Are you going to try to win the sweepstakes for the ALTS watching the final episode.

I don't normally have any interest in things like this but I, too, would be interested to meet the ALTS. A better grand prize would be at least a weekend (if not longer) with them to learn more from them about their lifestyles and beliefs (except maybe Don. I tend to prefer my vampires to be of the Angel/Spike variety, not so much for the soul as for their sex appeal).

I DID like them all. I found each one of them to be very interesting and unique.

Would I ever get into a coffin? Hell, I'll try anything once! ;)

I knew a guy in college who claimed he slept in the coffin he had in his one room apartment. He also drove an old hearse as his personal wheels. He wasn't a vampire, just non-denominationally weird.

Like Harold, from Harold and Maude?

I loved that movie. I always wanted to get a Jaguar and do that to it... how many of all you all have seen Harold and Maude?

"I myself have strong christan beliefs, but it would not stop me in learning about something that was outside of my "safe zone""

That is exactly how I feel, Love2smile!

Just watched this today. I was surprised too that only 4 were willing to try it. I wonder if any of them will be a little more willing next time. If not this could be a boring bunch. I noticed that none of the players that were willing to go along with the Voodoo lady were given necklaces.

You would think that going on to a Reality Show, contestants would have at least known in advance that that they were going to be asked to do some unusual things on the show. I figured that the person booted off would have to be one of the six that did not participate. Didn't the ALTS warn them up front that they were being judged on how well they adapted in to the house?

It seems like this bunch isn't that greedy for winning the money. If you are going to bother to go on a reality show, I would think you would try everything to win. I realize that they didn't know whose home they were going to. And it sounds like a few of them were picked because they had strong religious beliefs. But it does seem odd. Maybe as they get into the game they will be more willing to play along.

I loved this show. I too was worried about how the Wiccan was going to be shown, I have a lot of Wiccan friends and I hate the misconceptions t.v. and movies give the "general" public.

I would LOVE to be in that house, all the alts seemed really cool and I love learning about different life styles. The only problem I could forsee is the guy hanging from the celing by his back, not that it's not cool, that just kinda squicks me out (but hey more power to him) I'd love however to see exactly what all his tats are.

FYI, Scifi might have a Joe Schmo-like modest cable hit on its hands:

Is it a HUGE cable hit and a modest broadcast hit? How do these numbers work in comparison?

>Is it a HUGE cable hit and a modest broadcast hit?
> How do these numbers work in comparison?

For channels like Scifi, Spike TV, etc. 1.5 millions is big.

...for "bigger" cable channels like MTV, USA Network, even FX, 1.5 isn't that big.

For example, Todd TV did 800k in its premiere and was a dud -- those numbers were BELOW what FX used to get running Cops repeats in the same slots. For Spike TV on the other hand, Joe Schmo's 800k premiere was good, and the numbers that followed were even better.

...but if those shows were on a channel like MTV -- where 3-4 million a week watch MTV's first Real World airing and 4-5 million watch something like Newlyweds, those numbers would be nothing. Then on the other hand you have something like USA's Nashville Star, which averaged just under 2 million a episode on Saturday nights last year, but Saturday nights are the black hour of viewership, so those were decent enough numbers there that USA brought it back again.

Scifi's numbers were good -- they were double what they normally get in the time period, and it was a very difficult time period, probably the most competitive period on TV (even moreso than Thursdays at 8PM.)

The ratings are probably somewhat higher. It would be interesting to see the combined ratings of the premiere and it's repeat this weekend. I know I completely missed it's first showing and from this thread, so did several others.

I wish Survivor would do a repeat somewhere during the week like most other shows seem to do. I would be less worried that my VCR would suddenly fail.

I think the show is very funny & interesting.

For those who have had CBS pulled by the Viacom/DISH Battle of the Titans, and will lose their CSI on Thursday--I say check it out! On the SciFi Channel.

To quote from Webby's article above,
For those who missed it, the Scifi Channel will rebroadcast Mad Mad House's premiere episode on March 11 at 8PM ET/PT -- right before the program's second episode airs in its regular 9PM ET/PT time period.

I love it too Swami! I have to say I'm sorry Kelly is gone. I'm going to miss her and her faces. Last night's segment with her "releasing" her fears was the funniest 2 minutes of television I've seen in ages. I'm just so sorry I didn't tape it so I could watch it over and over and over again.

Kelly ........ What.A.Wacko.

a JSlice original. isn't she something?
