PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"The Ultimate Love Test" |
This show premiers tonight on ABC, at 10/9 c. I haven't seen or heard very much about this show. From the description on the ABC website, here, it looks to be a rip off of Temptation Island. From what I read, it looks like 4 couples take some sort of test, then they are separated. One half of each couple is left at home, and the other half is taken to a resort to have their relationship tested. Sounds awful, but I might just have to watch.

1. "RE: The Ultimate Love Test" |
We haven't run a story on it yet because even ABC seems to be giving up on the show already -- they haven't put out a single press release yet, which is pretty much unheard of. I think they are saving themselves for "The Two-Timer" -- that premieres June 23 and looks much more entertaining (and I'm working on a story on it now, as well as stories about Joe Schmo 2 -- Spike mailed me a screener of the first episode, it's pretty good -- and TBS' Outback Jack.) I'm pretty sure ABC's Love Test is DOA... -SB

I might go ahead and watch it. Just to see. ABC needs to abondon their reality show dreams. They have not had one good idea besides "The Bachelor" and even that star is fading. Remember The Family and I'm a Celebrity......... ?? Yikes.

8. "RE: The Ultimate Love Test" |
Well, the first episode has aired. I came across it on the guide and decided to give it a watch. I'm not sure I've really formed an opinion of this show, other than UGH!!The format so far: 4 couples testing their relationships 1 of each of the couples is sent on a mysterious 3 week test, leaving the other one at home. It seems to me that the initial person leaving was the one more likely to stray, and the one left at home is more the jealous type. In the video previews they show each of them reacting to videos from their partner(including footage of both of them) Once they are separated, each of the people leaving are told they are going to a tropical resort. The show has hand picked someone for them to spend the next 3 weeks with. Heather/Frank - Heather's ex boyfriend C.R. is there for her
Kenesha/Brandon - woman Brandon met at an office from back home is there for him
Amber/Diego - Amber gets a guy who wants to travel (something Diego doesn't want to do)
Carolyn/Jayre - Jayre gets three dream women to spend his time there Seriously, do any of these couples have a chance, it seems to me that they have all odds against them. The worst part is that it's really going to affect their relationships in the long run and if it's not even going to last on TV, not all the episodes are shown, than what's the point?!?
I really don't agree with the fact that someone they already know is the one who they are testing there relationship with, I don't know it just doesn't seem right.

9. "Opinions?" |
Well, IMHO, it was ok. Like I said in another thread, I'm all about short reality dating shows, so this format is great. I'm glad the producers really thought about which half to send away & which to stay at home. The made all the really insecure people stay at home & all the party people go to Cabo.My hopes/predictions:
Jayre will cheat in many forms (at least kissing). His girlfriend back home will be quite sad, but will forgive him in the end. Brandon will at least kiss the girl and do as much as he thinks he can get away with. It will be too much for his girlfriend & they'll break up. Rock star girl won't do anything bad, but will have doubts. Insecure boyfriend will be a real jerk about it, but they'll stay together. I don't give em long before she's miserable, though. BF will repeatedly remind her of the flirtation with the ex & continue to be insecure. Who is the other couple...Amanda & Diego? She'll have a great time, have fun with the attention, but will miss Diego. They'll stay together.

11. "RE: Opinions?" |
I agree with everything you said schnookie. Carolyn is so freaking annoying. This show is OK, but I dont know if I will continue to watch it. I just didnt really care about any of the couples. I think Diego is a little full of himself and I the only person I like is Brandons girlfriend. I think her name was Janesha.

I watched it because I was bored. I still don't remember their names. And so far nobody came off as really likeable. I guess I'll watch again tonight and see if I watch the rest or not.

15. "Brandon" |
Brandon is the same person that got booted from BigBrother last season for calling his girlfriend from the hotel. Remember he was on the original cast photos that were released on the BB website. Then he just wasn't on the the show. I guess he got on another reality show now.

Here's the story from last year: http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=1367 And apparently this is actually the DAW's third show. And he's proud of it: http://www.surfingbarrels.com/AboutMe/reality.htm Rachel for FLOM3 also looks very familiar for some reason... -SB

Being in Cabo with a girl he has a crush on is just asking for trouble. I don't think he'll be able to hold himself back. I hope his girlfriend leaves him but she'll probably keep him. Sap!
