LAST EDITED ON 03-23-06 AT 09:31 AM (EST)Loved it, loved it, loved it....can't wait to see how the season unfolds. Oh my gosh, there will need to be counselors standing by after this show is over. Any ideas out there on how long they were in the bunker???? I would love to see the powers that be mess around with the gerbils by changing temperatures, blaring opera music, unexpected bedtimes that only last 3 hours, flashing lights, and wouldn't an unexpected earthquake be something? LOL

7. "RE: UNAN1MOUS" |
Wow!!!! My mind is racing with this one! This show could honestly earn it's rank as being very psychological and quite a social experiment. First off, the voting is crazy!!!! In the end it said someone would be voted off based on their anonymos secret, but will still get to vote. My question is what conditions will the voted person be subjected to living in? Will they be in the same enviroment but further excluded or will they be joined by others who are voted out? The secrets that they presented tonight were the type that people could easily assume that they belong to a paticular person therefore voting out someone who would be a definate vote for them or someone who is least likely to get a vote, therefore wanting them in the game opposed to out. For example, people would probably assume that the gun arrest belongs to a guy and my boyfriend himself made the assumption that it belonged to the truck driver, plus who would think that a minister would would cheat on bankruptcy? Of course the creators of the show are definately banking on these assumptions which will screw with people's head. As for the minister lady, what church does she work for? First she made the statement that the money didn't mean anything to her, then she said she wasn't excited about the money even though she showed that emotion and further went all "moral" and stated that money is the root of all evil. Sounds and smells like a hypocrit to me. Then the whole lie that Nick told about having testicular cancer and still being on medication for it and people actually falling for it!!!! C'mon people common sense, no way would a person with a serious medical condition would be casted in a situation where they are unable to see a doctor, maybe if he was in complete recovery, but that is not what he said. Who is going to win, who knows and I love it, but I do think that the first person out will be the girl with the gun arrest since they showed minister lady and psycho boy in the previews.

11. "RE: UNAN1MOUS" |
Leaving early would be a pretty large raised middle finger to the rest of the contestants. If the money drops in half even if the departing person was voted out already -- well, 'I can't win? Fine. One of you is going to win a lot less' starts to sound like a good strategy, especially since you get to cut the prize and you don't have to be in the bunker any more. We'll lose an ousted contestant just as soon as they get angry enough. Wait for it.

I've thought that, too. No mention was made about an excluded player being held hostage, so why wouldn't they leave early to screw with the players who kicked them out? And it saves money for the producers, so I am inclined to believe that they would allow this strategy. I think after the first drop in the prize, people will start making alliances that aren't possible in Survivor: "If you get voted out, stay in the bunker and help me make sure that X doesn't get the prize."

9. "RE: UNAN1MOUS" |
Before I tuned in, I wasn't going to watch it. But I happened to catch the end of Idol and I wanted to make sure Taylor didn't get the axe (he's not in trouble at all right now).So I watched a little bit. And I watched the preacher lady talk out of her byutox instead of creating an original thought of her own. And then I watched her suck in the gay guy into her world of hate, and I realized this could be an interesting show. I wish the truck driver would have won. But I'm VERY intrigued to see if the preacher lady gets booted for claiming bankruptcy when she had tons of money in the bank. She deserves the boot the most - not so much for her hypocrisy in the early part of the game. I just think that's truly the worst of the 3 secrets. 1. Claimed bankrupt even though not (liar)
2. Arms violation (no guns in the bunker - who cares)
3. Was crazy (aren't we all a little crazy!) 2 and 3 didn't necessarily hurt anyone. 1 affects us all, because we all pay for someone else's bankruptcy in the form of higher prices, interest rates, etc. Besides, if she lied about having money when she filed bankruptcy, what's to say that she really believes that "money is the root of all evil." No one is doing any campaigning for the money, which I think is interesting. The one guy did claim to have testicular cancer, which was quite shrewd! (Did the preacher lady lay hands on him when she prayed?!!) But you don't see any alliances forming. After watching Survivor, I'd expect the conservatives and the liberals to align. Or girls vs guys, something. But no one is making a team or even discussing how to come to a decision. Are these guys players or just stupid?

