Outback Jack.... real name is Vadim Dale.

The former underwear model is originally from the very ritzy East Melbourne and currently lives in the even more exclusive beachside retreat of Melbourne's old money, Sorrento. And he went to school at Timbertop – the very elite alma mater of Prince Charles.

What a phoney he is...with all his pretend macho crap.

This explains Mum's preference for Marissa's "sophistication".

She wants Baby Boy to marry someone who looks classy in a designer dress.

Didn't mum also say something about "aristocratic"?

Or did i just imagine that. This "old money" theory ties in well with their choices.

RollDdice creation

I'm not sure she used "aristocratic," but she did say, "sophisticated."

Yes, Mumsy referred to Marissa as "aristocratic".

The fellowship of the banana shall unite us! Well....most of us.

After seeing his mother's house part of me isn't surprised.

Yeah, what was up with that? Shouldn't she be living in a bamboo or mud hut considering the roughened life she and Jack are supposed to live. I didn't watch enough but did they mention where Jack's dad was in all of this?

At least whoever he picks at the end doesn't really have to worry about roughing it with Jack in the outback. Why can't they find a "real" Grisley Adams type of person to make it somewhat realistic. Isn't Dan Haggerty still alive?

I don't think any of them are really roughing it. Their hair is way too clean, their makeup too perfect, and their hair does not look naturally dried.

Wouldn't the cameras have to have cords? Or are they battery powered?

I have visions of a deluxe RV parked just off camera.

>I don't think any of them are really roughing it. Their hair >is way too clean, their makeup too perfect, and their hair does >not look naturally dried.

Hey that's right! In the early episodes I remember noticing that they didn't have big hair any more but ya no one has had frizzy hair for weeks now.

If not the camera, then maybe the cameraman. I wouldn't sign up to roughing it as a camera person. I'm sure they have several trailers or RV's nearby.

I belive you are mistaken on two counts. First, the "house" does not belong to Vadim's mother, nor was that ever insinuated -- that was strictly your assumption. It's a lux resort in the middle of the Kimberley Wilderness call the El Questro Homestead.

Secondly, why is Vadim's appropriateness for the show's premise invalidated because he grew up in the city and was well educated? His list of physical accomplishments is as impressive as it is rare; he is clearly an elite athlete. Further, he has worked as a station hand in Victoria, which is a brutal existence even for the toughest of men.

Regardless that he doesn't live in the Outback full-time, I don't find anything in his background that undermines his claim as an "athlete/outdoorsman".

By the way, nothing was mentioned of his father because he was killed in a car accident.

Victoria has small stations and are easily run given the extreme close proximity to a major city and shipping port. I doubt any stations would be without electricity and with the little number of stock, mostly tame, well fed sheep or very small numbered well generationed stock lines, its a cakewalk, hardly a brutal existance.

Up north things are still pretty old ways.

I have a cousin who jumped from a ute onto the back of a rogue pig. He got hurt pretty bad and it killed the pig outright because it ended up under the ute. But that was nothing compared to the hiding he got when he arrived back at the station and my Uncle gave him a serve for playing up in the car and ripping out the exhaust pipe with the pig. My cousin is 15. His 12 year old brother was driving.

Stupid I agree,

but we want to see Outback Jack do that. That would make great TV.

What you describe sounds more like the outback male lifestyle,but my question to you is do you think that type of thing would attract women like the ones on Jacks show to them?

To that I say probably not.The girls chosen for his reality Tv show are all probably mostly wanting to make a name for themselves in the media with the hope of another future contract on Tv.A 'real' 'outback jack' wouldn`t be suited to play a 'role' for these big time executive producers making yet another reality Tv show.

What do you reckon cloncurry boy and anyone else out there?

........but my question to you is do you think that type of thing would attract women like the ones on Jacks show to them? .

Most of the women on the show were your typical Texas Rose/American Princess type. Great fun gals on Sunset blvd but you said it yourself, he's a bozo and they were really competing amongst themselves in a "stay on TV for as long as you can and hope someone notices you" show. That in itself is a challenge to get them to think about someone else besides themselves in such a short time, quite why they pick such fake ones for a 'reality show' is kinda weird.

