Humm... well this doesn't sound good... then again, I'm not exactly sure what he thought of Bachelor, Joe Millionaire, etc...

"For Love or Money" is so intensely dreadful that you can actually feel your brain stem separating from your cranium while watching it. To paraphrase a popular slogan, it's not TV. It's NBC.

Ouch! I don't know if it was THAT bad.

It wasn't that bad. This was much better than "Mr. Personality".

I didn't think it was bad at all... the ceremony at the end was... well endless... but I thought it was great that getting called up didn't mean the women moved on to the next round and that he had to personally reject each woman face to face.

I'll watch again -- and there are plenty of possible spoiler vidcaps to be analyzed too

I thought that the setting was a bit... "confining", shall we say? Maybe I'm just used to the Bachelor/Bachelorette room, but everything just seemed so jammed tight together. Of course, Evan in Joe Millionaire had all that chateau land to roam.

Maybe it'll be better when they go out on exciting dates.

I think 2 hours was a bit long for this, also. They ended up showing "filler" of each girl going down the stairs, each girl getting dressed, each girl this, each girl that... became repetitive.

But the concept seems okay, even if Rob is a bit "blah". Should be fun to watch the cat claws come out!

I didn't think it was that bad. Obviously, though, the show has some fatal flaw in its concept, that being that why would anyone pick some guy they just met over a million dollars. Also, what's to stop the girl from cashing the check and then calling Rob up a week later to get together?

Further, whatever did this poor slob do to deserve being made a complete ass of himself on national tv for the next few weeks. This premise works a lot better if the guy is a complete jerk so at least you have a rooting interest in the girls getting the money. At the very least they are going to have to give Rob some sort of consolation prize (ala Joe Millionaire) for this show to wrap up with any sort of warm fuzzies at the end.

And last, but not least, the biggest problem I have with the show is that they told the girls aobut the money in the first place....this premise would've worked out better if they played it off like a Bachelor type marriage show and then seconds after the Rob proposed and the girl said yes they hit her up with the million dollar payoff offer. Now THAT would've been some good drama with hilarious hypocritical backtracking on the part of the woman who at that point would have to either stick by all the glowing things she said about Rob or admit she is just there for the payout and take the money. Much better finale in my opinion.

Also, my biggest complaint by far with the show is that someone ought to tell Rob that it doesn't sound or look good to have your mouth wired shut when trying to speak. I swear to god I've spent parts of the last couple of days going up to people who I knw watched the show and saying with my teeth completely clenched, "I like your shoes, but I don't think its gonna work out between us"

The biggest plus of this show...without a doubt the best looking cast of whores I've ever seen on any reality show.

Also, can someone answer this for me...wasn't Will from BigBrother originally supposed to be the host or was that a different show I'm thinking of?

Not that I'm a Conspiracy Theorist or anything , and I know how much shakes just looooves my theories , but here goes:

I'll go out on a limb and predict that the final girl WILL choose to keep Rob over the money... then they'll be given the million dollars anyway.

After all, if it goes any other way, it'll be a "bad ending."

We'll see how things shape up as it goes along...

That's exactly what I was thinking, Dawg! Give NBC the chance to promote the "surprise finale that everyone will be talking about!"

Kelly is the obvious villian of this show, now that Christie is gone. I'll be watching closely this week to see if she can steal the "Dating Show B!itch" title away from our beloved JoeMill Heidi.

I got a real Erin vibe last week. She's simply Sandra Bullockesque! I predict she goes a loooooong way.

What do you think Rob does that disgusts the fair maidens and requires him to apologize for being a jerk? I'll wager that it involves alcohol in some way.

Wrong NBC dating reality show... Will's "Love Shack" show seems to be dead and buried and way back in the RealityTVWorld news archives:

First announced 7/24/2002:

http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=481

In August it was "delayed until midseason" -- no sign of it since:

http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=510

The thing was now probably filmed over a year ago... the last show I remember sitting in the can for that long was "Love Cruise" -- maybe NBC will burn the 6 episodes during a three week span in September? Let's face it, any show that starts with "Love..." is clearly cursed.

11. "Will Kirby update"
LAST EDITED ON 06-10-03 AT 10:49 PM (EST)

Hey shakes, clearly you're not the only former media whore lurking around the boards, yesterday I got an update email from Will Kirby pointing me to the below:

http://www.eonline.com/Reviews/Tv/Scoop/Archive2003/030513c.html

Will "The Evil Doctor" Kirby from Big Brother 2 was supposed to host his own reality show. Is that still in the works?
Ah, Dr. Will...he of the mirror obsession and ever-present shorts--and the plotting winner of the second season of Big Brother. Yes, he will finally host his own reality show this summer on NBC. The series, which was originally called Love Shack, then changed to Single Guys and is now known as Perfect Partners, has been kicking around for awhile. It was originally scheduled to debut last summer but is now due midseason this year. Now, though no specific date has been mentioned, a Peacock net rep suggests the show will make it to the tube in late June or early July. Kirby, who has also served as a correspondent on Extra and is included in a feature on former reality-show contestants in the premiere issue of hipster pop-culture mag Radar, plays host to a pair of love seekers, who live with and compete in challenges with members of the opposite sex. Of course, it's all done in the name of finding true love (and the shot at a prize that includes a one-year lease on a swanky love nest).

And speaking of reality love matches, the word is that Will and his own BB2 mate, Shannon (the only housemate who was more hated than Will himself), are no longer cohabitating in their own love shack.

FYI, NBC's media site still doesn't list any info for a show called "Perfect Partners" -- something that's not a good sign for a show that is reportedly to begin airing in the next few weeks (NBC has had info for shows like The Restaurant, Last Comic Standing, Last Action Hero, etc. for what seems forever -- at least 6 months.)

Rob has the personality of a dishrag, but the show was NOT as bad as this guys thinks it is. At least the ladies add a lot of drama.

At least this critic's article made Shakes post.