17. "Secrets" |
First, I want to say that I do not condone filing Bankruptcy as many, MANY people abused bankruptcy laws & It'll be interesting to see how the new legislation will affect future filers.BUT I thought the "secrets" were very craftily worded to leave many different ways to read into what the real story is. 1. Bankruptcy. -- The wording was something to the effect of "filed bankruptcy although combined household income was $100,000. That is misleading, because we don't know how much IN DEBT crazy Minister lady was or what caused them to be in debt -- poor budgeting/squandering or maybe unexpected medical bills or some other kind of uncontrollable mishap that befell her household. So, not enough information to pass judgment so far. 2. Live Ammo -- The wording was something like detained more than once for having live ammunition in possession. This is the weirdest one, because she was actually detained. Unless her state has outlawed firarms and ammo, outright, I don't understand why just having say a box of bullets would cause one to be "detained," unless there was another reason with it. Makes me think there's A LOT more to this story. This is actually the secret that I would probably vote out first, just because it is the most suspect to me. Again, not enough info on it, though. 3. Looney Bin -- This person spent time in a mental institution. Well, I've never been, BUT again not enough info. There are numerous reasons a person could be voluntarily or involuntarily committed and this is the first question I would wonder. This guy could've had a nervous breakdown, he could have attempted suicide, severe depression --there are numerous reasons that have nothing to do with him possibly harming any other person or being a raving lunatic. I don't know how interesting this show will turn out to be, but I am going to keep tuning in to see how it develops. My favorite thing is the "revelation of secrets" because I think the way the contestants rationalize each one gives insight on the way many people judge others on a whole. This show is very psychological and that is the best draw for me. Honestly, if it was my secret, I would come clean to the others & explain why I did what I did and let them decide on the real facts whether I should be eliminated. A crafty player whose secret doesn't have a "good reason" would also be smart to come clean, but lie about the facts and twist the secret into something not so bad. This could go so many ways, it's great. Can't wait to see what the lab rats do next week & what other "secrets" are revealed.

20. "RE: FWIW..." |
I was psyched about this show because of it's screwball rules and twist and the fact that it's purely a mind game, one that people really have to play into others thoughts and reasoning, but these people have yet to show they are capable of this game playing.Example one would be the fact that these people actually believe Nick has testicular cancer. I could have seen it more if the guy said that he used to have it and was now recovered but for them to believe that he still has it and needs medication is ridiculous. The producers would not have put a person with a serious medical condition into this game where they wouldn't have access to the medical attention that they need, therefore if Nick actually had this ailment he would not be there. Secondly, the previews showed the other players accussing and believing that the once mental patient, who is voted out, of not voting for Steve. Why would this guy turn around and vote for someone else when his only purpose in this game is to be a vote? He has no chance of winning the money and he still has to sit there in that bunker and deal with everyone, the camaras and conditions so why would he mess with the vote to stay there longer? He wouldn't and he didn't. The guy would rather be out of there and know that the money went to someone who he liked and felt deserved the money. The third thing would be how quick these people were willing to hand over the money. Yes, it was nice of them not to be greedy or selfish and to want the money to go to someone they felt deserving rather than sit there and argue over it just to walk away with nothing or at least nothing substantial enough to be worth it, but why not try a couple more days before throwing in the towel? Why not try to feel people out more and get people to see that they need the money and therefore are deserving of it? Could anyone imagine these people on Survivor or even Big Brother? They would all quit!!! All in all I like this show but I was highly disappointed that they thought the worse secret was the guy who had mental problems. Obviously this guy is not a danger to them or himself or he wouldn't be there (another example of them not thinking). I would have chosen the cheating on the bankruptcy secret because to me I wouldn't want someone who pulls that crap to get the money over me. I'm not all that convinced that Kelly (minister) will leave. I think she is using it as a threat.

21. "RE: UNAN1MOUS" |
I watched it for the first time last night and immediately came to a few conclusions.1. The voting process and reveal are among the cheesiest things I've ever seen. 2. That prize money amount is going to drop a lot more before anything gets settled. 3. The odds of halving the prize are very good. The chances of quartering it aren't bad either. Dividing it by eight isn't out of the question. Or sixteen... 4. Yes, we understand that they're underground. Enough with the transition shots. 5. Anderson Cooper should be hosting.

I haven't gone to the FOX page and looked into their backgrounds (partially because I don't care and partially 'cause FOX contestant pages are minimalist at best), but she probably is an ordained minister. But three minutes on the right webpage and I'm an ordained minister, so it doesn't mean as much as it used to.

I thought when Steve was talking to his wife he had asked her if she would be ok with him lying if he needed to. I took this as he hasn't lied but is willing to in order to get the money. Maybe, at the time, his confidence in the others seeing him as a good canidate for the money wasn't high as he was chosen to be secluded.

