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."

"Human Nature" |
Several times in the episodes, the producers refer to the show as being "an experiment". Maybe this is true; maybe it's giving the whole thing too much credit.On the other hand, I think I've learned a lot about human nature. Not from watching Matt's reactions, but from seeing the fans' reactions here on the board. I had no idea that modern society could be cynical AND paranoid at the same time. SpikeTV has handed us what is essentially a giant conspiracy: everyone (including the audience) is in on the "joke" except for poor Matt. And what's the first thing that people start to do on this board? They invent even MORE elaborate conspiracies! Let's see if I've got them all.... 1) Everyone is an actor; everyone knows the truth. This is a scripted show masquerading as reality TV. 2) Matt is an actor, but he has been hired to convince the other actors that he is a "real schmo". 3) Matt IS a real schmo, but he has been told everything and instructed to convince the others that he doesn't know. 4) Matt IS a real schmo, and he WASN'T told in advance, but he figured things out on the first day and the producers begged him to pretend until the end. Do any of these conspiracies seem plausible at all? Not in my opinion. But we've been deluged with so much Reality TV that we (to quote Matt) "can't even tell what's real anymore". We're all waiting for the other shoe to drop, even if it doesn't exist. Me, I just enjoy the show. The Ghost Cat "God has created the cat to give man the pleasure of caressing the tiger."

1. "RE: Human Nature" |
First, welcome to the board Ghost!I agree with you about just enjoying the show but I don't think we've all become "cynical and paranoid" as you claim as well as inventing more conspiracies. We do this because it gives us something entertaining to do between shows!!! You are entitled to your opinion, of course, but so is everyone else. We are all just exspressing ours as a means of keeping each other laughing and it's all in lighthearted fun. If you've not found us entertaining here (or yourself laughing) go over to the Off Topic Forum and laugh your butt off, for real (I'm not being sarcastic either,I damn near pee my pants on a regular basis there). Here is just a sample of a posted link there: http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/index.html
But first tell me you don't find all the summaries hysterical as well as our responses to them. In the meantime I'll see if I can dig up a welcome basket for you.

>between shows!!! I think, as someone else mentioned, that you're getting a little bit sensitive here. I didn't say that YOU as an individual are cynical and paranoid, I said that human nature/society in general seems to be a lot more cynical than it used to be. And it seems that Conspiracy Theories (in every subject, not just Joe Schmo) have become a major past-time. >

>off, for real Hey, I find this forum highly entertaining, or else I wouldn't be here. In fact, I find conspiracies highly entertaining too (I watched X-Files and Lone Gunmen). It's just nice to talk about a variety of subjects, not just "Does Matt know?". >But first tell me you don't

> Of course I love the summaries, but what does that have to do with my original message? Soooo, anyway. Everyone here can make observations about how silly the show is sometimes, but I'm not allowed to make observations about how silly this forum is sometimes?

23. "RE: Beware low-flying witches..." |
you know what kicks such serious ass? Even though I am the neediest person on the planet and obviously did not get enough attention as a child, all I have to do is blatantly beg for people to come to my parade and it happens. Best. parade. ever.

11. "A loving whack" |
We don't give mean whacks here Guppi. It was more of a "would you please play nicely or you'll be asked to do a time out from the pool" kinda kiss. Why heck I even went and got a lovely gift basket for the ghost and still I was attacked. Well maybe not attacked but my thoughts were all taken the wrong way and turned around and golly, gee, whiz, what am I to do?
Woe **hearts** Lisapooh, so can ya help me out here?

31. "RE: Whack Good, Fire Bad" |
It was meant in fun Bebo but I sometimes forget that JS posters aren't always OT posters and not privy to the meaning or use of whacks and spranks. What was I to do as I sat here rolling my eyes because my good spirited fun was taken too seriously?And for the record I NEVER hit any of my brothers with anything besides hugs and kisses.
