brother house.)
My week for questions. What show was shakes on and how can I see the god's image?
!
he was on love cruise. (if you didn't see it i must warn you that it is a fairly painful show to watch so be prepared.)shakes=michael
(truth be told i was kinda hoping for a love cruise II)
Thank!

From tvtomb:
November 24, 2004FOX's Big Fat Obnoxious Con: Many viewers of My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss have suspected that the show is a hoax in more than one way --- that one or more of the so-called business professaionals are actors and are in on the hoax. After much discussion, TV Tome can now reveal that several of the so-called "victims" have, in fact, been on other FOX reality shows. For example, you may have noticed something familiar about "Robert." It seems that he may actually be Jordan (IV) from Forever Eden. Take a look at this this picture. Additionally, "Douglas" appears to actually be "Michael" from the same show, as seen in this image. Furthermore, both Elli Frank and Kerry appeared on The Casino and Daniel apparently previously appeared in an episode of Babylon 5. Special thanks to Kyle1234 for bringing this to the attention of the readers of this guide and cgbrannigan for verifying it.
Apology accepted.![]()
If anyone needs me, I'll be in the closet, screaming. If this additional information is true, I should have recognized Michael and Jordan, but I've blocked out most of the FE period of my life... and regardless, I introduced both series and I didn't spot it.Of course, TJ did the second episode for both series and he didn't spot it either. I guess that's supposed to be a relief...
Migawd. Are they ripping off Joe Schmo, too? At the very end, we'll have one real contestant and everyone else revealing themselves as actors?
Estee...I've been meaning to tell you...

I am actually an actor, playing a noisy blunt redhead from San Francisco named "Ginger." My name is Stephen Baldwin, and I'm "the other guy" on Fear Factor.
I thought you were the other guy on Celebrity Blackjack.(Dave Stanz? Nice hair.)
As long as your not 'that guy'. (the guy the talks trash all episode then loses by a mile in the last challenge).
LAST EDITED ON 12-12-04 AT 00:19 AM (EST)Estee...
When I saw the first episode, I thought there was something weird about some of those people. I was certain I had seen Elli, in particular, somewhere before. I thought she was an actress, and I thought perhaps the real con was that they were all actors.
But I got sidelined looking for the real identity of the bozo playing N. Appalling Toad, who doesn't seem to exist at all, although I'm sure I'd seen him somewhere before.
I certainly didn't spot these people as Forever Eden whores, but that's because I had my mind scrubbed.
And I have to confess, after the second episode, I stopped watching MBFOB.
fox sux.
Who cares as long as the show is funny. Fox can con me all they want, as long as they make me laugh!
"Evil" Dr. Will: Reality Show Legend!
But I got sidelined looking for the real identity of the bozo playing N. Appalling Toad, who doesn't seem to exist at all, although I'm sure I'd seen him somewhere before.He reminds me of the Dad on the Married with Children Ripoff that starred Nikki Cox.

I spent the first couple of camera shots staring at Douglas and Robert, trying to see a resemblance. There's a very little facial similarity between Douglas and Michael, but it's mostly there if you're looking for it, and Michael had a more muscular build: something makeup couldn't factor for. Robert's clearly shorter than Jordan, although they do have some facial resemblance and you could really stretch for the hair.Elli et. all -- sorry, all Casino memories still blocked.
Kerry is her name I think, not Kristy. Casino was an ok summer show, overall this show is ok, but My big fat Fiance was much better.
Did I miss anything?