If the girls really could survive without all the luxuries like tents, fresh food and having someone stop them from drinking all the fresh water we might have got a real show. Lets face it, a better show would have been if they could steal the heart of the average outback cattle property heir, then they stand to become instant multi-Millionaress'anyway. Winner could have married him and flown home to the U.S. every other weekend.

Getting past his Mum would prove the big final challenge, and I'll wager it would be prime time viewing out here. Imagine well educated/ well to do familied Mother letting American gold digger near golden boy. Rounding up chickens in yard, mustering cattle on motorbikes, sleeping on ground, ( did I mention the ants) washing in steel water tanks, dipping 200,000 cattle and cutting poo off the hair on their tails so it doesn't become fly-blown, ( yuk job for girls) fixing machinery, taking unsuspecting girls to huge dance where 500 young men ( who can all dance by the way) will drive 700 miles to fight over them,...... Phew, Now THAT would be a show.

Look at my single cousin for instance, part Heir to 2 properties
and runs/inherits biggest cattle transport business in top end of Oz. Owns own jet. Why doesn't he have a girl. MOTHER!!.
Hows that sound instead??
Hmm, actually that sounds like one ugly confrontation.

Great cloncurry boy! Well said.I think what you describe would make a fantastic reality Tv show.Little princesses getting very very dirty with absolutely no luxuries-especially not clean water and a tent-hell, not even a dunny,just a hole in the ground!No toilet paper just some weathered papirus!(sorry for sounding so grose)

Quick!!contact the American tele networks,It`ll be a real winner!

What do you reckon cloncurry boy?

Yeah, Auzzie humour, can you Imagine all the jokes.

You know, conversation at the dance,

Girl No1 asks country boy "hey!whats wrong with your arm?"

Contestant Number 46 "Oh, I broke it falling from a tree."

Girl 1, "What were you doing up a tree?"

Number 46" Trying to climb out of the Helicopter!"

Oh wait, thats not funny! That happened to me.

And the conversation continues out in the local scout hall:

Hey you,your real nice,why dont you come over here.
But before you do be sure to bring us a VB stubbie.

OH a VB stubbie ,what`s that?

Hey mate get one for me, I`m too plastered..Thanks matie.
See this...This is a VB.The best thing after you sweetheart!
Helps ya relax and see the beauty in all you "Yankie doodle dandies".What do ya reckon beautiful?

I want one too

YiaHOOOOO.Hey mate,we`ve got a real livewire here!Go for it get us another coldie mate,the lady wants to try some!Quick and cold!

Oh I can`t stand these mosquitos! They keep biting me Ouch!It`s so itchy!

Dont worry love.It means they like ya, because ya drink VB you become sweet and warm on the inside,no worries mate, keep drinkin!

We could write a script cloncurry boy .What do you think?

Outback Jack was on ET. He now wants to try his hand at acting in Hollywood. Are any of us surprised?

He said the finale was filmed 3 months ago and he has not been able to see his 'Special Sheila' since then. So he said he is chomping at the bit to be reunited with her.

I really don't know what it was that any of those women saw in him, personally I think they projected on him a lot of what they hoped for.

I didn't find him that attractive or interesting either. I laughed because several of the women that were kicked off early in the show were on ET or Access Hollywood. They said they didn't really find him attractive so they were happy to go home. I would have been one of those. Why put up with all those bugs and yucky things for him?

My DH was so annoyed by the way he talked. He thought he was like an Aussie William Shatner always talking so strangely.

Well said and "here here",Loree.I am not surprised in the least.Outback Jack is a total farce!A complete reality joke show!But still,I love to watch!

Did anyone in Australia see the finale last night?
What did you think of his ultimate choice?
And how about Maria`s performance upon his rejection of her?
I thought what I alwys thought about Maria , and that is that she definately has NO DIGNITY.He was slurping all over her mouth right up to the point of his ultimate goodbye to her,while Marrissa and 'Princess' were watching right beside the hot air balloon in anticipation of his great teary arrival!
It was so lame it made me sick!!
What did others think?
