A few quick thoughts:

1. Daisy's confessionals feel completely scripted. Bret came up with enough 'live' commentary on the show and delivered his private lines with enough of a wink that it was possible to believe (at least for a moment) that sure, he could have really come up with that. Daisy -- well, let's be blunt: she doesn't come across as being all that bright. If anything, she feels less intelligent than her vocabulary. And given the way she talks, that's really hard to do. (She needed help giving out nicknames!)

So when she comes out with anything even remotely witty in the private of her purple sanctuary -- sorry, not buying it. But on the plus side, her cue card reading skills are really coming along.

2. It's possible 12-Pack (who lost his name again) is honestly attracted to Daisy and showed up here to make a serious try at winning her affections. It's also possible he's no more interested in her than he ever was in Tiffany and this is really all about getting him still more TV exposure. And free alcohol. Lots and lots of free alcohol. Which, oddly enough --

3. -- he wasn't really consuming last night. Unlike everyone else. I'm going to go out on a very narrow limb and call this the Drunkest Cast Ever from Night #1 on: from this point, the California recession will reverse as long as the sin tax hits twenty percent. The miracle is that we only had two people pass out. At least, two that we saw... Let's call him London because he drank enough to float a bridge!

4. How badly do you have to be doing as a band if you're showing up on a reality show for the free food? (By the way, if any of the triplets reproduce with Angelique, what does the kid's accent sound like?)

5. Out of the original twenty, I'm guessing the number who might be there for Daisy (as opposed to a free pass into the VH1 rotating reality family) is -- four. Could be lower. Probably isn't much higher. And you can't like those odds. Unless you're a VH1 executive, because they spell Season #2.

6. Judging by the preview footage, either the no-contact rule is out the window or we're going to be looking at a very short season.

7. Base level for a disaster description is 'train wreck' The next step up is 'bridge collapse'. For this series, I think we may get all the way to 'Chrysler bailout'...