>Will someone please tell me what

>tape cut out right when
>they were voting. During the voting, it was revealed that Tarah, Vanessa, and Jameson now have an alliance and they are trying to position themselves so that one of them will win. Tarah and Vanessa both got two votes. Since the vote was not unanimous, JD said that one more player had to leave the game and become an outcast. The players would decide who the outcast would be by entereing the isolation chamber one at a time and voting for who should be outcast. "Crazy" Richard voluteered to be the outcast saying no one liked him, he has already been outcast once, and he won't win anyway. He was the first to vote and while he was voting, the others agreed Richard only said this to try and get back on everyone's good side. Richard tries to vote himself as the outcast but JD tells him that is not allowed. Richard gets ticked off and votes for Adam to be outcast. Jonathan then voted for Vanessa. We see the rest of the people vote, but are not told who they vote for. To find out who will be outcast, we have to watch next week. ----SPOILER ALERT----- ----SPOILER ALERT----- ----SPOILER ALERT----- I taped the show and watched the previews for next week three times and I notice that 7 of the 8 reamining contestants are shown not where the outcast's uniform next week. The contestant only shown from the neck up during the previews is Adam, so I am pretty sure he is outcast. I could be wrong though. Too bad if it's true. I really like him.

Personally I would have tried
to get everyone to unanimously
vote not to give anyone the money.
After watching a few episodes now
I feel it's a silly concept, why
in hell would I want to vote to give
a stranger money for no dam good
reason over me.
I would try to convince everyone
to vote for me. They are following
what they were told, vote for
someone to give the money to
unanimously or stay in the bunker.
Change the rules is what I would
have been trying to do or I would
have done just like preacher woman
and taken myself out of the stupid
game.

If no more exiles got to go back in, what would keep them on the show at all. If I were told that I am not eligible to win the money but I can hang around and vote, I'd be out the door. But I guess these folks are on the show just to be on TV and get their 15 minutes of fame.

Steve opened the box - he was given instructions to pick one other contestant immediately to also be outcast. He chose Vanessa because he's a stupid tool who hasn't been able to figure out how much Jonathan has been playing him this whole game.The players decided that the more important vote was the outcast vote and kept trying to line up their votes for that. Richard was going back and forth between the two factions as they tried to figure out who to get rid of next. The group gets to see videos from a family member of the remaining four players, where they describe show why that person has the character to win. Jameson explains that he once gave his life savings to help someone sick. Tarah was nearly broke but insisted on buying a meal for a homeless man when she was going to McDonald's. Richard would share everything he had, brak brak brak. When Jonathan's sister was unemployed, he left a $20 bill on her dresser every morning. For some reason, Jonathan's story affected the other contestants the most. After again not having a unanimous vote on who would win the money, the four players still in the game were sent across the bridge. Then, the outcasts were each instructed to pick one contestant who would remain in the game. The person not picked would become the next outcast. Steve saves Richard, Adam saves Jonathan, and Vanessa is about to say whether she's going to save Tarah or Jameson when... See you next week.

Thanks! See, this is why I said there are too many outcasts. Is next week the final show? Now that only Tarah or Jameson, Jonathan, and Richard are the final three, the decision is too easy. Steve won't vote for Tarah or Jameson, no one will vote for Richard, so Jonathan is the only real choice left. Everyone will have to see that, right? Of course, IF Jonathan wins, they have to tell Steve he was the one that cost him $1.5 mil before they leave the bunker. That will be TV GOLD right there! "Evil" Dr. Will: Reality Show Legend!

Hey, kids: it's time for fun with math! Seven players left. Approximately $400,000 still available. One person walks: $200,000.
Two people walk: $100,000.
Three people walk: $50,000
Four people walk: $25,000 This is the last point left where anyone can win, since it takes at least a 2-1 vote. Two people can only vote for each other: no majority, no winner. As soon as Mole #5 steps out the door, the game is over. A mass departure would be fun to watch on the money clock, though.

Honestly, I had some high hopes for this show and ended up being disappointed. I should have listened to others who knew it was a rotten apple from the start. It's getting to the point of nonesense. Bringing back another player when the numbers have dwindled down to three!!! I really don't know how these people are going to pull off voting a winner, a shame really all that money and no one wants to come to a conclusion. Steve has started to irritate me too, when I do tune in that is. He seems to act all mighty. I especially thought his little tears were ridiculous when he initiated the fight with Adam and was the one who was doing all the bashing.
